Bringing 'War for the Planet of the Apes' to Life

2017-07-02
not starved swore but I will finish it the technical challenge is just that the eight shots are very complex and so there are more of them so you know the the harder thing about this movie was more grander scale grander action the greatest thing on this movie is is the level of detail in the rendering the skin textures the fur textures the the the eyes it was difficult at first because I never worked with it before I had to do the scenes with the Apes and then without so I had little pieces of tape to represent the Apes and so I had to look a certain way and stuff like that I was just reacting to how I would normally react if I was in that situation it's like shooting any other movie other than the fact that you have dots on you right it's different for her because we do a scene together all of us right and then we leave the scene and she has to do it by herself in the same way as if we're there so it's a harder gig for you know a human but that performance is better when we're together they'll use that it's just harder and posted to render it you take the performance that's shot on the day and then you live with that in the cut for months and months and months and you create the drama all around that so it has to work in its own right and then or in the background then the visual effects team get to work and then you know the shots get replaced one by one this one is a purely wetter operation and you know they're my old team from that from back in the day on Lord of the Rings and you know the guys there know my face and facial muscles and air practically every single single expression I'm ever capable of making more than anyone else on the planet I think it's like a master class with a great actor well he didn't give me technical advice he gave me acting advice I mean he gave me you know those guys I had to jump into this world that they had been in for a long time playing a chimpanzee and yet at the same time letting that go and play this little guy who's just so excited to be around new friends you know that was the character that's that's what you play the physical part that you drill over and over again and try to embody has to be second nature once you get to that point so that's where that help came in it's the closest thing I've done to theater in film which is if you would have told me that before I knew I would have been I would have laughed
