Narrator: "Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse"

It's no ordinary Spider-Man movie either.

different universes into a seamless story,

and it features an innovative, eye-grabbing animation style.

a style we have never really seen before,

that puts "Spider-Verse" in a category all its own.

The film had 177 animators on staff at one point.

More than twice the typical animated film.

It took one week to animate just one second of footage.

It usually takes a week for four seconds.

to get just 10 seconds they were happy with.

Narrator: And the total shot count on "Spider-Verse"

is two to three times higher than other animated films.

For "Spider-Verse," instead of making the animation

photo-realistic, the creators wanted the movie

to stand out on its own as something new for viewers

while at the same time sticking as much as they could

As Head of Character Animation Josh Beveridge put it,

"Don't emulate reality, and don't make it a cartoon."

One of the most noticeable differences involves frame rate.

Animated films are typically 24 frames per second,

and creating a different image for each frame

"Spider-Verse" broke the mold and animated

meaning they kept some of the images on screen

for two frames, which makes the animation feel,

Like here, when Prowler is chasing Miles through the alley.

You can see examples of animating on twos

The "Spider-Verse" animators alternated between

on twos and on ones depending on the nature of the scene.

They could make Miles seem fast or skilled in some shots,

on ones, and struggle in others, on twos.

When they're swinging through the forest,

while Peter B. Parker is on ones because he's more skilled.

This subtly helped illustrate how Miles was slowly

becoming more comfortable with his powers.

Each character's detailed animation style

helped to bring out his or her personality.

to soften a movement and make it seem more real.

Instead, they used an old-school technique called a smear.

and you can see multiple hands and drum sticks.

And here, when Miles has his cape ripped off his back.

Peter B Parker: Spider-Man doesn't wear a cape.

Narrator: You can see multiple arms in some frames.

Here's an example of one of the first cartoons

called "The Dover Boys at Pimento University."

So those are some of the things they borrowed

Some things they borrowed from comic books,

Basically, the entire movie is a comic book that moves.

Co-director Phil Lord said, "If you freeze

when hand-drawn still images pop up in the shots

through the streets of New York and he leaps off a taxi.

And they layered 2D ink lines on top of the 3D art

to give the characters more of a hand-drawn look.

If you look at a comic book, you may have noticed
