5. First Hollywood Production To Be Filmed With RED Epic Camera
The visual effects of this film were universally lauded as some of the best. The IMAX and 3D versions were specifically noted for their brilliance and execution. The Amazing Spider-Man was the first major motion picture to use the RED Epic Camera, which was designed to be a portable solution to the massive 3D cameras that were ineffective when it came to swinging across streets and through bridges. I'm not going to go into any of the technicalities as I'll probably screw something up, but to know that history was being made in this film is satiating in itself.
