AT-ATs, Taun Tauns, and Robocops



here's a look at Phil Tippett, the guy who did many stop motion effects for the Star Wars series, Robocop, and Dragonslayer amongst others, when he still did stop-motion



his company mostly went to computer effects after Jurassic Park, most recently working on Cloverfield, The Golden Compass, and the Starship Troopers series. its fun to see the now-considered archaic use of surface gauges with the influx of cheap and easy frame grabbers. Ray Harryhausen used to swear by them.
