Steve Ramsden with DIY Moviemaking here, and this week I’m going to show you how to swing on a web like Spider-Man!
Today’s video is sponsored by our friends at Production Crate, a fantastic all-in-one assets hub for your filmmaking.
Spider-Man is always fun, and as it’s been a while since my last “Superhero” video I thought it was time to have a go at swinging on a web like Peter Parker in No Way Home. Today I’m going to show you how you can make your own simple spider-man web swinging VFX shot using nothing except Adobe After Effects. I’m always trying to do a lot with a little, and make great effects shots on a budget, and if you want to see lots more fun DIY Moviemaking tips and tricks, then hit that subscribe button.
So I deliberately went out and filmed this effect totally solo to prove you can do all of this on your own. As a quick disclaimer though, in my opinion this method is always going to look pretty cartoony by its very nature, so just bear this in mind if you’re going to attempt it!
The first thing I was looking for was something the web could swing from, and I used this telegraph pole in a quiet location, but you could use the corner of a building or anything else convenient. Now you really only need to film one shot for this effect. This is a wide shot with the object you’re going to be swinging from right in the middle, and I would suggest that you deliberately keep your phone or camera quite far off while filming this, so that you won’t have many perspective problems when coming to do the edit. So my shot has the pole in the middle of the frame and enough room on both sides to film me firing the web and starting to swing from one side, and then - because I figure I’m just a ‘trainee’ Spider-Man - it goes wrong and detaches and then I fall to the ground on the other side. For this shot I set the camera rolling, ran over to one side of the pole and acted the first half of the shot - firing the web at the top of the pole and jumping as if I was being pulled into the air by the web. Then I quickly moved to the other side of the pole, and then jumped and landed on the ground as if I had fallen off the web. While you’re rolling, it’s also a good idea to get a few seconds of what’s called a ‘clean plate’ meaning the same shot but without you in it at all. This can come in handy later on. And that’s all you really need to film.
So first I opened the master shot in a new composition inside After Effects. I duplicated it and named one ‘start’ and one ‘end’. I cut down the ’start’ clip to end at the moment when I am jumping and I am in a good position in the air. Then I did the same with the ‘end’ clip and cut off everything except me landing. So now we have a start and an end, and we need to create the part where I am swinging in the air to hide the join. So to begin building this, I duplicated the ‘start’ layer agin and renamed it ‘figure freeze frame’. I trimmed it down to that single frame where I am in the middle of my jump, and the right clicked on it, went to Time, and Freeze Frame. Now this layer is frozen, and next you can use the Pen Tool to draw a mask around your figure, and you can soften the mask edge a little bit if you want using Mask Feather. Once this is done, now we are going to change its movement using keyframes on the Position and Rotation controls to make it look like it is being pulled by the web.
For the spider web I headed over to our sponsor Production Crate where they have a ton of really fun Spider-Man-style web elements, already created from every possible angle. I shuffled the Position controls until the web was over the top of the pole and set it to rotate during the swing. Now I could parent the figure layer to the web layer, and this means that wherever the web moves, the figure will now move too. So now you can keyframe the rotation of the web so that the figure ends up on the other side, around the point where the figure will land and turn on the ‘motion blur’ toggle to on the web and the figure layers make the quick movements look more natural.
Another trick is to animate this freeze frame figure with the Puppet Pin tool. This lets you click on various points and then animate them over time, just like a puppet. Finally to make the shot more interesting I precomposed everything into a new composition and used the Position and Scale keyframes to zoom in and add a move which follows the action.

Very creative, and well executed! I chuckle every time I hear Spider-Steve say "I'll be there in a minute" as you run off camera. Nice use of both part of the actual figure footage and the puppet tool.
the effect is really cool, and quite easy, but the animation really need some work... Edit: Guys, stop eating me, i understand he made it for education and not a real movie, i'm just pointing out something i found weird

He also did say it was a cartoony effect so it’s what he was going for
I love this! The story, the execution, I love that you embraced the cartoon-ness of spiderman, a thing that I would suggest is maybe to make the web in the wide shot a bit less visible since if it was really there you wouldn't be able to see it that well, that's just a small thing though, the tutorial was awesome! Also, a sponsor from production crate! They're great!
Hi Steve, do you think you could do an ant-man shrinking / growing effect tutorial?
The VFX the world needed! Nice work thank you 🙏🏾!!

Great work and great video! the main reason it seems cartoony is because of the acceleration, specifically the jump and the landing being really fast, but slow during the swing and practical clips. you can only have the freeze-framed figure rise as fast as you actually jumped, otherwise the physics seem broken. maybe a stunt trampoline would help you get some more practical vertical movement.

Yeah, I think getting the physics looking spot-on is the hardest thing with this technique 👍
Nice job as always

Great video. I also really like how you make the shout out to the sponsor actually relevant to the video. You show how it can make it easier to finish a shot which is better than many other creators. I wish Production Crate had a bleeding fabric effect, that would be so cool

I didn't like the jump bit(it lacks some weight and force), but the swing part works and looks convincing enough.

Then make yourself fall a bit before the swing, it will add some gravity

Hi Steve, could kindly make a tutorial on a joint back and forth workflow that between premiere and aftereffects in case one has to use both software on a single project?
Nice

Yaaaay
There is no problem in post production, the pull of the web was missing so it looked artificial, try this with web pull(like u r pulling the web while jumping) it would give u the perfect swing
Make a video on how to make a suit up video like iron man

I'm sure that single swing got him there faster somehow
Way too much motion blur, makes the swing part pop out too much to bring unwanted attention to the manipulated part of the image.
