Crafting Pinocchio-Guillermo del Toro's Stop-Motion Masterpiece!

[@adrianleonard8315]

As someone who works in stop motion, I can say that, just based on these videos, that this is one of the best stop-mo exhibits ever! Showing all of the details and workmanship that goes into creating something so special. Especially celebrating the early stages of the process, when people are experimenting and using materials like cardboard and block foam to figure out how things will work. It really is giving the entire world of stop-motion the respect and appreciation that it deserves! What a joy! Thanks MoMA, and thanks Adam for these videos. Now...I just gotta get myself to NY to see it in person!

[@menamgamg]

This movie was so amazing. Watched it 3 times. Such a work of art.

[@joepie221]

The crafts people responsible for all of this are to be commended. Extremely well done.

[@DisabledParkHopper]

This has to be the greatest exhibit to pay homage to the art of stop motion. Tree-mundus respect they paid to the the whole of stop motion and the incredible detail in each puppet. I love CGI but without this kind of Film, None of the CGI would be what it is today. I could spend hour upon hour studying how to make any of these puppets! Ahhh. Thank you Adam for sharing this amazing exhibit with us here on the KZbins!

[@eriksimca9409]

stop motion is an art in itself

[@camrynhamme]

It’s so heart breaking to think they were going to throw so much of this exhibit away of Moma didn’t take it, and once the exhibition runs it’s course it’ll probably go back to the studio to be thrown away.

[@tested]

It is likely to become a traveling exhibition, we're told.

[@poisonjam4564]

@@tested if not, hopefully you can find a way to add it to your collection! Better in the hands of a maker than the ones of a destroyer

[@BabyJesus66]

The majority of stuff from the big stop motion movies gets destroyed and put in the trash unfortunately.

[@JonReevesLA]

@@tested It's going to the Portland Art Museum next

[@CinnamonToastKing]

It's how movies are, stop motion to full live-action and everything in between. As much as you want to keep things you just don't have the space for all of this. At best the main models may be stored or sold but as they say, a lot of this stuff breaks down if not stored properly. So again the space you would need its just not possible. Everything else is trashed or reused.

[@wubwub89]

The film was absolutely amazing. I'm not going to spoil it for anyone, but the fusion of the classical Pinocchio story with history, the capture of the ever present darkness and strangeness of human existence, the combination of everything was a blindsider. It really does an excellent job of highlighting the pain of loss duality with the real estate of life. I admit it was an emotional film for me, especially having lost children in the family. I assume this is still on Netflix, probably other services. Absolutely worth the watch.

[@入江拓也]

私は日本人です。日本で、この映画作品を鑑賞しました。キャラクターたちの人形は、すばらしい造形だと思います。私の母は、この作品のストーリーに感動して泣いていました。

[@serwinzzalot9989]

Turning a real wooden puppet into a living puppet can only happen in stop motion. So meta and so perfectly imagined by del Toro

[@lucasRem-ku6eb]

MAYA, we can do this better now, Autodesk !

[@MephProduction]

You mean gris grimly

[@lucasRem-ku6eb]

@@MephProduction You meant ???? You, who ? Pinocchio ? Who old are you ?

[@MephProduction]

@@lucasRem-ku6eb The film is based on Gris grimly's Pinocchio book, lots of people keep giving Toro credit for someone else's designs

[@georgeeastwood6930]

The puppet metaphor also works in the movie’s political context, where everyone under Benito Mussolini’s fascist rule over Italy is a puppet (ironically except for Pinocchio himself). 😊

[@graefx]

I noticed *NONE* of those stained glass Easter eggs. That's brilliant. I wish I could see this exhibit. I love that the schedule board post-its have so many pinholes in some. Clearly used over and over throughout the week and moved around.

[@AndrewLaSane]

The MoMa exhibit is fantastic. Bought a membership just to be able to see it multiple times (and skip the long lines). Weird to see it so brightly lit for this tour

[@PizzaHawks]

The difference in light might just be be fstop on camera.

