Including some very fun Easter eggs about the stop-motion scenes.Today on the befores & afters podcast, a look behind the scenes of Tim Burtons Beetlejuice Beetlejuice. We start with visual effects supervisor Angus Bickerton, who shares some of the overall VFX challenges, including the putting back together of Monica Bellucis Delores character, and the puppet for the Beetlejuice baby. Work by Framestore and One of Us is discussed. Angus makes particular mention of creature effects creative supervisor Neal Scanlan, too.Then we dive into the stop motion animation work by Mackinnon & Saunders, including with Ian Mackinnon, stop motion supervising producer, and Chris Tichborne, animation supervisor. Theres a lot of fun detail here about the making of the sandworm and its animation, and the plane crash. I love Chris mention of the live action reference video he shot of himself in a swimming pool where he couldnt actually tell anyone he was with what it was for. Also, theres a fun easter egg moment featuring Tim Burton on the plane. This episode of the befores & afters podcast is sponsored by SideFX.
