      I've heard stories of apes having to get facial surgery, and when they are brought back to the enclosure, other apes will see that something looks off and will attack. They're also known to go crazy if they see people with dwarfism and try to attack.

      I'm guessing most animals don't notice it. Half of them lose their shit when they see themselves in a mirror and get ready to fight it. Smarter animals...maybe. But if they have no knowledge that fake versions of them even exist, they'll probably assume it's just a f**ked up version of their species. Maybe their uncanny valley lies with other senses, like smell instead of us using sight?

    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.

    I notice a lot of what they do is create systems that make it easier for the artists to work. For example, it is amazing that they built a system to grow trees in a realistic manor, but the end goal is to make it easier for the artist to consitrate on other details.

    I’ve been watching you guys (and girls) for so long. This is by far my most favourite episode. Amazing. It’s not like I didn’t have respect for VFX artists before.. but wow, you’re artists. And anyone that wants to delve into this amazing world and art, you have my full respect and love. Thank you. ❤

    Great to see you on one of my favorite channels Erik! You were always talented back in high school. I had heard that you went to work at Weta. I have followed your career over the internet. It is great to see you on the couch with the Corridor Crew. Your work on Gollum was amazing as of course was your work on Cesar and the rest of the apes.

    I actually watched these movies for the first time over the past couple of days, and I floored by how stellar the CGI was. It genuinely captured the emotions the actors were attempting to portray as an ape, and because of that, it made it easier to get invested into the movies and conflict. I'd never seen any of them, but was always confused why we kept getting more of them. I'm very happy to say that not only did it blow away my expectations, but I now say that more people should see them and enjoy them. Because they are genuinely very good, which was something I wasn't expecting to say after seeing them.

    Last month I finally got around to seeing Dawn and War. They blew my mind. Dawn is almost 10 years old and it still looks amazing. I’m so glad Corridor did this video. So many questions I had were answered and questions I didn’t think of were answered too. I could listen to Erik Winquist talk shop for hours. These recent Planet of the Apes movies are better than I ever thought they would be back when Rise was announced. Hoping to see Kingdom next week.

    When I was younger I had a whole “ape” phase and these movies were a huge part of it. I’m 19 now but last year I finally got the chance to go to San Francisco where the first movie is set, so I brought my childhood chimp mask and made pictures with the mask at all the landmarks featured in the movie. If you’re reading this, Erik, you for those happy memories!

    Would absolutely love to see you guys talk about the original Planet of the Apes movies as well. Even the Tim Burton one from 2001. It would be cool to hear about the make-up effects from an industry pro. Like a "VFX Make-up Artists React" video series I think could be really fun.

    3:24 this shot Wren is talking about is the only shot i saw of the film before it released, and it was all i needed to see to want to see the movie. I didn't watch any other trailers. Same with the second one, 10:18 All I saw was just this shot of Caesar in the tree in the rain, and that was it, it had me with that shot. And after that I just stopped watching anything, as soon as i saw there was a new Apes movie, I just waited till it came out. I love all these films, including the new one. I really hope they keep them going and eventually get to time travelling Taylor coming from the ship that disappeared in the short references to it in Rise of The Planet of The Apes

    Thank you for giving so much credit for the facial animators. Because their work - Especially on War - was absolutely mind blowing. The acting was fantastic. But the fact that so many people forgot that the final animation was key animated and not driven by the mocap is just so sad... Especially for hundreds of animators/leads and sups that worked tirelessly to translate these great actors performances into Apes faces. At this point it was their performances just as much as the actual actors!