[@AndrewLaSane]

@@PizzaHawks yeah I'm sure it was a technical choice

[@tested]

We didn't bring in lighting ...

[@AndrewLaSane]

@@tested hope you got to see the exhibit lighting when you weren't filming! Very moody, like the inside of a giant dogfish

[@reizak8966]

I would love to see this! The behind the scenes of this film are so fascinating, and the fact that these pieces won't last very long makes this experience extra special.

[@CinnamonToastKing]

Check out the LAIKA Studios' channel. They have tons! of short behind-the-scenes of many aspects of stop motion they have done. So informative, eye-opening, and astonishing the incredible amount of work, time, and effort that goes into stop motion.

[@DarylCooke]

This film needs to be preserved in the archives and this museum. This film is an unmatched artistic accomplishment that is criminally underappreciated. I thank every hand that touched and crafted this masterpiece.

[@benwasserman8223]

Caught the behind the scene exhibit at the MOMA last month. Even my family was blown away by this film’s level of craft.

[@trickyricky2903]

I didn't particularly rate the movie highly among Guillermo's other works, but seeing this has given me a whole new level of appreciation, I can't wait to watch it again with that new perspective.

[@cenciende9401]

Then you have bad taste, easily in the better half of his work.

[@MrPopsfreshnmyer]

Every frame of Pinocchio is brilliant and this exibition is a fantastic idea.

[@DaleTrevors]

THIS documentary video convinced me to watch Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio!

Wow. The staging of that exhibit is as impressive as the art it is displaying.

[@hanh7395]

I love how tangible everything is. What you see in the film is 1:1 how it looks like in reality since it's stop-motion.

[@cristiano.machado]

Thank you for showing how much love and dedication there is behind a stop motion movie like this. My son aspires to be an animator and it is heart warming to see such celebration of this craft.

[@pendaco]

Just like the movie itself felt like a labour of love this exposition too feels like such a labour of love for the craft! Love it.

[@gl15col]

Like everything from Guillermo de Toro - a kind of fever dream of light and shadow. Wish I could go see this, Pinocchio as Christ was the center of the bullseye for me.

[@orztirr1417]

This man has inspired me since I was 10 years old watching "special features" on DVD's.

[@FergalByrne]

Cheers for sharing the joy and love in this work and the exhibit. Spotless

[@crooker2]

So beautiful in every way. The movie was gorgeous, raw, honest, shocking and heartfelt. I'm glad These pieces didn't end up in the bin.

[@Charles-Darwin]

2022 movie of the year IMO. Should have won so many awards

[@penchant4]

Wonderful that practical has not been completely supplanted by CGI!!! Thanks for visiting and posting.

[@pleiades.puppets]

So glad you were able to see this! I saw it at MoMA back in December and didn't want to leave. Hard to absorb the workmanship and genius in one walk-through.

[@TheLugiaSong]

Gee, I wanna go here so bad, how amazing. Even simple prototypes show how much work went into it. I would love to be a stop-motion animator one day, but you really do need a whole team to produce something like this, as well as a lot of tools and knowledge. I am so glad the art of stop motion is alive and well, despite how much work it requires.

[@shawnmichaelis1609]

If they could 3d scan this and sell tickets to view this whole exhibition i would deff buy a ticket. maybe even a 3d vr video you could would around in and look everything super upclose and personal

[@Snidde22]

It was a beautiful film. Super happy I caught it in theater.

[@Jack_Wolfe]

18:18 SCAN SCAN SCAN SCAN! If all the things are to be disposed of or in some way decay, why not 3D scan the objects for achieving? Because at least there's reference for the things later even if they are lost forever.

[@rjspires]

Such a great film. A joy to watch and see the love for the models is being shown.

