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!

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.

@shelleynobleart 7 лет назад

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.

@davidvalentine3630 7 лет назад

Why do people have such opinions on how people are , everyone is different take people as they are , he's an artist !

@temporarymomentary 7 лет назад

Phil wasn't pissed off. Phil is always like that. Watch other videos.

@1TakoyakiStore 4 года назад

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. 😁

@MrChief101 7 лет назад

Cinema history. Glad to see Phil not just still kicking but high kicks too. Nice surrounding team.

@buildplay2302 4 года назад

That's our man, Phil -- so chilled and at home. They're in his cave and he's the king.

@EthanfromEngland- 7 лет назад

Mad God looks amazing!

@1bytesnack369 7 лет назад

Had to go buy the first 2 parts of Mad God right away and those were - gorgeous - and - fuuuuun. Thanks!

@darthmong7196 6 лет назад

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.

@tylerhensley2312 7 лет назад

I can't wait to see his movie!

@MrJasonvc2004 7 лет назад

It's great to see this stuff

@emiliolopez2023 6 лет назад

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.

@boomerhgt 2 года назад

What an interesting guy would love to look round his studio

@kennyk4134 7 лет назад

That looks awesome.

@CragScrambler 7 лет назад

Good ol Phil, he always has that slight look of distain on his face when forced to talk on camera.

@scottsonnenberg 7 лет назад

Phil Tippett, no fucks given. LOL

@burtpanzer Год назад

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.

@temporarymomentary 7 лет назад

I used that Phicen 1/6 scale body for my Hot Toys Bane kitbash. Fantastic product.

@WiredFly 6 лет назад

Wonderful! Thank you Phil! What is the name of those pre made armatures? Would like to check it out. Thanks

@swsephy 7 лет назад

Why are people saying he looks pissed? He looks fucking normal...

@OptimusGPrime 7 лет назад

Because the majority of RU-vid commenters are complete assholes, who just want to bash someone, so they can feel better about their own shit lives.

@youtube_moderator 7 лет назад

no, you dumb shit

@user-neo71665 7 лет назад

I don't think he looks pissed just looks like he is uncomfortable in front of a camera.

@sammyblaze4234 6 лет назад

Moderator best example right here :D

@slikrx 7 лет назад

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.

@PedroDavidMoran 5 лет назад

OK Norm, where did you get your Atari CX40 joystick exploded view T-shirt?! So want one!

@spacecowboy4753 4 года назад

Are the 3D prints of these available? I'd love to get my hands on a pair for my dejarik collection.

@Derek-jp4my 6 лет назад

I want these figures so bad! Wish I had $600 to waste on these, but unfortunately not.

@MrPuff1026 7 лет назад

can the 3d prints be accessed online?

@evil1knight 7 лет назад

he didnt really want to talk but everyone has grumpy days

@peterthoms2725 5 лет назад

Where can you get those figures at 17:11? Would love to check them out.

@Bunjamin27 7 лет назад

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 ;)

@zangeejoe 4 года назад

Where is he with mad god? Can u watch the first two parts?

@dornr50 7 лет назад

0:46 it sounds like he is calling him "Filth"

@c0l1n_m45 4 года назад

@ficklampa 7 лет назад

That's the Phicen body right? Looks really well made for the price! Might have to pick one up...

@KaltatheNobleMind 7 лет назад

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)

@ficklampa 7 лет назад

I dunno. I did a quick Google and it seems there's Phicen bodies without genitalia, at least for the men.

@KaltatheNobleMind 7 лет назад

makes sense then. i only saw the females due to most figure modifers i seen using females.

@serasniketa9128 7 лет назад

There are Phicens without genitalia for men only. The only Phil has came neutered.

@Johny40Se7en 7 лет назад

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.

@mauimudpup 7 лет назад

Nice Jack Burton shirt Sean!

@christophercook8 7 лет назад

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?

@ineptginger5238 7 лет назад

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

Ain't Phil Tippett who fucked up on looking after the dinosaurs in Jurassic park, Dammit Phil, one job!

@djmips 7 лет назад

his one job is making creatures for movies not caretaking history.

@KaltatheNobleMind 7 лет назад

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

@greggh.748 Месяц назад

Phil doesn't like Norm? In all of Norm's interviews, it seems that Phil is really annoyed.

@ilikenothingtoo 7 лет назад

Proof that Norm can say the "U" in figure.

@harrisonhayes1232 7 лет назад

He should put mad god on netflix.

@finnstarkey7251 5 лет назад

You can purchase the three parts on madgod.com way worth watching!!

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.

@GeeksThroughoutTime 7 лет назад

Any chance for a 3D scan so I can 3D print these models?

@JurassicCollectables 7 лет назад

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!

@mrbear9973 7 лет назад

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)

@jasondashney 5 лет назад

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.

@jboy27 7 лет назад

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.

@SoftEndy 7 лет назад

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

@strebornayr 7 лет назад

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!

@JBzucc 7 лет назад

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

@strebornayr 7 лет назад

Yep, fully aware of what it is! Doesn't stop him from looking pissed though!

@SianaGearz 6 лет назад

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.

@skagerstrom 7 лет назад

God damnit Norm - stop answering your own questions!

@abiprzeradowska2883 6 лет назад

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 ?

@michaelsimons8990 7 лет назад

@DannyDevitooo 7 лет назад

I don't think Phil likes people very much

@sharkysharkerson6656 7 лет назад

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.

@HarryGeorgeS 7 лет назад

Anyone else think that Phill was pissed off?

@agseba124 7 лет назад

yeah but he gave his best, that's cool

@remixnick 7 лет назад

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.

@HarryGeorgeS 7 лет назад

remixnick yeah I respect him as an artist and appreciate what he's doing, but maybe a little smile would be nice

@sharkysharkerson6656 7 лет назад

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?

@MindGem 7 лет назад

he looks suicidal.

@rockyBalboa6699 2 года назад

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!
