Sensing the potential market fatigue awaiting the release of The Amazing Spider-Man 2, we got legendary comic book artist Ty Templeton to inject some much-needed excitement back into the franchise, by taking us back to the roots of the character.

Process is one of the hardest things to capture on camera, but our behind-the-scenes expertise on movie sets made us uniquely qualified.
