See How They Built Times Square For The Amazing Spider-Man 2

Sony Pictures Imageworks has released a new visual effects breakdown video that showcases the work their team of artists did to bring Times Square to life in Marc Webb's The Amazing Spider-Man 2.

The video details the New York City environments that were recreated digitally so that Spidey could swing through the city. It also showcases the digital recreation of Times Square, which was used during Spider-Man's confrontation with Electro.

Check out their "Environment Shot Build" video below.

It's great to be Spider-Man (Andrew Garfield). For Peter Parker, there's no feeling quite like swinging between skyscrapers, embracing being the hero, and spending time with Gwen (Emma Stone). But being Spider-Man comes at a price: only Spider-Man can protect his fellow New Yorkers from the formidable villains that threaten the city. With the emergence of Electro (Jamie Foxx), Peter must confront a foe far more powerful than he. And as his old friend, Harry Osborn (Dane DeHaan), returns, Peter comes to realize that all of his enemies have one thing in common: Oscorp.
