Tippett Studio Tour: Starship Troopers, Jurassic Park, and Robocop

Tippett is such a grumpy looking bugger, what a legend.

Just watched Light and Magic on Disney this man is an absolute legend.

Phil's explanation of "the transitional dinosaur" for Jurassic Park is worth the price of admission.

I could listen to Phil Tippett all day long.

I love the courage Phil Tippet shows when he shares some of the experiences of his personal life along with industry insights. He also has no peers when it comes to his craft.

2:50 and that's why the cgi in Starship Troopers looked so good even today. They went outside. I know some digital companies still do it but hose that actually make the effort like this end up looking better for it.

This is the best artist I can imagine. He draws, paints, sculpts, animates, directs. The Da Vinci of movies

Lol. He kept the money.

His effects with a "touch" of CGI will always look amazing and never ages; thats something that is forgotten

Phil Tippett the Legend. Hats off to you sir. Without you, my childhood would have been a pale shadow of what it was.

Phil Tippett is to VFX what John Williams is to scores. His work will be remembered and lauded, just like Johns, long long after he's gone because he is the best at what he does. I absolutely adore his work - and I have nothing to do with the film industry or anything like that. I'm just a long time film fan (I'm 53) and Phils work has permeated every movie I've ever loved and watching the docs on how he understands how things need to be done for them to work on screen is just amazing. A lifetime achievement award from all the powers that be should be given. A brilliant man.

He pretty much has the coolest job imagineable

I loved the Warrior bug. It was really one of, if not the last instantly recognizable movie monster.

He looks pissed that Norm is touching his stuff.

This man is what made Star Wars what it is today. George has the nerve to sell the franchise they created. Meaning Ralph, Dennis, Phil, Rich, Rick, An Ben with John's score. I hope George compensated them after the sale. Beyond a complimentary beer. Remember everyone. Who knows what the TSR fans will do when they're no longer here.

Phil: "Oh gawd - 'don't want to do this'- okay, let's go..meh"

Phil Tippet is a madman and I love him for it

A true true artist. This guy is so awesome it hurts.

The beginning...I’ve never seen anyone pull off that level of deadpan face before. 😂

Phil Tippet is right up there with Ray Harryhausen and Stan Winston in artistry and ingenuity. Gifted visionaries.
