This is the shot and the reference I used for the shot I animated from the new #SpiderVerse trailer.
If you've ever heard me speak about acting for animation, you've heard me say, "USE REFERENCE AS REFERENCE".
Here are a couple shots I animated of George and Gwen hugging. These were interesting cause they’re in a tight embrace, but emotionally so far apart. I wanted to slowly let them warm into the hug before that connection is interrupted again by George’s job #AcrossTheSpiderVerse
When we were developing the characters, I really wanted to help develop Miles 42, or Wiles as we called him. It was an exciting acting challenge to animate the same character with 2 extremely different personalities, so I leaned heavily on my reference.
