Contribution To The Film Industry
Avatar was officially budgeted at $237 million. Other estimates put the cost between $280 million and $310 million for production and at $150 million for promotion.The film made extensive use of cutting edge motion capture filming techniques, and was released for traditional viewing, 3D viewing (using the RealD 3D, Dolby 3D, XpanD 3D, and IMAX 3D formats), and for "4D" experiences in select South Korean theaters. The stereoscopic filmmaking was touted as a breakthrough in cinematic technology. Avatar has contributed to the film industry in many ways from the production of the movie to how they marketed in and the income it generated. Avatar made great progress in the film industry in the field of visual effects, Innovations include a new system for lighting massive areas like Pandora's jungle, a motion-capture stage or "volume" six times larger than any previously used, and an improved method of capturing facial expressions, enabling full performance capture. To achieve the face capturing, actors wore individually made skull caps fitted with a tiny camera positioned in front of the actors' faces; the information collected about their facial expressions and eyes is then transmitted to computers.During filming, Cameron made use of his virtual camera system, a new way of directing motion-capture filmmaking. The system shows the actors' virtual counterparts in their digital
surroundings in real time, allowing the director to adjust and direct scenes just as if shooting live action. He also promoted the Avatar in as many ways as possible like collaborating with Coco Cola, the books, video games, action figures, postage stamps and also theme parks and attractions. It also set a record in many fields and used 4D in the best way possible. Avatar also broke one of hollywoods greatest movies record, The Titanic, by making more money in the box office. Rotten Tomatoes reports that 83% of 291 professional critics have given the film a positive review, with a rating average of 7.4 out of 10.
