Rhythm & Hues animation director Keith Roberts has performed animal characters in Babe, Harry Potter, The Chronicles of Narnia, and Garfield, but until The Incredible Hulk, he had never animated a human character, nor had he worked with motion capture. Perhaps as a result, he approached this project with his eyes wide open. Giant Studios managed the equipment and sessions, providing real-time playback that allowed the performers to see their avatars on stage in Toronto and in Los Angeles. "I had three performers with their own different styles of motion," Roberts says. "I cast the performers per-character and also per-action. Some people don't have a body type suited to certain actions-it's a subtle thing, but I picked up on it straight away."
