Meet Phil Tippett and his Mad God
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 чер 2012
- Norm takes you behind the scenes of special effects pioneer Phil Tippett's Mad God project. Phil, who worked on Star Wars, Robocop, and Starship Troopers, has been making the stop motion shot film for over 20 years. Mad God is his masterpiece, and this is a rare look at the models and props that Phil has collected over the years for the project.

After hearing him talk about not constraining himself to a schedule and just going wherever he wants with the plot, I'm shocked this this ever got finished. There are so many creatives who will work on their "dream project," until the day they die because the scope keeps changing and they don't constrain themselves to any direction or time schedule. Props to Phil for actually finishing a project like that
That’s the point of passion projects. They may never be finished but all the more important to the creators themselves.
And for keeping at it that long, when the ending seems like it may come to fruition. Impressive tenacity
10 years later and this has FINALLY released! It’s fantastic. Really jaw dropping and beautiful- in a grotesque nightmarish way. Not a conventional ‘movie’ in that the story, if there even is one, is really open to interpretation. There is a narrative shift that is pretty jarring and occurs about half way through and that’s when things get really weird. If I was to glean anything from the film I might take it as Phil’s very dim view of the human condition. The various monsters and hellish environments the assassin(s) travel through are sometimes (but not always) obvious metaphors for the variety of horrors that exist in our own world. Ultimately, this is more about the experience of the visuals (and sound!) and the feelings it provokes. It’s a work of art.
Really a work of art indeed. Also I think this is a kind of film that you can watch every year again, like a Christmas film. But maybe without your grandchildren :)
Beautifully put mate
I started watching it and it's the first time since I was a kid in the 80s that my mind was opened and stimulated while watching a film.
i recently bought the dvd for this, and ive watched it 5 times this week, and im still not bored
It's finally coming!
20 years. Mental.
@@Vertexnine 30, this was 9 year ago he said 20 years.
@@Mathadar My god
Got my ticket to see next week. Amazing dedication to complete this after so many years.
I was already traumatized by the trailer 😖😣
just watched Mad God last night, the clock sound effects in this set still lingers on me... Thank you Phil!
The wheezing sound of the clock ticking down and then speeding up again in the panic of realisation was so good
HA same! The evil sad Diinig Diiing DIING dIIIng
Another 10 years and I've just seen it. Unimaginable effort has gone into this project, bravo!
- and on the part of such an absurdly talented man.
10 years later...I just got back from seeing it at an independent theater and it was amazing! It was bizarre, gross, enthralling, jaw-dropping, stunning...it was a mind-boggling epic!
Cant believe I am seeing this video made 11 years ago after I watched the movie and seeing how Phil talks about what he is going to do and how it panned out. So awesome
14:05 Phil has a portrait of himself, wearing the same clothes he always does. I like these old guys who seem to be boring, but are actually incredibly imaginative and innovative. Kind of a neat paradox, to observe sometimes...
A creative person is often a complex person. You might enjoy reading Creativity by Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi :D
Wow, crazy! Just scrolling through the comments, and realizing that this video is 10 years old! Just saw the film, and searched for some interviews etc. Really a masterpiece btw!
Holy heck this is now 9 years old? I just saw the trailer for it which premieres in 3 days!
Where tho. I been looking for it. I cant find it anywhere
@@dirkz.duggitz1567 amc+ in june
@@younghannibal7434 good look. I'll keep n eye out
it has been out for 9 years. it was a short film, he cut it together as a long movie. it was a series of short films.
Amazing to watch this after just seeing it in theatres. Incredible film
Who’s here 30 years later & finally we have a trailer !!! I only have been on earth 2 years long than this man has been working on one project … let that sink in. I heard my what at the time I thought was my nerdy cousin, who later I realized was my cool cousin talking about this when we watched empire. Telling me one of the guys who “made the Ton Ton’s” was working on his own movie. I was 5 & never forgot. I actually thought I made it up. Glad it’s finally coming !!!
Watching this, I was curious and looked at the upload date: _2012!_
I'm glad I only just saw this now, _after_ having watched the film. Waiting an entire decade would have driven me nuts...
I can't believe this is from ten years ago. Amazing that it's finally complete
I watched this tested eps when it came out. Now I've seen mad gods. Now I have to watch this again.
Back again after the teaser. See you in 10 years for perfection.
Love it. I can't wait for Mad God.
Can’t believe it’s here. I want it on DVD!
