Performance Capture Is A Tool That Young

Animators Do Amazing Working Translating And Interpolating The Characters [in The Planet Of The Apes], The Facial Performances. What We're Creating On Set - If You Don't Get It On The Day, In The Moment, On Set, In Front Of The Camera, With The Director And The Actors. The Emotional Content Of The Scene And The Acting Choices.

I Love The Whole Kind Of Notion Of Transformation For Me Is (what) Excites Me About Not Only Acting, But Storytelling. I Love, I Love That Notion Of A Slightly Larger-than-life Artistic Truth, You Know, Magnifying Real Emotional Truth (or) Finding Something About Human Condition (which), You Wouldn't Necessarily Think You Can Learn From Characters Such As Kong Or Gollum, But Actually They Are, You Know, These Huge Amplifications Of A Human Psyche And I Suppose Those Kind Of Roles Have Always Attracted Me Definitely.

No Matter How Extreme Things Get, It Still Has That Ring Of Truth About It That Backs The Characters - Even Though They're Despicable And What They're Doing Isn't Right You Still Care For Their Fate.

Basically We're Puppeteers And If You're There And You're In The Character, The Puppet Is Going To Look Good. It's Going To Breath Life And I Think Once They Find Out How To Trust This System, You Just Forget About It And Just Perform, Then It's Just Second Nature, It Just Becomes Easy.

Rather Than Something Like King Kong Where I Really Went After Studying Gorillas In The Wild And Captivity. I Based Caesar [ From The Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes] On A Real Chimpanzee And I Worked With Terry [notary] On A Lot Of Chimpanzee Movement.
