The Avatar team got creative.
A new Avatar: The Way of Water set photo reveals the analog approach to the fire in the finale before CGI was added. Serving as a sequel to his smash hit original film, James Cameron's Avatar: The Way of Water continues the story of the Sully family as they seek refuge with a new oceanic clan of Na'vi after humans return to Pandora. The sequel has also been highly successful at the box office and earned mostly positive reviews, with critics particularly praising its action-packed finale.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY A new image shared by Vanity Fair provides a sneak peek at how Avatar: The Way of Water pulled off some of the visuals in its thrilling climactic fight sequence. Check out the image below: The image reveals that prior to the CGI being added in post-production, large LED screens were used to serve as lighting reference for the ways in which fire reflects off of water. The use of these screens speaks to the larger production methods used on the film, which involved doing as much as possible practically to ensure realistic-looking CGI.
In addition to just making the CGI characters and environments look more life-like, this production method also ensures that the many CGI characters in Avatar: The Way of Water are expressive and emotive to the same degree that real humans are. The sequel drastically improved just how much actor facial data is collected and interpreted on set, giving the Na'vi characters an incredible range of emotion, even in the most subtle sense.
This performance capture was taken to the next level in Avatar: The Way of Water because of just how much aquatic action is in the sequel. To accurately capture the way animals and humans move in and interact with water, the cast filmed performance capture water scenes in a large tank.
