Chris Haigh is back with another episode of Finding the Frame, and this time, he’s diving headfirst into the wonderfully weird world of Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice with the film's editor, Jay Prychidny, CCE. Also in the house is all-around Beetlejuice fanboy (and creative director of FA) Steven Napolitano.
But wait, there's more! Jay pulls back the curtain on the making of Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice, giving us a glimpse into the unique challenges of crafting a sequel to a beloved classic (no pressure, right?). He dishes on working with the enigmatic Tim Burton, navigating his creative vision, and even reveals his unexpected gig as the voice of Bob, the film's breakout star!
Get ready to geek out as Jay breaks down the film's signature style — those jumpy transitions, the manic energy, and the subtle physicality that makes it all POP. He also tackles the Herculean task of juggling multiple storylines, the joy of uncovering Tim Burton's hidden Easter eggs (did someone say "Carrie" music?), and the sheer insanity of that "MacArthur Park" wedding sequence.
Oh, and did we mention passive exposition? Yeah, Jay's got you covered on that front too. Learn how to subtly slip in those crucial details without resorting to clunky dialogue (your audience will thank you!).
So, grab your popcorn, dim the lights, and prepare to be entertained and enlightened. This episode is packed with insights, laughs, and enough behind-the-scenes goodness to make any filmmaker's heart sing.
