Bram Stoker's Dracula

Matte World Digital created the shots that established Dracula's castle for the film. The concept as conceived by director Frances Ford Coppola, was to subliminally simulate a man sitting on the throne, with a claw-like hand.

The live action plate was photographed on an interrior set at Sony sound stages.

Looking up from the base of Dracula's castle, the camera tilts up a castle miniature. Burning torch elements were also added with interactive lighting.
