Spider man BTS is almost BETTER than the Original

Movies we all know them and we all love them But do we really know what happens and how they make these movies? Like i've been watching movies for so long, especially like the spider-man franchise and stuff like that And i've enjoyed these movies for years and years to come but the thing is I don't sometimes we don't know how they're made So today we're going to be looking at a video by insider on how no way home pulled off the spider-man bridge fight against dr octopus And we're gonna figure out how this went In the iconic bridge fight from spider-man no way home. Dr Octopus's tentacles were the work of the visual effects team But on set the car and these exploding water barrels were very real Even if we're going to replace all that and have digital versions of things if you can shoot something it's always better That's visual effects supervisor scott edelstein His team collaborated with special effects supervisor Dan suddick to find the right mix of practical and digital to create no way home's action-packed bridge fight See if i'm gonna be honest, I think they should have made this spider-man suit real too You know to keep it with the realism everything because when you look at this suit the iron spider suit He's wearing up close. You can really see how like fake And it's like the cgi was so heavy on this suit like there was no parts of it that were real And in my opinion, I think they should have did like they did. Um Iron man suits in the very beginning. They had like parts of it that were real and parts of it That they use cgi for and that's kind of what I think they should have did with this situation because it just looks super fake This way they have it. That's the only reason why I didn't like that Like when doc octopus first emerges with his mechanical arms To really sell the strength of these cgi arms dan devised a way to crush the cars Practically into what the crew called taco cars. I saw the previews. I thought wow, wouldn't it be great if we could just Pull down the center of the car very hard and just let the car fold up by itself First dan built a steel platform with a hole in the middle Then he placed the car on top of it and attached two cables to the bottom center of the car Pulling it through while it's split in half Shots like this one. Hello peter where doc off was simply suspended in the air were equally challenging Unlike in 2004 spider-man 2 alfred melina did not wear a pair of puppeteered claws on set While the actor now had more flexibility to move around digital domain would have to know how to place his arms in the shot Especially when they held him up like this The best visual. Yeah, I thought that was really cool how like he could like walk with the arms and everything like that But like looking at it behind the scenes like right here, you can kind of see like his uh, what's it called? It's just a bunch of blue screen in there holding him up with cables and stuff like that But I always thought it was cool has arms could like double his transportation for him. That was really cool Cool effects references depended on how high his body was above the ground which varied throughout Sometimes the crew could use cables to lift him up letting him move his real legs around more freely, but it wasn't very comfortable Other times he was strapped to a tuning fork where crew members could steer and turn him from behind As seen here when he pulled himself up from under the bridge when the arms brought him down to the ground They used a moving platform that could be lowered and operated like a techno crane This got even trickier for the vfx team as the sequence progressed and the character interacted more and more with his surroundings John watts the director really wants to have his movements make sense and have weight So you don't want him to feel light or any of the things that he's interacting with to feel light This meant establishing clear physics about what he could and couldn't do for example He always had at least two hands on the ground supporting him for balance even as he lifted two cars at once The way he handled objects also needed care Now see I like how they wanted to add a bunch of realism to this movie to make it Like this could actually happen if somebody had this technology And showing how he had to have two at the bottom to keep him having a steady base and showing the physics of him Throwing the objects of how heavy or how light the objects were. I really liked that. That was um, that's that's really cool Careful consideration. He steps forward and throws a car It's a transfer that weight and like another arm has to go land on the ground To hold him up as he's throwing the car forward the practical team also applied these rules to props used in the fight Like here when doc ock throws a gigantic pipe at spider-man and instead crushes a car Dan and lead visual effects supervisor kelly port wanted the pipe to fall like a baseball bat So it had to practically collapse at an angle rather than flat It basically is faster at the tip and slower at the handle to achieve this unique effect Dan used two cables to hold the concrete and steel pipe straight Each cable was attached to a pneumatic cylinder which released air pressure at