Season 4 – Episode 02 – TERRY NOTARY: Creature Performance & Movement choreography

Victoria chats to the incredible performer and movement choreographer Terry Notary who has contributed so much to the performance capture industry.  Notary's first career was as a performer with Cirque du Soleil. His first job as a stunt movement coach was on Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Director Ron Howard was hiring Cirque gymnasts for the film, and after sufficiently impressing Howard, Terry was offered the job of teaching all the actors how to move. Notary followed this new career path to Tim Burton's Planet of the Apes, for which he prepared by studying ape movements at the LA County Zoo. Terry's first motion capture film was Avatar, where he was the movement coach for the Na'vi. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
