I found a short article from people who created “Spider-Man“. It is called the “Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse – How to build a pipeline for variable rate animation” by Marteinn Örn Óskarsson and Marlène Chazot (2023). It is very specific and I will definitely include it in my work. It is about variable rate animation, or stepped animation. It is the process of holding a frame of an animation performance between two or more frames, as opposed to keeping a consistent motion of performance through each and every frame. The art direction on Spider-Verse aimed to bring the look of the project closer to a comic book and hand drawn traditional animation. Using the variable rate animation method helped the project get closer to the desired style with some key differences.
