Have you all seen Avatar yet? Its an incredible movie, Directed by James Cameron who also produced Titanic and Terminator 2. James Cameron has produced some of the biggest selling movies of all time. Alot of the information I got were from the Discovery Channel and the link will take you directly to words with James Cameron.
As he created the movie, He wanted to create aliens that looked like humans but didn't want then to be to much like humans. He wanted to make sure the actors/actresses would show every facial movement, from lips to their eyes. Using a helmet that watched their face in every scene, then they converted it into the aliens.
He then talks about the 3D part of the movie, He didnt want to use gimmicks. Instead he wanted to use the way your eyes worked in real life, like when you hold your hand in front of your face and look past it you see both your hand and the wall. He wanted this so the audience was in the movie, not like we are watching a movie.
I want to talk about Pandora, which is the planet that the movie is located on. The creatures on this planet resemble the real like animals we see everyday. He used our Horses to create the 6 legged horses located on Pandora. When they used the information that we are used to, it made us(the viewer) step into the world and feel like we want to be a part of it.
I thought avatar was a great representation of technolgy in films. While I wasn't the biggest fan of the plot (which seemed a lot like what US settlers did to the Native Americans) as it seemed unoriginal and very much like an old story that has been told many times.
