Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse Will be Dominated by Six Different Animation Styles
Writer and producer Phil Lordhas revealed just how far this ambition will stretchinSpider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, comparing the six different animation styles in the sequel with just the one inSpider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.
“The first film had one animation style that dominates the movie. This movie has six,” Lord revealed recently. “So we’re taking those tools, adding all the things we learned on The Mitchells Vs The Machines, and then growing them further to accommodate the ambition of this movie. Which is to wow you every time you enter a new environment, and also to ensure that the style of the movie reflect the story, and that the images are driven by feelings, as opposed to some egg-headed art project. Which it also is, by the way!”
