I'm in college now and studying filmmaking, as well as writing (books and screenplys) and producing. This information helps, makes me want to create my own monster. That's why I love Guillermo del Toro. He's one of my favorite directors.
But you do have your own imagination, your own creativity and your own skill - aspects that are unique and specific to only you. So why be in his shadow when you already have your own shadow?! Don't waste your creativity on striving for absolute, pure perfection but instead do what comes naturally to only you.
That was interesting. A monster movie lives or dies on the monster. And it's character has to be developed just like everyone else in the movie. The scariest monsters are the ones that are unsympathetic and completely evil. The horror is just in being touched by them.
This! Guillermo del Toro, you rock! Do not let the initial box office results dismay you: Pacific Rim was incredible. I think next week you might make more money. But, if you don't make anymore..it's fine, because I know you've delivered the best summer movie anyone ever could. :)
I'm going to watch the movie again because e need more movies like Pacific rim this guy is really smart he learn English so fast I mean he was born in Mexico and start his career their is hard to learn other language when you already old
very fascinating, I think another important element is having some form of allusion to a human, the Pan's Labyrinth creature was especially spooky because it was humanoid and seemed like the result of a human suffering. Personifying evil is one of the best kinds of evil because it is scary in how relate-able it is. Granted, too much humanoid evil makes that kind of evil saturated and no longer scary.
Pacific Rim is one of my favourite movies of all time. It was brilliant. But I do agree, a few more fight scenes with the Chinese and Russian jaegers in combat would of been great, I feel they're part in the movie was over to fast, especially considering because they're the last of jaegers you'd think they must obviously be the best.
they are technically valid Sakurai recently made kid icarus uprising and is currently making Super smash bros. wii u and 3d Miyamoto is currently making pikman 3 and is developing a new franchise
pacific rim could have used atleast 1 or 2 more fight scenes. There was a total of only 3 full fight scenes in the movie. Showing different jaegers in action would have been awesome. I give this movie. A 9.5/10.
And I hope all of those touhou mary sue got slapped by my monster You got slapped! Reason: git your owner to not make more op thingy we are just oc not canon
:/ unfortunately, the kiaju in the promo behind him was the one I most identified as having the Godzilla head with boomerangs for nostrils. I saw the movie twice anyway ;)

Darnell Putman
Reference from nature and not from other movie monsters, got it.

AL5909 well that was the whole point

I love him so much. I am writing a fantasy novel and for me creating monsters is the hardest part. I wish I had his imagination and skill.

Epic characters. Epic story. Epic monsters. Epic battles.
This guy just has a lot of respect for movie making. Pacific Rim was awesome.
Such wisdom.
I love Guillermo. Awesome man.

Just rewatched Del Toros early masterpiece, 'Mimic'-twenty years old. Still scary.
The guy simply is a genius and he looks like a nice guy.
one my of my fav directors ever
How does Guillmero Del Toro manage to create creative,unique and cool looking monsters than Disney ever did?
THIS GUY MAKES MASTERPIECES.
Natural expressions? Interesting... Very interesting.

the CGI in this movie is the best I've ever seen.
awesome stuff, awesome director, seems like an awesome guy too
The good thing is that these advises are really good and will also still have the same truth once we got rid of this CGI era of movies.
You can't get rid of cgi in a kaiju movie
Fantastic i wish everyone would listen to this.
Great work
This lesson is a blessing!
I like that he references Ray Harryhausen a pioneer of monster creation in the days of stop motion animation. Look him up!
Awesome Director
I freaking love this man!
Great advice
I wished that movie monsters would focus more on props than cgi nowadays
RUclips recommend this amazing advice in 2019??!?!?!?
Well.. thanks and i wish i'll be as amazing as Guillermo Del Toro
amazing tips!!
Impossible not to like this guy
Very nice
Good stuff!
Jason and the Argonauts! Love those stop motion movies from Harryhausen.
and this is why movie monsters don't scare me... not enough of giant teeth and sets of jaws,,, XD
I setting up my own monster making studio next I,LL make them gory and lots of teeth.
This man is awesome.
Okay, this guy is a genius!!
Remember the monster with the eyes in its hands from Pan's labyrith, fucking creepy
The pale man you mean?
I wonder how many people noticed he was in Pacific Rim. I had a total nerdgasm, no lie.
The best director :)

Bravo Del Toro

en pocas palabras
UN CHINGON
Amazing

Love this movie
Hopefully some day we'll see Helboy 3!!!!
I want to hug Guillermo.
Words of a God.
Cool
Wish more Hollywood movies took this advice
Tell us more master!
maestro
Genius.
Because of your profile picture, I read that in Bane's voice.
thx
The master!
The best
El mejor!!
Pacific Rim is a fucking beast of a movie
they are technically valid
Sakurai recently made kid icarus uprising and is currently making Super smash bros. wii u and 3d
Miyamoto is currently making pikman 3 and is developing a new franchise
Sweet
The girl in your profile picture is the best and prettiest i have ever seen.
pacific rim could have used atleast 1 or 2 more fight scenes. There was a total of only 3 full fight scenes in the movie. Showing different jaegers in action would have been awesome. I give this movie. A 9.5/10.
Amen
why would you dislike something like this ?
He also just gave an art lesson! =]
ill listen to u instead of going to university if u make bonus scenes in the blue ray version lol
I got a feeling the box office will do better when it releases in Japan early August
If you think of all the movies that have came and dissapointed since 2010, hes god like.
tell us more master
this movie looks great an old godzilla movie mixed with gundam and power rangers
Unnecessary and distracting music
To fight the monsters we created monsters of are own
Teach us your magic
Funny how they made this movie from combining Godzilla with Gundam.
YOU!!!
if you're asking what influeced him for pacific rim?..if you are ,then one of the answers is animes he watched as a child.
I want this guy to make a Transformers movie
The main thing: You must have a fortune ... but end up making a low budget film like Timmy Turner and his friends ...
I’m making a zoo full of monsters
Holy fuck !! is it even possible to have a name that long ?
I made one actually pretty easy
And im using one in my series
And I hope all of those touhou mary sue got slapped by my monster
You got slapped!
Reason: git your owner to not make more op thingy we are just oc not canon
Who does this guy think he is trying to tell me what not to do in creating my monsters.
thanks for the tip Jesus
even so
he should be more clear next time
Masahiro Sakurai
and Shigeru Miyamoto
:/ unfortunately, the kiaju in the promo behind him was the one I most identified as having the Godzilla head with boomerangs for nostrils.
I saw the movie twice anyway ;)
What was he thinking in Don't Be Afraid of the Dark lol?
