The set was really small and I just wanted to stay out of their way. He wanted to be free to do what he wanted, and so I’m pretty sensitive to leaving actors alone. “He looked at the documentaries and saw that I had a long beard and wondered why they asked him to cut his beard off. “They sent Nick some documentaries about me so he could get the vibe,” Tippett said. It recalls the mysterious drowning of Natalie Wood during the making of “Brainstorm,” directed by VFX guru Doug Trumbull. “The Orpheus Syndrome” concerns Nolte’s filmmaker being haunted by the accidental on-set drowning of an actress 40 years ago during the making of his last film. Turns out the casting of Nolte was pretty spot on physically, with Tippett even acting as a stand-in for the actor’s hands in most scenes. The “Poker Face” association began when Johnson wanted to make an episode about stop-motion as a tribute to Tippett (“The Orpheus Syndrome”). “The Mandalorian” creator Favreau hired Tippett to help with the design of the giant stop-motion “Scrapwalkers” (a variation of the AT-AT) for Season 2’s “The Believer” episode and asked him back to design part of the set design for Season 3’s “The Mines of Mandalore” episode. It’s just like certain filmmakers, Rian and Guillermo del Toro and Jon Favreau, we’re cut from the same block of cheese.”

He not only contributed old-school monster puppets but also inspired its story about a crusty old stop-motion filmmaker (Nick Nolte). VFX legend Phil Tippett, whose totally bonkers “Mad God” stop-motion horror film finally got released last year, is a special effects Emmy hopeful this season for an episode of Rian Johnson’s “Poker Face” on Peacock, written and directed by star Natasha Lyonne.
