The Amazing Spider-Man conference link I brought up in class

So this is that link that we pulled up on Sandler's computer in case anyone wanted to look at it again. Another point that they brought up as to the film's differences to the original trilogy was "As you can see, a lot of the stunts are practical and grounded in reality. That was something that Marc, the director, really wanted to make sure happened in this movie to set it apart from previous ones… I would exhaust myself every day and get into near-death experiences every hour on the hour… I collaborated with [the stunt team] not only on the big stunt set-pieces but also on what happens to Peter’s body when he gets bitten. What happens to his DNA and how that effects the way he moves and the way he interacts with objects. The idea that he has spider DNA running in his system. What that will do to his sense of space. What that will do to the sensitivity of his skin. To have an opportunity to play in that forum with creative and talented people was a real opportunity and gift."

The full 50 something odd minute press conference video is also there for anyone that wants it.
