Spiderverse?

[Skitz Blast]

Ok now ik alot of us arent professional (but skilled) animators especially me!

But does anyone know what type of style spoderman into the spiderverse is?

Ive read that it's a style where key frames are put in things like linear, instant, etc, but I also saw another that said 12fps?!?!

I'm confused, any info anyone got that could help me figure this out??

It’s not stepped, a guy said that the animation was made in twos, I’ll have to read back the animation survival kit book but that’s the term used for it.

Ah that guy! Gosh I totally forgot about him, he’s a very good teacher on subject of animation.

it is on 2s, alil bit like stop motion, but not just 12 fps. the camera still moves at 24 fps.

in terms of doing that in sfm, unfortunately sfm doesn't resample the animation data in this way when you time scale animation down and up again. it interpolates. if not, that'd be the quickest way todo it. so...

you have to do the 2 step manually. i dunno for sure how it's done in the graph editor. in the motion editor you just scratch a 2 frame selection and apply playhead across the timeline. that makes it 2 stepped. the whole thing could and maybe should potentially be done using a script that creates the duplicate frame animation samples like that. so far no script exists tho. i'm not into digging in the interace to figure that out. mmh

Recently found him by accident while listening to the OST from Spiderman: Into The Spiderverse. He shows some things that were for a fact what the creators had done. And to clear a couple of things up.

1) There are a few segments in the animation that were a lot less dynamic and more in style with what animators like Funke use ( https://youtu.be/YmhIUf-JYyY?list=LL6F3b69DSS5lioQrg_qdABQ just a bit of information in case you need to see a reference as well as have a go over of animation styles and the GDC link as well). In other words, the frames are not consistent at moments that should be a lot closer to slower, touching moments for the character, kind of how when we read in a comic book, the slower moments with some drama or explication are read in a slower manner. As for the action moments, they are a lot faster and more dynamic, take in the cartoony animations we usually try teaching people here in SFM. The point is not a consistent technique is used in the movie. It changes. The dynamic animation is representative of how we flip through a comicbook and look through each panel in anticipation and experience of fast action. This is the same case with the action moments. This is why certain moments will have higher FPS, because they need it.

2) Watch the video I shared in the previous comment to get more informaiton about what exactly the creators used. My 1) was based partially on the video and also from personal experience with reading manga and some comics.
