Meanwhile, chatting to Entertainment Weekly, Serkis has touched upon some of the misconceptions that people have when it comes to motion capture performance:
“I think a lot of people think that you have to almost pantomime the performance or heighten it in some way. What’s illustrated is, in fact, the opposite. And it would be the same if you were playing Caesar or Gollum for that matter, or any character. You don’t exaggerate facial expressions. You’re not pushing through any false artifact.”
