This kind of motion capture work has obviously become a huge part of how Hollywood does business in the age of computer action movies and comics. Of course, fans can usually only see the finished product when all the computer effects are added and everything looks great and flawless. That's why it's interesting to watch videos like the ones above that show a very early stage in the process of bringing a character like Venom to life. Hardy really does seem to be having a good time playing with the Venom character and figuring out how he would move across the screen. It remains to be seen what new twists will offer Venom 2 but there's no doubt that a lot of work will go into making Venom look as badass as possible.
