The Navis didn't know that the avatar is controlled by a human at first, right? Where did they think these avatar come from then? I think it was mentioned that the 'sky people' (which means human) sent them? And how are they able to tell the avatar isn't one of them? By the way they dress?

I think I missed that part.

i wonder is the navi's inside the movie is real person acting or purely cgi? i just cant different it at all. looks soo real

already watch Avatar the making at astro couple days ago....
The navi's are totally CGI
if u watch the making...
they use human muscular face (with dot) to copy face movement in cgi...
thats y we see its so real and this tech quite new...
u can see the different if u watch terminator salvation which they create arnold with funny face..
y happen like that... its because they create...

for avatar.. the computer copy the movement from real actor faces...



p/s : maybe somebody here have best explanation about creating movement in cgi using real person..

Steven Spielberg:
The last time I came out of a movie feeling that way it was the first time I saw Star Wars.” … “The most evocative and amazing science-fiction movie since Star Wars.”

Pixar Animator Andrew Gordon:
“We were blown away. Hats off to all the amazing artists that were involved with making that film. You guys really set the bar high. I was immersed in the story and characters. The animation/motion capture was superb. You could tell every frame was touched by an animator, mocap or not. I have not felt like that since I was a kid… The facial animation was so believable… Every eye dart, every movement of the brows communicated things so clearly. The world was so lush. I can’t wait to see it again!  Some of the guys saw it in 2d and liked it just as much. The way to experience it in my opinion is 3d Imax. Cameron really knows how to push and pull the depth.”

Lost co-creator and Star Trek producer Damon Lindelof:
“I’ll say what others won’t. Avatar hypnotized me. I’m not sure if it’s a work of genius or utter shit. Could it be BOTH?”

X2 and Superman Returns director Bryan Singer:
“It was very cool. I had seen 30-40 minutes before, but the whole thing was amazing. From the beginning, with those shots in space, I felt goosebumps. It was inspiring. I’m going back and forth, debating, on using 3D for “Jack,” and it pushed me a little closer in the 3D direction.”

Here is the vid:

Different people different taste, but Avatar is the one and only movie that I actually paid twice to watch in cinema. First in normal then 3D, some more with my wife and 2 kids.

Having watched 2D at GSC@1 Utama and 3D at Cathay@Cineleisure, I felt that the sound system of GSC was much superior to Cathay.

"James Cameron: I would say that my father was completely unsupportive in any way, shape or form, and was really sort of just sharpening his knives waiting for me to fail so that he could say, "Ah-ha, I was right. You should have gone into engineering." And it was also this sort of attitude of, "Well, you know, one of these days you'll get a real job and this film thing, you know, will pass as a fad." So there was zero support there. And I actually think that it made me angry enough that I had to succeed. I think if I had a soft, rosy, supportive kind of "It's good if you do it, but if it doesn't work out..." sort of thing that it would have been different. But it kind of made me mad, and I had to prove that I was right, that this was the right thing to be doing and I think it made me mad enough to get good, you know."

need all lowyatians opinion on this:
