Andy Serkis used "body-popping experts" to bring villain Ultron to life in 'The Avengers' sequel.
The motion capture genius was asked by Marvel Studios to work on 'The Avengers: Age Of Ultron' to perfect the movements of the megalomaniac robot - played by James Spader - in the superhero movie.
Serkis - who runs The Imaginarium studio, which specialises in CGI acting - used an array of different dancers and other experts to figure out how the character should move, speak and walk.
Speaking in the new issue of Empire magazine, he said: "We did some work on Ultron. On the development of Ultron before James Spader came on board. In terms of movement styles was he going to be human-like? Was he going to be robot-like? So we worked with a bunch of different people, from body-popping experts to dancers, to this guy called Neil who's nearly eight feet tall."
Serkis and his studio also helped Mark Ruffalo with his portrayal of The Hulk, especially how to master the angry green giant's roar.
The 'Dawn of the Planet of the Apes' star said: "We gave Mark weights, we had voice projections so he could do his Hulk roar. On screen we could have a virtual representation of the low-res avatar of The Hulk, so he could come out and feel that sense of scale."
'The Avengers: Age Of Ultron' also sees Robert Downey, Jr. return as Iron Man, Chris Hemsworth back as Thor, Chris Evans reprising his role of Captain America, Scarlett Johansson donning Black Widow's catsuit one more and Jeremy Renner returning as Hawkeye.
The Marvel sequel is scheduled for a May 2015 release.

Frank Grillo will star as Crossbones in 'Captain America: Civil War'.
The 51-year-old actor will return for the third movie in the Marvel franchise, in which viewers will see him transform from Brock Rumlow into the super-villain.
Talking about the evil comic book character, he said: "He's a bad ass, he is just vicious. I like the idea that it's no holds barred. I love the physicality. We all know what Crossbones represents in his world."
The film is the follow-up to 2014 movie 'Captain America: The Winter Soldier' in which the actor starred as Brock, and explained how proud he feels to have been asked to return for the next movie.
He said: "[Winter Soldier] was only a taste of what's to come with the next film, and I couldn't be more humbled and excited."
The announcement means the 'Prison Break' actor will join Daniel Bruhl for the film, in which he is believed to be playing an unidentified villain.
Last month, it was reported Robert Downey Jr. was also in talks to join the movie, which would see the 'Iron Man' star bring his iconic character into the 'Captain America' franchise, for which he would earn $40 million.
'Captain America: Civil War' is set to be released on May 6 2016, with Joe and Anthony Russo returning to direct the film.

Alan Cumming tells people who don't recognise him that he's a porn star.
The 'Smurfs 2' actor enjoys pretending he's an erotic actor when people realise they've seen him before but can't quite place where he's from, and if he's not feeling quite as daring then he tells people he's an artist.
He said: "Usually they know, but I love it if they don't. Sometimes I say, 'Oh, I'm an artist.'
"Then sometimes if people say, 'Where do I know you from?' I always say, 'Do you watch a lot of porn?' "
While the 49-year-old actor - who is married to graphic artist Grant Shaffer - enjoys meeting people and starring in Broadway show 'Cabaret', he also "craves" having time to himself because his life is so busy.
He explained: "I crave it because I get so little of it. A couple of weeks ago I was going to San Francisco for my book and Grant, my husband, is from there so he'd gone a few days earlier to see his mum.
"I was on my own in our apartment, it was so weird I breathed such a sigh of relief."
Alan admits he has a lot more self-awareness nowadays because of social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook, but also puts it down to his "years of therapy".
When asked if he's always been self-aware, the Scottish-born star - who had a very violent childhood - added to Metro newspaper: "Not as self-aware as I am now. I think years of therapy will do that for you, also years of reading stuff about you.
"Hearing what people think of you, what message people get from what you do - that makes you self-aware.
"Things like Twitter and Facebook kind of replicate what it's like to be famous because you put images out there and stuff about you, and you don't know who sees it."

