trilogy, Serkis has, according to BAFTA, both pioneered the evolving art of performance capture and widened the parameters of what it means to be an actor in the 21st century. "I’m deeply honoured and thrilled to receive this award, and count myself extremely lucky to be on such a continually fascinating journey in visual storytelling, one that has given me the opportunity to collaborate with many of the world’s greatest artists, technologists and craftspeople, with whom I’d like to share this wonderful accolade," said Serkis.
In 2011, Serkis, together with producer Jonathan Cavendish, founded The Imaginarium, a production company and digital studio dedicated to believable and emotionally engaging digital characters using performance capture technology for films and games.
