To kick things off for the new year, I thought with the release of James Cameron's fabulous 'Avatar' last month I'd post the one piece of concept art I did just before I left Weta Digital waaayyyy back in 2007. Geez, it's been +3 years since I worked on this piccie...how strange. Anyway, If you've seen the film (or the trailer), then you'll obviously recognise the bioluminescent jungle and also the marine power suits.
There's two frames below...Cameron Smith, a lead compositor at Weta, was kind enough to comp this as a quicktime so the camera pans right to left, and then the weapon discharges with a muzzle flash. I didn't keep a copy of that, but I do have one of the flash frames below the main image:
BONUS: I have this as a nice and shiny A3 print, so the first person to spot the Na’vi in the jungle wins it! You'll need to describe exactly where the figure is when you post a comment. Happy hunting:-)
