Movement pro helps actors find their 'inner ape'

Terry Notary is Hollywood's human shape-shifter. In a blink, he can become an elf, an ape or almost any other moving creature.

An expert in motion-capture performance, he specializes in bringing non-human characters to life on screen. He's played goblins in The Hobbit, a Who in How the Grinch Stole Christmas and a winged, drag-on-like banshee in Avatar.

In Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, opening on July 11, Notary plays more than 100 primates. He also taught the film's stars and stuntmen how to find their simian side.
