What's left behind the scenes

  • The first film in history to be entirely shot on a digital still camera instead of a standard video camera. During the production of the film, 109 million frames were shot. The shooting process lasted 55 weeks (just over a year).
  • All the dolls used in the production of the film are made of stainless steel.
  • The film is dedicated to the memory of executive producer Joe Ranft. Joe died on August 16, 2005, as a result of a car accident.
  • To make the bride blink in the film, the creators needed 28 frames.
  • Tim Burton designed most of the characters himself.
  • The actors voiced their characters before filming began.
  • The song by Bonejangles, “Remains of the Day,” which tells Emily's backstory, is written in the style of a 1930s jazz song by Cab Calloway. Over 27 people auditioned to perform it, but ultimately the composer performed it himself.
  • To speed up the filming process, 14 Emily dolls, 14 Victor dolls, and 13 Victoria dolls were created.
  • 22 animators were involved in the project – each of them worked at an average speed of 6 seconds of animation per week.
  • Victoria's father mistakenly calls Victor Vincent. 'Vincent' is the title of Tim Burton's very first animated film.
  • The singing skeleton (Bonejangles), who tells Emily's story in the song, was voiced by the soundtrack author and composer, Danny Elfman.
  • The dolls used in the film are approximately 30 centimeters tall. Among other things, they contain special mechanisms placed in their heads. The mechanism allows the dolls to blink or open their mouths, and is designed so that animators adjusting the doll do not have to touch its face.
  • To demonstrate the indifference and formality of the Victorian world, the world of the living was depicted in colors close to those of ferrotypes and daguerreotypes.
  • The technology of mechanical facial control for dolls was previously used only for shooting commercials.
  • This is the first stop-motion animated film edited using Apple's 'Final Cut Pro'.
  • Kostotryas's song "Remains of Days," which tells the backstory of Emily, is written in the style of a 1930s jazz song by Cab Calloway. Over 27 people auditioned to perform it, but in the end, the composer performed it himself.
  • Victoria's father mistakenly calls Victor Vincent. "Vincent" is the title of Tim Burton's very first animated film.