different speeds We could force the tip of the pipe down into the car faster than the front of the pipe fall And then we'd pull the front of the pipe at a certain speed, but that only took them so far During an initial test the pipe crushed the top of the car, but not its side So the sides were actually weakened beforehand by cutting out the door frames Then the crew hid cables inside the car So when the pipe collapsed the cables brought the sides of the car down with it Now it would have been now see I wonder how expensive it is after all these tests They have to do with these cars and everything Like I get movies having a big budget, but i'd like to see how much it costs for like just the test and see like how much All in total it was that they actually used because I really do think that that would be a big expense, you know Too dangerous for tom holland and his doubles to actually dodge that pipe So for this shot the action elements in the frame were shot separately and combined in post-production In one take tom rolled over the hood of the car to make it look like he was dodging the pipe Then the crew shot the pipe rig on its own while replicating the speed and positioning of the camera as closely as possible We track the camera within all those environments and we do a lot of like Reprojecting so that we can bring it all into one camera Basically in the end changes in the edit meant digital domain had to make this a fully cg shot But many of the original movements from the camera and the actor are still there We do try even if we're gonna exaggerate it to use the base of what he's done and then you know embellish it Spider-man also has to rescue the assistant vice chancellor from her car as it teeters over the edge of the bridge The entire stunt was broken up into three parts The car going over the bridge the car crashing through the guardrail and the car dangling in the air this required Now see this is why these movies take so long to make Because they have to do just like this part was just the beginning of the movie and it took them Three separate shots to make which in my opinion maybe took over Like three hours most likely to get done I starting to see a little bit why movies take More than two years to get done They're building a whole new set While the main stretch of highway was on the ground This one was elevated 20 feet so the car could hang without hitting anything First the car was placed on a small track to move it forward Then it was guided by cables for the moment. It sputters out of control We wanted it to look a little more natural when they got hit And let it kind of swing into the railing as opposed to just follow this exact arc To make the car crash through the guardrail dan built a piece of the rail out of beaded foam He then painted it and plastered the edges before pre-breaking it into smaller pieces Finally, he put it back together so the car could smash through it We built 20 or 25 feet of breakaway because you figure the length of the car was 16 17 feet long The car was later placed on a gimbal in front of a blue screen So it would look like it was really teetering at a 90 degree angle over the edge The gimbal was safe enough for actress paula newsom to be inside the car so cameras could capture her terrified facial expressions Filming her upside down was particularly helpful for the vfx artists. You really get that Now that is really cool I like how it's almost like a roller coaster ride that lady looked like she was actually scared Because like it had her bent forward so I could see how what's it called? Now I see how they did it in the movies. It made a lot more sense. It makes a lot more sense now I like this. I'm really liking this behind the scenes of the movie because the spider-man franchise has been one of my favorites for a long time Dynamics with her hair and the movement of her clothes and all that and instead of looking out at spider-man She's actually looking at a tennis ball, which was then easily erased in post-production As spider-man tries to pull her car to safety doc ock throws another car at him which hits some barrels instead According to dan the director wanted it to be raining water So dan had to manipulate both the car and the barrels This required putting a 20-foot nitrogen cannon diagonally through the car That cannon was attached to a high pressure accumulator to launch it forward Dan also filled the water barrels with pyrotechnics linked to a timer We knew the speed of the car going into the barrels So we knew how many tenths of a second it would take for the car to hit all the barrels Once the car hit the first barrel each one blew up in order at the speed the car was coming at them The practical stunt looked great, but the trajectory was slightly off So using the original shot as reference scott actually replaced the car with a completely cg model We needed the car to start higher because doc was further down the road and he was up on his arms The car needed to kind of roll and was going towards spider-man Many of these fighting shots actually used digital doubles which worked out since the nanotech powered iron spider suit was created with cg You've outdone yourself peter But because spider-man removes his mask, they couldn't just do a full body