Two-time Academy Award winning director Guillermo del Toro and his co-director Mark Gustafson join us to discuss their latest work — appropriately titled — “Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio.” Despite being stop-motion animation, the film features a rich sound design and complex mix. One which the directors had to fight for. “Mark [Gustafson] and I had to fight for the time that we needed on the mix board originally, because [for an] animated movie, they gave us a number of weeks. And we said, ‘no, we need more.’ Scott and I knew that our timing generally takes a little longer. But I think that we ended up understanding that we needed as many passes as a live-action movie — a big one — to reach simplicity. Which is very, very, very at odds. To be simple, we needed to elaborate the mix and make sure we were not mixing something superficial.” — Guillermo del Toro, Director, “Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio” Joining the discussion is sound supervisor Scott Gershin, along with re-recording mixers Frank A. Montaño and Jon Taylor, the latter of whom you may remember from our episode on BARDO from earlier this week: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PkKj5jlNpwk Be sure to check out “Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio,” now streaming on Netflix, in Dolby Vision® and Dolby Atmos®: https://www.netflix.com/title/80218455 Please subscribe to The Dolby Institute Podcast wherever you get your podcasts: https://linktr.ee/dolbyinstitute To learn more, visit: https://www.dolby.com/institute/ Connect with Dolby:  Visit the Dolby WEBSITE: https://www.dolby.com  Like Dolby on FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/Dolby/  Follow Dolby on TWITTER: https://twitter.com/Dolby  Follow Dolby on INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/dolbylabs/  Follow Dolby on LINKEDIN: https://www.linkedin.com/company/dolby-laboratories #GuillermodelToro #GDT #Pinocchio #Filmmaking #StopMotion #Animation #StopMotionAnimation #SoundDesign #SoundMixing #Dolby #DolbyAtmos