Tori Spelling wants to get her breast implants removed and display them in a glass dome on her wall.
The 41-year-old reality TV star is keen to have her fake boobs taken out because they have "expired and recalled" and should have been replaced 15 years ago, but the blonde admitted she doesn't want to forget her implants completely and would love it if they were displayed in her house.
Speaking to husband Dean McDermott on their reality show, 'True Tori', she joked: "How are you going to feel about me having flaps there?
"Why don't we put them in a glass dome and I could put that on a wall next to my first bouquet from my marriage?"
The couple - who tied the knot in 2006 - discussed Tori's possible breast removal while attending a therapy session in the episode, and she later talked over the state of her assets with plastic surgeon Dr. Ashkan Ghavami, who explained her implants were in a "pretty bad way".
He explained: "There's different degrees of the breast hardening. There's one, two, three, four. Yours is three, so it's pretty bad. It's almost as bad as it could be."
While Tori was contemplating whether to get her implants removed immediately or in a couple of months, which she joked sounded like a "boob vacation", the doctor admitted she could end up with "pancakes" if she waited too much longer.
The mother-of-four - who has children, sons Liam, seven and Finn, two, and daughters Stella, four, and Hattie, three, with Dean - has previously admitted she regrets getting breast implants when she was younger.
Speaking in 2011, she said: "I got my boobs done in my early 20s and if I had known it would or could possibly impact production of milk, I would never had had them done."

Prince has removed himself from social media.
The 'Little Red Corvette' hitmaker has deleted his Instagram, Twitter and Facebook accounts and removed his work from YouTube and Soundcloud, just a year after joining the social networking websites.
However, his two latest albums, 'Art Official Age' and 'Plectrum Electrum' remain available to stream on Spotify and his official YouTube channel still features three videos, one of an old interview and two clips of the track 'Breakfast Can Wait'.
He hasn't given an explanation behind the abrupt move, which comes just over a month after he took part in a fan question and answer session on his Facebook page.
After being inundated with messages, he opted to answer just one question about sound frequencies by submitting a link to a lengthy article on the subject.
In 2010, the 56-year-old star declared "the internet is completely over," and he once threatened to sue YouTube, along with eBay and torrent sites for illegally distributing his music.
At the beginning of the year, Prince abandoned plans to sue 22 alleged bootleggers for $1 million each after accusing them of posting footage of his concerts online.
The proposed legal action caused controversy because some of the sites named in the suit were fansites, causing fury among his devoted supporters.
One forum user wrote at the time: "Yes, bootlegging is wrong, but ... who is next? Dude will even go after regular ass fans ... really sad. Prince will be remembered for making some of the most beautiful music ever created and for hating his fans."

Pharrell Williams says asking him if he wants to go out partying is like asking a McDonalds worker "if they want chicken nuggets for dinner".
Despite being a successful singer, the 41-year-old star insists he's not a big fan of going out and getting drunk and having a dance because he experiences enough entertainment when he is performing to a crowd and throwing plenty of shapes.
Speaking to Arabic language magazine Ahlan! in Abu Dhabi, he said: "I'm not the biggest partier. It's kind of like asking someone from McDonalds would they like some nuggets for dinner, that's what you do all day."
While the 'Happy' hitmaker - who has a six-year-old son Rocket with wife Helen Lasichanh - isn't too bothered about going out partying, he will be having a bash to remember at new year as he has splashed out on an epic set of fireworks ready to see in 2015.
He added: "I'll probably be bringing in the New Year with an unimaginable set of fireworks that'll be going off. That in itself will be different."
Pharrell is famous for his singing ability, including being the frontman of rock, funk, and hip hop band N.E.R.D, but he is also known for his trademark Vivienne Westwood Buffalo hat, which he wore at this year's Grammy Awards in January, and he cannot believe his headgear is still a big talking point.
He said: "I think it's awesome that we're still talking about it right now even though I've not worn in ages. Who knew? You don't do things for attention; you do things because of the way you're feeling in that moment."
