Star Wars, RoboCop, Jurassic Park and Starship Troopers are just some of the projects Phil Tippett has left his indelible mark on. The visual effects supervisor famously navigated a major transition in the visual effects industry from practical effects – in which he had specialised in stop-motion animation – to the digital world we are so familiar with today.
Soon Tippett will be sharing this journey at FMX in Stuttgart, Germany, as part of a Then & Now series of talks I’m co-ordinating at the conference. His talk is called ‘Lessons in Motion: “Star Wars” to “Starship Troopers”, and Beyond’ and will take place on Friday April 27th. There’s also going to be a screening the night before of MAD GOD, Tippett’s return to the world of stop-motion.
Right now, vfxblog has this special gallery featuring Tippett’s work from over the years in film – from humble beginnings through to major effects blockbusters. Enjoy, and hope to see you at FMX.
