The Making of Beetlejuice Beetlejuice
“What I’ve always loved about his films is that incredible warmth and that incredible imagination,” cinematographer Haris Zambarloukos, BSC, GSC says of director Tim Burton. Well known for his longtime collaboration with director Kenneth Branagh on features such as Belfast and A Haunting in Venice, Zambarloukos teamed with Burton for the first time on the new feature Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, the long-anticipated sequel to the director’s 1988 classic Beetlejuice. Visiting Panavision London after principal photography wrapped, Zambarloukos sat down for this video, reflecting with gratitude on the creative partnership he and Burton shared.
Zambarloukos’ primary lenses for the project were a combination of Ultra Panatar and Ultra Panatar II 1.3x anamorphic optics, which he paired with Panavised Venice 2 camera bodies. In this video, he also shares insights into the movie’s visual effects, working across continents in the U.K. and the U.S., and the inspiration he found in Thomas E. Ackerman, ASC’s cinematography on the original Beetlejuice.
