Check out Spider-Man 3behind-the-scenes video on Venom with E. J. Krisor!

The fluid look of Sandman (Thomas Haden Church) in Spider-Man 3 is the main reason Sam Raimi wanted him as the villain.They said he's a great "visual character." Spider-Man star Tobey McGuire said he'd been "waiting for Sandman to be a villain" saying, "I think Sandman's qualities are very difficult to deal with in that he can shape-shift, basically, using sand in any form. So, it's really hard to defeat that character. And that's the great thing about Spider-Man from the comic books, too, that Spider-Man was generally the weaker of the two fighters, and he would have to find the villains vulnerabilities in order to defeat them."

The fluid look of Sandman was hard to achieve. But digital effects supervisor Ken Hahn said, "We were given a lot of conceptual art that was very helpful from E. J. Krisor."

E. J. Krisor is a professional concept and costume illustrator who's worked on big budget movies like The Amazing Spider-Man (2013), X-Men: The Last Stand (2006)and Superman Returns (2006).
