Oscar-winning filmmaker Guillermo del Toro has shared his eight rules of animation. While for most people, Guillermo del Toro is viewed as a live-action filmmaker, this misperception was corrected with the Netflix release of Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio.
In fact, it was stop-motion that set him on the path to become an acclaimed director responsible for The Shape of Water, Pan’s Labyrinth, and Pacific Rim. "The funny thing is that I made the transition from stop-motion to live action," he reveals. "I started learning [how to be a filmmaker] by making animated shorts and still have the stop-motion camera that I bought in my hometown [of Guadalajara, Mexico]."
