ART BREAK DOWN of SPIDER-MAN: Into the Spider-Verse (Part 1)

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is a modern masterpiece. In this first video of a series, I'm going to re-create my own 3D Spider-Man in this rich visual style. To begin, I will reverse-engineer the major elements so that you can re-create this effect at home, focusing specifically on the balance of 2D & 3D. Best movie of 2018. Massive props to Sony Animation.
Part 1: • ART BREAK DOWN of SPID...
Part 2: • ART BREAK DOWN of SPID...
Part 3: • ART BREAK DOWN of SPID...
Part 4: coming soon
Massive respect to Alberto Mielgo who, to me, is the artistic style that speaks loudest in every frame of this movie. Dripping in next-level world shattering aesthetics.

Part 2 is now up HERE: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hoC9e3qnrLlgr6M

After watching the movie, I was absolutely blown away by the art style. It’s something that I have never seen before. It has greatly inspired me in terms of animation and drawing. I seriously love this style.

[@denizcil8583]

Amazing. Just the video I was looking for. Clips of this movie makes my cry because I want to see this awesome pasterpiece art style more and I'm in love with it as a person does digital art as an hobby.

[@MANIAKRA]

Deniz Çil it’s out on Bluray March 19th! So not much longer to wait now! I’m definitely getting it on iTunes to frame by frame the entire thing. Thank you for the nice comment!

[@twifeedo]

Loved the deconstruction! I can't wait to see what part 2 will bring :) I'm impressed by the work that was put into this movie. Certainly it deserves to be watched more than one time.

[@MANIAKRA]

Thank you very much. I just got the art book last night AND OH MAN I am learning some new nuggets that I don't think anyone else has mentioned elsewhere or in media. VERY COOL STUFF. Part 2 will be good.

[@daxthedza]

I’ve been clamoring over the art style of this movie. This and rewatching Samurai Jack inspired me to get back into drawing. I want to try digital sculpting too. Great video and very well-explained. Looking forward to the rest of the series. Cool bonus that you’re half flip 🇸🇽✊🏼

[@thisisfyne]

7:47 Chromatic aberration doesn't fulfill its usual purpose in SpiderVerse though. It's a simulacra of misprinted comic book colours that acts as a sort of depth of field to help focus the eye on what matters in the shot.

[@MANIAKRA]

Very true. I made this video back when this info wasn't as readily available, but yes that is the true inspiration for using that technique! Very cool. I'm covering environments in Part 4.

[@SuperHutch7]

Wow another artist who uses CSP like myself. Plus a true understanding behind scripts before movies. Thought I was the only regular who did that def got my Sub! Got to see this movie, and DBS Broly

[@EnriqShockwave]

Duuude. Really awesome breakdown here and all very well put. Clicking Part 2 right now and am really looking forward to seeing what you make!

[@tenet2406]

my eyeballs were sweating. that's just it. sweating.

[@anarcorojo]

Pretty good video the only complaint that I have it's the deep compositing defenition that you gave, the render passes compositing it's pretty common, in fact, it's very difficult to compose without render passes. Deep Compositing is compositing with a very special kind of image that have 3d and layering information per pixel. Keep up with the good work.

[@MANIAKRA]

Very true, misuse of words there. Thanks very much~

[@integza]

Just found out your channel and I really appreciate your work! Subbed

[@MANIAKRA]

I'm honored, thank you very much :)

[@MarkArandjus]

Thanks for reminding me I haven't seen Paperman in a while, god the light is so gorgeous in that!

[@MANIAKRA]

It really is. I was late to the party, and passed on it many times because I was like oh whatever black and white animated thing... but man, it actually is a beautiful piece of work.

[@adamshalashaska5698]

incredible 2 sucked. Not even on the same level as Spider-verse

[@MANIAKRA]

Yeah I agree

[@daan3898]

The movie was epic, The entire breakdown seeing how much work was put into it is just crazy!

[@MANIAKRA]

Absolutely, they went to the extreme!

[@jadenyahomiee8432]

The only movie i've seen that even comes close to this type of animation is The Peanuts Movie. Both are AMAZING movies, btw.

[@MANIAKRA]

COOL yeah I haven't seen that one yet but you're right the trailer showed off similar ambition!

[@jadenyahomiee8432]

@@MANIAKRA It's a fun movie. You should watch it. Btw, I love how your character model for Miles looks so far. I can't wait for part 3.

[@MANIAKRA]

I just figured out a solution for the 2D line work! Check my twitter for screenshot. I have everything I need now to pull this off!

[@Hubert99999]

As an animation Nerd i just love how everybody only has good things to say about the movie! Even my cousin who likes film but not big on animation said it was his favorite spiderman film... even cinemasins if that says something

[@MANIAKRA]

SPIDER-VERSE 2 IS HERE! kzbin.info/www/bejne/lZK7iJ1ubql6ipo

[@pixelwolke7830]

About the whole tearing up thing I had the same experience watching avatar it's kinda weird to explain but it's like being over excited but for good reason either way I felt the same way watching this movie as well

[@AngryPeopleStudios]

Sick dude! Keep it up! I watched both videos and I can't wait for the 3rd one

[@MANIAKRA]

Thanks mate!

[@AngryPeopleStudios]

@@MANIAKRA I'm not much of a 3D animator (I can't stand working in Maya), but Spider-Verse seriously got me itching to animate. It's really cool to see your analysis of how it was made and it's giving me a much better appreciation for film I already appreciated the heck out off

[@RinatAbdrashitov]

Great video!

