Phil Tippet, known for some of the most awe-inspiring special effects in movie history is immortalizing scenes from Dinosaur!. The exceptional short story that served as a calling card to Steven Spielberg when producing dinosaur caper, Jurassic Park.
Double Oscar winner Tippet, is famed for his incredible practical special effects which he has mastered over 5 decades. With this in mind, he is best known for his work on such movies as the original Star Wars trilogy, Jurassic Park and Robocop.
