This movie was a revolution in how to use CG in feature film movies, and I'm pretty sure lots of execs at Pixar and Dreamworks started to sweat from their butt when the movie came out, like the signal that "the raytracing party is over and if we don't get a bit creative, we're gonna be left in the dust". Which in turns, gave Turning Red from Pixar and Bad Guys from Dreamworks, which were by far their most stylistically creative movies in years, which, I'm pretty sure, were Pixar and Dreamworks answers to Spiderverse. I'm loving how the CG industry is now taking a different direction that what the Pixar Dreamworks duopoly had made us be used to for the past 2 decades, and projects like Spiderverse and Arcane are now spearheading that new direction.

You make a prescient point about animation being essentially, moving illustrations. And how spiderverse plays so well off of that. The trend for animation has, for long a time now, been to make things increasingly realistic. But thats always struck me as counter productive. As past a certain point it just makes things uncanny. And it doesn't really add much to the story. (I don't think encanto would be any better for seeing bruno's individual nose hairs). if the medium is ever to truly move forward, then going back to its roots in illustration and drawing would help a great deal. Klaus and Vincent are two other movies that do this brilliantly. Albeit with very different results. And with the amount that technology can do to aid the production process now, it needn't cost more.

I find it interesting that in the examples you provided of hatching and half-toning "substituting" traditional lighting, there is also clear use of that traditional lighting. Particularly the latter; there are clear gradients on Miles' face, and the spider itself looks more like a digital painting than a from a comic book.

I think the measure of a strong visual style is when you can grab a screenshot from literally any point in the film's runtime and have it be instantly recognisable.

I'm a recently-graduated animator. I went into college hating 3D animation for how soulless it was and how it's just been a way for Disney and Pixar to show off their computer software and make hyperrealistic CGI horror shows instead of well-thought-through feature films. Into the Spider-Verse changed my entire perspective on 3D animation and made me excited for it again. It showed me new possibilities for stylistically creative CG animated feature films. This movie changed everything for me - it's a masterpiece and I'm so glad it exists.

I like how the SFX sound for the donut thrown as “DONUT”. Hilarious lol

This video was very well written, never thought I’d be hearing about how the spiderverse revolutionized animations but here I am

It isn't just the ground-breaking visuals. They nailed the soundtracks too.

One of the rare cg films I have ever had.., that feeling about that “yeah, this is going to be the must have experience of the year” and made it the must see of my schedule. I’m so glad it beat out incredibles 2 that year.

Why does everyone talk about spider pig from the Simpsons movie instead of the fact that spider ham existed before that movie even came out

just saw across the spiderverse a couple days ago and it absolutely lived up to my expectations, the mix of artistic and animation styles is ingenious and the way the shots are framed and “filmed” is immersive and attention grabbing and its one of the few sequels to an animated movie that really feels like its a solid next step in the franchise instead of just hanging off of it like a money keychain

Spiderverse is still one of my favorite movies ever. Awesome storytelling and visuals that just blew my mind watching it in theaters. I hope there's a sequel in the works

literally every single frame of the movie could be used as a background or wallpaper

I grew up watching Pixar and their films. Toy Story and the rest of the classics but only Spider-Verse has made me truly think "this, THIS is what 3d animated films should be like" Break the mold, challenge the medium, that's what they did and I'm glad more studios are following suit like the recent Arcane and their impeccable art direction

i love that spider pigs nose blinks at the same time.

It’s really a gem on its own, also the use of different frame rates per character as a development arc is so awesome. (Miles has an lower frame rate when slinging through the forest and still learning, and the older more experienced Peter has a higher smoother frame rate while slinging because he knows what he’s doing. Making miles look visually and literally more choppy)

"the first theatrically released animated film to depict an Avenger" wait a minute. I didn't realize until now how true this is. Aside from CGI in live action movies, theres been no full length animated mcu films until now.

I remeber when I first saw the trailer of this- I was watching I don’t even know what in theaters, and I thought to myself “Y’know, I’m not sure how this’ll turn out, but even if the story sucks I’ll watch it because it looks frickin’ gorgeous.” Now, i keep coming across videos like this one describing the visuals, and explaining just how they enhance the story, and the way the characters express themselves, and it just makes me so happy that this out-of-box art experiment ended up being such a masterpiece that the franchise will continue. Great video y’all, I had no idea that the depth of field was created via the doubling, and it totally explains how even the most innocuous of screencaps of this movie still maintain that comic-book-like effect even when a character doesn’t take up like half the screen. It’s great. Thank y’all for this!

This movie was literally one of my favourites if not my absolute favourite. Between the sound track, animation and style it was a masterpiece

What a beutiful video. Short but one of the most eye opening video essays i have ever watched. The break down of what makes comic book great. The masterfull way you quickly explain how they did their shading, lighting, and blur effects while explaining them all in a quick yet effective way. Absolutly masterpiece of a video.

They definitely did their best to take a comic book and translate it as truly as they could into a movie. It is genuinely impressive

My favorite thing about the ITSV universe, specifically the upcoming ATSV, is that the villain The Spot can only work in this particular universe. Based on the descriptions of how the villain's powers would function in the movie, his powers are too complex for any normal animated movie or live action. It's such a needless complication and yet I have faith that it will pay off to astronomical results.

