How long did it take to make Corpse Bride?

Planning 10 year, shooting for 3 years.

First, tim burton personally drew a sketch for each character puppet.

Then artists from all over the world were invited to make puppets as delicate as Swiss clocks and watches. Every puppet's head will turn, and every time it turns, it will make all the human expressions you can imagine.

An ordinary movie, 1 sec has 24 pictures.

This means that the one-second film length of "Corpse Bride" requires 24 shots to switch on and off, and 24 times to adjust the puppet's posture and expression.

This is still a relatively simple job.

Complex things are a dime a dozen.

For example, Emily's beautiful wedding dress, how to dance with the wind

The effect of using a hair dryer will only be that the puppet flies away with the wedding dress.

So it can only be done by complicated machines.

……

The program said: for us viewers, the filming process of this film is so long and boring. If someone in this world really has a paranoid love for movies, it's really hard to imagine that someone can make a 76-minute movie in this way ... Note that this 76-minute movie has only been finished, and the actual shooting must be much longer than this. ...

I really admire tim burton's spirit towards movies. ...

Some people complain that "Corpse Bride" is too short or something. You should know how they made it!
