Cameron's "Avatar"

[Mr. Socko]

Yeah we all know how ghey CGI is!


I'm expecting this movie to look better than Beowulf, which I thought was amazing. I imagine the CG in here will be near flawless like Davy Jones. CGI is the greatest filmmaking tool ever invented besides film and editing machines.

socko why are you mentioning beowulf here if avatar has nothing to do with this.
there will be real actors in this movie from what we know.

 

[Mr. Socko]

I thought some will be CG?

 

[aaron]

i thought actors on top of cg :/

 

[dark_b]

I thought some will be CG?

but not photorealistic actors.
from what i understand the alien that look a little like humans will be CGI. but part of them will be alien.

or is cameron doing a CGI human only to make it CGI?

 

[Backdrifter]

why do people think this movie is going to break records?
it wont

It may not break any kind of monetary records, but it will certainly change the way films are made in a big way. Cameron is about to give 3D feature films a very big creative push when Avatar hits theaters. This movie already is and will be a very big deal. Cameron has not directed a feature length film since Titanic, and I am sure we all remember that little phenomenon. As you can already see with the release of Beowulf many big name directors are developing their own 3d projects. Spielberg and Peter Jackson are working on a 3D Tintin trilogy, Tim Burton has a 3D Alice in Wonderland feature lined up. I don't think all films will be film in 3D in the future, as some stories just don't need that 3rd dimension, but you can sure as hell bet that the popcorn blockbuster adventure films will be. 3D is awesome and it's only going to get better.

I have no doubt that Cameron will raise the bar once more with this Movie,especially when it comes to the FX.

This film is too far away to logically look forward to...

And to nay-say: How revolutionary can it be, really? It's going to be a story on screen played by actors, CGI or otherwise...

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

After seeing the amazing work done in Beowulf, i am really looking forward to this. Cameron is my favourite director of all time, and i think this movie will be special.

 

[L0ngsh0t]

I think Beowulf looks really poor but everything has to start somewhere I guess

I feel like this movie is going to be pretty lame.

I feel like this movie is going to be pretty lame.

I know, I mean that single image will tell you how the whole 2 hour+ movie will be, especially in 3D, I mean how lame is that?

 

[Mr. Socko]

That looks fantastic. Should look very nice in photorealistic CG interacting with humans.

 

[DorkyFresh]

i like the design, but i hope they're better proportioned. i know they're aliens and all, but that Na'vi chick looks like she's 9 ft tall.

 

[black_dust]

Boobs wooo!!

 

[DorkyFresh]

and not just any kind of boobs....the blue neon lit kind!

and not just any kind of boobs....the blue neon lit kind!

Yeah i love blue boobs.... i was gutted when the blue chick in x-men was killed

 

[dark_b]

i wonder if they will fake subsurface scatering or will they use everyting with raytracing?

 

[DorkyFresh]

blue chicks are hot...

 

[terry78]

Maybe they will be that tall...more humanoid versions of the Kamino cloners. I honestly thought they were animatronics, that's how good they were.

the Kaminoans look VERY realistic, but they were also put in boring, easy to render settings. that was also 5 years ago...so i wouldn't doubt if the Na'vi people look as good, if not better than the Kaminoans.