[@bjbenterprises]

This is so great! We love seeing the "behind the scenes" work done on Stop-Motion projects like this. We see several of our mold making and casting products highlighted in the exhibition. Our TC-1630 rigid, filled urethane at 6:38 and M-3180 flexible urethane at 6:52 for example. It's usually a year or two after a film production we get to see the molds and parts due to confidentiality. Can't wait to go see this in person!

[@jkoblivion4175]

The aesthetic of Guillermo is always out of this world.

[@SuperFradam]

I LOVE that you did this Adam! I will never have a chance to see this excibition and now I have! This is awesome!

[@thexbigxgreen]

I can't believe this movie was actually stop motion. It easily felt like CGI, incredibly impressive

[@carlosbeltran7301]

This deserves a national tour!!!

[@MrChief101]

Extraordinary. Good for MOMA.

[@mrhumpty]

Wish I could have seen this exhibit. That movie was mesmerizing. The story was fantastic... but my god the sets/stop motion was spellbinding.

[@DebCohen]

Thank you so much for going and showing the exhibit. As someone who is on that crew photo board at the end Its so great to see everything since I might not be able to get to NYC to see it. A magical film.

[@shamancarmichael5305]

What an amazing exhibition and celebration of the art and craftsmanship of this film!

[@MythosFilmsYT]

Really hope this exhibition will make its' way to Europe one day, this is amazing!!

[@Games_and_Music]

Yeah, i have a colleague that collects all kinds of Pinocchio memorabilia, he would have a heart attack and probably an emotional breakdown if he entered that room, haha

[@rare6499]

Incredible artistry. Amazing

[@csouverein]

Adam could make a full week special here and still not cover all there is. Very amazing. Loved loved the film. Now I really wanna watch it again.

[@simontrickfilmer]

i'm so sad, WENDAL AND WILD don't get the recognition it deserves. Henry Selliks new Stop Motion Movie is also an masterpeace.

[@elenabailaalbrizzi]

Thank you so much Adam for sharing this amazing experience here with us. A wonderful exhibition on the world of stop motion. Thank you very much 🤸🏻‍♀️

[@teddyfurstman1997]

Adam Savage from Mythbusters along with GDT are such great Icons of Childhood.

[@henrik7154]

I want to go see this exhibition for myself but I sadly can’t 😞. So thank you Adam for sharing this experience with us. Your excitement durning this shoot was very relatable. I would run around this place and probably wouldn’t wanna leave. I was blown away by this incredible movie. I loved it but I didn’t know that literally EVERYTHING is handmade. When I saw the making of directly after the movie went from an 8/10 to a 12/10 for me. Just an incredible piece of art.

[@wminion3890]

Such an amazing film, not sure if it had a lot of watches but it deserves so many eyes.

[@b62boom1]

A friend of mine worked on it. She made some of the costumes. Her work is just spectacular!

[@chipcode5538]

Adam you are a lucky guy. What a beautiful art pieces.

[@marinescu0511]

I love videos like these, I love when we get to see the thought process of people with rinky dink things put together to form the rough idea.

[@jbarroso22]

Guillermo and Adam making a movie. Can I dream about it?

[@maddiek1314]

Just learned the exhibit will be coming to the Portland art museum in the summer, so exciting! Really hope I’ll get to see it then

[@juanQuedo]

In this world we all should aspire to see things of our jobs and lives in the same way, with that almost childish enthusiasm that Adam sees his world.

[@BlueTearDconnor]

I met one of the artists who works with Guillermo, a nice person, his name is Guy Davis, just wondering if his picture was in that artist board. Thank you for showcasing this.

[@hunterwebb2348]

This was great to watch @tested. We are screening a 35mm print of this film many times in March & April. Let Ron know if you want a tour of our MoMA Booth. XXOO

This is amazing to see

[@recstuf]

GDT says stop motion is a form of art in perpetual extinction, because only a very rare combination of crazy and patience is needed to make such a film as this.

Great movie a must watch😃Congratz on the oscar to GDT👍
