00:00Did you know that in Spider-Man, that famous scene where Peter Parker is bitten by the spider has no
00:04CGI?
00:05The spider was not added with special effects.
00:07The film's director wanted the scene to look as real as possible,
00:09so they gathered several different spiders to analyze which looked most interesting for the scene
00:13and combined practical and digital effects.
00:15The first idea was to use a spider called a Black Widow,
00:18but this was discarded because it was extremely dangerous.
00:21Instead, they used a spider called Stetode Grossera,
00:23which, although it has a strange name, did not pose a danger.
00:26The spider was painted red and blue with non-toxic paint to look more threatening,
00:29and they hired a person specifically to train it for the scene.
