I recently watched Guillermo del Toro’s “Frankenstein” and enjoyed it! I analyzed del Toro’s “Shape of Water” in high school and saw a lot of similarities in “Frankenstein.” Both focus on male “monsters” who find a connection with a human woman, who is the only one to accept them in modern society. I found the plot a bit plodding, but I did find the set and costume design in “Frankenstein” beautiful! I remember loving the lighting and set design (with color choices) in Shape of Water, and Frankenstein was much the same.
I think I would have enjoyed going to this session: “Crafting Guillermo del Toro’s 'Frankenstein'." I bet it would be interesting to hear the costume design and the production designer talk. I looked further into the set design, and found out the setting “Farthest North,” in the Arctic, was actually filmed in the parking lot of Netflix studio in Toronto. It was all visual effects that created the land of ice and snow. Icebergs were made from a styrofoam and silicone base covered in real snow and ice.
