AVATAR (2009) | All Behind the Scenes Featurettes (Part3/3) 

Capturing the performance of the actors first and then shooting it virtually has blown me away. James Cameron is way ahead of everyone in the movie industry.

REALLY looking forward to the behind the scenes of Avatar 2 and 3 and learning how they invented underwater motion capture systems.

I really wouldn't mind if AVATAR are like 4hrs long omg it's never long enough~~always great!!

For me there's no movie in the World can match this visually as well as story telling.....amazing movie.... I don't know how many Times I watched this movie, i never get bored...damn exited for sequel of this movie 🔥🔥

*This movie really DESERVES the HIGHEST GROSSING FILM title. Say whatever you want about the story, you can't deny the effort James Cameron and crew put on this film's worldbuilding! *

I just saw Avatar 1 again in cinemark theater and it was still amazing as the 1st time I watched. I'm so excited for Avatar 2. James Cameron is beyond amazing!!!

Dayum - I wish that Haka had made it into the movie!

Holy shit. This is so fucking insanely impressive. James Cameron is a goddamn genius

The pronunciation of 'navi' is similar to the language of butterfly in Korea, so it sounds so pretty to me as a Korean🥺🥺

23:40 - NOW I understand why they finished shooting a year or two ago, but the film will only be out in December. What they did back then wasn't a movie, it was raw material with which to create a movie. The movie is Jim Cameron wandering around on a soundstage with a device like a huge tablet and trying out different shots of the same event, an event that once was an acted performance, but now exists only in a computer.

The amount of craftsmanship in this movie is just unreal.

To hear him talking about my country's culture like that absolutely made my year.

Don’t doubt James Cameron legendary director writer producer I love Pandora and this universe

I truly, really admire everyone who worked on this movie.

12:56, It's certain, because there are a lot of ferns plants on Pandora too. And being an actor is learning more science about plants or biology. :)

i rlly love this movie literally my favorite

14:39 pure facts. I switched my house to solar and now drive a Prius. I also camp way more because this film changed the trajectory of my life. I was a business student who switched back to film thanks to this movie inspiring me. Also generally, I care way less for material things.

I'm just BLOWN AWAY of the Kiwis' respect and love they showed Cameron through the "Ka mate" HAKA they performed for him. Although I grew up in California, I was born and raised in the South Pacific Islands. So as a kid, we all had to learn that same Haka. I have heaps of aunts, uncles, cousins, siblings, etc., living in Auckland, New Zealand. I've been there a few times and I remember the first time I visited the Aotearoa (New Zealand) land and one thing that stood out for me quite vividly even now I still have fond memories of it... Was how the people were environmentally friendly. I noticed the majority of the Kiwis drove small automobiles, in fact, I made a special effort to find any SUVs or any of those big trucks like the F350, F250 or even F150 and I couldn't find them on the streets. The people were very mindful in maintaining their land clean and less polluted. I was quite impressed with that because here in the States, everyone's trying to one-up someone else via buying the biggest automobile. Now that HAKA the men performed as part of the movie, I wished it was included in the final cut. But I'll be getting the Producers Cut which could include that particular HAKA. Now, I won't fault Cameron for leaving that piece (Haka) out of the final film because I'll blame his Whiteness or American-ness for NOT understanding the spiritual meaning of that HAKA because any Kiwi Producer would have DEFINITELY included that piece in the final movie because of the sacredness of that Haka to the entire production of the movie. And I doubt Cameron really captured the essence of that HAKA. Because something like that is definitely a NO BRAINER to emphatically include in the final movie and cut something else out. I'm saddened by that because if it were in the movie can you just imagine the ENTIRE country of NEW ZEALAND going to see the movie simply because they want to see the HAKA. EVERY Kiwi kid young and old would be so PROUD of it and they'd be beaming with KIWI PRIDE. I remember a few years back my nephew died from a gang drive-by shooting in Auckland, NZ. He was about 22 yo. At his burial at the cemetery, while my uncle's and other relatives were lowering the casket down into to its resting spot, my nephew's "homies" or friends broke out in a beautifully orchestrated HAKA. I later learned that particular HAKA was a Father's final plead for his son whom passed away. So it was a Father's farewell plead to his Son and it was just an emotional scene to see all these young men and a few young women performed farewell chant for their friend, my nephew.

08:56 In a way it's sad that Wes Studi doesn't get much recognition because of his work done in this movie, though I can sorta get it, because he's role as Oloeyktan isn't as big. But his voice is just so perfect for the role that he was given. You can truly feel like he's some alien tribal leader from outer space!

The costumes were great, I would find myself looking at the what the Navi wear. Very well done

Fantastic movie! Can't wait to see the sequel!!! 2.5 months more to wait!

Me just calmly enjoying this..... and then Sam talks in an Australian accent and I'm like "WAIIIIITT WHAAAT" I mean he did such an amazing job at sounding American that I totally had no idea he was Australian xD

I am physically disabled for life because of a car Accident when I was 10 months of age it's severely verily damaged the left side of my body because it damaged the right side of my skull my brain. Which gave me partial paralysis for life. The thing that I liked about this movie was the fact that their was no such thing as a disability. If you were disabled as Jake Sully proved You were transported into the body of leave of somebody from avatar. And you lived your life as as a person from avatar. In my life I have gone through 819 major surgeries since 1963. I have had a grand total of 1500 different procedures give or take. And my body has died Clinically about 50 or 60 times during these surgeries. Yet when I watch this movieIt made me feel that you can truly accomplish anything you put your mind too.

