Mark A.Z. Dippé
Director, producer, screenwriter
Mark A.Z. Dippé (born Mark Earnest Dippé; November 9, 1956) is a Japanese-born American animator, visual effects artist, film director, and producer. Best known for directing the 1997 superhero film Spawn, he began his career at Industrial Light & Magic where he worked on VFX-driven films like Back to the Future Part II, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, and Jurassic Park. In 1988, he went to Industrial Light & Magic as some friends of his were hired to do the computer-generated imagery for The Abyss. Dippé wrote most of the code that created a photorealistic pseudopod built out of seawater, which was mostly animated by Steve 'Spaz' Williams. Dippé's later work included the T-1000 in Terminator 2: Judgment Day, and the dinosaurs of Jurassic Park, which were rendered in computer graphics after a successful demo made by Williams and Dippé. Dippé, Williams and Clint Goldman left ILM in 1997, forming production companies Pull Down Your Pants and Complete Pandemonium. The former was a production company in Dippé's directorial debut, the comic book adaptation Spawn, and the latter created various television commercials in the following years. In 2006, he co-founded The Animation Picture Company. He has produced and directed numerous animated films.
