important part --
For "Avatar," Cameron will use performance-capture techniques similar to those used by such films as "Superman Returns" and "King Kong" as well as a real-time virtual camera system, which will blend the actors' performances and CG performances with real sets, miniatures and CG environments. With the virtual camera, the director will be able to look through an eyepiece and see his characters in their virtual world.
Saying the production process is similar to creating an animated film, Cameron estimated that the finished film will be 60 percent CG elements and 40 percent live action. He is aiming for the sort of photo-realism achieved by the CG sequences in "Kong" and the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy.
Principal photography will take place in and around Los Angeles, and in New Zealand. The visual effects will be handled by "Lord of the Rings" director Peter Jackson's Oscar-winning production house Weta Digital, which is based in Wellington
Sounds like this could be an interesting flick I can't wait to hear more about it!
