About this deal

By using this service you thereby indemnify this Company, its employees, agents and affiliates against any loss or damage, in whatever manner, howsoever caused.

The film is a nightmare future that literally looks like a Hieronymus Bosch painting brought to live in a science-fiction futuristic way.They discuss working as apprentices at Tippett Studios, discussing learning processes, and what their contributions to the film were. But it’s also a film that cinephiles will be talking about for a very long time, and it’s absolutely recommended. Mad God is a film that is easy to recommend since it has something for everyone: it is a stop motion animation; an ambitious personal project over thirty years in the making; a gross horror film; a shining example of pure visual storytelling; a particularly squelchy take on dystopia; and rich with damning anti-capitalist themes.

Finance is provided by PayPal Credit (a trading name of PayPal UK Ltd, Whittaker House, Whittaker Avenue, Richmond-Upon-Thames, Surrey, United Kingdom, TW9 1EH). It’s not all stop motion in there either, other media are well implemented, including some live action sequences integrated throughout, occasionally with frames removed to replicate the juddering stop motion aesthetic, which only makes what we’re witnissing more disturbing, so full marks all round! In addition to one of the most beautifully horrific movies ever made, the Mad God Steelbook release also comes packaged with a bunch of special features.You get two discussions with Phil Tippett; a sit-down interview and the feature “ Mad God : Influences and Inspirations. Conceived, produced, and directed by Tippett—the practical-effects artist behind the animated chessboard in Star Wars, the tauntauns and AT-ATs of The Empire Strikes Back, the 400-year-old Vermithrax Pejorative of Dragonslayer, and OCP’s ED-209 enforcer from RoboCop—over the course of three decades and with the help of volunteer animators at Tippett Studio, fellow ILM alum Dennis Muren, students from Academy of Art University in San Francisco, and the financial support of a wildly-successful Kickstarter campaign, Mad God is a singular work of both genius and madness. We follow a protagonist whom we know nothing about, be it their name, source, or destination, other than they have descended from somewhere above and appear to be heading down no matter what atrocities scamper across their path.

A corroded diving bell descends amidst a ruined city and the Assassin emerges from it to explore a labyrinth of bizarre landscapes inhabited by freakish denizens. For those willing to take the non-stop crazy train that is Phil Tippett’s Mad God , this two-disc, steel book edition is the only physical media release you’ll ever need. So is the world they inhabit, incredibly detailed backgrounds filled with familiar figures and items from R2D2 and Robby the Robot to a bust of Beethoven. Sometimes that heart is bursting with love for the craft, while other times it's macabre, punctured, and bleeding. Maya Tippett’s The Making of Mad God ” plays closer to the audio commentary featuring Phil Tippett’s team.

The rest of the disc’s bonus material is more in-depth details about topics and ideas discussed in the audio commentaries.
