After hearing him talk about not constraining himself to a schedule and just going wherever he wants with the plot, I'm shocked this this ever got finished. There are so many creatives who will work on their "dream project," until the day they die because the scope keeps changing and they don't constrain themselves to any direction or time schedule. Props to Phil for actually finishing a project like that

10 years later and this has FINALLY released! It’s fantastic. Really jaw dropping and beautiful- in a grotesque nightmarish way. Not a conventional ‘movie’ in that the story, if there even is one, is really open to interpretation. There is a narrative shift that is pretty jarring and occurs about half way through and that’s when things get really weird. If I was to glean anything from the film I might take it as Phil’s very dim view of the human condition. The various monsters and hellish environments the assassin(s) travel through are sometimes (but not always) obvious metaphors for the variety of horrors that exist in our own world. Ultimately, this is more about the experience of the visuals (and sound!) and the feelings it provokes. It’s a work of art.

It's finally coming!

Another 10 years and I've just seen it. Unimaginable effort has gone into this project, bravo!

just watched Mad God last night, the clock sound effects in this set still lingers on me... Thank you Phil!

14:05 Phil has a portrait of himself, wearing the same clothes he always does. I like these old guys who seem to be boring, but are actually incredibly imaginative and innovative. Kind of a neat paradox, to observe sometimes...

10 years later...I just got back from seeing it at an independent theater and it was amazing! It was bizarre, gross, enthralling, jaw-dropping, stunning...it was a mind-boggling epic!

Holy heck this is now 9 years old? I just saw the trailer for it which premieres in 3 days!

Cant believe I am seeing this video made 11 years ago after I watched the movie and seeing how Phil talks about what he is going to do and how it panned out. So awesome

Wow, crazy! Just scrolling through the comments, and realizing that this video is 10 years old! Just saw the film, and searched for some interviews etc. Really a masterpiece btw!

Who’s here 30 years later & finally we have a trailer !!! I only have been on earth 2 years long than this man has been working on one project … let that sink in. I heard my what at the time I thought was my nerdy cousin, who later I realized was my cool cousin talking about this when we watched empire. Telling me one of the guys who “made the Ton Ton’s” was working on his own movie. I was 5 & never forgot. I actually thought I made it up. Glad it’s finally coming !!!

Amazing to watch this after just seeing it in theatres. Incredible film

I doubt Mad Gods gonna be a short story,it's gonna be a long epic that has many chapters to it,I can't wait! :)

I can't believe this is from ten years ago. Amazing that it's finally complete

Watching this, I was curious and looked at the upload date: _2012!_ I'm glad I only just saw this now, _after_ having watched the film. Waiting an entire decade would have driven me nuts...

Harryhausen and Tippett are the two titans of stop motion. Any animator would step over their mother to work with him. Interesting to hear that he doesn't feel that it's important to shoot every shot himself. I thought this was a very personal project. Unfettered Tippett. But it's more than that. I guess it started off as a very personal project, but he's opened it up to collaboration. The main question I would ask is, why so nightmarish? From what I know of Tippett, he has been somewhat burnt by Hollywood and is an intelligent and perhaps cynical man. And maybe that explains it. But he seems to be tapping into a level of darkness that I left behind as a teenager. And perhaps I'm poorer without it.

I just watched Mad God part 1 and all I can say is WOW! It really is a one of a kind experience and I enjoyed every second of it. I need more!

Love it. I can't wait for Mad God.

Back again after the teaser. See you in 10 years for perfection.

10 years in the future here. This movie just came out last year and it is amazing. Good work on it.

I watched this tested eps when it came out. Now I've seen mad gods. Now I have to watch this again.

Can’t believe it’s here. I want it on DVD!

Just watched it... It's a masterpiece. So moving, grotesque and beautiful

I swear. Every video I watch with Norm in it, at some point he pisses me off by grabbing something out of someone's hands or off something without asking. Man, does that drive me nuts.

Just saw this in theaters! What a nightmarish beautiful piece of work!

Some of those props are the coolest fucking things I've ever seen in my life and hearing him talk about everything makes me excited to go make things. Definitely gonna check this out now that I know about this. Also Norm forever

Oh wow. From when this video was posted they were already talking about its release.... Good to know it's now actually getting that long awaited release lol

This honestly sounds amazing. I can't wait to see it!

imagine having the chance to work with this guy together on a project

After just seeing Mad God for the first time, this video is epic!

I got to go and see the set too! Well, I went in like 2016, so it must have been the set for Mad God Pt. 3. Anyway it was super cool! also, I had that robot arm as a kid, it was called "Armatron" and it was super fun. I wish I still had it, I'd probably take it apart and repurpose it just to see what I could do with it.

Mad Genius is Phil! I love his imagination and creations..

Poor Norm just going through the introductions and already ol man Tippetts rolling his eyes and giving him the death glare stinkeye, LOL What a crotchety ol fart.

and it's finally coming out!

Damn this was 10 years ago. And it was worth the wait imo.

