Is the inventor of the Stop-Motion technique called Go-Motion.
A dinosaur species is named after him: Elaphrosaurus philtippettorum.
"Elaphrosaurus" means "light lizard" and was probably a ceratosaur; the
humerus bone found in Colorado was named by Stephan Pickering in 1995.
(The name does not quite conform to dinosaur-naming protocols: it
should have been Elaphrosaurus philtippetti.)
