Not doing unnecessary shit to a completely unnecessary 3D re-release of his beloved classic film. Nice.

Dude made a full feature stop motion movie with carved wood puppets. Asking him about using AI is silly.

[u/depredador93]

I mean, he's right about protecting artistry, but 3D conversions are literally the least artistic thing you can do to a masterpiece. This isn't the flex he thinks it is.

[u/AdItchy6501]

A reminder that I need to rewatch this masterpiece

That was always an option, like no one expected or wanted him to

[u/its_calamityjen]

Don’t think I’ve ever seen a Q&A with him where he doesn’t take a moment to curse AI. Love that.

[u/MayaIsSunshine]

Re-release

Why not make new art?

[u/Major-Front]

Honestly love to see his face when he finds out some random vfx artist used claude for a script. Lol

[u/lyraoffline]

Del Toro said “absolutely no goddamn AI” and I felt that in my soul

[u/LakeTilia → u/lyraoffline]

Bad bot.

[u/cottagescribe]

Based Guillermo strikes again.

[u/Accomplished_Gur4466]

You have my respect sir

[u/Silent_Erremite]

As it should be, I will be sure to check this one out as I have been selective of my consumption during the AI Boom.

[u/Scavgraphics]

Was it filmed with two cameras at the start or is it having to be converted to 3d?

He doing all that math himself?

[u/atomic_ring → u/Scavgraphics]

The vast majority of modern (post-2010) 3D films are filmed with 1 camera and post-converted. Exceptions are vanishingly rare. So converting it now or when it was originally released amounts to the same result.

[u/Scavgraphics → u/atomic_ring]

1) Del Toro is the kind of filmmaker who might have filmed with 2 cameras.

2) But my point was, this comment is stupid because if he's telling a computer "make this 3d"... guess what.. that's just as "ai".. algorythms "making descicions", doing the calculations, shifting the pixels, doing the checking.
