How To Walk Like an Ape (for Motion Capture)

- For the new movie Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, motion-performance actors went through some schooling to teach them to walk like quadrupeds. We chatted with Apes' movement choreographer Terry Notary about how to act and move like an ape, and take a hands-on lesson!

he definitely spent a lot of time studying the apes, he really looks authentic, even his facial expression
yep
Wow this guy is really good, I literally clapped for his acting.
Same guy who made and learned all the MC for LOTR and Hobbit :)
Viktor Bengtsson Really? Thanks for sharing, internet has hope =)
Viktor Bengtsson Are you thinking of Andy Serkis? Terry Notary did some movement choreography on the Hobbit movies but nothing for LOTR.
JuberLOL Yeah, Andy Serkis was in hobbit and LOTR, and plays Cesar in the new Rise of the Planet of the Apes movie, but this guy, as introduced, obviously is not Serkis.
poggymoose Lol much the same here. Although it made a lot more sense after a quick a google search and found that he was apparently a performer in Cirque du Soleil. Spent his entire life developing his strength, flexibility and proprioception in addition to acting/performing.
3:38 7 year old me going up the stairs
I'm 31 and I still walk up the stairs on all fours (hands and feet), usually in a dog-like fashion- almost a trot.
Dude I want those extensions. I would love walk places with them, eat bananas, and chase people.
Ah yes chasing people
well that could have been about ten minutes longer
Felt so too. Looks like he's being interviewed by multiple shows though, not just tested.
I agree! but this was shot at a press junket, so they gave me a strict 4-minute time limit before cutting off the camera.
Tested
Regardless of time limit it was still really neat.
Tested I also would have loved a longer segment, but it was really high quality for the short time video, and it was very entertaining and informative:) Great video Norm!
yeah, definitely have a better appreciation for motion capture now, and excited to see how it evolves/improves. would've loved to see more of the subtleties behind simulating the different apes species
2 things, 1) this really gets me interested in the animal biology.. i would never have thought about the actors needing to learn how to walk like an ape, it really interested me and 2) that guy has a great butt.. ima guy too but still... definitely a video for the female viewers
As an actor myself, I will give away a secret... Yes, making the noises is 100% necessary
And fun! ,-)
Half the fun is channeling your inner kid again and just … playing. Damn the goofiness.
❤
Norman is a fantastic interviewer. He really likes what he does and he is very enthusiastic about the questions he asks and the questions are very simple but relevant. This interview was very insightful. Great job.
I remember when I broke both of my legs within a month of each other as a kid. I have a rare genetic condition called Osteogenesis Imperfecta (Brittle Bones). I remember walking in a similar way with my crutches. Lol. Luckily for me, my many lower body fractures growing up left me with a lot of upper-body strength. I used to walk on my hands a lot instead of using crutches. Anyway, I can't wait to see the movie. It looks great for only being PG-13.
Terry is fantastic. He worked with Peter Jackson and Andy Serkis on Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit. From watching all of the bts for both of those films, Terry seems like a great guy. Extremely talented as everyone can tell.
WOW!! What an awesome actor. He was in character and made the animals come to life that he was portraying.
I'm animating a gorilla in CG (keyframed).....wow, as reference it is amazing, not only the motion, but the explanation of behavior, thank you so much !
I am, with no exaggeration, in awe
i love how quickly and absolutely he just switches into character
Wow, that's amazing.This gives me a new respect for motion acting.
The way he moved like the different great apes was *chef's kiss*
WHERE CAN I GET THOSE
This movie is AMAZING! Saw it last night
Great one....loved his acting!!
True talent! Awesome acting :D
Dude, I love apes, and this guy legit move EXACTLY like the real deal.
Cool video! Really impressive performance from Terry!
That's was a really great video, thanks for sharing!
Great video and good advice Terry!
I can't wait to see this movie.
This is so great!
I need to get/make those arm extensions, I bet running with those gives the best cardio ever. Maybe adding some padding at the end of the arm extension, like with prosthetic running blades.
Yes, but I feel like breaking your arm with them would be really easy. If they get caught on something and you try and move your legs it's like a lever snapping your arms in two.
Fantastic video!
This is brilliant!
For once, I thought the background was green screen composite.
Great video.
This is seriously good! xD Damn.
its his breathing what put its all together, kudos
Now that I've done it it feels so natural, and fun too! Also a great excersize, I'm worn out lol 😂
RedFox Cat same
Fantastic video quality!!
What camera was used to shoot this?
This is awesome!!!!
This is very awesome.
It's really amazing
Really interesting video. Great.
Don't quit your day job, Norm.
His acting is incredible
that acting is amazing
very good video, congratulations tested!
This guy is amazing.
This is amazing xD i'm actually getting the itch to exercise like this outdoors then to run like every one does lol
Amazing
Amazing acting... wow
WOW !! how far we came. I am very glad that we no longer need to use animals to get the same experience.
Btw this guy is awesome.
Amazing !!!
Amazing acting
That was amazing
That's awesome!!!
That's impressive as all hell. Terry Notary. I'll remember that name.
That is preeeeeetty damn cool. Pretty, pretty cool.
He's pretty damn good at reenacting the mannerisms
That was awesome
Thats amazing
that was amazing! O_O
The dude is awesome!
I need a set of those arm extensions.
Where could I get those arm extenders, looks like a great workout....
Really cool :)
I used to this is childhood as a fun, wtf someone made multiple movies using this technique 😅
That's really cool :)
brilliant!
I want this mans job
This guy knows his stuff.
that's amazing
This guy is good!
I love this. We are apes. I feel such a strong instinctual feel with the chimp noise. Video is way too short, Norm should have tried more and harder. I gotta look up more of the pros doing it.
This guy is really good
That was very convincing.
those hand extensions look awesome! where could I get a pair if I was so inclined to purchase one?
+igrgic1 just make them :P
Wow. This guy is an expert.
Woah, he's awesome
Where can I buy some of those extended swing arms.
Man that guy is good!
That guy is impressive!
This guy did his homework. It really shows.
He's really good :o
I have handicapped kids that have balance issues and those devices would be awesome for them for short transfers. How can I get my hands on those shortened crutches?
You should know I really enjoyed this one.
(Coming from someone who watches 1/10 of the videos you upload)
halo bang kristo, berkat sg lu gw langsung carik tutorial nya. Thanks untuk malam gabutku👍
Watching this makes me miss the three month period I spent crutch walking after breaking my ankle. So good for the deltoids...
Precious
that was scary good
cool dude
they should have made those height stuff in arms have a shape that can grip the poles so they can also do the brachiation animations with cgi
well actually they can also brachiate without them too so no need for them
well actually they can also brachiate without them too so no need for them
It's fascinating how they make films these days, very realistic in a strange way.
I am going to the cinema right now
What do they use to walk with
He is incredibly good! But I still couldn't help to laugh a bit xD
But well done to him! :)
Peak evolution 👌
He is truly returning to monke
he's very good
PLEASE tell me where or how I could get these
Where can I get some of then arm extesions
Where do you get thoes arm thangs
Why isn't this a trend sport yet? Seems like a sub-category of parcours. Where can I get crutches like these?
There’s something similar called quadrobics. They don’t use these crutches or necessarily walk exactly like this, it’s just walking/running/jumping on all fours.
I'd like to see that actor trying to imitate Norm. Now that'd be a real challenge! ^_^
I'm using this for a Halloween costume, I'm going to use crutches and foot stilts, or just hand stilts I'm so exited 🦍🦍😆😆🤗🎃🎃🎃🎃
