This is going to be really interesting and it's going to take whatever we've seen in the motion-capture world to another degree." That was so amazing and from that point on, I was like, "OK, this is going to work. Just little squinting eyes or little tics in the eyes – all that stuff comes through on the mo-cap character. … But I realized the actor had blue eyes and the orc had brown eyes, so obviously those were CG eyes. The moisture in the eyes, the redness in the eyes and the emotion that came across the eyes. When I looked at the test, I thought they had taken the actor's eyes and actually popped them into the character, because they were so real-looking. That really convinced me this was going to work. They did some preliminary tests and they showed us that. The great thing again is working on set and being able to see it, and not wait until the premiere to see it. That whole process was amazing, just the transformation to go from this to that.
GUL'DAN WARCRAFT 2 HOW TO
We all had to go to this motion school and learn how to move like an orc, and be like an orc, for three weeks with Terry Notary, who worked on the "Apes" films and very early motion-capture stuff. You'll have an idea of how much space this orc is taking up because they are 9 feet tall and huge people, as well as how your body movement is affecting the movement of that character. It's not 100 percent there, but it's probably 50 percent there. I'll be in the motion-capture suit acting it out and then when I look at the playback, I can see a rough image of my character. The amazing thing now about where technology has gone is we can actually see it while we are making it. That is what was very real and humanistic about this story.ĭid they actually show you a representation of your character so you had that reference? There's good and bad people in North Korea. There's bad and good, just like in humanity – in any race, in any culture or in any country.

That's the thing that was compelling with Duncan's script is that it's not some simplistic black-and-white world. "We're evil orcs, and all the orcs are evil, and the humans are good." It's a combination of both. There's good and evil forces, but it's not because of the species. There are some humans that also want to use the Fel to corrupt the human population as well. There are orcs that are suspicious of the Fel and that are fighting against me and my revolution to use this Fel to save our people. It's really about the idea of good and bad in general, and not over any species. There is good and bad in the orc world, and there is good and bad in the human world. What is interesting about this script is it's not just humans versus these monsters. He's kind of like a mad dictator in some ways, in that he believes this is the only way his species can survive. He believes this is what they need to ensure the survival of their species. There is good magic and there is bad magic in this world, and this Fel magic is a corrupting magic for his character.

He is dealing with this magic called the Fel magic. So it was a really attractive thing for me to work in this mo-cap world. Coming from Hong Kong, coming from China, where I've been doing most of my work, we don't have that technology yet. You are acting – and your body movement and your voice is all there – but, in appearance, it's this totally different character. That was actually part of the attraction of it for me, mainly because you get to play a character that doesn't look like you at all, in any way, but it is your essence. When you auditioned for this role, what did they tell you what was going to be involved?ĭaniel Wu: I just knew it was going to be a physically demanding motion-capture character, and I had never done motion-capture before. The orc characters are all motion-capture. On the Vancouver set of the Duncan Jones film, Wu spoke with a handful of journalists about attending orc camp, why his wife insisted he audition for the film, and bringing Gul'dan to the big screen. The part required Wu not only to use motion-capture technology for the first time, but also to learn how to move like a 9-foot orc, a feat that required its own training school. The star of AMC’s “Into the Badlands,” in "Warcraft" the Hong Kong-based actor plays Gul’dan, an orc warlock corrupted by dark magic who leads the charge for his kind to abandon their home world and travel to the human kingdom of Azeroth. While the action, special effects and epic scale of “Warcraft” will undoubtedly draw in movie-goers, it was the “humanistic” aspect of the script that Daniel Wu found most compelling.
