At the premiere(首映式) of the film Rise of the Planet of the Apes(黑猩猩),a group of excited animal activists gathered on Hollywood Boulevard.

The creative team behind the film Rise of the Planet of the Apes used motion-capture(动态捕捉) technology to create digitalized apes, spending tens of millions of dollars on technology that records an actor’s performance and later covers it with computer drawings to create a final image.In this case, one of a realistic-looking ape.
