- Behind many CGI characters is an actor in a ridiculous suit! Subscribe to our channel: bit.ly/Subscribe-to-Screenrant
Throughout the history of Hollywood, some of our greatest performers and actors never actually get to see their face in front of the camera. Whether it’s Boris Karloff dressed a Frankstein, Jim Hanson hiding behind a Kermit puppet, or Doug Jones dressed to the nines in an intricate outfit, these performers don’t get enough credit for the work they do.
And in today’s modern-day filmmaking, a lot of those practical designs have been replaced with digital motion capture suits. These actors are still on-set -- typically wearing large one piece outfits, only to have their whole body erased and replaced with a digital character. With so many movies relying on CG characters and effects, it’s easy for a lot of actors to do just the voices and have everything else done digitally. While actor Alan Tudky is known for his iconic voice in roles for projects like “American Dad”, “Young Justice” and “Frozen”, Tudky also has donned the motion-capture suit on multiple occasions and performed the physical work as well.
One of his most infamous roles may be in Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. For the film, Tudky played K-2SO, a tall droid with plenty of personality. The droid could have easily been all CG or featured an enclosed actor like Anthony Daniels in the role of C-3PO, but Tudky donned a motion capture suit and some short stilts to help bring the droid to life and make him feel like a living character on-screen. Because of the motion capture, we are able to feel the presence of the character, especially when it interacts with others -- including the improvised slap across the face of Cassian.
Well, today we’re taking a little peek behind the curtain to reveal some of the great actors behind famous CGI characters and give a little insight into the hard work that goes into each performance.

2:00 "..And Tony Stark as Iron Man." NICE
Andy Serkis, the Meryl Streep of motion capture actors.
yass
More pitch meetings please
Pitch meetings are Tight 👌
The fact that Benadict Cumberbatch as smog was not on here is insane
Wow, very impressive. It's sad there hasn't been a category for best motion capture yet. That should change and they should retro active the nominations to catch up.
It's amazing to see these actors going to these lengths for their roles
2:00: seen this with Mark Ruffalo as Hulk and Tony Stark as Iron man
I'm so used to hearing Tony that I realised this after seeing your comment
At 2:01 I think he means RDJ
Talked about Andy Serkis and LotR without mentioning Bendystraw Pumpkinpatch's portrayal of Smaug
Schechefter “Bendystraw Pumpkinpatch” 🤣
@@ceceliaacaba2739 😂😂😂😂
Which actor is behind the very famous animal cap marvel😄😶??
Andy Serkis and Doug Jones will always be the Kings of CGI for me
*former kings
The actor in dumbo needs to win an Oscar for all that work.
My thoughts exactly! Really great work
yeah i didnt know that it was a person behind it
U missed, The smaug from the Movie, Hobbit. Buddy. It was done By benedict cumberbatch. The making video of Smaug is really Awesome.
great video.Keep up the good work
2:00
Tony stark as Ironman
HOL’ UP BRO
How could you leave off James Spader as Ultron? He's amazing!
AFAIK, James Spader did only the voice of Ultron.
Now that's amazing
Andy serkis
5:02: Unpopular opinion: Eva Green was the best part of Dumbo She gave a wonderful performance.
Also does anyone remember how the girl was terrible was?
Please comment.
Chase Hedgee , I felt every single performance in that film was either wooden or phoned in. Eva Green was one dimensional and stiff, and added nothing to the film. Her character was not even necessary to the plot. I assume she got a part because of her relationship with Tim Burton.
oh wow, this is so cool. Thanks!!!
Favorite motion capture performance, easy. Rosa as Alita for Alita Battle Angel. Movie is amazing and her performance made the movie what it is. Awesome, she deserves an award for this one, one of the best movies ever.
Depite how CGI can ruin the impact of certain movie(s) but you have to give those performers a lot of credit and an award for their works
A lot people don’t realize that Andy Serkis is a motion capture cgi consultant with Marvel for the character Hulk. He’s going to do such a phenomenal job on Venom 2.
Yes I feel like they deserve more recognition
We're not talking about CGI actors without talking about Andy Serkis. I happy he was included in the video.
Alan Tudyk, playing an android, isn't just KT-S0, he is Sonny in "I, Robot" 😉 he also does appear on-screen as an actor, on the series Firefly, as the character 'Wash'.
Dude u talked 10mins none stop gj XD
I’ve never seen a video say “no views”
Bro same🤦♂️
you haven't been on CZcams long enough.
