  • Dawn of the Planet of the Apes required our animators to create an entirely digital ape cast who could deliver complex and emotional storylines. See how we combined our advancements in performance capture technology with keyframe animation to achieve nuanced and convincing character performances.
    Our work on Dawn of the Planet of the Apes received three Visual Effects Society Awards, an Annie Award for Outstanding Character Animation, the HPA Award for Outstanding Feature Film VFX, and the Golden AEAF Award for Feature Film VFX.

    Holy shit, I only just now realized the destroyed San Fran was fake, I didn't even think about it in terms of being a set or anything, I just accepted it, it was totally believable, nice work!
    Anyway, this film has three levels of realism.
    There's Caesar - looked great, but he still looked CGI, I guess because his face was more human-like than the others.
    Koba - if you didn't focus on it he looked absolutely real.
    Maurice - try as I might I couldn't see the artificiality. Maurice looked like a real Orangutan 100%. It's TRULY amazing work.

    As a blender noob it was super interesting. I watched it having in mind that there are people who made all that CGI and I was amazed. Before doing any 3D modeling I never paid attention to such things. Great job!

    Even though "Gravity" was a great movie in terms of visuals... I mean, oh well, 90% of the screen space was taken up by black space most of the time. And yeah, there were some amazing scenes, but.
    But.
    "Dawn of the Planet of the Apes" contains a lot more of them. The lighting work, the fur, and animation are just insane. How challenging it is to make speakless characters, for the most part communicating through sign language, truly alive. So that the viewer can understand the character through their body language. My God.
    You did a one hell of a job, even now, rewatching film in 2022, I'm impressed.

    Definitely a ginormous improvement over "Rise"'s ape effects. The process is not even subtle, if you look at this after "Rise", it's like skipping from PlayStation 2 graphics to PlayStation 4.

    And Andy Serkis only views what the animators do as 'digital makeup'.... he's really nothing more than a place holder in the film for the animators and a voice actor.... the rest is the talent of the animators.
