With a twosome of months still to go beforeJames Cameron‘s much - foreknow Avatar is released , the flick ’s production room decorator has been spilling the beans about what it was like to make on the project .
product designer Rick Carter told Variety what was involved in produce the look of Cameron ’s CGI - filled SF fantasy :
It was literally as if Jim had been to this plaza . He was descend back with sherd and glimpses he could express to us , but then we had to essay to visualise out how to make that come up alive for him and something we felt an hearing could have-to doe with to .
Part of how they managed that involved recontextualizing Earthly elements in new ways :
[ We make a ] luxuriant homegrown forest that ’s agency overscale for anything we ’ve ever experienced , but also has enough alien qualities that you realize what you ’re image is not just a few flowers poked into the thick of an otherwise normal environs . The essence of it is very different … The whole estimation of ( that ) bioluminescent world at night is something he ’d actually witnessed when he was down at the bottom of the ocean during his ‘ Titanic ’ prison term . That bioluminescence is almost like a nervous system of the planet , and that ’s what ’s at stake in the movie , as you originate to get past the initial maraud into the Na’vi refinement and seeing the drama begin to emerge between the military - industrial building complex that wants to work the world .
The key , according to Carter , stay in the emotional connection the witness feels to what they ’re follow :
The real challenge is whether you finger the emotion come through from the characters , especially the Neytiri graphic symbol and finally [ Sam Worthington ’s graphic symbol ] Jake ’s avatar . When you seem into those optic , do you feel the connexion ’s literal ? And then , can you give yourself over to it and not attend at it at arm ’s distance and suppose , ‘ Yes , that ’s terrific technically , but I do n’t really feel anything . ’
