Visual Effects Society Screening Series: Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse

Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. Sony Pictures, 2018. Film Still.

This Fall, join us for selections from the Visual Effects Society’s Top 70 Most Influential Visual Effects Films of All Time.

Join Dr. Alla Gadassik, Dr. Jordan Gowanlock and the Visual Effects Society for a screening series dedicated to visual and special effects.

Every other Wednesday this Fall, we select a film from the Visual Effects Society’s Top 70 Most Influential Visual Effects Films of All Time. Each screening is introduced by a member of the VES and is followed by audience discussion. Guests have so far have included VFX supervisors, animators, and one Oscar winner!

Locally produced at Sony Pictures Animation, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse offers a level of aesthetic originality rarely (if ever) seen in big-budget 3D animated features. Animating sequences “on twos,” using halftone dots, and deliberately misaligning color layers all help create the sensation of a kinetic, immersive comic book. Come enjoy some free snacks and tide yourself over until Spider-Man: Beyond the Spider-Verse comes out in 2027.

This screening will include a reception with refreshments.
