SPIDER-VERSE: What Makes Animation Feel Human?

So happy to finally be back! After graduating 3 weeks ago, I'm ready to spend my gap year working on several huge new videos, from an analysis of Disney theme park techniques in Zelda: Breath of the Wild to finishing my short film, Paradoxical. Who's your favorite Spider-Verse, uh, Spider-Person? Lemme know below. If you liked the video, consider sharing with somebody who might also enjoy it!

Dude I legit thought you were older than me and were mostly through college already and was like “oh neat, he graduated college, good for him” and then I saw gap year and had to scroll through your Twitter to see if you mentioned that you’d just graduated high school this messed me up Buddy where did you find the time to make all these actually amazing videos in high school, I’m even more blown away now than I was before, even in college I don’t have the time to make any videos I’d be proud of, lol Also Spider-Noir was the BEST ONE, all of them were amazing though, they could all easily be my favorite depending on the day. I have a real soft spot for Noir though.

The movie improved Miles as a character and inproved his origin story. Along with giving him a different personality. In the comics he was just black Peter Parker. Im glad they improved his character along with his uncle, his uncle was straight up hateful and you feel nothing when he dies in the comics.

[@ookazi1000]

Someone, I can't remember who, did a video explaining why spiderverse Miles is so different from comic Miles, and it's basically because Tom Holland's Peter Parker was designed using basically all of Miles surface level character traits , so rather than be accused of riffing off of Holland's performance and the MCU's interpretation (despite the fact that that Peter Parker was riffing off of comic Miles (Nothing wrong with that, you mind)), the Spiderverse team dipped down and reworked miles's character from scratch. If only I could remember which spiderverse video it was.

I love the main three characters for different reasons. Gwen's combat and overall presentation was great, her back story was short but impactful, and I want to see more of her. Peter B. Parker made me cry for the first time in years and he embodied the fears I have as a young adult starting my life: "How do I know I won't mess it up again." And Miles was also incredibly relatable, feeling like there was so much expected of him, what if what made him happy meant he didn't live up to the "Great expectations." The way he mumbled lyrics he didn't know was perfect, the expressions of him handling emotions were tough to watch, and the barrage of family member quotes in his head as he made the leap was... well I don't know how to phrase it right, but I've been there (in my own small, non-spiderman way).

[@adhdhikaru]

I absolutely love the animation of spider verse for just more than the reasons you mentioned, like: - the differing art styles between the different spider... people? Peni and porker have cel shading, noir consistently has dotted screentones for his shading and usually relies on highlights rather than shadows to define his shape (adding to the overall moodiness of his character design), etc. - the chromatic aberration, especially when playing with camera focus and how it differs in color for the characters (ex. Miles has a green and magenta offset, while the og Peter Parker has the classic red and blue) And so much more that I didn’t mention! All of the tiny details that went into this movie’s visuals are insane! Also, the sound design. Ohhhh that sweet sound design just tied it all together.

[@Howardtheone]

So about that green and magenta offset detail...

[@sheldonalberto1438]

If this movie is Sony's apology for the Emoji Movie, then I accept.

[@kin2naruto]

I think the Emoji Movie was practice. Every scene looked like the practice animations I was assigned in college (Computer Animation Major). The characters were even the simple, rounded shapes that beginners are encouraged to start with. The plot was nothing more than a series of sponsored ads with a bare minimum of "non-ad" footage. They released a full movie of practice animation and... got paid for it!

Great video, but just a small note: every movie production style animation will have their animators act out their scenes and use it as reference for the scenes they work on, it's not exclusive to Spider-Verse. We did it a lot in school for projects when we were doing action shots or lip-syncs, or even simpler scenes.

i cant imagine picking a favorite character other than Miles. He is the heart and soul of the movie and everything about him is so real. His moment of triumph in the leap of faith gives me goosebumps just thinking about it.

[@crow_music]

I just realized, when Miles gets spider sense together with Spiderman, his background is pink and green, while Spidermans background is blue and red. As Miles understands that they are both getting the same sensation, his background also turns red and blue! I have no idea if that was intended or not, but it sure is clever

I've seen a lot f the concept art for the different rooms and settings for the movie and you can feel the love and care that went into making them feel lived in. The opening scene really gets me because you can see all the things Miles is passionate about, but you can also so that his family supports him in pursuing those passions (i.e. the easel and high-quality markers) and that they love him so much - idk I tear up just thinking about it x')

AMAZING analysis of an AMAZING movie..... Great job yet again, Houston! 👏🏼 Your content gets better and better! Peter B. Parker is the most interesting character in this movie for me. The worn, world-weary depiction felt fresh and surprising as an iteration we had yet to see of this particular character. That it took a 13-year old kid to help him rediscover his purpose and direction was a nice dissection of how the road of life curiously converges us with the right people along our journey even if they often come packaged in unexpected ways. 😇 Can you imagine the pressure on this team for the sequel though?!?!? 😬😓

[@swizzy8603]

What I love about this movie is he is going through real things that a kid going through (other than the spidy stuff) his uncle dies, he is attending a school. It really makes you feel like he is a real peron

[@ey8648]

What was part of the success of the movie is how it had enough eye candy and relatability to appease regular fans, but diehard nerds also got a treat since, with a low budget, the producers actually had to make a compelling plot and innovate with the movie.

