I'm 90% sure the actors were emotion captured.

The people look wwwwwwaaaaayyyy to real to be anything but real people. The imperfections of the skin. If that's CG...I'm impressed.

I await your friends response.

Uuuughhh! This looks like "Revenge of the Sith" This looks very disappointing and don't fool yourselves that they look even remotely real... If you can't tell than your not trying very hard. SOOOOOO disappointed.

How can they look..........real? They don't exist. If you mean the texture of the skin looking like flesh, then yes it looks real. All the internet hater-aide in the world can't change that.

No one is referring to the Blue Avatars. We are discussing the people.

It's cool. You can keep your Transformers. I'll take this. It looks amazing!

**Hi-Def Steve** · 08-21-2009 04:12 PM

Wheeeww, this looks amazing! December can't come soon enough!

**Nightfury82** · 08-21-2009 10:13 PM

Looks different then what I imagined. The environments are beautiful. I just don't know what to think of the Navi appearance.

The humans are...well, humans. That's live action. The film does in fact use extensive motion capture...but that's for the aliens.

**crazzeto** · 08-22-2009 01:20 AM

looks interesting... Not sure if I'm excited per-se but intriged that's for sure.

I was confused with the some of the other posts. I thought otherwise until I read some of the comments. It was fucking with me because if that were to be the case then that's just amazing.

Looks good but I need to see more.

Here's his response.

humans are a mix of digidoubles and real people. if we did it right you won't be able to tell which is which.

the movie was shot as a hybrid between simulcam and our virtual cinema process. simulcam is all digital stereo for live action with cg elements comped in. there are very few shots in this movie that are completely 100% real.

**Dack** · 08-24-2009 07:39 PM

I thought that might have been the case. A few of the humans in the trailer are CGI while most are actually human...that's pretty awesome to mix them like that.

**twonunpackmule** · 08-24-2009 07:42 PM

I agree. Confusion is gone. Replaced with "OMG!!! I CANNOT WAIT!!!"
