Phil Tippett Takes Us On A Trip

For those of us who’ve taken nothing more hallucinogenic than a lime flavoured Tic-Tac this description of a full-on LSD trip is rather enlightening.

That the person in question is effects maestro Phil Tippett makes the sharing even more interesting. Check out the full piece in The Independent.

“I crawled into this cupboard with Brian the cat and we went to the centre of the Earth for like three billion years and I was just in this world of molecules. It was fine, it was very calming.

“I decided to go back to work and I was at ILM (Industrial Light & Magic) and I walked into the blue screen stage and it’s huge – everything’s just super illuminated bright blue – and it was just like ‘Aaaah, I took like way too much.’’

If Brian the Cat doesn’t get his own movie, we riot.
