Spider-Man 4

Pierce and I finally completed post-production (no, really!) of Pierce's latest stop-motion short: Spider-Man 4. As usual, Pierce has huge ambitions for it but I fear the completed project may never see the light of day given the magnitude of what Pierce envisions. Nevertheless, here's the first sequence of Spider-Man 4. Click on the image below to see the movie. 

Pierce conceived the story-board and shot all the stop-motion himself. He shot his Spider-Man Lego against a green screen so we could add a suitably New Yorky background. We created the background collage using Gimp to glue together a bunch of New York skyline and shop-front pictures culled from the Internet. The sidewalk is from outside our building. The sound-effects are courtesy of Hanna Barbera and the sound track is, of course, due to Danny Elfman. We used Final Cut Express to put it all together.