[@mikebennewitz]

Have you looked into Blender 2.8 for its Grease Pencil feature for 3D linework? It’s pretty awesome and free. It also has a line renderer called Freestyle which is also worth looking at.

[@MANIAKRA]

Yes, I have! This is actually how I am tackling the linework which I will show in Part 3 of the series. I didn't render inside Blender though since I will be using Arnold which is what Spiderverse also used to render. Thanks for the suggestion though I appreciate it :)

[@mikebennewitz]

Awesome. I can't wait to see it. I like your analysis. I've also been nuts for this movie's look. @@MANIAKRA

[@The_Foreman]

I found a video at one point where someone from the team went into how things like the face lines were added. They created a library of "this is how the line should look while the face is in this position" and let an algorithm try to guess for a bunch of frames, they would then go through and make changes and then add the changes to the library. They also mentioned paper man as heavy inspiration on how to do things if I remember right.

[@anzatzi]

Great series! Impressive 3d work, editing and narration

[@MANIAKRA]

Thank you so much :)

[@mirkocianferoni4648]

You just changed my life, thank you for sharing your hard work.

[@mrmukundamadhabsharma848]

blender guys have it easy, toon shaders , grease pencils, and freestyle pass, thats it

[@zaks7]

Waiting for part 2, thank you!!

[@MANIAKRA]

ツAhmed uploading today :)

[@jamesmcelroy414]

Your videos are awesome man keep doing it

[@MANIAKRA]

Thank you so much. I will! It's my life.

[@MegaAmir46]

Amazing breakdown and channel! Love this was gonna grab the art book today for this movie for animation study, Alberto Mielgo really took this film in a crazy direction ...can't wait to see your character !

[@MANIAKRA]

Wow thank you for the nice comment. YES the artbook is good, it has some nuggets of information not found elsewhere as well as images not seen online. I have a segment in the next video dedicated to Alberto Mielgo. A week or so.

[@MegaAmir46]

@@MANIAKRA aha,can't wait. Thank you

[@RicsKeldinTheMaskedWarrior]

Jhon kars is a legend!

[@Hex_Hub_Plus]

The thing is... I love this movie... I watched this movie more than 8 or 10 times. I love it so much. I loved it so much that I had to do research on what technology they used, the behind the scenes, and so much more. I wanted to animate my own stuff by using same or similar tactics that the people used to make the Spiderverse movies. I will keep looking at this movie for inspiration, research, and knowledge. But I must know... If you know... Can you at least give me the name of the software the spectacular team used to create Spider-Man Into The Spiderverse movie!? And thank you for taking the time do analyze this movie!

[@MANIAKRA]

Absolutely, if you watch Part 3 you can see all the software tools they used. Combination of standard 3D programs like Maya, Zbrush, Houdini, Katana.

[@quintessential8361]

You should watch “klaus” Netflix original movie

[@charade8065]

U should watch Dumbland by David Lynch

[@hoseinbebany]

Video starts at 1:50

[@ThadeousM]

Tis the season bois!

[@MANIAKRA]

Yes it is! I should go see it opening night

[@ThadeousM]

If you're looking to make more content on it, after a few watches lemme know, I'd love to help🤝🏾

[@Hankyuo]

I should've expected that after reading your tweet from 3 days ago ^^ I didn't want to spoil myself the movie cause i still wanna watch it so I skipped to 5:00 but the video was super nice still, just from these few shots i'm seeing this movie is blowing my mind, it sounds impossible that they handled making every single frame look like a beautifully composed finished painting on an almost 2h movie but that's what it seems to be NEED TO WAAAAATCHHHH

[@MANIAKRA]

Haha YES you need to see. No joke its the best thing that's happened to animation for me in 10 years.

[@raiquiaarbiter7974]

Cool!

[@rylla9064]

and 2:28

[@tjmixmasta]

Subbed and Belled. Love your analysis here!!

[@jonahrausch7950]

"better than incredicles 2" O O F not saying much

[@MANIAKRA]

Lol yeah maybe that’s an understatement. I really didn’t like incredibles 2 but I loved the first one.

[@jonahrausch7950]

MANIAKRA Yea, I think everyone was blown away by the first, that the sequel just dropped the ball. Besides that, I really enjoy your channel! I’m studying 2D animation in school right now, but this has really got me interested in game/3D animation. I’m looking forward to see more videos from you

[@e.t.566]

What about talltale games?? Dont they have the same art style?

[@rowanw5912]

two words for you, Grease Pencil

[@swedishcomedian7090]

Live action movie goes then to MI Fallout

[@itskrith]

GWEN HAD BALLET SHOES ON? HOW DID I NOT NOTICE 😳

[@rylla9064]

2:04 what would u call this transition

[@DevJeremi]

just use blender 2.8 ;)

[@thespookylocker]

Incredibles 2 was garbage compared to spider verse

[@MANIAKRA]

Yeah, Incredibles 2 def didn't age well for me. The more I think back, the weaker it gets. I'm a big fan of the first Incredibles though.

[@WickedV3ng3nc3]

Alita is pretty dope too.

[@LorynChen]

So cool man. Subbed!

[@austinrogers4486]

Am I over simplifying or could it be said that they rotoscoped over cgi

[@MANIAKRA]

I can see how you could guess that! But no, they had a linework rig attached to the 3D models. I'll be explaining it in part 3. The animators do film live action of themselves for reference though.
