Handcrafted Aesthetic in Beetlejuice Beetlejuice

VFX Supervisor Mat Krentz shared insights with Animation World Network about our work on Tim Burton's Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, detailing how our team delivered 253 VFX shots that maintained the film's handcrafted aesthetic. 

These shots included a creepy Baby Beetlejuice, a dismembered Delores, Charles Deetz bitten by a shark and CG snakes, all the while partially building and extending the iconic attic model. Working closely with Production VFX Supervisor, Angus Bickerton, puppeteers, costume designers, and other crafts, our team—led by VFX Supervisor Mat Krentz and VFX Producer Dan Booty—seamlessly integrated CG enhancements with practical elements and effects, preserving the film's throwback and handcrafted feel while using contemporary technology.
