What is the storyline of Avatar?

"Avatar" tells the story that in order to compete for the resources on the distant Pandora planet, human beings made the "Avatar" plan, allowing the male host Jack to go deep into the interior of the planet, but the male host unexpectedly gained love, changed his attitude towards Nami people, and finally led them to go to war with human beings.

The plan of Avatar in the story is to cultivate an Avatar nearly 3 meters high with the DNA of human beings and Nami (a native of Pandora), control it with human will thinking, so as to facilitate the survival activities on Pandora, and find a kilogram of minerals worth 20 million dollars and transport them back to the earth.

Jack, who was injured in a wheelchair, was recruited and traveled countless light years to the beautiful Pandora planet. After becoming "Avatar", he can walk freely. Jack is learning the local skills and is gradually accepted by the nano-people. He also found himself through this journey and made a decision to fight against mankind.

Behind the scenes production information of Avatar

1, creative background

From 65438 to 0994, Cameron wrote an 80-page script for Avatar, which took only two weeks. 1In August, 996, Cameron announced that he would start filming Avatar after Titanic, in which synthetic or computer-generated actors would be used.

The project will cost $654.38 billion, and at least six main characters look real, but they don't exist in the real world.

2. The source of inspiration

James Cameron, the director, said that the film was inspired by "every science fiction novel he read as a child". He borrowed from edgar rice burroughs's Battlefield of Aliens and tried to make it look brand-new.

Cameron admits that Avatar has the same theme as Paradise and Emerald Summerlin, that is, the influence of nature and civilization.

3.3D technology

Avatar was shot with a 3D camera independently developed by Cameron's team, which made the image more realistic by simulating human eyes. Not only that, the virtual camera developed by Cameron also pioneered the technology at that time. Even if the actor has no physical performance in an open space, in the image presented by the monitor, the actor has been in a gorgeous alien world.

In addition, motion capture technology and expression capture technology are new breakthroughs in the technical field of Avatar. Avatar consumes an average of 40,000 man-hours per frame, 60% of which is composed by CG and 40% is performed by actors.
