- We visit one of our favorite effects shops, Phil Tippett Studio, where Phil is working on his stop-motion passion project, Mad God. Norm and Sean get an update on the status of the film, and stop by the studio's model shop to see how the team there is remaking two figures originally designed for Star Wars' holochess sequence!

Thanks for watching!

PhilsAttic right on Phil peace and love
Ray Sherlock i
Haha
This stuffs awesome, nice to see things off screen after and before movies
really cool work man
We just saw MAD GOD with Phil in attendence this last weekend . What an achievement!! Phil was very kind and generous and chatted with a bunch of us after the screening.
Yasss, God. Mad God. Oh, my God. I knew nothing of Phil's personal project. Will spread the word high and low, contribute what I can, just to make sure this happens. It's like a dream to have such a master of the art make pure art with it. Praise be.
Why do people have such opinions on how people are , everyone is different take people as they are , he's an artist !
Phil wasn't pissed off. Phil is always like that. Watch other videos.
I find it interesting the Phil has this default slightly annoyed/deadpan look about him. Not his fault and definitely not how he feels (he wouldn't have had all these interviews if he was genuinely annoyed at the interviews).
Great video, especially seeing Phil alone in his studio doing what he loves doing. 😁
Did someone lock the doors after the ESB wrap party at ILM??? If so I think Phil may have still be working. Norm clearly just stumbled on this bearded Ben Gunn type character who's been
locked in a warehouse for 38 years.
That's our man, Phil -- so chilled and at home. They're in his cave and he's the king.
The 1/6th scale seamless latex bodies with steel armatures that Phil is using are made by Phicen. There are male and female versions. They also come in different body types. They are compatible with most 1/6th scale clothing and accessories. Though keep in mind if you buy the body builder male body you need to buy clothing that will fit because it is bigger than most normal 1/6th scale figures.
Ain't Phil Tippett who fucked up on looking after the dinosaurs in Jurassic park, Dammit Phil, one job!
his one job is making creatures for movies not caretaking history.
oh no it's a joke on his profession Title in the credits as Dinosaur Supervisor. obviously it meant he supervised the special effects for the creatures but people like to read it as he was supervising the actual exctict animals in the movie and (jokingly) put blame on him for the entire plot XD
Mad God looks amazing!
Cinema history. Glad to see Phil not just still kicking but high kicks too. Nice surrounding team.
What an interesting guy would love to look round his studio
can the 3d prints be accessed online?
Had to go buy the first 2 parts of Mad God right away and those were - gorgeous - and - fuuuuun. Thanks!
I was in a store about a block from ILM and noticed Dennis Muren looking at 35mm items that later turned out to be for the mine car chase in Temple of Doom. One could hardly go anywhere in Marin without running in to Lucas and these other guys.
I wonder how much each of those figures cost per unit
Good ol Phil, he always has that slight look of distain on his face when forced to talk on camera.
Phil Tippett, no fucks given. LOL
Love to see how Kayte works.
I hadn't heard about MadGod, and thrilled to get more info... A $600 buy-in for both chess pieces, plus other loot. Not a bad deal, if you have the money.
I can't wait to see his movie!
I used that Phicen 1/6 scale body for my Hot Toys Bane kitbash. Fantastic product.
Sean is getting better at interviewing on camera
Why are people saying he looks pissed? He looks fucking normal...
Because the majority of RUclips commenters are complete assholes, who just want to bash someone, so they can feel better about their own shit lives.
no, you dumb shit
I don't think he looks pissed just looks like he is uncomfortable in front of a camera.
Moderator best example right here :D
I want these figures so bad! Wish I had $600 to waste on these, but unfortunately not.
Where is he with mad god? Can u watch the first two parts?
Phil seemed to be.. annoyed/bothered? I dunno.. But if you like him, check out the story he tells about doing LSD while working on Star Wars. No wonder those movies were so good ;)
guys go easy on Phil he's in hist studio doing shit, I hate it when people ask about what I'm doing in the studio
Does anyone know what the pre made armatures are that Phil was using?
www.ebay.com/p/Jiaoudol-1-6-Pom-Female-Steel-Stainless-Figure-Body-Suntan-Large-Bust-Model/1342454166
They where making multiple chess figures
Where can I buy them ???
Wonderful!
Thank you Phil!
What is the name of those pre made armatures?
Would like to check it out.
Thanks
It's great to see this stuff
Are the 3D prints of these available? I'd love to get my hands on a pair for my dejarik collection.
Phil has a Jan Svankmajer beard and Quay brother hair. Very fitting.
Any chance for a 3D scan so I can 3D print these models?
So, how is that updated indepth tour of Adams workshop/prop room coming along?
0:46 it sounds like he is calling him "Filth"
LMAO
That looks awesome.
Where can you get those figures at 17:11? Would love to check them out.
He's using Phicen bodies?
Colin Morgan yep, Phicen!
+ Colin Morgan - Phicen bodies are so cool and realistic, Love the realism!!
That's the Phicen body right? Looks really well made for the price! Might have to pick one up...
i thought the whole point of phican was to have anatomically correct figures ie hve genitals and this fig had none (unless tippet modified it to be smooth down there)
I dunno. I did a quick Google and it seems there's Phicen bodies without genitalia, at least for the men.
makes sense then. i only saw the females due to most figure modifers i seen using females.
There are Phicens without genitalia for men only. The only Phil has came neutered.
I always love seeing behind the scenes of stuff like stop motion, it's so cool and it would be amazing if films used it more than they do cgi, cgi's so bland compared to it, no magic.
Yay Kayte!
