Danach siehst du AVATAR mit anderen Augen...

James Cameron's Avatar begins with Jake Sully opening his eyes, which is very appropriate for a video where I want to open your eyes to Avatar. Like the other revealing videos in this series, I show you some fun facts about the. making of the most successful movie of all time if you didn't like the first part, this video won't change that, if the second part seems too long to you, the second time you watch it it will seem even longer, but if you are open to discover some things about the ideas and effect on Avatar that you probably didn't already know, let me open your eyes.

Avatar radiated a magic in 2009 that is difficult to understand. really only the 3D and if so, why were there almost no other movies after that? Cinema as an experience is perhaps more than the sum of its individual parts taken from other well-known stories, overloaded with such an obvious message. I was impressed by the new spatial depth, but nothing more than that when I left the theater, a key moment for me at the beginning. Perceiving Avatar differently than how he rated the actual movie was Quentin Tarantino because he changed his evaluation of the 2009 films because of Avatar.

JJ Abrams' Star Trek remake was Tarantino's favorite film on his annual list until he finally saw Avatar a little later. Tarantino of all people is great because he is Yes, the complete antithesis of James Cameron to Avatar 3D digital in part 2. even in places with high frame rates instead of the usual 24 frames per second, Tarantino actually has all that , but since Tarantino himself says he can't not use Avatar in them, he even goes so far that he wishes he'd seen Avatar before filming. Kill Bill, which he wanted Kill Bill to be the kind of rollercoaster that Avatar was a complete cinematic experience, something he couldn't do with Kill Bill, which Tarantino only very half-heartedly did in a two-parter of Divided.

And so the roller coaster was interrupted. Cult director Michael Man is a pioneer of digital camera technology, as is James Cameron, but with his realistic shots he seems the antithesis of what Cameron is today, who now laments America's gun fetish for the canadians. Avatar that we have with Terminator 2, still self-powered, is Cameron's outlet to express his true self on the outside or, as he calls himself, to let out his inner tree and despite this or precisely because of this, Michael says that Avatar is one One of his ten favorite films of all time is a brilliant synthesis of the emptiness of clotiv ethnologists like Strauss and the anthropologist James George Fraser, Christopher Nolen himself, who doesn't know how to do anything with 3D, admires this world and how it works special effects.

Capturing and transmitting the emotions of the actors, all this is revolutionary. Avatar is much more than the 3D of Tarantino's men and all the people Nolan sees while many other film fans don't want or can't see that. Why did I ask the man behind James Cameron? Its producer John Landern directs stories in the films. They go to the cinema in euros. All great artists recognize such a big K, no matter how differently they approach their own art when the rest of us talk about Avatar. We're still mainly talking about the optical bombast and how it harmonizes with the innovative 3D: about 40% of the first film is live action and the remaining 60% is rendered; that's maybe even less than you think, but much more complex than you can imagine.

Imagine, the average rendering time for some scenes was 57 hours. In comparison, rendering one of my videos from the editing program takes about as long as the video is long, and in Avatar there is no scene for 47 hours, even. If you sometimes feel that way, Cameron already had an 80-page Streetman for the film before he started working on it, but the technology wasn't yet advanced enough for his vision. It was just a very specific movie that convinced him of that. the DJI of the present is finally ready Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings the two towers but cGI is always better when we don't even realize it's CTI because it merges with the practical effects and that also applies to Avatar here are two In the Avatar 1 examples, Jax's atrophied legs are prosthetics, they are based on a real person.

Sam Worthington 29 are stored in a wheelchair and were digitally removed, a perfect illusion and in Avatar 2, this shot leaves us in awe of the perfect CGI. but it's just real, at least for the most part here too. Effects company WETA has lent a completely invisible hand - you know, just like they did with The Lord of the Rings - to the groundbreaking knowledge of many that Avatar is just a remake of Pocahontas. It's even more obvious than you think. James Cameron does not hide it. On the contrary, he openly explains how Disney's 1995 animated adaptation inspired him to create his version of Pocahontas.

He even wanted to play the same lead actress. A subtle clue remains, but in the film Jake Sally and John Smith share the initials JS: the big difference in Cameron's adaptation is that the world is Pandora and he, in particular, who entered the film industry as an effects and model builder and even as a medpainter, he knows the attention to detail necessary for a believable world, so he has to follow his own laws that are foreign to us and still be internally logical and therefore believable. Some ideas run through the entire film, one of the most important is that animals on this planet have six limbs, whether in the forest with their six legs or in the air with their four wings and two legs or now in the water with their additional fins Navis should follow the model of four-limbed mammals on our planet and not move with six limbs like all other living beings.

