Building Stop-Motion Masterpieces by Hand
Phil Tippett has spent a lifetime in the film industry, working as a model-maker, visual effects supervisor, director and stop-motion animator. He’s been involved with big-name productions such as Star Wars, Jurassic Park, and RoboCop among others. But his real passion lies in handmade stop-motion animation. For over 30 years, Tippett has been working on an incredibly detailed film called /”Mad God/”. He describes it as being set /”in a Milton-esque world of monsters, mad scientists and war pigs./” Amazingly, each character is painstakingly constructed by hand from foam, clay, latex and wire. Despite all the arduous toil, Tippett sees /”Mad God/” as a form of therapy and a way to reconnect with a time when special effects and animation were all done by hand.
