Abstract

An essay is presented on several topics including Peter Jackson's design of Kong from the film "King Kong", Jackson's work with actor Andy Serkis, and utilizing motion capture technology, and the high level of digital realism the film was able to achieve. The essay states that Serkis utilizes method acting to create a more authentic psychological experience that makes audiences comfortable with the digital realism of Jackson's computer generated imagery.
