Rise of the Planet Apes Movie Animation

How did they do that? CGI of course. What most people are talking about right now in terms of special effects at the movies, is the realistic ape Caesar from Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes. Its no surprise that this stunning 3d character was created by Weta. Nope, it’s not an actual chimp. Most of you probably realized that by now. It was most likely performance captured and driving a facial rig created by animators. This is far better looking than the young Jeff Bridges from Tron Legacy. At times in the trailer I do see certain aspects that make it look cgi. The most being the baby chimp version of Caesar, but you can’t have everything perfect.

During experiments to find a cure for Alzheimer's disease, a genetically-enhanced chimpanzee uses its greater intelligence to lead other apes to freedom. Rise of the Planet of the Apes is a 2011 American science fiction film directed by Rupert Wyatt. The film stars James Franco and Andy Serkis. It is a reboot of the Planet of the Apes series. It is intended to act as a foundation with its own origin story for a new film series. Its premise is similar to the fourth film in the original series, Conquest of the Planet of the Apes (1972), but it is not a direct remake in that it does not fit into that series' continuity. It was released in the United States, Canada and India on August 5, 2011. The film was both a critical and commercial box office success.

Three chimpanzees are captured in an African jungle from their troop by poachers and shipped to San Francisco. Will Rodman is a scientist at pharmaceutical company Gen-Sys who has been trying to develop a cure for Alzheimer's disease by testing a genetically engineered gene therapy on 12 chimps. The drug mutates the chimpanzees, giving them a human level of intelligence. The most successful subject, a female chimp named Bright Eyes, goes on a rampage because she believes her baby, to whom she secretly gave birth, is threatened; she is killed disrupting a board meeting where Will is presenting the cure.