Harryhausen and Tippett are the two titans of stop motion. Any animator would step over their mother to work with him. Interesting to hear that he doesn't feel that it's important to shoot every shot himself. I thought this was a very personal project. Unfettered Tippett. But it's more than that. I guess it started off as a very personal project, but he's opened it up to collaboration. The main question I would ask is, why so nightmarish? From what I know of Tippett, he has been somewhat burnt by Hollywood and is an intelligent and perhaps cynical man. And maybe that explains it. But he seems to be tapping into a level of darkness that I left behind as a teenager. And perhaps I'm poorer without it.
10 years in the future here. This movie just came out last year and it is amazing. Good work on it.
Just watched it... It's a masterpiece. So moving, grotesque and beautiful
I doubt Mad Gods gonna be a short story,it's gonna be a long epic that has many chapters to it,I can't wait! :)
Neo Valis it’s been a few years and there’s only 2 parts
@@miaflores6655 Now there´s 3 xDxD
You've waited a long time
@@miaflores6655 the movie is confirmed to be 80 minutes long and its estimated 60% of the movie is unseen footage adding onto parts 1,2, & 3,
just watched it, its awesome
imagine having the chance to work with this guy together on a project
Just saw this in theaters! What a nightmarish beautiful piece of work!
After just seeing Mad God for the first time, this video is epic!
I just watched Mad God part 1 and all I can say is WOW! It really is a one of a kind experience and I enjoyed every second of it. I need more!
+Wade Woodring Where did you find it? I didn't think it had been released?
* Edit- Nevermind, I just found it : )
Part 2 just dropped not long ago! WooHoo!!
Part 3 is out soon too. I just finished watching part 2 (about 5 minutes ago). It's pretty expensive for what you get though; part 1 is 10 minutes and part 2 is 15 minutes, which cost $15.
Where can I find it? (asking before searching srry)
I funded his kickstarter to get it made and he has released the first two parts. :)
Mad Genius is Phil!
I love his imagination and creations..
Some of those props are the coolest fucking things I've ever seen in my life and hearing him talk about everything makes me excited to go make things. Definitely gonna check this out now that I know about this.
Also Norm forever
I cannot wait to see this!!!
Oh wow. From when this video was posted they were already talking about its release.... Good to know it's now actually getting that long awaited release lol
This honestly sounds amazing. I can't wait to see it!
I can't wait too.
Man I hope you’re still alive to see it
did you like it?
I swear. Every video I watch with Norm in it, at some point he pisses me off by grabbing something out of someone's hands or off something without asking. Man, does that drive me nuts.
yes, disrespectful
Tyler Messer 11:31
first time seeing him in a vid, but yeah, this little grab pierces right through social etiquette .
I though it was just me that found him unbearable. The way he asks questions is also very rude - can't put my finger on why it's annoying.
@@yousifdelvalle4162 I know. That guy. Haha
I love the way he smiles and swing his head and arms when he talks
and it's finally coming out!
This movie felt like peering directly into someone 's dream or more accurately, nightmare. 10/10!
Damn this was 10 years ago. And it was worth the wait imo.
I can't believe it finally happened!!!
i loved mad god, visionary.
Dude is such a mad genius
It's finally out on Shudder!!!!!!
I got to go and see the set too! Well, I went in like 2016, so it must have been the set for Mad God Pt. 3. Anyway it was super cool!
also, I had that robot arm as a kid, it was called "Armatron" and it was super fun. I wish I still had it, I'd probably take it apart and repurpose it just to see what I could do with it.
I hope one day I can have this amount of commitment and talent god damn
am i the only one who thinks that films should be made with stop motion again because i think stop motion is more artistic and makes me feel more realistic
Just saw this an it does live up to the hype!
sounds pretty cool actualy. would like to see it when its ready
Thank You Mr.Tippet. Such a Horrible nightmare, but Exactly what I needed. All My Love....
My uncle had one of those radio shack robot arms, and it was always the highlight of the holiday to go and play with it.
Poor Norm just going through the introductions and already ol man Tippetts rolling his eyes and giving him the death glare stinkeye, LOL What a crotchety ol fart.
Mad God is gorgeous, I am awe-struck.
This project is just amazing
Muchas cosas geniales en este proyecto, ¡Gracias mr. Tipper por darle vida! Las texturas, los líquidos, la opresión que se percibe es agobiante y estremecedora. Aplaudo especialmente la originalidad de sus personajes, en un mundo donde todos los animadores 3D hacen siempre monstruos tipo H.R. Giger, se copian los unos a los otros o simplemente usan todos las mismas texturas, encontrarse con otras bestias salidas de no sé que rincón del inframundo es por decirlo poco, refrescante. También me gustó esa búsqueda personal al tratar de romper la clásica estructura de una cinta comercial. En fin, de nuevo, muchas gracias.