This movie felt like peering directly into someone 's dream or more accurately, nightmare. 10/10!

i loved mad god, visionary.

am i the only one who thinks that films should be made with stop motion again because i think stop motion is more artistic and makes me feel more realistic

I can't believe it finally happened!!!

The assassin design is so cool.

Dude is such a mad genius

It's finally out on Shudder!!!!!!

Thank You Mr.Tippet. Such a Horrible nightmare, but Exactly what I needed. All My Love....

My uncle had one of those radio shack robot arms, and it was always the highlight of the holiday to go and play with it.

This is going to be one of those films that people say they've seen all of it but left after 20 mins.

I hope one day I can have this amount of commitment and talent god damn

The shit men. This man is amazing

"You know..." - Phil Tippett I swear I heard those two words a hundred times...

Mad God is gorgeous, I am awe-struck.

Stop motion for life

Just saw this an it does live up to the hype!

Drinking Game: Drink a shot everytime phil says you know

Mad God was Amazing

Muchas cosas geniales en este proyecto, ¡Gracias mr. Tipper por darle vida! Las texturas, los líquidos, la opresión que se percibe es agobiante y estremecedora. Aplaudo especialmente la originalidad de sus personajes, en un mundo donde todos los animadores 3D hacen siempre monstruos tipo H.R. Giger, se copian los unos a los otros o simplemente usan todos las mismas texturas, encontrarse con otras bestias salidas de no sé que rincón del inframundo es por decirlo poco, refrescante. También me gustó esa búsqueda personal al tratar de romper la clásica estructura de una cinta comercial. En fin, de nuevo, muchas gracias.

I cannot wait to see this!!!

So now that the finished product has premiered in the film festival, how can I see it too?

Wow, this is from 10 yrs ago.

he's so cool

This project is just amazing

Thirty years now. Re: Mark Maron brought me here.

can we appreciate the fact the guy has a portrait of himself dressed the exact same way

My god, I just noticed that this video came out in 2012. We finally see the movie, but 10 years later. I think he changed the design on the "shitmen". In the movie they look more like they're made out of moss.

sounds pretty cool actualy. would like to see it when its ready

He should sell it on VHS

The trailer looks sick af

Phil seems like a nice guy. Great video and beard.

Realm of the Mad God! Sorry had to say it but that looks really cool.

the movie is superb. weird, morbid, disgusting and Beautiful sometimes but awesomely made. a truly work of art! go see it!

This is amazing and I know this video is old now but I hope to see something of like maybe a chapter 1 or something

"Is there a story?" The correct answer is no, and that's fine.

Avec le nombre de vue, vous avez doit à intégrer gratuitement des sous titres, ce serait vraiment super !

He mentions that some people seeing him archiving early film footage of the project thought it looked like a “long lost xxxxxx project.” Can anyone tell me the name he said? Sounded like Arrovic or Aravic?

Watched it yesterday, goddamn this is ..... a shroom trip, and a bad one at that ....

I would love to know where and when I get to see this movie!?

So many sounds

Amazing imagination!

"Dear Mr Tippett, now that we're just the two of us, would you mind if i just called you Almighty God ??" would have been my reaction. Thanks for my childhood btw.

If he asked I would work on a concept for him for free.

It's about the remnants of mankind being in the last days of an apocalypse caused by some kind of "mad god". What I can't peace together is the assassin descends into the place on some kind of lift yet we see him pass a skyscraper and ruins of cities on the way down. So did he come from some kind of aircraft or is the area he arrives in underground?

Ace hardware has models?

Netflix please any Netflix executives we need this to go bigger!!!!

Does anyone know who the men in the back photos are?

Was the camera man drunk, or having an epileptic seizure?

is it just me or does Phil look a LOT like Phillip Seymour Hoffman?

Perhaps he loves to work on this during his free time and he doesn't want to finish it.

Phil Tippett! :-o ED-209! Any chance of meeting Rob Bottin?

At 4:10 Phil mentions the name of a filmmaker. Sounds like darevich but I can't make it out and am turning up nothing with google search. Can anyone help me out here?

I have questions….

AT LAST!

This man is a fucking artist with his work an I just seen MAD GOD and its beyond beautiful with the strange narrative of what's even really going on an I loved it from the time, the dark horrible realities, from live action peices to stop motion

The music in the end of these is really distracting

Whos the guy hes talking about in 16:50? Carl Seaman?

"Y'know..."

9 years ago... Fuck

Just realised the strange distribution policy of pt. 1 and 2. In my opinion, there would be many more people buying, thus watching and enjoying his work on this, if it wold be provided in a more suitable way. Some diversity of payment policy would help a lot. I want to watch badly since hearing about him working on it since years, but I will never ever sport a credit card to buy art.

releasing the frustration of Hollywoods crap, and the worry about VFX being outsourced overseas

Never heard, sounds cool though.

doG daM

What is the music used? It's gorgeous!

Where the F can i watch it??
