Hi, everyone.
I'm Justin K. Thompson, and I am the production
designer for Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.
When we were working on the animated film,
the most exciting part of the process
was bringing Miles Morales to life
on the big screen for the first time in a way that
had never been seen before.
We knew how special the character was,
and that we wanted to give him his own unique style
of animation.
And it's been amazing to see the way audiences
have responded to the movie.
And now, it's exciting to see that Insomnia Games
and PlayStation in collaboration with Marvel Games,
created its own take on the character
in Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales,
coming out for PS5 and PS4.
The way Insomniac faithfully brought the iconic suit
designed for Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse into the game
is visually stunning and remarkable.
We were able to advise on some of the unique design elements
that made the film so distinct, like how we often animated
the characters on twos, and we made recommendations for how
best to integrate the pop up words
and the little burst cards on screen
into the action sequences.
Hey, The Underground's messing with a billboard.
Just pinged it.
The Underground must be nearby if they're
hijacking that billboard.
Got to lock on to the signal so I can find
where the Underground's hiding.
Locking on.
All right.
Now to track them down.
The Underground's trying to get the press to notice them more.
Maybe they should launch an ad.
The Underground, as advertised.
UNDERGROUND: Do you think anyone's--
How's building that Underground brand going?
UNDERGROUND: I'll show you what we can do!
UNDERGROUND: You can't even see him!
UNDERGROUND: Take him down!
UNDERGROUND: Can't wait to rip that mask off!
You won't stop us!
This your warning-- go home!
Take your best shot!
It won't--
There's gotta be a transmitter around here.
Friendly neighborhood Spider-Man-- one.
Underground advertising campaign-- zero.
Something's weakening emergency responder communications.
Should check it out.
Spider-Man, thank god.
Something's weakening our emergency comms.
We can't get through to the fire department.
Is anyone still inside?
No, we got everyone out.
But this fire's going to jump if we don't get help.
Hear that?
Just noise now.
I think I can find the source.
Don't worry.
I'm going to get your comms back up.
The sooner I get to the source, the sooner
the fire trucks get here.
My webs can't handle a fire this big.
Whatever is weakening the signal is just ahead.
Fire's burning real good, and all I'm hearing is static.
Guess powering down the tower worked.
Insurance only pays out if the whole building goes down.
So make sure the static stays till then.
They're weakening comms for an insurance scam?
Got to stop them.
CRIMINAL: Hey, you sure you know what you're doing there?
CRIMINAL: Yeah, I watched one of those video tutorials.
Seriously, there's one for everything on the internet.
CRIMINAL: Oh, don't show up.
CRIMINAL: I hate New York winters.
I haven't felt my toes in a week.
CRIMINAL: Payday is going to be sweet on this one.
CRIMINAL: You know it.
Just gotta wait a little while longer.
Sorry guys.
You really should've gone for the Spider-Man insurance.
Comms are weak because there's no power.
I need to charge up that generator.
Hey Mr. EMT.
Dudes are trying to burn down that building
for an insurance scam.
That's why they're messing with your comms.
EMT: Are you serious?
They're putting people in danger.
Yeah.
How's the fire looking?
EMT: It's getting real close to jumping the building next door.
And I still can't reach the fire department.
Signal should be clear soon.
Hang tight.
I'll update you.
Getting close.
CRIMINAL: Hang on.
The signal's stronger now.
What did you do?
CRIMINAL: Why are you always assuming things are my fault?
Huh?
What's that about?
Can't wait.
I've got to get those comms back to normal.
CRIMINAL: Kind of feeling a little bad for the neighbors.
What if the fire spreads?
CRIMINAL: You must be new here.
CRIMINAL: Spider-Man!
Whoever takes him out gets a bonus!
CRIMINAL: He just freakin' vanished!
He's over here!
CRIMINAL: Stay out of my business freak show!
CRIMINAL: He's mine!
CRIMINAL: Any luck with this?
CRIMINAL: This ain't gonna end well for you.
Now to get the comms back to full power.
There.
Think that worked.
I should check on the fire and make sure comms are back up.
Hey, how's the signal now?
EMT: Everything is coming through loud and clear.
Got through to dispatch too.
Fire trucks are pulling up now.
Fire department got the building
extinguished just in time.
I'm definitely giving your app five stars.
Glad I could help.
Spread the word, too.
The more people use the app, the safer we'll make New York.
I'm going to make sure everybody knows about it.
Thanks again, Spider-Man.
Mom was right.
Neighborhood's gorgeous.
I myself am a huge fan of comic books.
So I'm excited that fans like me will get
the opportunity to play a game with Miles
Morales in the lead role.
Thank you to Insomniac, our friends at PlayStation,
and Marvel Games for inviting me to be a part of this video.
We can't wait to see it all come together.
ANNOUNCER: PlayStation.
