The Many Stop-Motion Faces of Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio

[@jamesharvey805]

The heads are not hand painted! They are entirely fully 3D printed in colour. This is the second video in which Adam has made this mistake and the second time I've called for its correction. To claim they were all individually hand painted is misinformation.

[@Laarrrieeee]

What was the other time?

[@Thomas_Esson]

@@Laarrrieeee Tested toured the Guillermo del Toro's Pinocchio exhibition at MOMA last year, and the curator in that video similarly neglected to correct Adam's (understandable) assumption.

[@DeronMeranda]

I still remember being awed by all the many Coraline faces and body parts. When production finished they made custom gift boxes, each different and handsomely crafted, and sent off body parts to many many people.

[@Ace_Milk]

Without the first sentence giving context, the second sentence sounds like a history on some killer

[@wonkatoad]

"Long gone are the days of plasticine with Wallace & Gromit" New Wallace & Gromit literally coming out a month from now: "Am I a joke to you?"

[@Merennulli]

Though this is believed to be the last one because the modeling clay they used shut down last year and production is working from what they have left.

I've been a Pinocchio fan since I was about 5 and this is hands down my favorite version of the character. What a wonderful film.

[@Boomblast57]

The fact that so much sweat and tears that went into this film makes me love and appreciate it all the more ❤

[@TheINKspiredLife]

Saw the MOMA exhibit that Adam talked about. It was mesmerizing.

[@Tenneseejosh]

I had the opportunity to spend a bit of time with Adam when he visited us filming frozen empire and we geeked out on pinocchio for quite a bit of it.

[@JolynBowler]

Beautifully brillant ! 💙🌻💙

[@Thomas_Esson]

To clarify, the color of the faces was fully printed - no paint - according to multiple making-of sources. Though certainly the work of digital painters.

[@Thomas_Esson]

Interviews with director of character fabrication Georgina Hayns from Befores & Afters and Frame-io: GH: The faces were printed in color... It comes back with a base color, is it then hand painted again? GH: No, it’s printed with the entire color palette. We lay it all out and do it in a flat, and then that’s wrapped around. So you do texture paint the 3D model, which gets 3D printed? GH: Exactly. And the whole paint job is worked out. And what we did do for Pinocchio, which was really important, is that we got as close as we could and as happy with the faces, and then matched the paint job of the body to the faces. Because there was more ability for us to tweak our practical paint job than to do infinite tweaking with the facial technology. GH: The back of his body was metal printed and the front was 3D-printed plastic that was then painted. But his head was color-printed plastic, and the reason we had to do that is because of the wood grain and the expressions we needed him to make. We used the most high-end color printer we could so that the color is essentially animating and moving with the face...

[@jamesharvey805]

I came here to say just that! I can't believe Adam has made the same mistake across two videos now, and hasn't been corrected. To claim they're all individually hand painted is false, and attributes a fictionally vast amount of work that simply wasn't done. They were entirely 3D printed in colour!

[@Thomas_Esson]

@@jamesharvey805 While it indeed would have been nice if Tested had noticed the earlier correction, to be fair to Adam, in both cases the primary responsibility came down to the expert in the room neglecting to correct his understandable assumption. The curator and auction rep should have been well aware of the objects' clearly-documented construction, and it's odd that they were not.

[@rainbowtropolis]

It's amazing how much work goes into these movies, thank you for showing us these wonderful pieces! It really shows how much work goes into the movies even more than I thought it did! 😮🤯

Woah, I just watched that haha. What are the odds?

[@cornbeef]

So I remember seeing A Grand Day Out when I was young and it blew my head off! Since then I've loved everything that is stop animation and also regular animation. Seeing the different faces and imagining the scale of all the different heads and everything just blows my mind to this day, nearly 40 years later. I wish I had an artful eye and hand as I'd have been making my own stop motion movies my entire life if I could.

[@Craftix_Workshop]

Hey Adam! I was wondering if you can make one of those automaton bird boxes, thanks!

[@Confoundedjoe]

This is why Laika uses polyjet. Full color printing so no need to match by hand. They didn't have that on coraline for her freckles.

[@Thomas_Esson]

Same here with Pinocchio's faces; the color was fully printed.

[@Confoundedjoe]

@Thomas_Esson I haven't seen anywhere that they actually printed in full color including the wash they did. The body is actually metal.

no way she just said Gullara Motaro's Pinocchio 💀

[@davedaniels8211]

So what if she did ? You know what she meant .

[@nereafcr]

Well, she is suposed to be a highly trained profesional trying suposed know, maybe restore and preserve, and sell in auction very special and valuable pieces. IMO a very basic thing that she should know is how to properly name/pronounce what she is auctioning. If not....for me it brings down serioussness/study of the item. Imagine trying to buy a VERY expensive Iphone from some highly ranked in an Apple shop who it's calling it an Eptone: would yo trust that person to know what they are selling to you? I would not. We are not talking in a setting between friends or family, but a very technical/formal one.

[@76jmlaw]

a second per day? I know the process is very slow, but 1 second per day (with an 8 hours shift) is 20 minutes per shot. is it really that slow?

[@Thomas_Esson]

Depends how complicated the scene is; they can go faster if there are fewer moving elements in frame, but a lot of shots are crowded with characters, objects and set pieces all in motion simultaneously. But keep in mind that's per unit; they shot with dozens of units.
