Interview with @ChrisMorley in #Wired on the VFX for #Hemingway&Gellhorn by #Tippett (Taken with instagram)
Philip Kaufman will be holding a Master Class at this years Cannes Film Festival along with a screening of his new film Hemingway & Gellhorn.
I would LOVE to be at Cannes this year to not only hear Phil speak, but see H&G in all it’s film glory. Last time I saw it was one of the early edits where it was about 3 hours long. After that, I worked on the Visual Effects over at Tippett and got to see all the VFX magic being made by the guys and gals at Tippett under the eye of VFX Sup CMO (Chris Morley).
If you are in France, do yourself a favour and listen to Phil talk. He is a pioneer with vision and a love for film and its craft. He is a true film artist. Someone I am lucky to now, thanks to H&G, know.

Prehistoric Beast

Phil Tippett’s Prehistoric Beast is now available to watch on You Tube….
This stop motion short film, made in a garage in 1984, was the catalyst that launched the wild idea of creating an independent business whose sole purpose was to create animation for movies. And so began Tippett Studio (where I now work).
Phil sort of had an inkling that Dinosaurs might be once again popular as PB preceded a wave of popular interest in dinosaurs spurred on in 1990 with the publishing of Michael Crichton’s book, Jurassic Park and the subsequent blockbuster movie by Steven Spielberg in 1993.
