Phil Tippett studio in Berkeley closing; memorabilia and movie props up for grabs
https://www.cbsnews.com/sanfrancisco/news/phil-tippett-studio-in-berkeley-closing-memorabilia-and-movie-props-up-for-grabs/Phil Tippett is a genius of stop-motion animation and special effects, and I think it's fair to compare him with Ray Harryhausen. His work would be familiar to "Star Wars" fans, and it's important to acknowledge other aspects of his long career, the breadth of his experience, and how influential he's been on filmmaking.
Phil Tippett was also a guiding figure at a pivotal moment in the advance of CGI. He brought his animation skills to give life-like movement to dinosaurs in "Jurassic Park". He was credited as the Senior Dinosaur Supervisor, and was the subject of the "You had just one job" meme.
Sad that Tippet Studios was bought-out in 2024 and the company has now filed for bankruptcy. But it's also a relief to see that although Phil Tippett has now officially retired, he says he's going to keep making art.

Phil Tippett ("You had one job!") being interviewed about major influences, such as learning from Ray Harryhausen, that shaped his career of creating stop-motion animation for feature films:
'I took LSD when I was working on "Return of the Jedi". I could communicate with my cat, Brian, and Brian took me on a journey. I crawled into this cupboard with Brian the cat, and we went to the centre of the Earth for like three billion years. And it was just in this world of molecules and it was fine. It was like very calming. And so I decided to go back to work. And so I was at ILM, and I walked into like the the blue-screen stage and it's like this huuuuge -- everything just just super-illuminated bright blue and I was just like, "Ah, I took like way too much!"'
