Spider-Man 2: Enter Electro - Behind The Scenes (Patreon)

Hey guys, sorry this video took so long. the idea was for it to be a short video but I'm not so great at sticking to my guns when it comes to writing short scripts at the moment.

Hopefully you enjoyed the video, and as usual here's a few tidbits of information about it that I think might be worth a look.

How the video came about:

This one's an easy one! Yeah... It's Spider-Man 2. My idea these days is to cover games within a series next to (or at least fairly close to) another one. While the Spider-Man character has been in an absolute SHED LOAD of games... this particular series is only the two games, and it felt right to just jump into and begin talking about this sequel seeing as I had it right there on my shelf anyway.

How the video changed during production:

This is a big one that involves an actual video for you to see if you like! 

My original idea for starting the video was to fully recreate the motion graphics from Spider-Man.

As cool as it looked I knew for a fact the music being used so much without interruption would ultimately end up with the video getting slammed by copyright, and I totally understand that.

I was also thinking this could potentially age the video, as I was only doing it due to having access to the films clips on YouTube after it's digital release, and generally speaking I try not to mention current evens in videos in an attempt to keep them "timeless" as it were...

That and the whole thing would be much better suited to Spider-Man Shattered Dimensions, should I ever feel the need to cover that game on the channel...

You can watch an early work-in-progress and scrapped version of that intro here. 

Pizza Intro:

My other idea for the intro was to make some sort of joke involving pizza, in a nod to the other Spider-Man 2. This was halted simply because I didn't have a Pizza box or any boxes around to make my own, and I didn't want to spend the money on an actual pizza JUST for the box...

In the end I figured just recreating the actual intro from the game itself was the way to go. I always did like the way the Spider-Man logo has the search lights going across it, so that was fun to replicate in a backwards manner.

Other cuts:

The shot where I reveal I also have the same sound effects stashed away somewhere, that the game uses in it's "bad guys sat around a table scene" was originally a tad longer, but the joke felt forced and unneeded so away it went.

Other Trivia and info:

There is a very VERY brief hint a to what my next video is somewhere in this review. Have fun trying to find it.

What's next?

Without outright saying what game I have my eyes on, just know that April Fools Day is something I'd like to put a little more effort into this year!

Sorry if this Behind the Scenes post wasn't as in depth as the last one, but it was a fairly straightforward video to be honest. That, and I've had my glasses adjusted today and the headache that's followed it is really starting to hurt my eyes right now as I type this...

Until next time, thanks for the support and I'll catch you next time.
