who did the make up for planet of the apes
Planet of the Apes Fox insisted on changes to reduce the budget to a more manageable $5.8 million.[8] The producers hired veteran writer Michael Wilson, who had previously adapted Boulle's novel The Bridge over the River Kwai, to rewrite Serling's script.[9][10] To save on special effects costs, Wilson's script described an ape society more primitive than that which appeared in the novel.[10][11] The new script changed much of the plot and dialogue, but retained the Cold War themes and Serling's ending.[11][12] John Chambers created the innovative makeup effects.[13]
