Behind-the-Scenes: Making the Stop-Motion Puppets for Star Wars: The Force Awakens!

Watch Adam Savage chat with Phil Tippett about animating these puppets here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sexd06I8mzg

The Holochess animation Easter egg in Star Wars: The Force Awakens was truly a labor of love, and the team who made it used a variety of interesting technologies to create it. This week, we return to Tippett Studio to chat with this sequence's art director, visual effects supervisor, armaturist, and head puppet fabricator (our very own Frank Ippolito!) about the fabrication of these stop-motion puppets!

Thanks so much to Tippett Studio for giving us access to this amazing process!
