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!

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

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.

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.

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

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). 😊

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 KZreads!

stop motion is an art in itself

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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 🤸🏻‍♀️

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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.

Thank you Adam for showing this!!! I haven’t seen the movie, but this opened my heart as a crafter. ❤ There is so much love and passion in every tiny piece. I wish I could come from Germany to New York just to see this exhibition.

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

Incredible artistry. Amazing

That's beautiful!the attention to detail and imagination everything unreal!!

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

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.

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.

Fascinating. Thank you!

Just absolutely impressive! Wow.

Magnificent! This video was lovely and gave me so much joy.

What a gorgeous exhibit! Thanks so much for the tour!

This deserves a national tour!!!

it is insane the amount of work on details.... what a wonderful episode

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

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

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!

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.

thanks for the tour

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.

Great episode showing how animation is done!!

So enjoyed this xx

Extraordinary. Good for MOMA.

Wow so cool, thanks so much for the tour

This is amazing to see

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.

This is amazing! I have to see this!

Wonderful!

Realy amazing! Cool!

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

Thank you so much for this!

The aesthetic of Guillermo is always out of this world.

Amazing film!!

This is so cool man. It really inspires me to do stop motion myself. I always loved the miniature set used in making these stop motion. Really wish I could be there to see all that beauty myself. Awesome video!

great episode

@@Unifiedesign Well idk, visual effects choices can work or they don't, the fact that something is stop motion or digital itself shouldn't matter as much. There's more labor in practical effects, but they don't always look better, and vice versa, sometimes a simple physical prop can be more realistic than some elaborate digital additions. My point is though, i don't think it's unfair or uneven to put these in the same category of Visual Effects, because that is still what they are, it's about how the effects are used. From a movie like Avatar, you expect the CGI to be good, because it fully relies on it, so there is also a lot that can go wrong. I do think it gets tricky when you want to categorize some movies, like, i remember having a discussion about the movie Gravity, because i was of the opinion that about 90% of the movie was CGI, it might as well also get an additional "Animation" label, because there was more animation and green screen going on than in Space Jam or Roger Rabbit. A Scanner Darkly is considered to be animated, even though it was recorded fully in live action but adding animated effect afterwards, but there was more live action recording than for Gravity. So i think they either have to keep it like it is, or split up the categories for specific techniques used. Kinda like what is happening with the other categories on the Grammies, or with labeling in general. The more you zoom into the labels, the more you find to distinguish from, but yeah, how far do you wanna go? I haven't kept up with most of the newer music genres, or social labels, i am fine with simpler umbrella terms.

For anybody confused by the first comment I’ll clarify. What hes really saying is….I prefer practical effects to computer generated effects. Obviously Avatar Way Of Waters effects are a staggering achievement of digital effects and can’t really be compared to practical effects in any shape or form due to the differences in technology, Two very different disciplines. But for people like dude above, CGI effects don’t really do it for them. And that’s totally ok. I personally enjoyed both films and i was blown away by the effects of both.

Joey, f**g fantastic filming, framing and editing here! I'm elated just looking at it.

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