In this way we can recognize ourselves better in them and we can also find them attractive because of the breasts of us mammals, at least says Cameron, in reference to the evolution of the Navis. The primates there have an extra pair of hands because they have wings, that is, again they have 6 limbs. Navigation systems are as related to them as we are to monkeys, but

s have slightly different body features than locals. including five fingers instead of four. In each hand, its stature is also stronger and more muscular than filigree navigation systems. Creature design is based on fixed basic ideas for physics in Pandora.

Gravity is less and therefore allows animals to fly. Among other things, they are inspired by the manta rays of our deep sea. The way they move comes from ours. The idea of ​​pterosaurs and their colorful appearance is based on poison frogs and then butterflies. The fact that navigation systems are blue. It doesn't just have to do with James Cameron's preference for the color blue. Blue represents, among other things, loyalty and wisdom towards heaven and towards the Avatar Bucks religion. There are motifs from Christianity, Judaism and Hinduism, the Navi are equally great. and as blue as the Hindu god Vision whose incarnations are called

as The word Navi is taken from Hebrew and means prophet, someone who communicates directly with God and Eve in network with this high Consciousness of the moon Pandora is phonetically similar to yes wants the Jewish God.

The concept of this network between all living things dates back to science fiction author Isaac Asimov. He talks about the planet Gaia, so what sounds like hey era and Christian terms found in James Cameron's filmography in Aliens, he is the android Bush, so Bishop in Abby. It's Anthon Monk, then Fenrich Mönch and in Avatar it's Sigourney Weavers dr. Grace Augustine Augustin or Saint Augustine of Hippo was a Catholic monk and philosopher who once converted Christianity into paganism. England brought him and he became archbishop. The official speech before an archbishop is his Grace. Grace by Grace Augustin, which also explains the more or less reborn role of him in Avatar 2, as reborn as Steven for a long time and in a different way than one might think after the first film was a rebirth.

Her channel was always planned during filming, she says, at least for a long time. Originally, even Michael Bien was in discussion for the role of him, but Cameron feared that alongside Sigourney Weaver it might seem like a revival of the Alien franchise, but another extraterrestrial reference remained in the film. They use the same nerve gas as him. Mariens in Aliens cn20 in the nest another reference to Cameron comes straight from the black truck-hieke True Lies only there the exit is different we held two other meetings they were narrowly and inadvertently prevented from taking the role Jake Sully talked about the constant coasters by Zoe Saldana in the lead Guardians of the Galaxy star Chris Pratt and Star Trek captain Chris Pine don't believe it, but it was the worst audition of their careers.

He himself did not believe a single murder that, as he said, he interrupted himself in the middle and apologized. right at the next audition he got the next role, although he himself didn't want to believe a word of it, something about torpedoes and photons, he got the role, it was James Tiberius Kirk, but someone else was in the tightest race and The lead role in Avatar Matt Damon could have had the role, but he felt too committed to the third part of his Born series and so Cameron offered him 10% of the possible profits, which would probably be $290 million, the highest fee ever received. by Damon.

On his turf, no one could have known, but Cameron had no problem with that and told him that the movie was real anyway, that no one else was needed for it, even if the studio would have preferred Cameron to know better. . and finally I decided on Sam Worthington; it's hard to imagine it after Hollywood introduced it to us. In the years that followed, I desperately wanted to sell myself as a classic movie star, but Wirsington was really a blank slate, so that's exactly what Cameron wanted. because the movie is what it is and not the stars, and his Sully should seem much more solid as a result, a friend you're more likely to have a beer with.

The whole world was liberated. Worthington was at that moment dirty with himself. and his life, so he sold all his possessions, fled Sydney and lived in his car. Producer John Landauer remembers that it took him days to get through to him on the phone because he was somewhere where Berg was sleeping without a phone playing the role of me. -The destructive Jake, who finds new meaning for his life in the wild, was written specifically for him by chance, unlike Sigon Weaver, at least digitally because his avatar should be gentle, part 1 of a younger version of himself Same 18 year old, which is even younger on the part. 2, but his current facial structure cannot be easily transferred one-to-one to his model.

They used old photographs of her from Alien 1. Weaver found her inspiration for this in someone else's life with James Cameron and Dr. Grace Augustin herself says actually. She plays Jim Cameron That's how she plays him and that's how she plays him. The character is brilliant, idealistic, perfectionist and underneath there is a big heart, which perhaps bothers Cameron because he finds Grace Augustin particularly unpleasant and assumed. to seem unpleasant, at least as a first impression, that's why he lets her smoke all the time, but she refused to smoke a cigarette on set, so they put a toothpick between her fingers as a substitute and lit the cigarette while the GI in the post because the best cGI is always the CGI that we don't even notice and that is only there to tell us something about the characters, their story and their world, I hope I was able to open your eyes.
