Yes.

Don't worry, it'll be years before you need to watch more.

Plot twist: this was all for The Imitation Game, which featured a fully CGI Alan Turing

I really enjoyed that movie.

I wonder how awkward it is in that room just watching him do that

He is a trained actor, throw him in a black box and put a skull in his hand and without blinking he will start acting Hamlet.

Sherlock: The Lost Episode.

So does anyone have a clip from the movie this matches up to?

Not on me but its the very last scene in the second movie
Watchoutitsaflyingcatcactus
In my memory, the movie had less moving than him here. I feel like this was unnecessary
leahatard
Perhaps necessary for voice inflexion and getting into character?

ok time for the flying scene. flap your arms really really hard. no, harder. HARDER.

You're not generating enough lift! HARDER!
HomelessToddler
Sort of reminds me of the time when south park hired George Clooney but then had him just bark like a dog.
pennemin
Is that the red rocket episode?
HomelessToddler
Good question, I don't remember. I think yhe dog was sparky, season 1 or 2.
Cynistera
They probably are and aren't.. He may have enjoyed getting to act like a dragon. So for the laying down.. This one is skeptical.
HaJinsung
I hear originally they hadn't even hired him. He just showed up like that and started going ham. They were impressed with his dedication.
Demiguise
It was actually his idea. He thought movement might help him get more into character or summat
kootiepatra
I heard that it was to help his voice sound right, actually moving/straining while talking rather than sitting in a booth.
pawesomeopossum
... spotted the Brit.
Frederf
SludgeVohaul
I liked his interpretation of a fire sale.
cryptzicle
Method acting.
GoWithTheFro
Originally, they weren't going to. However, Benadryl Cumberbundtcake insisted that they use him for motion capture.
ionlylooklikeimworking
Omfg that name. I choked on my popcorn
HypersonicHarpist
insisted in this case meaning begged and pleaded until Peter Jackson said "Okay, fine, come and play."
Pgoodso
It wasn't. He literally asked if he could do it, despite the fact that the mo-cap for such a totally non-human creature would be superfluous
HalfPint13
I feel like HE'S fucking with THEM and they just went with it.
Kitakita
Actually, they just needed his voice. Bendthatdick Cuminherbutt just likes getting in character.
QueenCousland
If I remember right, it was his idea and he pushed for it.
Alphatronx3
Fun fact- bendisndi cumberbatch got tips from Andy serkis aka the Gollum and Cesar from planet of the apes
totallyrealname
A lot of it is needed for reference and movement. Exaggeration is better as reference because the artists can find a middle ground.
OddOod
They actually told him he didn't need to, but he wanted to anyway
JSmith90
"Yeah yeah yeah, now pretend your a puppy"
DickDastardly404
they literally fucking told him they only needed his face, but he insisted on the whole getup.
Monk1392
Having the base animation with mo-cap saves so much time
huanthewolfhound
Yay, mouth animation!
hetnkik
Yeah but, like, how much of that has to be reworked to fit dragon anatomy anyway?
HughLaurie
Well you're not going to know exactly which shots are usable, so you get lots of them to choose from.
nommon
The facial capture, on the other hand, is likely 1:1 with only cleanup in post.
ihadtochangemyusernamebecauseIdrawpornasaliving
Rendering expression and movement directly from a source that naturally does those things makes for more fluid, and better animation.
DontLoseYourWay
Yes! I learned that form the Rocket Jump film academy on Youtube!
nommon
It's more like reference. The animators can look at it to match motions with the acting to get the timing and expressions right.
Conradian
Nah they'll just rig the dots to different points on the skeleton and it'll mimic the movements but in a dragon way.
nommon
They can but its so much cleanup and tweaking that most animators prefer to simply use that data as reference (on a dragon, though, likely).
Monk1392
Probably not a lot those dots are points on the 3d model it will read those and know how to move the dragon from then it's only tweaking
OutdoorHuman
Tweaking? Looked more like twerking to me... but then, what do I know
Monk1392
10/10 want to watch smaug twerk
GoddamnitClown
Plenty. When you're turning BenCbatch into a dragon, you're after facial expressions, timings of body movements, maybe some poses and stuff.
KittehHawk
A friend who has a massive man crush on Cumbersnatch argued with me til he was blue in the face that Cumbersnatch doing this makes him (1)
KittehHawk
a better actor. Bullshit.
Kargathia
Enjoying fucking around like there's no tomorrow is a definite acting asset. It's always a good thing if you can enjoy your job =)