Very cool😮
Link to Mesh files ? ;)
The video shows half of the Bulbus mold being made, with the model in a clay to delineate the halves. But how is the other half made?
I believe they remove the clay half and spray a release on the latex half to prevent the second half of the mold fusing to the first when it's being poured
he didnt really want to talk but everyone has grumpy days
I've been using decimate in Blender for years, its a great tool.
OK Norm, where did you get your Atari CX40 joystick exploded view T-shirt?! So want one!
Nice Jack Burton shirt Sean!
want to know how zbrush works check out the BubblegumMonsters on RUclips he does tutorials on it
What is the Kickstarter page?
www.kickstarter.com/projects/madgod/phil-tippetts-mad-god-part-3
15:40 - "Closhet" glasses?? what is the spelling of that word anyone please?? :)
cloche
He should put mad god on netflix.
You can purchase the three parts on madgod.com way worth watching!!
Phil doesn't like Norm? In all of Norm's interviews, it seems that Phil is really annoyed.
Phil seems a little pissed that he's been scratch building all of his gear as a loved art form for 40+ years, and now someone is mass producing it all to the point that he has relented and begun to use them himself!
Ryan Roberts, you do know its a reward for a project he is working on, im pretty sure if he wanted he could just not have done it as a reward, also he commented saying he wasn't pissed
Yep, fully aware of what it is! Doesn't stop him from looking pissed though!
I thought on the contrary, he seemed excited. Any excuse not to use a wire armature for some quickly made throwaway model when you can't justify spending a few days machining one is a good excuse, because it will just increase the quality of animation.
But then, i don't have much of a facial expression most of the time either.
That's really cool.
Sean's shirts are sometimes the best part of the videos. Big Trouble in Little China Shirt. Kind of sad it wasn't a tank top. ha ha. Phil Tippett would be the best Boss. No B.S. I admire that.
Back here 4 yrs later- Mad God is the worst f**kin movie I’ve ever seen. It’s my Favorite. I’m enamored with it.. I Have to Watch It Again, and probably several more times.
To understand Phil and Norm's relationship watch the Twilight Zone episode 'The Encounter'.
Seems like a nice guy to me
Proof that Norm can say the "U" in figure.
More content with Kayte please!
So wait, where did he get those pre built armatures?
www.ebay.com/p/Jiaoudol-1-6-Pom-Female-Steel-Stainless-Figure-Body-Suntan-Large-Bust-Model/1342454166
Bulbous.
No links to kickstarter ?
"UM" is not a word!! oh lord......
Sounds like The Dudes brother. "His dudeness, duder, or el dudorino"
Would be great to have a set of replicas of the screen used holochess pieces! Possibly pipecleaner bodies just for fan posing - static painted resin statues would still sell either way. I assume the digital files from Frank's build still exist so a 3D print could serve as an accurate master for each!
you lost me at decimation of polygons
These guys need to add the word "retopology" to their vocabulary.
Look on his face: what the heck are you guys here wasting my time for?
I don't think Phil likes people very much
How on earth could you possibly make that determination from an interview about a 40-year-old project that didn't make much of an impression on him? It's possible to be reserved or not particularly peppy in front of a camera without being a complete misanthrope.
is it just me or does Sean look like David Hayter?
Something is going on between those two at 10:02.
Brian Bagnall what are you talking about
Trying to say this as nice as possible but the finished product looks like something from a kids school art class ( 8-10 year olds)
Those are some talented kids then. You show me a video made by 5th graders like that and I'll show you kids with a promising future.
Well hello Kayte...
Zbrush and decimation - It's just a button ^^
Dejarik
the intro use to say Jamie and Adam tested now it just says Adam tested. does Adam own tested? i figured norm and will did.
john bryant Well Adam owns it or at least is a main part of it at this point. I dont think Adam and Jamie wanted to keep working together after the end of Myth busters
Very cool! I need a girl who can use a Dremel and Xacto Knife! I mean she has to have her own, not use mine though. lol
I aint picky, I'll let her use mine.
As long as she is cute
* Insert dirty "Use my Dremel"-jokes here * ;)
God damnit Norm - stop answering your own questions!
Why does he need people donating on a Kickstarter Account, for his own personal fun ( 'Mad God' film), when by looking up his net worth, it shows it at approximately 5 million dollars ?
Bulbous...
body language is super defensive. basically, grumpy
The ears? the thing looked two headed to me.
Anyone else think that Phill was pissed off?
yeah but he gave his best, that's cool
He seems the same way in other videos, I don't think it's anything personal, Norm does his best. I'm sure he's not that fussed, but I appreciate him giving some insight.
remixnick yeah I respect him as an artist and appreciate what he's doing, but maybe a little smile would be nice
The Hing - Believe it or not, some people don't grin stupidly all the time just for the benefit of others. Respecting him as an artist is great and all, but how about respecting him as a person and not expecting that he change his demeanor to be more pleasing to you?
he looks suicidal.
I wish phill was my dad......
Team Skrimp lol
Phil Tippet is very Rude, it's like all these nerds spend too much time indoors making tiny models, they have lost touch with people. Always very grumpy, almost never smiles and very unwelcoming!
A true patriot!
get some contacts. jesus
She called the excess material seaming I've always been taught that it's called flash
Not first
actually first though
Tippet defiantly doesn't like explaining his art.
sorry, but looks like a cheep washed out bad toy.....
again??? booooooooooring
Love Phil Tippett, but he always looks like he doesn't care at all
Norm has this effect
phil always seems so unimpressed with these guys and annoyed that he is doing these videos.
