In the fall of 2021, partly in anticipation of the theatrical release of Spider-Man: No Way Home, I set out to create a four-part mini-series detailing the origin of Spider-Man. Most people don't find the origin of super-heroes particularly interesting I know, and especially when it comes to Spider-Man, we've seen the story so many times, but that was partly why I wanted to create this. I wanted to challenge myself to make people care. I was seventeen at the time that I originally animated and released this episode on YouTube, so my creative process and abilities as an animator have grown quite a bit since then, but this was one of my first attempts at legitimate story-telling with themes and character arcs.
