Jurassic Park[]
Steven Spielberg's original plans were to mostly use Tippett's go-motion to animate the dinosaurs. Once Tippett was shown the Industrial Light and Magic computer animation demo showing it would be unnecessary, the resulting exchange with Spielberg ("Guess I'm out of a job." "Don't you mean extinct?") wound up in the movie. Still, given Tippett's expertise in dinosaur movement, which had years prior resulted in the short "Prehistoric Beast", he was kept as a supervisor regarding how to animate the animals realistically, and his crew developed out of the stop-motion puppets the "Dinosaur Input Device" that when manipulated could translated the movement into the digital dinosaur.
