San Diego Comic-Con KINGDOM OF THE PLANEL OF THE APES VFX Magic Panel

Talking Apes TV: A Planet of the Apes Podcast

Welcome to this special Comic-Con edition of Talking Apes!

This is the panel held on July 25 titled, ‘Unveiling the VFX magic: 20th Century Studios’ Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes”

SUMMARY: Delve into the technical and human elements that created the visual effects masterpiece – Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes – with some of the best VFX talent in the business! Join lead cast members Freya Allen, Kevin Durand, Owen Teague, and Peter Macon alongside visualization supervisor Casey Pyke, Wētā FX visual effects supervisor Erik Winquist and one of the film’s editors, Dan Zimmerman, as they unveil the VFX magic behind the majestic beasts and battles in bringing director Wes Ball’s vision to life.

This is the full audio recording. For those listeners with sensitive ears, a fight between a fan and the CC security broke out at about the halfway point, and there were a few curse words. The panel host quickly got things back on track and we were on our way.

I got the chance to represent Talking Apes with a question during the Q&A. They asked to keep the questions short but that wasn’t going to happen since I wanted my question about easter eggs to be answered by all the panelists.

I’ve been to the mountain and came back with even more content.

• I posted the ‘Enter the Forbidden Zone’ exhibit on @skywalkingpod IG account, and there’s another video coming your way from that exhibit.

• I also posted pics on the FB group of the NECA figures and cosplayers.
