Phil Tippett: My Life In Monsters (VICE)

If you haven't seen this, you simply must.    

Thanks for sharing that, I'd never seen it, Phil is a master of monsters and fx, glad he is still making stuff

When he describes showing up high as kite to work on ROTJ.

That's why the monsters all looked so cool, they were out of there minds , lol

that was really interesting. i felt for him whens he poured blood sweat tears into stopmotion then for spielberg (one of the biggest directors) no lets go with computers. i can see why he spiralled into depression

That was fantastic. It was a trip down memory lane, watching the old way of doing stuff.
"it means to suffer".

He is an incredibly interesting guy, and it says a lot that Spielberg allowed him to spend time setting up the infrastructure to try animating the dinosaurs in that way.
