Ngaphandle kokuma ngxi okoko iTitanic yaphumelela ii-Oscars ezili-11, UJames Cameron uzinikezele kumabonwakude, Kodwa ngoku, emva kweminyaka eli-10, umphathi uye wabhengeza ukuba usondela kwiscreen esikhulu kwakhona ukulungiselela ifilimu yakhe entsha ezakubizwa ngesihloko avatar kwaye, njengoko bekucwangcisiwe, siya kubona ngo-2009.
avatar Iya kuba yifilimu yamabali esayensi apho uMhlaba ungasenabo ubutyebi bendalo, unyanzela abemi ukuba bafudukele kwiplanethi engaqhelekanga eya kuthi ekugqibeleni yoyise ubuhlanga bomthonyama apho kumzabalazo wabo wokuphila.
Njengedatha, kufanele kuqatshelwe ukuba ifilimu iya kudutyulwa kwi-3D kwaye iya kukhutshwa kwifomathi entsha yedijithali ye-3D, kulindeleke ukuba ngelo xesha kuya kubakho iimovie ezininzi ezinale fomathi. Ukongeza, ukwenza umboniso bhanyabhanya, iindlela ezintsha zoopopayi beekhompyuter, iindlela ezintsha zokubamba imifanekiso kunye nenkqubo yekhamera yexesha lokwenyani eya kuphuhliswa eya kuvumela ukwenziwa kwehlabathi elitsha elixutywe nemifanekiso yokwenyani. Ngaphandle kwamathandabuzo, iprojekthi ethembisayo.
