![]() “Not only did his rig, his modeling, and his linework have to be on paper, but there were markings that he drew in the air as he rebuilt his wing,” said Lasker. The Vulture was fully rigged, inked with multiple layers of lines that were interpolated and then meshed with other materials and effects. And then they had to make him stand out in Gwen’s world amidst all the saturated blues, purples, and greens. The first challenge was figuring out the Da Vinci-style parchment for this crazy vulture creature. The Vulture was worlds apart from Spot, which was treated as a painting built up from nothing with spots that were animated and ink smeared in effects. And then we bring in a lot more of that wet look, more painterly at times, depending on her emotion.” The Vulture Invades the Guggenheim It’s not as washy, it’s not as wet it’s just a little bit cleaner. And then we mixed that in with renders of Gwen and drumming to create this hybrid look. It was actually one of the last sequences that we finished. “The opening sequence was very tricky ’cause we had to have it timed out to music with her drumming. And if you’re shooting it very flat, it lends itself well to being more graphic. And a lot of it comes down to the composition and the lenses. “A lot of the Gwen’s world frames looked almost like a flat painting,” Lasker said. This was achieved with a tool called Rebelle and new brush stroking systems. The idea was that it changes in every shot like a mood ring keyed to Gwen’s emotional state. However, the idea of it being a wet-on-wet watercolor world was original. The look of Gwen’s world was partly inspired by Robbi Rodriguez’s covers for Jason Latour’s comics, with their vertical striation and striping of paint. So all of it had to be developed on this film, and it’s a testament to the creativity and ingenuity of the group. “And we had to control dry brushes, wet brushes, control it in depth, making brushes move and repaint. “This movie was so heavily painterly and stylized,” returning VFX supervisor Michael Lasker told IndieWire. In addition, we’re introduced to two baddies: The Vulture, a bird villain (Jorma Taccone) from the Italian Renaissance who lands at the Guggenheim Museum in Earth-65, and Spot (Jason Schwartzman), the bizarre-looking nemesis of Miles, who’s all white with black spots that serve as inter-dimensional portals. Gwen Stacy (Hailee Steinfeld) in “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse” Courtesy of Sony Pictures He embodies the look of rock posters from the ’70s, with photocopied paper textures cut and pasted together and constantly moving at different frame rates. Plus, we get a glimpse of Earth 138B’s New London through Hobie Brown/Spider-Punk (Daniel Kaluuya).
