I wonder if apes get that uncanny valley feeling when they watch planet of the apes, the same way we do when we see full cgi humans.
-
It is a crime that these movies haven’t got a single oscar for best vfx yet.
-
When I was a kid I’d wake up on Saturdays excited to watch cartoons. As an adult I wake up on Saturdays excited to see corridor crew 😅
-
Toby really made Koba the best villain of this movie series
-
War for the Planet of the Apes (2017) has one of the most impressive CGI-effects that I have seen in any movie in my entire life. The photorealism on the apes in this movie is on such a high level that during my third rewatch I was asking myself: "Are those apes real?" or "How the hell was this made on a computer?!" - It just incredible. I can't do nothing but praise the digital visual effects and animation company Wētā FX who did the effects on all the three movies in this trilogy.

This video reinforces the fact that no matter how advanced technology and AI get, you still need people with artistic vision to drive the process to reach an amazing end product.

That’s me setting up cameras at 6:18 ! Dawn was such a fun movie to work on, and so were War and Kingdom. I just wish I could have worked on Rise, that was the only one in the series that I didn’t work on.

WHAT A WONDERFUL DAY!!!
-
andy serkis pioneering performing captures that gives us all these great movies. what a legend.
-
One of the most incredible trilogies of films ever made. People thought rebooting the Apes franchise was a terrible idea and we were given masterpieces. Caesar is such an amazing character
-
I just finished watching the modern trilogy and thought, "I should look up some BTS on the motion capture and CG used." And once again, Corridor Crew pays out like manna from heaven
-
The tree simulation part blew my mind. Amazing subtle stuff we usually don’t even notice.
-
It's crazy how soo many talented people have taken VFX almost to the point of science.
-
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes is actually one of my favourite movies these days. It‘s stunningly beautiful, tells a relevant story and it‘s so emotionally captivating. The scale, the power dynamics, the long shots, the drama, and it all gets carried because of the top notch CG work. Top notch job, guys.

This episode is bananas
-
the recent POTA movies prove there should be an Oscar for Motion Capture performances.
-
WETA is just a different beast. Every time I see something new from them, I'm like - huuuuuuuuh?!
-
Maurice is maybe the best looking "fake" character I've ever seen in a movie. The eyes and physicality are what does it for me. Incredible artistry by the actress and vfx artists.
-
For me, the "we made it" moment was any of the ones with Maurice in War. The details in that face were human. The intelligence in the eyes brought tears to my eyes.

I think Wren & Jordan were the best possible members of the team for this. I've said it before, but some of my favorite vids you guys put out are either of Jordan or Wren just *explaining stuff*. They're both so fantastic at explaining technical projects, and also the passion and energy they put into nerding out over stuff is just infectious.
