He does but the. Always comes across as a really pleasant and genuine chap. Though I suffer terribly myself from RBF, so I imagine people say the same about me being a grumpy swine :)
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.
Generally all CG effects companies capture on location data, including lighting references. They consolidate the lighting information into 2 spheres : a reflective mirror sphere for capturing environmental light sources, and a grey sphere for capturing incident light values. This has been a standard method since the early to mid 90's . A model reference might be used if it is available, for capturing specific shadow and ambient light details.
you're probably mixing the cgi from the practical effects... most close up shots and those that interact with the actors were practical, and the faraway running bugs were cgi...
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.
Thank god, I thought I was the only one on here that hated Norm. He seems to rub many people the wrong way in these videos, Frank in particular. The only silver lining is that there seems to be less videos featuring Norm these days, thank god!
So this thing we are looking at was really complex to make, totally revolutionized how cgi can be done, won a couple of oscars and literally started a totally new industry. The interviewer: that's neat.
He have probably done this type of tour 122847839387477839399848442 times😂 So he is tired of talking about it, or all the years of acid trips and shrooms, have taken it´s toll on him and reality is now boring to him? Or just annoyed of all super geeks, that drools all over his stuff and worshiping him for things he necessarily like or like talking about anymore. (as a artist in sculpting, painting and other types of art.. often you dont like your early stuff because you now, would do it much better job or do it differently!) or sad and misses the good old days ...just a excessive, over complicated, thought out theory that i spent way too much time writing in English😂
This was amazing for me. Just getting to see some of those models and hearing a bit of behind the scenes stuff. Thanks for putting this video up, more like this please! :)
This man must have the patience of a saint, I for one would have him pestered with thousands of questions and requests for details about the tiniest of the things, so many creatures in the background I love the Evolution movie and love all the little creatures, the man would most likely end up axe murdering me stopping at every single prop
I understand what he's describing with manipulating the 'points' to achieve a realistic looking animation, but I can also see how much effort he was putting in to try to make sure Will understood him. At one point the guy even gets a bit flustered. I think Will got it, but I can see how hard it might be to explain these concepts to someone.
yeah, as someone who dabbled in 3D animation, what he's talking about is the graph editor, which is kind of a pain but a necessary evil. And yeah, each keyframe's default is to have an exponential (slow approach, slow finish) curve to it so each keyframe seems unnaturally fluid. He's right that in real-life things move at different paces and there are more starts and stops.
That's not the full size, screen used ED209. Looks at screen caps and you can see the differences. I imagine they built two in case something happened to the hero version.
Did the full-size version of the ED-209 also come with machine guns? I mean, when ED is gunning down this guy in the board room, is that the model or animation.
At that price he should have directors and producers lined up out the door. Many drop a lot more money than that and never even get close to holding a statue.
Bob Dumawhity That's Phil Tippet. If you watch other interviews with him, you'll see that he behaves as if he doesn't like *anyone*. He's been working closely with Hollywood movie executives for around 40 years. That might have something to do with it.
For one thing, he didn't "create" it, he was just the visual effect director, and on that field of the film, the film exceed in it, even though it didn't in other aspects.
No he's not can he walk on water can he get rid of diseases and can he cure people no only the one true god in Israel and his one and only son can do that
Tippett is such a grumpy looking bugger, what a legend.
He HATES Jurrassic Park and CGI
probably because some kid keeps touching his stuff without care...😂😂😂

I could listen to Phil Tippett all day long.
He looks and sounds like Philip Seymour Hoffman.
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.
He took the torch from Ray Harryhausen.
Very well put
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.
Just saw the sequel and it's shit compared to the first one.
The effects put other movies made today with 10 times the budget, to shame!

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.
This is the best artist I can imagine. He draws, paints, sculpts, animates, directs. The Da Vinci of movies
Phil Tippett the Legend. Hats off to you sir. Without you, my childhood would have been a pale shadow of what it was.
His effects with a "touch" of CGI will always look amazing and never ages; thats something that is forgotten
Lol. He kept the money.
He was totally serious
I loved the Warrior bug. It was really one of, if not the last instantly recognizable movie monster.
A true true artist. This guy is so awesome it hurts.
Phil Tippet is right up there with Ray Harryhausen and Stan Winston in artistry and ingenuity. Gifted visionaries.
Phil Tippet is a madman and I love him for it
He pretty much has the coolest job imagineable

He looks pissed that Norm is touching his stuff.
Norm annoys the shit out of me.
Wouldn't you be? Go home Norm.
I audibly said out loud "don't TOUCH that" when he started messing with the model
@@jerkq Same here. "Hands off the stuff, kid"..lol.
Thank god, I thought I was the only one on here that hated Norm. He seems to rub many people the wrong way in these videos, Frank in particular. The only silver lining is that there seems to be less videos featuring Norm these days, thank god!
I love the simple but practical wood handles :)
So glad I sorted oldest to newest. It's crazy to see how far you guys have come! Right on
The beginning...I’ve never seen anyone pull off that level of deadpan face before. 😂
Phil: "Oh gawd - 'don't want to do this'- okay, let's go..meh"
This man made my childhood!
So this thing we are looking at was really complex to make, totally revolutionized how cgi can be done, won a couple of oscars and literally started a totally new industry.
The interviewer: that's neat.
the function curves comment was worth the whole interview.
Loving the AT AT in the background during the Jurassic Park section. Very nice.
I wish this was 3 hours long
"Thank you so much Phil, that was fantastic, I--it's very neat." *looks at camera*
"For a dollar"
I like this guy :)
Pretty cool stuff. Thou, Phil doesn’t look enthused
Nope.
He looks horny.

