I thought the stop motion scenes were made completely with CGI but thankfully no. Kudos to Tim Burton and all the other people who stayed true to how the first Beetlejuice was made.
I actually thought they were used to stop motion originally, but then I heard that it was actually CGI but I’m glad that rumors been put to rest. It was stop motion and I’m really happy.
CGI is great as a last resort and tool but a filmmaker should always try to get things done practically first and use CGI sparingly. It really makes the whole movie better. I think that’s why this film was so successful.
You can tell a sequence is done in stop motion because the medium has a certain "feel" to it in the way the characters move. That's how I could tell the plane scene was stop motion.
these animators did a phenomenal job. i'm happy tim went back to practical effects and stop-motion as it felt right and more realistic. i don't mind he still did CGI but he didn't go overboard for it this time around. i feel like he's gotten some spark left in him and he is enjoying himself once again.
The stop motion looked fantastic in this movie and it was such a treat to see it used on the big screen. Loved every second the sandworm puppet was shown and definitely stop motion was the only way to do it.

I was curious if the sandworm was CG or not and I am absolutely blow away with the detail on the models! I'm really glad they stuck with stop-motion because it gave the sandworm a lot of charm.
Such a bold and genius move to remain with the stop motion. I'm quite happy with the decision and almost seems like a no-brainer when you finally see it.
This should be the norm. We became so disappointed with seeing CGI everywhere that most of us didn't even believe that this was in fact real Stop Motion animation.
Hopefully this encourages other filmmakers to incorporate stop motion into a live action environment. The problem with stop motion back in the 80’s and early 90’s is the compositing. However, now we’re at a point where you can put a stop motion character in the same frame as a live action actor and it can look seamless.
@@masterofallgoons Yeah that blew my mind that it was Titan the whole time that both the Maitlands and Lydia and Astrid were on. So the Sandworm is an Alien Animal. What is the Afterlifes connection with one of Saturns Moons?!
Thank you Warner Bros for supporting stopmotion vfx, as its a beautiful art form. Would it be possible to produce a film with the Harryhausen Foundation to make another "fantasy monster movie" like you once did with The Valley of Gwanji back in the late 60s? I'd be in that cinema quicker than...well, than if I were being chased by Gwangi himself!
CGI is great as a last tool but a filmmaker should always try to get things done practically and in camera first and use CGI sparingly. It really makes the whole movie better and feel realistic. I think that’s why this film was partially so successful.
I really hope Tim Burton makes another fully stop motion animated feature film someday. Maybe for Warner Bros and as a musical like The Nightmare Before Christmas and Corpse Bride.

How come toho didn't use stop motion for godzilla, it could have worked very well for the current godzilla movies, plus I can imagine a big sandworm animatronic
That would be awesome.. but I want to see them do a Godzilla with a guy in a suit and a model city again. Just think how amazingly well they could pull that off with today's practical effects
They try to do it for the original King Kong vs Godzilla but they abandoned the idea and only two short scenes in the final film used stop motion animation
I did stop motion with plasticine in animation school. I found it to be a mistake because it melted under the hot lights and kept falling off of the armature. I still have the figure I made.
That scene with the plane smoking and going down is truly bad. You can literally see the CGI smoke particle effect clipping through the wing. Why did they want to include that clip here, talking about stop motion?
Yes, they just showed you 9 minutes of practical effects. Of course cg is used to composite it all together, but the effects themselves are real No cg usually means minimal cg
No directors would refuse to use digital effects in their films because it can be very useful and it’s the standard in the industry since the late ‘90. « No cgi » is just a marketing thing, even if a lot of special effects were done practically
what a complete waste of time, money and talent. They spend hours and hours making models only to convert it with CGI .... what’s the point? Even some moments shown in this video were complete CGI making the whole reason using practical effects redundant. Plus, the on screen stop motion scenes are literally seconds long which aren’t worth it all of this effort. The film its self is an absolute shambles and a terrible sequel to a classic movie.
