Mad God

posted January 14, 2014 #

You know Phil Tippet. That's not a question. You know him without knowing him. He worked on the stop motion animation for Empire Strikes Back, Return of the Jedi, Robocop and advised heavily on Jurassic Park. He's maybe not been on your radar as much recently because of the proliferation of computer fueled animations in contemporary film but that doesn't mean he hasn't been working.

His latest endeavor is a personal project he started back in 1990 but dropped due to work obligations. Now, thanks to a new generation of traditional animation students and a successful Kickstarter, the project is back. Mad God is " fully practical stop-motion film set in a Miltonesque world of monsters and mad scientists." That is to say.. it's dark but in the absolute best way possible.
