The film's visual effects teams push the ability to capture facial expressions, and to film the various ways of water.
Thirteen years after the first ‘Avatar,’ James Cameron finally returns to the distant moon of Pandora in this transporting, radiantly personal sequel.Letteri reimagined the system for “The Way of Water” with actor performance in mind. “I started to think about how the muscles in the face work. All of our muscles work together to make an expression. You don’t say, ‘move this muscle’. Your brain thinks and your muscles express the right thing.
Pandora’s enchanting oceans is where Cameron’s ambitious vision shines. The most lavish creation being the reef village of Awa'atlu, home to the Metkayina clan, led by wife and husband Ronal and Tonowari . Adapted to sea life, they’re considerably different in appearance than their forest counterparts, the Omatikaya. More greenish in color, they have enlarged eyes, bigger chests and fin-like cartilage that protrude from their arms and legs with wider tails to help them swim.
Cast, crew and stunt performers all went through extensive training to hold their breath using techniques from free-diving instructor Kirk Krack, so as to limit their air bubbles because the performance capture system was unable to tell the difference between them and the marker dots on the performers’ face and wetsuits.