swap Like the assistant vice chancellor on the gimbal they also needed to film tom hanging in the air The way he moves his body tilts his neck holds himself is all reminiscent of somebody actually hanging upside down But the constant movement of the action made it hard to accurately place the iconic costume So tom wore what's known as a fractal suit So yeah, this is really cool because I like how like the suit and I do like how the suit what's it called? It's still like a whole cgi part thing But like it's cool to see how he's outside the suit doing all the facial expressions all the work himself It's kind of cool to see it Like outside of what we see in the theaters and stuff like that Like the part where the car was hitting the barrel. I did not know that was cgi I thought there was just them actually flinging like a car with you know Some movie magic, but I guess not The patterns on the suit gave animators the easiest way to map the digital body onto the actor's body If his chest turns or moves or his arms are moving You can see those patterns moving easier than if he was just in like a plane suit for the tentacles Doc ox jacket had holes in the back of it These red tracking marks allowed vfx to accurately place the arms despite the constant moving camera and action You can locate where the arm is and really stick it to that little dot because if it's swimming around Then it looks like it's swimming around on his back After pulling the assistant vice chancellor's car up spidey uses his web blasters to pull the car door off Wait a second. Does he just call him spider? Car up spidey uses his I don't know. Maybe that was spidey, but it really sounds like she says spider I don't I don't know web blasters to pull the car door off The web was a fully cg creation But on set the special effects team needed to create enough force to take the door off by itself That first meant replacing its hinge pins with ones made out of balsa wood The door was then attached to a cable from the outside that was powered by a pneumatic piston The accumulator lets the air rush into the piston piston closes pulls the cable the door comes off Pre-destroying cars offset was also useful for the moment when the green goblin's pumpkin bomb explodes The cars were actually taken apart and then put back together before being brought to set allowing for these dramatic results And it was up to scott and his team to enhance all these crashes and explosions while populating the shot and digitally extending the bridge according to scott digital domain created 250 static cars parked on the bridge plus 1100 digital cars driving They're basically in a full room of like blue screen like this whole environment of new york is not real that is That is astounding That is crazy how they basically made up a whole world of cg and cgi Around the city in the distance those cars are all variations of just a handful of digital car models Meanwhile the cars that were closest to the camera needed to be digitally scanned They do a basic texture shoot of photography for like what the car looks like what the texture is When adding these digital cars in each car is then customized based on the action on screen to ensure continuity So the team had to keep track of everything from dirt stains to the exact position where a car was originally placed There's like a whole lot that goes into just tracking where everything lives So why even bother shooting time-consuming and complicated effects for real if so many of them are replaced digitally? It's all invaluable reference for some very unique ideas like how glass looks after a car gets crushed The way that the metal bends it's not always like super sharp A lot of times it's kind of softer curves the side windows Sometimes when it's getting crushed like that literally like explode into like a bajillion little tiny safety pieces And you never know what real elements can make their way into the final shot Now that I think about it. I wonder what cleanup looks like at the end of these sets Like I wonder what it like just looks like with all this glass and debris Is it like uh, what's it called a collective cleanup because like that sounds like a lot of work to do in my opinion We kept the water barrels exploding so in that particular shot All that water is real and we had to remove the practical car from inside of all that water and add our cg card Tom Holland is extraordinarily athletic and did a lot of his own stunts Whether we end up using the entire performance or not It's really good reference for us or we do use it and it's great to see his Physicality and how his body moves and what he's doing because a lot of his performance is coming from that now you die Well, they did a great job on these movies. I think that what's it called? Once we go further and further into the future They're gonna get better and better and people are just gonna start watching these movies more and more And they're gonna have more of the budget to do even bigger things So if we keep doing stuff like that, we're doing and having our technology advance. We're gonna be on the right path So I think that um, this is a really good video to watch Thank you guys for watching comment like and subscribe this is common nh and that's my opinion. What's yours?
