When it comes to performance capture,
and movement choreography And Serkis is not the only name in town. Terry Notary
has worked on high profile pictures including the last Fantastic Four movie,
and the Apes franchise. Now in an interview to Movies.com, Notary revealed what we
can expect from The Thing.
"I'd worked with Jamie on Tin-tin,
so they had me come out and work with him on that character a little bit. I was
talking to Jamie about it and thought it was just a whiteface character.
Everything is pulled out through the soul. There's very, very little expression
in the face, if any at all, so everything has to live through the soul and the
eyes. Everything. The subtleties of the physicality when standing
there...you're a rock. You're made of rock, so you can't be super subtle but
you can be if you sense that emotion coming out through the soul and the eyes.
We had him just holding this neutral expression and just pouring the soul out
of his eyes while walking through this space, while obviously being grounded with
weight and mass and gravitas that's so important and does take a lot of work.
It's not something that comes easy. You have to create this sense of thick
space and you're carrying yourself with different parts of your body depending
on the emotion of the character and the development of the character. I mean,
he's a kid trapped in a rock, and so how does that kid become a man after that
experience? Through that evolution and that journey he moves from this sort of
worried place to his pack that carries him through. It's figuring that stuff
out and Jamie is just such a super talented actor. He's so physical and great
with his body. He can really articulate emotions through his body well."
