Guillermo Del Toro’s Pinocchio

From August 2021 to July 2022, I worked as a Stop-Motion Animator on Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio. The animation was done in Portland, Oregon at ShadowMachine, and the film received the 2023 Oscar for Best Animated Feature. I was responsible for animating a variety of hero shots, background elements, and dialogue tests. For each shot, I would film video reference of myself or coworkers acting out the scene to help achieve a better sense of realism.
