I was responsible for all of the camera and layout work in these shots, as well as rigging and animating the spiders and the webs. While the wide shots were generated using a crowd system in Houdini by an FX artist, for the close ups I also wrote a custom python tool to take a global translation of the spider rig, generate a motion path from those keys, and then retime a walk cycle based on the speed and distance it covered.