@@T.V_Outdoors he’s definitely not bored. He’s still working on his own stuff. Tired of nerds probably though
I love a house like that where you have your collectibles everywhere and keep the sun out.
All that stuff belongs in a museum.
This was amazing for me. Just getting to see some of those models and hearing a bit of behind the scenes stuff. Thanks for putting this video up, more like this please! :)
I’ve seen these a few times over the years and can’t believe it’s been 8 years. Still makes me laugh he took the money without any hesitation ha ha

Augustus Sutton
Haha! I was thinking the same thing. Really enjoyed evolution as well. I could spend days there and still not see everything
Tippett is really a Renaissance man, between stop motion armatures and motion capture for computer animation, and art and lighting.
He kind a looks like Da Vinci
I understand what he's describing with manipulating the 'points' to achieve a realistic looking animation, but I can also see how much effort he was putting in to try to make sure Will understood him.

probably cause he used to explain that to people that had zero knowledge.
Phil Tippett is a king maker👍🕴
Love all the Harryhausen/Danforth touches.
I wonder how much the AT AT is worth which is behind phil tippett whilst explaining jurassic park.
From what I've seen on ebay, I'd say at least 100k
6:41 It’s Absolutely incredible How You Can Go Watch Jurassic Park & it’s Genuinely Looks Good Even in Todays Standards it’s Very Impressive!!!!!!
I like how he’s leaning on his own gut.
That was TOTALLY worth every penny of that five dollars to hold that.
The Living Legend!
Phill Tippet is a GOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDDDD !!!
that ED209 prop looks small?..i know it's in the background but it looks smaller than the full scale prop i saw in the robocop making of featurette...
that look on Tippett's face in the first few seconds says it all
Phils face here ' great, more Star Wars virgins' 😂
Definitely
What a genius. Incredible!
I just want to hear them (both Phil and Adam) talking to each other.
Amazing! What a privilege!
That's not the full size, screen used ED209. Looks at screen caps and you can see the differences. I imagine they built two in case something happened to the hero version.
How this has only 2,200 upvotes I don't know. Look at all those models! ED209, RoboCop "2" (Kane), Starship Troopers bugs of all sorts!
Did the full-size version of the ED-209 also come with machine guns? I mean, when ED is gunning down this guy in the board room, is that the model or animation.
It's animation. You can tell from the motion.
the power of man's imagination.
Phils a pretty enthusiastic guy
ONE JOB, PHIL! ONE JOB!
from an animator's perspective, this was awesome :D
Id like to find out if they did any macques for the "gorilla suits" from Starship troopers the book by Heinlien!
Phil could learn to smile
Does he even want to be interviewed?
He probably wouldn't mind if it was anyone other than Norm..
Yeah, just takes a few questions and mins to get him going.
what type of prop is he hiding under his shirt?
0:51 DIANOGA!
Anyone else wonder if Phil moonlights as a Mall Santa?
Interesting that in the original Starship Troopers book the Bugs were actually wearing spacesuits.
Given the choice I'd take the AT-AT model... it must be worth a bundle.
At that price he should have directors and producers lined up out the door. Many drop a lot more money than that and never even get close to holding a statue.
Phil Tippett sounds like The Dude
He doesn't like you
so obvious! haha
It is because he keeps touching and fiddling with the warrior bug model. That ain't a toy kid!
He looks like my grandpa when he loses his taco XD
can't tell if this is also supposed to be a Star Wars reference...
Bob Dumawhity
That's Phil Tippet. If you watch other interviews with him, you'll see that he behaves as if he doesn't like *anyone*. He's been working closely with Hollywood movie executives for around 40 years. That might have something to do with it.
The GOAT
Phillaaaayy!
Please give this dude a hbo drama about his life.
I wonder what it would be if Adam were there with you guys.
wow. philll tippet amazing
Why does this guy not speak Tippet…poor Phil…needs someone on his level.
For one thing, he didn't "create" it, he was just the visual effect director, and on that field of the film, the film exceed in it, even though it didn't in other aspects.
great guys
Would you not go berserk with all those props
What was the prop at the end? It looks so familiar and I can't place it.
etothejtheta its the jetpack, battery backup for robocop
Phil Tippett looks like Charles Darwin.
phil looks like angry santa clause
Phil has fuckin had it!
I think it's Robocop's backpack from the third movie.
but the thing is that he actually is the movie director of starship troopers 2
"never rub another man's rhubarb"
Why the long face Phil?
did noone call hi out on his dinosaur wrangler failure in jurassic park?
No Star Wars questions??
Because a $1 is all those awards are worth.
He is a God... and also, Santa, apparently.
No he's not can he walk on water can he get rid of diseases and can he cure people no only the one true god in Israel and his one and only son can do that
Confirmed! You win an internet cookie.
45 sec in and the pimpin was way too strong :) :)
If only the screenwriters were as ingenious as the the tech people.
he actually kept the 5 bucks? wow
They call him, Mr. Tippit.
Every time I watch this is still feel it’s a very uncomfortable start to the video, I wonder if it was down to the many takes??
Id buy that..for a Dollar
Phil Tippett look pissed that norm is touching his collection. and will too. I hate when someone comes to my home and touch my collection.
hey Norm, no touch.
or did he?
I bet the t-Rex motion capture thing cost tons to make.
