Spiderman 3 is the source of…. A Lot of heated debate - for a lot of different reasons - But one thing about the film that you do not see enough discussion about, is its outstanding VFX - And most importantly: Sandman’s outstanding visual effects.

Because, at the time, this guy was the first of his kind requiring 3 years of development and a bunch of entirely new software to create - And, so, how on Earth does he still hold up almost flawlessly?

Because clearly he had all the usual stuff that you expect from a high budget film - great lighting, realistic effects, solid animation- you can tell there's a lot of time, money and talent behind him - but lots of films also have this and they still churn out pretty mid quality CGI…

So what gave him that extra level of quality that film’s these days seem to be lacking?

And how did the revolutionary actions taken to create him in Spiderman 3 radiate out across the years and change things for the exact same character’s appearance in 14 years later in 2021’s Spiderman No Way Home.

So get your sandals on, as we explore Sandman’ VFX.
