“Avatar” is one of the best movies of 2009 (read my review here), and much of the movie used the technique of “performance capture” in the filming.
What it boils down to is that real people are wired up so that their avatar in the movie is doing exactly what they’re doing. And all of that lush vegetation on Pandora? The actors had to make believe that was there.
Check out this video from ReelzChannel that explains how it all works, with commentary from Sigourney Weaver, Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, and James Cameron.
