Production for Can You See What I See? On A Scary Scary Night begins with sketches like this one by Walter Wick. The sketches establish each scenes' mood and provides a basic plan to help guide the model makers.

After the castle was constructed out of polyureathane foam by model makers, Walter Wick made test photographs with other unfinished model components to make sure everything fit according to plan.

The castle was built in separate pieces, making it easier for several artists to work on it all at once. Here, Mike Galvin paints a roof and will reattach to the tower once it is dry.

To make the scary tree, Randy Gilman first made a wire base, and then covered the wire with a special, flexible polymer clay. Once the clay is baked in the oven and hardens, the tree branches are still able to bend and grip the hidden objects that will later be added by Wick.
