‘Star Wars: Skeleton Crew’ Uses Stop-Motion by Phil Tippett and Old School Matte Paintings
- Thread starter Ryan.
- Start date
I think the 4th video on the series is particularly timely for stuff like this.

Sucks that the only snippet of footage is still that leak. And even from that garbage ass camcorder quality, you could tell they tried harder than your usual boiler plate Star Wars show when it came to cinematography. Hope this looks good in the same vain as Andor when more of it gets released.

Awesome! I love Phil Tippet. I just started working with stop motion a couple weeks ago and have been a huge fan for decades. I will definitely be into this.
Yes I did, but do watch how…the usual medias outlets will handle this
They seem to be going back to Tippet for more and more stuff, which is great. I'd love it if Star Wars did even more stop motion and old school technology. The stop motion/physical stuff they do really shines, and they still pull off some incredible stuff they'd only manage with CGI.
My impression was it was like Star Trek Voyager where they get lost in hyperspace somewhere else in the galaxy, either at the planet Thrawn was trapped on, that galaxy, or wherever the Chiss are from.

I guess that's fair, but we can wait for that to actually happen before we start pointing it out. The news is less so them doing it and more who's doing it anyways.
Phil Tippett? I'm there day one.
If you haven't seen Mad God, do it. It's fantastic.

Yes yes, we all know the no CGI market cycle. But having Tippet back in this role is monumentally cool, the below is why.
Even if he does everything as CGI masquerading as stop motion it'll be fuckin neato.

Nah, that was the practical effects of uncharged RC batteries.
Not directly related (it's about Tales of the Empire), but I thought this was cool:

I'm very much tired of the discourse around cgi but it's cool that modern Star Wars stuff proudly uses old school, handcrafted techniques.

Why are you guys praising Phil Tippett? He was the dinosaur supervisor in Jurassic Park. I'd say he did a pretty terrible job and yet he keeps getting work. People died man.
It's just a movie mate. They're actors.
On set, the dinosaurs were all well behaved.
The T-rex, Roberta, was even in the wrap photo.

Because LF and ILM are ones to shy away from practical VFX, right?
No, because it's how it usually ends up. BR2049 is a good example, it was heavy marketed with its use of miniatures and practical FX, but only maybe like a few dozens of final shots out of several thousands actually contain miniatures in them. Rest ended up used mostly as a reference for VFX people because - believe it or not - CGI (when done right) is simply better.
