Legendary VFX Artist Phil Tippett Is Launching a New Film and TV Production Label

Phil Tippett, the legendary VFX artist who has worked on films such as Star Wars, Jurassic Park, Indiana Jones, Willow, RoboCop, and more, is launching a new film and TV production label called Tippett Productions.

The Canadian-based venture is looking to produce film and TV projects from a roster of animation and VFX artists, including several IPs created Tippett, who most recently worked on the crazy-ass stop-motion film Mad God.

Tippett Canada President Gary Mundell, who also serves as California-based Tippett Studio’s COO, is heading up the new production company with Toronto-based Colin Geddes of Ultra 8 Pictures.

Tippett Productions will be led by Geddes and his partner, writer-producer Katarina Gligorijevic, who will work closely with Mundell and other members of the Tippett team on the first slate of projects.

Mundell said in a statement: “As a visual effects company, Tippett Studio is consistently at the top of its game, with projects like The Book of Boba Fett, The Mandalorian, Locke and Key and others. But we’re also eager to build on the incredible momentum we’ve achieved with Mad God and expand into making more of our own original content. With Phil’s creative vision and the team we’ve assembled, this feels like the next natural evolution of the Tippett brand.”

Geddes said: “It’s been an absolute pleasure to work with Phil, Gary and the entire Tippett team. We’re incredibly excited for this new stage of our partnership.”

Tippett added: “This is a great time for the company and I am very excited to expand into original content with Gary and Colin and the rest of the team.”

I’m looking forward to seeing what projects come out of this new production company.
