A 14-year-old artist got to live his dream when the filmmakers behind the latest "Spider-Man" movie asked him to work on the film. Preston Mutanga made waves earlier this year when he shared a video he made recreating the trailer for "Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse" in the style of LEGO. The 2-minute clip went viral, finding its way to "Spider-Verse" writers and producers Chris Lord and Phil Miller. "It blew us all away, including some of the best animators in the world." When it was decided that the multiverse-hopping film would be adding a LEGO-themed sequence, the filmmakers reached out to Mutanga to offer him the chance to animate it.

☆ How a 14-Year-Old Came to Animate a Scene in ‘Across the Spider-Verse’

Early in the thrill-packed sequel “Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse,” the story takes a brief yet memorable detour into a dimension that resembles Lego building blocks and figures. The clever and amusing scene, a tribute to “The Lego Movie,” was not the work of seasoned animation artists, but that of a 14-year-old fan turned professional creator living in Toronto. Forgoing the instructions for a set of Lego blocks, he built cars with his own designs. “I also used to make comics when I was younger,” Mutanga said during a recent video interview. “Looking back at them now, they’re not the greatest, I’m not going to lie, but it was good practice for telling stories.”
