Summary
In Happy Gilmore 2, visual effects played a subtle yet impactful role in bringing the beloved world of Happy back to life. VFX artists blended practical golf stunts with digital enhancements to amplify comedic timing, exaggerate physics-defying trick shots, and even digitally de-age select characters for flashback sequences.
From seamless crowd replication during high-stakes tournaments to digitally recreated golf course environments, visual effects helped elevate the film’s nostalgic charm while pushing its slapstick humor to new creative heights. The result is a visually polished comedy that honors the original while embracing modern filmmaking techniques.
SCANable provided 3D scanning of locations, 3D body and prop scanning, and aerial photogrammetry for the sequel.
