Spider-man 2's behind-the-scenes production

Creation background

Spider-Man, which was released in the summer of 2002, grossed $820 million worldwide, making it the fifth heavyweight "bomb" in American film history. Spider-Man is adapted from the comic book Spider-Man, which was drawn by Steve Dick, compiled by Stan Lee and published in Marvel Comic Magazine at 1962. Since the publication of this issue of the magazine, there has been a Spider-Man craze all over the world, and Spider-Man has thus become the most enduring superhero in history.

The sequel to Spider-Man is imperative, and Sam Raimi deeply feels the responsibility of continuing the enthusiasm of diehard fans. Marvel comic artists constantly create wonderful storylines, so it is not difficult to make a choice to appear on the screen. If the first Spider-Man is based on the principle of loyalty to the original, then in the sequel, innovation is the most important issue for the creator.

In addition, producer avi arad hopes that the original cast can cooperate again in the sequel, not just Tobey Vincent Maguire.

The sky in new york

The film started shooting in new york on April 12, 2003, and was filmed in Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens for nearly three weeks. There are more real buildings and streets in this movie. With the development of technology, visual designers and graphic designers can better combine real architecture with CG architecture.

Even though he was filming in new york City, Remy was still not satisfied with the status quo. He hopes that he can get something different while showing the urban landscape of new york. Neil Spisak Inca Ruins, an art designer, re-modulated a tone at Remy's request, rendering the whole city, so that new york is no longer the actual new york, and certainly not the imaginary world. Spisak condensed the overall feeling of new york. When watching movies, the audience will feel that this should be the world in which Spider-Man lives.

In the first Spider-Man, the rapid jump between tall buildings in new york is one of the most thrilling scenes. In the sequel, the crew used the "Spydercam" camera device to the maximum extent. They hung a cable from the top of a high-rise building, fixed a special camera on the cable, and controlled the camera's dive and rapid rise through the remote control, thus perfectly capturing the thrilling picture of Spider-Man's agile bounce in the air.

Artificial wharf

After filming in new york, the crew returned to Sony's studio in Los Angeles to shoot. The largest project is the dock laboratory in doctor octopus, which took technicians 15 weeks to build. The space of this set is about 60 feet wide, 120 feet long and 40 feet high. A large water tank is used as the basic building, and later it will be decorated with CG, miniature technology and other film technologies. When the film enters the post-production, the background of new york will be added to the dock, and in order to make the dock reflect a more realistic effect, a wave maker is hidden at the bottom of the sink.

Mechanical antenna

Alfred molina not only plays doctor octopus well, but also learns to live in harmony with four lifeless tentacles. Doctor octopus's tentacles are delicate and meticulous, but it also means that Maurines has to adjust all her movements and postures like doctor octopus. Maurines, Remy, the puppet operator and the designer of Edge FX rehearsed for several months, and finally worked out the complex motion trajectory of the mechanical antenna.

Doctor octopus's tentacles weigh between 75 pounds and 100 pounds, depending on the plot requirements. These tentacles are articulated and can reach 13 feet when fully extended. Each antenna consists of 76 parts. The main connectors of the antenna are all made by hand and need to be painted by hand. If all the antennas are connected end to end, it will be more than 20 stories high.
