These people with gray suits on and dots. You just thought of being this kind of subculture kind of subhuman. It kind of got to the point where you didn't even think of being an ape. That's what moved me, and that's what made me laugh. ZAHN: Yes, because in my head, it was really cool because that's all I remember is us, the people with dots on their face. I actually was on the set of the first Apes movie, so I got to see Andy on set doing stuff, but it’s still really interesting to see the four or five actors interacting without seeing the final CG of them as apes. It was really interesting seeing the footage yesterday, which was partially rendered and partially just the actors. To get to that point takes a lot of work.

If you be one, and it's second nature, then it's going to work.

If you pretend you're an ape, it's going to look like sh*t. We don't have ape suits on, so we really have to become apes. Then I started realizing, I was like, "Oh, this is important." It's not about pretending you're an ape, it's about being an ape. " We really kind of went to this essence, this organic thing. He was like, "What is it about apes? What is it about monkeys that. Terry, the first day, we just sat in chairs and looked at each other. You do that." It was more kind of theater work. It was really incredible, because I thought it was going to be a lot more like, "You're a dancer. Terry and I would work for hours every day. I would work all day on stuff and then I would meet up with Terry in the afternoon when they were getting close to wrap. I missed the camp because I was shooting down in Puerto Rico, and then I came in, and they had already started shooting and they said, "Well, you should come in a couple weeks early just so you can get going." And then I got there, and I got really scared and I thought I need more than two weeks. ZAHN: Andy was shooting, so I came in while they were shooting, so me and Terry Notary, who's kind of the guy as far as movement. When I went into it, it was really kind of an eye opening new thing.ĭid you have a lot of time to rehearse or work with Andy before you got on set and started shooting? Motion capture, I really kind of understood it in a sentence, but not at all. So I've kind of stayed naïve to a lot of things in this business. You know what, honestly? I'm kind of one of those guys that it's fun to pretend I know what's going on, and I do know what's going on, but I've learned over the years that the more you know, it kind of slows you down and it doesn't necessarily help you.

Oh my God!" I said, "You know, I really don't want to see one." I kind of know what he looks like I kind of get the idea. (laughs) We were like well into shooting and they were like, "You know, the ape!” and I'm like, "No, I've never seen the rendered picture." They were like, "You're kidding. STEVE ZAHN: You know what? They all assume that I saw this picture and I didn't. Since they’ve been making these apes for a couple years now, you must have known about the mocap stuff beforehand, but did Matt show you a picture of the chimp they used as a basis for Bad Ape? What was your introduction to him? Collider: I was at the presentation yesterday where they introduced Bad Ape.
