A long time ago in an industry far, far away…There was Spider-Man 2. This is where it gets confusing, because there is more than one film by that name now. But in the days before reboots, our Spiderman 2 was the 2002 version, and our sets were epic. I worked on a number of sets for the film, but what I include here are some of my drawings for the derelict warehouse. The set was divided into two sections, the part that rose above the floor, and the part from the floor down that was submerged. I drew the short straw and got the submerged half. The set was built on Stage 15 of Sony Studios Where The Wizard of Oz and all of Esther Williams aquatic movies were filmed. The whole thing was built practically (the set involved too many camera setups and stunts for digital extensions). I also worked up a sketch of the exterior of that same warehouse, based on the working drawings my counterpart and I prepared. This was used as a base for our illustrators to work up our exterior matte paintings.
