"The fire sale is part of the studio’s Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings. Tippett said the studio’s demise was a prolonged affair and there were numerous causes, including the consolidation of Hollywood studios and tax incentives offered by cities and states competing for film production business."

One last look inside Tippett Studio. The legendary f/x house is closing, and its models, props & precious artifacts are being sold off. I spent a day inside the workshop, surrounded by Star Wars, RoboCop, Jurassic Park & decades of handmade movie magic. www.popculturalprecursors.com/p/one-last-l...

Exactly. A VFX supervisor friend of mine has a great policy when evaluating VFX cos to work on his projects. He asks them to send a showreel of their work, but only include shots done by people who still work there. He wants to know what they can do with the people they have now, not the past.
