New Avatar 2 set photos show James Cameron filming with underwater technology
James Cameron is shooting underwater scenes 🌞fo💫r the Avatar sequel

These new Avatar 2 set photos offer a glimpse into the unique ways 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:James Cameron and his crew are bringing the underwater sequel tꦏo life.
Don’t expect story spoilers here – unless pool noodles somehow play an integral role in the Avatar sequels – but the two new photos are fascinating nonetheless, and come courtesy of the official Av🐻atar account on Twitter.
From the set of the sequels: @JimCameron directing the actors before they dive underwater for performance capture. Fun fact: That layer of white on the water's surface is comprised of floating balls that prevent lights from interfering with filming underw💜ater. pic.twitter.com/dOBwS6qOXF
In each of the two screens, you can see director James Cameron perched on a platform above a pool and offering instructions to the submerged cast down below. You can even see the camera crew getting in on the action, complete with a rubber dinghy fo🌠r the equipment.
Cameron, always one to push the boundaries of technology in film, has also implemented a clever trick to stop light reflecting off the water and affecting scenes. See the white material surrounding the pool? The second snap makes things clearer – that's actuaไlly a layer of balls designed to make the underwater shoots easier and acts as something for the actors to cling to and use to resurface when needed.
Earlier this year, Cameron revealed the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:first Avatar 2 concept art at the CES 2020 trade show. It’s a world away from the mo-capped magic present above, with it painting a more complete picture of what we can assume the finished version ✨will look like, including some of the settings and locations for the 2021 sequel.
Avatar 2 is still set for release on December 17, 2021, whil🍌e Cameron is also shooting the later sequels simultaneously. Avatar 3 is out on December 22, 2022; Avatar 4 on December 19, 2025 and Avatar 5 fina✤lly hits theaters when we’re old and grey on December 17, 2027.
