The guy in the thumbnail looks like the final evolved form of Will.
I got the same feeling. Norm being so enthusiastic just contrasted it so much more. Probably just didn’t like some dude touching his awards that are probably polished 800 times a day. That or he was just wasn’t too comfortable on camera at first, he seems better later on.
Fascinating stuff though. Very well produced video!
that dinosaur armature is very cool.
“For a dollar!” we have to hear what was going through Norm’s head when he said that…
“is he serious or is he just kidding? He must be kidding, haha… wait, He isnt laughing he is just staring at me. OK, I hope I have a dollar…”
i usually never carry cash. was really fortunate that i had money at that moment. it was really unplanned!
Did Phil keep the $5? 😀
Anything Jurassic Park and I’m immediately interested.
Good stuff!
Hahahaha phil looks stoned and like a bum. what a cool dude.
Yeah please tell us.
dudes thats it?
there is so much more than what you had shown i can tell, you’re holding out.
just plain studio details would be great.
was that a retractable ceiling to let more light in above ed209?
shots of work benches?
Magical wonderland indeed.
That is gold. Will evolves into….Tippet!
Good stuff guys.
Great stuff.
Excellent!
Great video guys, make more stuff like this.
I got this game vibe… Just watching the video made ma bit uncomfortable. Way to push through norm.. lol Nice job.
Great video, really enjoyed it.
Really cool stuff.
Phil looks/act like he could be Philip Seymour Hoffman…
Seems like I was just watching his Rancor test footage yesterday….
