The brilliant animation team used frame rate as a literal, mathematical storytelling device for character growth. Throughout the first half of the film, Miles is animated 'on twos' (12 frames per second) to make him look clumsy, uncoordinated, and out of sync with Peter Parker, who moves smoothly 'on ones' (24 fps). The exact moment Miles overcomes his fear and takes his iconic leap from the skyscraper, his animation instantly shifts to match Peter's perfect 24 fps, symbolizing that he has finally matured and is ready to be Spider-Man.
