from the AWN article:

Tim Burton’s latest film, Dark Shadows, takes moviegoers on a 220 year journey from the docks of Liverpool to the quaint fishing town of Collinsport, Maine, as we watch first-hand the carnage of a two century old battle of jilted and cursed lovers.

Splitting the work between London and Vancouver facilities, visual effects house MPC handled 340 shots, led by vfx supervisors Arundi Asregadoo and Erik Nordby.

Nordby’s Vancouver team handled completion of just over 90 shots. Their efforts focused on two sequences set in and around a 200 foot high sea-side cliff, known as “Widow’s Hill.” Much of the pivotal action takes place here between Barnabas and his true love from each respective time period. Two times, once in each time setting, people leap off the cliff onto the jagged rocks below, though their tragic fates are forever altered by the vampire’s curse.