To answer the question you had at the end. My favorite Spider-Man is Tobey Maguire. I know he is kind of a cliché pick and he isn't super quippy or what ever. But I grew up with him. He inspired me.

Best Spider-Man film in my opinion. And in top 15 animated films of the decade.

I´d argue that the direction helps this movie more than the style itself, if that makes any sense. I love the use of actual panels, speech bubbles, onomatopoeia and some of the slapstick, but honestly when I saw the movie for the first time 2 days ago the underlying CG animation was really apparent to me. There are gorgeous shots everywhere in this movie but I´d say there are probably just as many shots that are quite ugly with background characers or even main characters looking like they are out of Fortnite. This is even more apparent when looking at the moving images and seeing that the characters are clearly moving in a 3D space while the overall style of this movie is trying to be one of well, a 2D comic. I STILL think this movie is visually impressive, but I do think its silly to say traditional 2D drawings wouldnt have looked a lot better. Probably would have doubled the budget tho.

@@tr1ckus893 It's more because of saturation these days. But even then, there's always anime.

This video made me appreciate this movie to a different level. Definitely deserves more views

Literally why Spider-Man: Into The Spidervese is one of the most beautiful animated movies I’ve ever seen

While I like Spider-Verse's look and animation style, I would still prefer traditional CG animation. Or just traditional non-CG animation, like Japanese anime or the old Disney or DreamWorks feature films.

Do you have a favorite animated movie, or movie’s style?

But sadly, the product is headache-inducing, at least for me. The fluttering images produce something akin to a strobe effect. The misalignment resembles a migraine aura. And their use of reduced frame rate evokes a stuttering PC with an overworked video card. To my mind, this indicates that they’ve missed something in the translation. These comic effects work on the page by drawing your eye along the dramatic lines and whooshes and blurs. Your eye can linger on the page. It is encouraged, but not forced, to move on. When those same effects are put into animation, the result is a flickering frenzy that plays absolute havoc with perception. It was a bold experiment but the trailer left me physically discouraged from seeing the full movie.

@@Korgano I actually quite like the flashing lights and intense colors. While I do think the movie may need an epilepsy warning, I quite enjoy the colors being used.

@@midnightwalkers8077 i can see why some people might like that. I think I would like it if it stayed away from the “optical effects” and stuck with a smoother animation style.

Thanks for pointing out those details about the art style of Into the Spiderverse.... it's sooo freakin cool. I really never noticed those things before. I also went frame-by-frame just then and realized they animated on two's. Never realized that before....crazy. :)

Kin pin's design is so cool as he just straight uo block 80% of the screen into full blackness, sending pressure just with all the colourful background disappeared

Into The SpiderVerse is truly a masterpiece in my eyes. One of my favorite, if not my favorite animated films to date. And I'm not even a comic book or Marvel person. But watching this film from an artists perspective is truly incredible, it did what no other animated film had done. You can really feel the love, care and passion the animation team put into it. Amazing video, truly enjoyable to watch. Reminded me of how much I love this film.

Spider-Man noir is my favorite of the bunch, hands down. Honestly I’d be hyped for a film dedicated to each alt Spider-Man

This reminds of Guilty Gears transition from 2d to its iconic 2.5d graphics in XRD where Arcsystems basically animated everything frame by frame like 2d sprites with little to no keyframes. So every frame of an action is basically a photographed pose to give the illusion of 2d in a completely 3d game.

This is the most comprehensive summary I think I've ever heard. Thank you for this video coverage!! 💯

Really well crafted video. Makes me love this movie even more.

Wow your videos are incredibly high quality it's incredible!

I didn't know it was coming. hadn't seen any trailers on it. So imagine my surprise - seeing this for the first time as a finished product. the attention to detail... the various layers of storytelling. things like Miles running like his uncle the Prowler and not swinging as the typical Spiderman does. ART! Sony didn't need to do all these things - but they decided to. they could have gotten away with less... but they had something to add to the collection of art humanity has been building. I rewatch it every 6 months or so just to remind myself of what ART looks like... and to remind myself to do the best that I can... leave nothing in the tank.

intriguing and distinctive aesthetic

My favorite spider-man iteration is Toby Maguire's spider-man holding the green goblin's glider in no way home.

such a well-constructed video, nice work!

I'm so thankful for lord and miller pushing the boundaries of animation in film that had become so...samey. Certainly a pixar film a disney film and a dreamworks film all have their own look but they ultimately have very similar over all styles, but since Lego Movie and Into the Spider-verse studios have been more willing to experiment with the styles. I mean Disney is still doing it's own thing, but others.

Just thinking about how this amazing work of art is allowed to exist and reach its potential makes me so emotional. Like, to live in a world where the people who wanted to make it, who had this vision for it, could, when they might have been restricted or shut down, leaves me so hopeful for the future of cinema in a way i haven't felt in years. Great video

my favorite spiderman is spider-noir he's so much less generic and more serious yet still maintains humor through his contrast with others

there are so many details in this that i don't think i realized the first time i watched Spider-verse where i absolutely cannot unsee now, and i appreciate each and every one of them, from smear lines and frames instead of motion blur, to that misalignment idea in replacement of standard camera focus. they went all-out with it and it completely paid off

I noticed this the first time I watched up couldn’t put it into words any better than you did

amazing video! love how you kept it equal parts funny and informative :) great editing style as well
