Into the Spider-Verse was one of the most life-changing audio experiences of all time. I watched the first one in my best friend’s living room but I saw the second one in theatres and wow. I mean you can tell it was designed to be viewed in a booming space. There is nothing like the feeling of being surrounded by not only the characters but their emotions as built by the sound design. It is truly incredible art because it’s a world within a world. Our world(ish) but through the lens of a comic book. And I do think that it is some of the most successful design of our time. It’s gorgeous, transports you to a world, and you can visualize everything on its own as well. It was very cool to learn from the designer. Hearing about how important they feel it is to build the base sound scape was interesting, “we earn the right to get bigger” was really impactful.
