00:00Well hi there, I'm Keith Arbuthnot and I'm playing the Apex Alien on Invasion Season 3.
00:17Welcome to my world. This is a special gig for me because it's a performance capture.
00:25The first discussions with visual effects were that it was going to be simple, basically
00:31giving the actor something that they could interact with. But when we went into rehearsals,
00:37I told them that we could bring in all the other elements. For production, I made this
00:43head that goes on top of the rig, which takes me up to six and a half feet. But I also,
00:48for the actors, added a little something for them to be able to focus on.
00:55Actors really appreciate having whatever it is in the space. It allows people to feel how
01:01it might feel to have something as large as the Apex Alien in the same shot.
01:06One of the things that has come in very handy for getting and maintaining an emotional connection
01:12is direction. Starting each and every day with how we are, how we feel in the scene. Doing
01:17my best to emote some form of emotional connection to the other actors so that they have something
01:23to bounce off of. Once we're done shooting with me, remove me from the scene and then they
01:29bring in the Apex Alien. And that's a wrap on the Apex Alien on Invasion Season 3.
01:44Hey Aaron, can you get me a coffee?
