Several weeks ago, Phil Tippett's legendary animation studio in Berkeley, CA closed. An anonymous hero noticed a folder of CDs. This turned out to be hundreds of unseen hi-res images and videos from Star Wars, Robocop, Jurassic Park, etc. ~90 isos for you to browse: archive.org/details/tipp...
A casual Star Wars alien fella at the cantina, in a sun faded, reddish photo. Someone will be mad at me for not knowing who this is. Phil, a balding Caucasian man, poses a model of the garthok, an antagonist from the Coneheads movie.Phil, a balding caucasian man, points at some CG on a CRT computer monitor, as a younger man looks on. The screen shows a model of a dinosaur attacking a jeep, while there's an actual physical model of that event in the foreground for reference.an isolated shot of a star wars vehicle. Sorry, I don't know star wars lol

Supporting this game is not just about getting a new piece of art out there, it's about supporting a displaced people, giving a voice to the silenced, about conserving history. It's an act of resistance you can help with in a small yet very meaningful way

One of the most difficult things to express is how all ideas start off as half-formed frames, little corner doodles, and while your job is to make them undeniably real and recognisable, a little part of you will always see them as little more than a passing thought.
