We took on the dazzling ‘Illusion Battle,’ a mesmirising sequence which sees Mysterio play on Peter’s very worst fears by conjuring psychedelic environments, freakish characters and a dramatic narrative. Working with Production VFX Supervisor Janek Sirrs, the team crafted the story and design of the sequence as well as creating the VFX. The abstract nature of the shots and constantly evolving designs meant that once the storyboard was finally locked, the team had just eight weeks to turn around the 140 shots needed to deliver the scene.

Framestore was in the unique position of being encouraged to come up with original and inventive ideas to show Mysterio’s menacing power play. VFX Supervisor Alexis Wajsbrot, who has previously worked on Marvel Studios’ Doctor Strange and Thor: Ragnarok, jumped at the chance to be creatively involved in the sequence. The team began with a pre-vis by Proof as a jump-off point, and went on to brainstorm additional ideas; referencing other films, creating storyboards and then concept artwork to put Spider-Man in various unsettling situations
