I worked on two of the Spiderman films at Sony Pictures Imageworks in Culver City, CA. These "side by sides" represent a photograph as reference to match the CGI buildings to. Spiderman2 won the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects in 2004. John Dysktra and Scott Stokdyk were the Visual FX supervisors. Dan Abrams spearheaded the work on the buildings in the first picture and the 2nd I believe. Andrew Nawrot, Leslie Baker and myself lookdev'd buildings/cities at Sony for years. Joe Dicesare and another texture painter who's name escapes me did an amazing job on the textures. If I'm forgetting anyone let me know.
