Cameron med ny teknologi til "Avatar 2 + 3"

CG skal forbedres.

Under en begivenhed i Silicon Valley kunne James Cameron afsløre, at han arbejder på nye former for teknologi til de kommende efterfølgere til "Avatar".

Dette tæller blandt andet ny, forbedret CG til filmens undervandscener.

"We are going to see the oceans of Pandora and the lifeforms and ecosystems there, so we've got to do more with CG water, both underwater with the caustics, the lighting, the optics of bringing light through water and with the surface of water, which is one of the big challenges in CG."

Desuden kunne instruktøren fortælle, at den største udfordring består i at forhøje filmenes frame rate, der lige nu kører med 24 billeder per sekund. Målet er at få dette tal op på enten 48 eller 60 billeder per sekund, hvilket ville kunne forkorte redigeringsarbejdet efter optagelserne.

"I want to get rid of the motion artifacting associated with 24 frame display. Because movies are way behind, they're a century out of date," forklarer Cameron. "48, 60, 72, we're looking at the efficacy of the different ones and different solutions. The projectors can do it right now, the projectors can run at 144hrz but they're still displaying 24 frames content at 144hrz. The trick is how do you display 48 or 60 frame content, multi-flashing it, the way 3D projectors do. So that's one little bump I’m working on."
