Into The Spider-Verse's Stunning Aesthetic

Although they have a casual-cool vibe to them, the visuals of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse didn't come together out of nowhere. In fact, it took the filmmakers years to nail down the aesthetic they were going for, and they didn't start out looking as good as they did in the movie's final cut.

When asked by a fan to go in-depth about the visual details, Ramsey tweeted that the aesthetic was only perfected after a long period of trial and error — and a willingness to feel totally silly. "A couple years of constant experimentation and being willing to look ridiculous," said Ramsey of the process he and his fellow creatives took to achieve the visual style. "We had a huge set of creative asks that [Sony Imageworks] was able to pull off with style."

Lord also shared his insight about what it took to craft Into the Spider-Verse's captivating visuals, admitting that it was an undertaking that came with a pretty big learning curve. He tweeted, "It was a long process but from Alberto Mielgo's [one of the visual consultants] first images to all the comics reference[s], we knew there was something there. But, like, no one had any idea how to make the actual *movie.* It took another couple of years to figure that out."

We feel confident speaking for fans of the film when we say that even though it took a long while to get the look just right, we're glad the team took their time. Here's hoping that the upcoming Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse sequel is just as much of a visual treat.
