James Cameron's Avatar is one of those films that garnered praise for its incredible computer graphics. Now with the release of its second instalment Avatar: The Way of Water, industrialist Harsh Goenka has shared a video that sheds light on what goes behind making such movies.
The clip, uploaded on Twitter, shows actors Sam Worthington and Zoe Saldana on the sets of the film equipped with sensors used to generate the graphics. Using a split screen, the video also features the final outcome where the actors are seen as their characters in the fictional world. “The result vs the making of Avatar,” the RPG Group Chairman wrote.
