About this video
The cast and creators of ‘Avatar: Fire and Ash’ share an exclusive, in-depth look at the Windtraders as they set sail in the latest film.
James Cameron and his team reveal the deeply researched, real-world science that informs the world of Pandora, from the functionality of the Windtraders’ ships to the anatomy of the ‘Wind Rays’ that pull them. The cast reveal how this latest film brings new challenges, even compared with the groundbreaking first two films–such as Sigourney Weaver playing a 15-year-old, brought to life with the franchise’s signature performance-capture artistry. The artists and designers behind the film share how real sets and costumes had to be created to achieve the most authentic effect onscreen–“for us, pantomime is the enemy.”
The ‘Avatar: Fire and Ash’ village includes:
James Cameron, Director
Sigourney Weaver, Kiri
Jack Champion, Spider
Zoe Saldaña, Neytiri
Sam Worthington, Jake Sully
Richard Baneham, VFX Supervisor, Virtual 2nd Unit Director
Deborah Scott, Costume Designer
Dylan Cole, Production Designer
