Phil Tippett, the animator of the AT-AT walkers and the Dinosaur Supervisor on Jurassic Park, has finally realized a stop-motion vision of his own. Here's IllusiveKen on the magic of Mad God:
. Tippett’s animation is almost always done in service of other directors’ visions. The guy’s only other feature-length credit as director is the made-for-TVrepresents the first time Tippett, one of the most respected living artists in his medium, has been given a completely blank slate and all the time he needs to do whatever completely original idea springs forth from his mind.
The movie opens on the depiction of darkness falling over a tower raised to the sky and surrounded by roaring multitudes, followed by words from Leviticus detailing the punishments for disobedience against God. A pod lowers through the exploding flak of a militarized state, depositing an interloper whose features are completely concealed under bulky, First World War-era protective equipment, as if breathing the very air would kill them.
We know very little about our protagonist. They are here to destroy this place . Their journey leading up to the initial descent paints a picture of a world at war and in ruins. They fail utterly in their goal, and we are left with images that invite us to ponder whether there is any world in which they ever might have succeeded.
Animation, the masters tell us, is an illusion of life. It’s actual magic, and so no matter what method you use, it’s hard to do in a way that live-action filmmaking simply never will be. It’s partly why animated features in the United States are released so sparingly: We outsourced the work to Asia long ago , and the only films the industry deems worth animating must cater to the broadest possible audiences.
