Yahoo is playing host to a great behind-the-scenes featurette for Avatar, showing blue screens, Simulcam, hybrid displays, and more.
The video takes a close look at the designs, landscapes, creatures, military hardware, sets and costumes in the film; casting decisions; and the secrets behind the 3-D motion and performance capture, which required a surprising amount of physical performance from the movie’s stars (not to mention learning the fictional Na’vi language).
We also learn a lot about the tech Cameron used, including his innovative “virtual camera” system and his 3-D digital camera rigs.
The video includes ample interviews with Cameron, producer Jon Landau, members of Cameron’s creative crew and cast members Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana and Sigourney Weaver.
Watch it after the break.
