We're Interviewing Who?! - VFX Supervisor Mike Lasker for Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse
VFX Supervisor Mike Lasker swings by to chat about using visual style to enhance storytelling, keeping characters distinct and alive through effects (but not letting them become overwhelming), and building out complicated "stunt" set pieces for Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse,
Note: At the time of recording SAG-AFTRA's guidance has not asked film critics and entertainment journalists to cease coverage.

THE MACHINES, from director Mike Rianda and producers Phil Lord and Christopher Miller and the Academy Award®-winning SPIDER-MAN: INTO THE SPIDER-VERSE.

More about Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse:
After reuniting with Gwen Stacy, Brooklyn’s full-time friendly neighborhood Spider-Man is catapulted across the Multiverse, where he encounters the Spider Society, a team of Spider-People charged with protecting the Multiverse’s very existence. But when the heroes clash on how to handle a new threat, Miles finds himself pitted against the other Spiders and must redefine what it means to be a hero so he can save the people he loves most. Anyone can wear the mask, it’s how you wear the mask that makes you a hero.
Starring: Shameik Moore, Hailee Steinfeld, Brian Tyree Henry, Luna Lauren Velez, Jake Johnson, Jason Schwartzman, Issa Rae, Karan Soni, Daniel Kaluuya, and Oscar Isaac.
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is out now on Digital and Blu-Ray.
