SUMMARY
Director of photography Brett Pawlak aimed for a visual style for Spider-Man: Brand New Day that combined saturated colors with deep blacks, inspired by classic comic art. He utilized large-format 65mm sensors and worked with Panavision to customize Panaspeed lenses, seeking high performance and a clean look.
