Empire got a chance to talk with Weta senior visual effects supervisor Joe Leterri.

Here's what he had to say:

"The main thing we're trying to do is create these completely believable ape characters and treat them completely in a live-action sense, This actually grew most directly out of what we were doing on Avatar, but here we brought the motion capture completely onto the live-action stage. We had to hide all of the motion-capture cameras all over the live-action sets. And so we could have Andy Serkis, and any of the other actors playing the apes in the set with the [non-ape] actors actually performing."

Andy Serkis is probably the best motion capture actor ever! Right next to Doug Jones as well, but he's more entoned with make up I've noticed. Gollum to King Kong, now Planet of the Apes, there's nothing stoping him.