Benedict as the Dragon in The Hobbit
Soooo awesome!!!!😁😁😁😁
Idk what to comment to get likes without watching the video
8:06 "- in War for the planet of the apes she returned this time playing Cornelius son, Cornelius"
3:35 This explains why Colossus' arms look a bit short, the stand in was on lifters. They lengthened his legs, but didn't match the arms proportionally.
My favorite is TJ Storm, who played Godzilla in 2014 and King of the Monsters, as well as a bunch of others
I got introduced by Motion Capture and Facial Motion Capture by the Ted movies from Seth Macfarlane
Well i guess thank you James Cameron for pushing technology to make Avatar!
Boris Karloff played Doctor Frankenstein's MONSTER.
Interesting stuff.
I am Pakistani and I am a big suppotor Hollywood VFX. One of the best ever. I am inspire KING KONG 2005 movie my debut film Hollywood in 2007. Andy serkis one of the best Actor strongest actor in world my Favourite I am inspire Andy character like Caesar, planet of Appes,...Gollum....Lord of the ring Triology.
If you want to meet the actor who plays collosus come to Athens con 2019
Andy Serkis has also done motion captured and appearances in video games. 😎👍
Tom Cruise act by self without cgi and stunmant, maybe...
i see planet of the apes literally everywhere when it comes to video's about cgi
That was cool.
-_- ...
* Sees ToyStory4 scene *
UwU * Nods *
What is this about the Porgs? I saw another site said the Porgs were all digital and used to cover up native birds that kept interfering with the shooting. So that's not true?
Jason Hagar I heard that too! I should stop getting my information from the internet I guess
so they pay 2 people for one caracter? one for the voice and one for the cgi.
I don't think it should be a special category. Best actor is best actor, "live", CGI, MoCap or whatever.
Not Frankenstein. Frankensteins Monster!
The actor for Dumbo is cute but 5:23 is creepy
The guy from shape of water! Hasn’t he been in a ton of things?
Doug Jones.
Avishek D he’s the dude in Star Trek Discovery playing Sa’ru, Pan In Pan’s Labyrinth and the freaky white monster with eyes in his hands, the fish guy in Hellboy and numerous other creatures from countless movies and TV shows like Buffy, it’s his whole thing.
Robert Downey has said when Iron Man is wearing the helmet it is a stunt man. Just like James Earl Jones never wore the Darth Vader costume.
Can someone tell me why Sean Gunn didn’t have the same mocap suits as the others? His is all green instead of those grey pyjamas with dots on
nice
Paul Lowe was also a stunt preformer and double for dumbo.
7:21 that guy looks like Gorge Loki’s
... and i only came here for Benedict Cumberbatch as Smaug...
Forgot Alan Tudyk performing Sonny in I, Robot 2004. Yeah, probably not such a 'famous' CGI character but very good anyways.
Isn't that actor who played Sonny from "I am Robot"?
How naive I was, thinking movies and cg characters are easy to make.
Today it's performance capturing, not motion capturing.
These are the real actors!!!
Who misses grant Thompson😭❤
Salazar in pirate of Caribbean
If you watch endgame again you can see Kraglin arrive at the final battle with the other ravagers and he now has Yondus old mohawk attached.
He has it since the guardians vol. 2 midcredit scene
Martin Martinez yeah duh. And he sucked so bad that he shot Drax in the leg. You seem to have missed the point. The fact that he is still wearing it when arriving to battle shows that he's improved enough that he's confident to use it in a real fight. It's a positive piece of personal growth and an interesting addition to his arc as a character and it's all done in the background of one shot in a movie made years after the last time we saw him.
I want leran CGI where I can? Advice?
Wait if they don’t show their faces how do you know that it’s them?
It had to be Alita in the beginning
Too Many unnecessary animals in "The last jedi"!
8:09 Caesar's son Cornelius.
Xpress ful flim name please
Dumbo would make alot more money without cgi :D
Yay
And me dressed as a green screen
Where is smaug and ultron
The actor that played Colossus is actualy Serbian and not Russian
Alita ruin my childhood because the..(sniff)..the little homeless dog
Where is Davy Jones???
Too Much CGI Was VERY DISAPPOINTING.
What about Doug Jones?
Doug Jones is more a make up/prosthetics actor
Alita is a cyborg not robot.
No I am 😬😬
Is this a publicity for undone?
