WAR FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES

Role: Senior Writer / Creative Strategist

Concept: With motion capture playing a huge role in the Apes franchise, we thought we'd give a fan the experience of a lifetime and let them become an ape in Caesar's army. We filmed a special contest announcement with director Matt Reeves and star Andy Serkis, which featured the first footage of the movie and premiered on AMC during an episode of The Walking Dead. Fans uploaded videos of their best ape impersonations to YouTube. The finalists were identified and then the filmmakers chose the winner. She was flown to set and suited up in mocap gear to play an ape in the film.
