Waiting five days for Phil Tippett to stop motion ten seconds of tauntaun walking must have driven him crazy.

Jonathan Tippett has been working on this for well over a decade at this point.

Did Phil Tippett feel threatened by CGI superceding his stop motion in Jurassic Park?

Phil Tippett saw the writing on the wall when Jurassic Park went digital.

As Tippett figured out and published in 1934, if you want to know how much time is spent on something, you don't record every hour for every person.

For those like me that know little about the placebo effect, there's a nice episode[1] of the On Being by Krista Tippett podcast where she interviewed Erik Vance on the subject.

Perhaps the greatest visual effects artist of the last 50 years (if not ever), Tippett brought to life the dinosaurs of Jurassic Park and the creatures of Star Wars while also enriching many, many stellar visual feasts like RoboCop, Willow, and Starship Troopers.

> By now, anyone who would agree to the label of "film fan" knows the legendary Phil Tippett.

Extreme Value theory [1] appears to have been codified by the 1960s, and one of the main theorems is credited “to Fréchet (1927), Ronald Fisher and Leonard Henry Caleb Tippett (1928), Mises (1936) and Gnedenko (1943)” [2].

I've also found a lot of understanding from Krista Tippett's podcast "On Being." 'White people' are now compelled to hear a kind of racialized hatred that many have been largely insulated from until now.

Krista Tippett (from the "On Being" podcast) talks about this as one of the most important social tasks at the moment - to help calm fears of those around us so that as a society we're less fearful of each other, and more open to each other.

The Fisher–Tippett–Gnedenko theorem is the extreme-values analogue of the CLT: if the properly normalized maximum of an i.i.d.

Tippett Studios was one of the big model work studios.

The central limit theorem generalizes beyond simple math to hard math: Levy alpha stable distributions when variance is not finite, the Fisher-Tippett-Gnedenko theorem and Gumbel/Fréchet/Weibull distributions regarding extreme values.
