@MasterCyconide @pinocchiomovie Thank you :-)

A sequences I lit for Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio. It’s Pinocchio’s first appearance as a living wooden boy. I love being able to light sequences like this. Shafts of light allow you to create so much drama. #stopmotion #film #cinematography

@oolongcreama @pinocchiomovie @RealGDT Haha yes it makes a big difference to the look of the puppet but also how much set you need. I like to choose the lens creatively but sometimes you have to work with the set you’ve got :-)

[Laura Howie @LawH]

I took some behind the scenes pictures of Volpe to demonstrate what each of the lenses do to the characters and to the space around them.

@otherhappyplace @pinocchiomovie @RealGDT Thank you. Our characters in stop motion tend to have exaggerated features so the lenses can really enhance this.

@NosyDr @RealGDT @pinocchiomovie Thank you :-)
