Watch a Cool Early Storyboard Animatic Created for SPIDER-MAN: INTO THE SPIDER-VERSE
It was a long road to get Spider-Man: Into The Spider-Verse made. It takes a long time to make any animated film. There’s a lot of work that goes into it, and it all starts with a script followed by lots and lots of character design and pre-visual art and storyboards.
Storyboard artist Alberto Mielgo was hired very early on in development to do some storyboards and animatics for an animation test that he directed. This is what led to the incredible visual style we ended up seeing in the final version of the film.
You’ll see a lot of familiar shots in this animation test that ended up being used in the film, which I thought was pretty cool.
The artist included the following comments with the video he posted:
My main intention was to explore the language of comics and cinema and merge them together. We finished only 4 of this shots. And everyone ended up pretty exhausted!!!
The shots that we produced with an incredible technical team were some of the most amazing thing Ive seen, and Im extremely proud of them and the team involved. With those shots we open a door to a pipeline and possibilities and help to estimate the overall film.
I hope Sony will allow me to share the finished shots some time in the future .
Im really happy to see that most of my shots on this early boards made it to the final film. Again I would like to congratulate the whole team that finished the final film for preserving the compositions and the original intention of these shots. It shows that everyone felt inspired and that they really cared for this particular vision.
As you can see the 3 versions are very different in tone. It was early and I was not too sure yet what would be the final mood of this film yet.
Check out the video and let us know what you think!