[@filmaidan6490]

Animation isn't a genre. It's a way of telling a story.

[@vinvyl957]

Yeah, the western industry should adapt the concept of not all animation films not being targeted towards kids, like this is an EXTREMELY common example but the Japanese animation industry is an example of that, like, literally the perfect blue which is a animation film is clearly not targeted towards kids but yet it’s such a beautiful and psychological thrilling movie. I hope in beyond the spider verse it gets more darker atleast

[@juanimation_]

Animation is done literally acting in front of a camera for reference. Gestures and everything that felt human was recorded and used a reference. We as animators create the performance with just a few pointers, so we are semi- actors at the same time.

[@HiImAiden]

I watched every ad all the way through. Because you 100% deserve it Houston. 11/10 video. Also my favourite Spider Person is Spiderman Noir. Easy.

[@thatrandomimperial3357]

My favorite part of the entire movie was when he became Spider-Man, or realized that being Spider-man is a leap of faith. Before he jumped, you could feel the pressure, as the size of the city could really be seen. And when the glass broke as he jumped, it practically told you what he was feeling. He was scared, and afraid. But he took the leap of faith, and became, Spider-man. If you ask me it is the greatest animated scene ever thought of.

[@TetrologyGamingBattlefield]

You're making me want to watch this for a 6th time, just at the beginning. God i love this movie.

[@tropicalhorizongaming5459]

[@hollyteti519]

Also my personal favorite spider person has gotta be Gwen. Ballerina AND percussionist? No competition. She’s the best

[@ytsejam58]

I don't know this for sure but I feel like Edgar Wright was a huge inspiration too. Not only the "From Dusk Till Shaun" Poster but also there are many many shots that feel straight out of a Wright film. The camera following the door closing from the nurses office, the match cut between the picture of The guard to the actual guard martching down the hallway.

[@xXsabXx2027]

i’d like to input something i loved that this video kinda brought out- the voice acting. To me, this movie made every character feel so real using the voice actors. Every character felt like they were talking to each other rather than a script. The voice acting was so smooth and non robotic/cliche-it put you right in the movie with every character. I don’t know how they managed to do such a great job with that. I love this movie with a burning passion and have cried solely over how amazing and beautiful it is💕💕💕💕

[@cortez4247]

My favorit spider-person is Miles, mostly because of the near to the end scene where he jumps of the building is just amazing. The music is perfect, the animation is perfect and i have seen the movie 5 time but i've seen that scene in particular 10 or more times it's just that good and it showed me who Miles really is.

You forgot to say that these movie's animation, art-style and storytelling is so brilliant that, in the scene Miles and Peter are getting the CPU from Alchemax to make a Goober, Miles animation was at 24fps while Peter's was at 60, and at the end, when Miles finally has his "leap of faith", his animation is at 60fps. That's just to show how he was still learning how to be a spiderman vs when he actually is spiderman

[@geckozero0]

[@nabilahsafira5429]

The animation felt like a combination of 3D, 2D, line art (is that even a term), and clay animation from the way the characters and scene moves. That's why this movie is my favorite in term of the liveliness of it. I love clay art, like Coraline, 3D not so much unless the story draws me in (Toy Story, Tangled), 2D will always be my first pick, but this movie is really awesome in that it's mostly 3D but sometimes they move like the clay art, and when 2D kicks into their mannerism, makes it so much better than it should be.

[@packman2321]

Honestly I really like your notion of Animated realism. I'm coming off a kick from Across the Spider-verse and a deep disagreement with the line of thought that goes 'The characters should have switched into live action within a live action universe' (not a critique I've seen much but enough to be annoying) and I think this sums it up. At core those sorts of critiques assume that live action is somehow 'more real' than animation and that animation is just layer placed over a hypothetical live action film, when it isn't practical to make the work with practical effects. So the tendency to privilege live action is maintained. Following this people tend to ignore the ways animation can construct realisms to be more real in many ways than live action (intensifying emotions, matching subjective character experience and distorting space more easily) and ignore the ways in which live action isn't reality but just another form of media realism (given its features of focus, shot framing, etc which don't apply in real life but are unavoidable in cinematography).

And I definitely agree about even the minor characters felt like they had story to them. The teacher that didnt put up with Miles' Bs. The coach who had Spider-man Christmas Album on his computer, difference between old school and prep school kids, and Miles' roommate who I dont think even spoke a line of dialogue.