I wish I could act in this movie 💙💙💙😭😭😭😭

Am so invested in this

What if Avatar 2 starts with that ceremonial singing which was cut in the first.

The insane amount of detailing that has gone into this project. It's mind bogging!

27:30 i love how they made a scene but couldnt put it in the movie, but in avatar 2 they made a haka scene for the other tribe

Thats why the clothing looks familiar , it inspired from my country traditional outfit. Cant wait for the sequel

Thank you for so many details of the great process

The movie brings me back to my roots 🙏what amazing movie part 1 and 2 part so spiritual,so emotional, so much respect for the nature wow what great performance from all the characters, I just love it every single part of the movie. James Cameron you are genius God bless you 🙏❤️😍

I've watch the part 2 and it was very amazing movie i swear 🙏👌 👍 💯

2:44 Indonesia... It's my country. Thank you for saying that. :)

JAMES CAMEROUN IS NOT ONLY A DIRECTOR BUT ALSO AN INSTITUTION !!!

Great movies much love from Philippines.. best one ☝️

This is a great thing..

Can't wait to see like this from the way of water

Amazing 🤩~ I watched Avatar 1 with a friend in 2009 and with my mom in 2022. She loves it so much.

A unique film that will be very hard to match or better. Now I have seen the behind camera preparation it is even more amazing, produced by a visual genius. Definitely want to see more like this - and even longer viewing please. (A New Zealander)

This is so amazing

Love so much Sigourney.....she is absolutely professionnal..... 💚💜💙💛

ภาคแรก 10/10 เพอร์เฟค ภาค 2 8/10 ภาพสวยสุดๆ แต่ตัดคะแนนเนื้อเรื่อง

after 12 years, popped up on my wall. what an amazing film crew. this is the great movie of all time..

Лучший фильм всех времён

this end bit is real cool, can't image the hard drives and CPU power needed at that time....

Super 👌🏼 working

POV ur early asf and first

there are textbook directors. and there's this guy on whom textbooks would be made. by god, what a genius!

totally blown away!!

When the Stephen Lang Character said, "Did two tours in Nigeria myself," I kinda wondered why Jim Camron specifically picked Nigeria as his location choice. At first, didn't think much of it since it's just talking heads dialogue scene. But then, throughout the movie, there's that Navi phrase that kept popping up: "I see you,". Now, it didn't quite hit me until the final scene where Natyiri saves Jake from suffocating. As she cuddles him and tearfully says, "I see you," my mind went straight to the Igbo language spoken in South east Nigeria. The phrase: "a fụrụ m gị n'anya," echoed in my head when she said that. Its meaning? I love you. But, the LITERAL translation is: "I see you." I shit you not. Now, I don't know if there's any other "human" language on our planet with this same literal translation. If you do, please, chime in.

You guies are awesomejust as i imagined earth when i was a child

Without effect,Avatar Will be horror movie

Wow! James Cameron is so amazing he can move mountains 😂

Amazing very very nice movie

ZEN EDITING: Editing without shots

James Cameron is from future

Correction: The German word order is NOT S-O-V, it's S-V-O (subject - verb - object) if there's no auxiliary. If there is an auxiliary, then the word order is S-V-O-T-P-V, i.e. "I have with my friend on Monday to the store gone." (Ich bin mit meinem Freund am Montag in den Laden gegangen.). I still absolutely love the movie though! :-)

These are the reasons why Avatar deserved the title of the highest grossing movie of all time.

OMG what amazing movie I love every part of the movie! Thank you to my child she made watch this movie but before we went to watch the part 2 she made watch the first part I fell in love right away everything looks amazing. What amazing director is James Cameron❤also the movie brings such an amazing message oh God I just love it! Thank you 🙏

Can you do behind the scenes featurette of The Wind Rises?

Hey when will Avatar 2 be shown here in the Philippines?

Rellay so nice movi🇧🇩

what a shame they didnt put the haka into the film.. its so powerful. could have done less of the ship flying scenes and the war and put that in....its still my favourite movie 13 or 14 years later and i had no idea about the tribal dance scene.. that would have sent it completely over the top for me

Avatar2

do I hear "INDONESIA"? - 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀

Ojala Que El Baile Donde Sacan la Lenguita No la Saquen! 😇😇

🐼 Big Bear Hugs from a 68 yr old grandma in Kirby, Texas, USA 🐼 ❤ 🎀 l loved this movie and watched it maybe 100 times.

I loved the movie from the get go,but seeing this was fantastic. I realized just how much true effort from all involved to produce this amazing film. Thank you for sharing the behind the scenes video it was truly an eye opener. Looking forward to Avatar 2, and the amazing imagination that will come.

9 hour ago

That’s where we got the signal transduction scene. From Dr. Botanist to Weaver’s character it’s pretty good. Also the botanist reminds me of Dr Grace Augustine.

Don't appreciate in blind....be as positive...nothing there is reality in this movie

When the New Zealand stunt team sent the farewell battle dance I literately saw the Omatikaya clan in front of me!

Sooo cool, wow!!

Even so, knowing how the film was made, nothing is lost from virtual reality, what matters is the argument, if it is good, everything is good, I really like virtual reality, although it is fiction, it is something magical, it only exists in our dreams such realities.

I just remembered the comment I just sent you I forgot to tell you who I was my name is Corwin Howard Morton the 3rd. And like I said your movie made me forget who I was. And forget my disabilities for about 3 hours or so. And in a way that was a good thing. Because for the time that I watched your 1st movie avatar II truly was able too forget about the pain that I encountered daily. In some ways I wish that this was a real place.

James camaron Bestmovie
