- 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.)
- Founder of Tippett Visual Effects Studio in Berkeley, CA, one of the leading visual effects houses specializing in 3D CGI character animation.