Mad God was Amazing
The assassin design is so cool.
Agreed, hurt me a little to see he gets “eviscerated” at some point
So now that the finished product has premiered in the film festival, how can I see it too?
Stop motion for life
he's so cool
The shit men. This man is amazing
The trailer looks sick af
So many sounds
Realm of the Mad God! Sorry had to say it but that looks really cool.
Drinking Game: Drink a shot everytime phil says you know
Wow, this is from 10 yrs ago.
I would love to know where and when I get to see this movie!?
Thirty years now. Re: Mark Maron brought me here.
Phil seems like a nice guy. Great video and beard.
MylanDMurphy nicotine stained lol
He mentions that some people seeing him archiving early film footage of the project thought it looked like a “long lost xxxxxx project.” Can anyone tell me the name he said? Sounded like Arrovic or Aravic?
"You know..." - Phil Tippett
I swear I heard those two words a hundred times...
you know... i was thinking.. you know.. i might actually comment.. you know.. but i figured.. you know.. someone probably beat me to it.. you know..
turns out.. you know.. it was you...
I do the exact same thing. I think it's to sort of seek confirmation and agreement with the person you're talking to, you know?
Amazing imagination!
He should sell it on VHS
Avec le nombre de vue, vous avez doit à intégrer gratuitement des sous titres, ce serait vraiment super !
Ace hardware has models?
At 4:10 Phil mentions the name of a filmmaker. Sounds like darevich but I can't make it out and am turning up nothing with google search. Can anyone help me out here?
+William Cowley Ladislas Starevich
My god, I just noticed that this video came out in 2012. We finally see the movie, but 10 years later.
I think he changed the design on the "shitmen". In the movie they look more like they're made out of moss.
the movie is superb. weird, morbid, disgusting and Beautiful sometimes but awesomely made. a truly work of art! go see it!
This is amazing and I know this video is old now but I hope to see something of like maybe a chapter 1 or something
Well, it just got finished
@@Joe3818 do you know where I can watch it or can find it?
It likely won't be released until at least the end of this year if not next year but it is finished
@@DIS-JOINTEDJOINERY ok thank you for letting me know about how long untill it's ready to be seen.
It's on shedder
can we appreciate the fact the guy has a portrait of himself dressed the exact same way
Does anyone know who the men in the back photos are?
Was the camera man drunk, or having an epileptic seizure?
This is going to be one of those films that people say they've seen all of it but left after 20 mins.
"Is there a story?" The correct answer is no, and that's fine.
It's about the remnants of mankind being in the last days of an apocalypse caused by some kind of "mad god". What I can't peace together is the assassin descends into the place on some kind of lift yet we see him pass a skyscraper and ruins of cities on the way down. So did he come from some kind of aircraft or is the area he arrives in underground?
AT LAST!
Watched it yesterday, goddamn this is ..... a shroom trip, and a bad one at that ....
Whos the guy hes talking about in 16:50? Carl Seaman?
Phil Tippett! :-o ED-209! Any chance of meeting Rob Bottin?
Netflix please any Netflix executives we need this to go bigger!!!!
If he asked I would work on a concept for him for free.
"Dear Mr Tippett, now that we're just the two of us, would you mind if i just called you Almighty God ??" would have been my reaction.
Thanks for my childhood btw.
I have questions….
is it just me or does Phil look a LOT like Phillip Seymour Hoffman?
He sounds like him
This man is a fucking artist with his work an I just seen MAD GOD and its beyond beautiful with the strange narrative of what's even really going on an I loved it from the time, the dark horrible realities, from live action peices to stop motion
The music in the end of these is really distracting
What is the music used? It's gorgeous!
Just realised the strange distribution policy of pt. 1 and 2. In my opinion, there would be many more people buying, thus watching and enjoying his work on this, if it wold be provided in a more suitable way. Some diversity of payment policy would help a lot.
I want to watch badly since hearing about him working on it since years, but I will never ever sport a credit card to buy art.
"Y'know..."
9 years ago... Fuck
Perhaps he loves to work on this during his free time and he doesn't want to finish it.
doG daM
Where the F can i watch it??
It's on shudder
releasing the frustration of Hollywoods crap, and the worry about VFX being outsourced overseas
Never heard, sounds cool though.
