Great to meet you, Brendan James Stapleton. Happy New Year! It's pretty cool that you're a Mime Artist. I think you're the first one I've met. What's an Ape Coordinator?

I suggest adding a bio to your profile. It’ll help you build relationships/network on here. You could add things to your bio like why you became an Actor/Dance Choreographer/etc., your accomplishments, your goals, and what movies and shows you like.

An Ape Coordinator is the choreographer who not only is the Movement Director but trains the Actors how to perform as Ape/Primates.

I was main Ape on "Tarzan and the Lost City" starring alongside Casper Van Dein(Starship Troopers), Jane Marsh and Steve Waddington(Last of the Mohicans).

The recent Tarzan feature film was a remake of the above!

Maurice Vaughan

That's cool, Brendan James Stapleton! I saw the recent Tarzan movie, but I need to check out Tarzan and the Lost City. Do you know if they used Ape Coordinators for the Planet of the Apes movies?

Brendan James Stapleton

They used CGI with a Ballet trained Contemporary Choreographer who received a trip to Derby UK over seven days.

I was sent on location to the jungle in South Africa for seven weeks.

Good old technology!

This is reference to the recent Tarzan film.
