MinnMax Interview - Phil Tippett On Star Wars, Jurassic Park, The VFX Revolution (Patreon)

Thanks to your support and your help spreading the word about MinnMax, we recently hit a goal on Patreon to create an ongoing interview show. The goal for the show is to ask smart people new questions, from within and beyond the game industry. For the very first interview, we're honored to be joined by VFX legend Phil Tippett. This Oscar-winning pioneer is responsible for Star Wars' holochess, tauntauns, and Jabba the Hutt. He was there for the turning point in the film industry on Jurassic Park when Spielberg chose to abandon stop-motion animation for the dinosaurs and pivot to CG. He also worked on Robocop's ED-209 and Starship Troopers! He's had an incredible career and now we get to learn all about it, THANKS TO YOU!

If you prefer to watch the interview, you can check it out here on YouTube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCxQv1pOAyw

Future interviews will also be posted on YouTube and in the Patreon-exclusive audio feed, they won't be on a set schedule but we're aiming for a new interview every other week.
