To create his epic Avatar, James Cameron and his crew had to invent the tools needed to achieve a transforming vision. The story of their journey - from Avatar's conception to its realization on the screen - is an epic in itself. The Making of Avatar tells the story, from early brainstorming sessions in Malibu to a vast production effort spanning continents. Along the way, the filmmakers designed new techniques to bring the nuances of human performances to the screen, allow the director unprecedented control within the world he envisioned and integrate 3D effects naturally. Jody Duncan, editor of Cinefex magazine, and Lisa Fitzpatrick, author of Abrams's Art of Avatar, offer an authoritative and official record in words and pictures of the most significant film of our time.

Since I have the The Art of Avatar: James Cameron's Epic Adventure as well, I'll start by saying that this is major step-up from the art book, in terms of visuals, writeup and construction.
It's a thick 272-page hardcover filled commentary and huge pictures. Yup, the pictures are in high resolution so there's no more of that pixelation you see in the art book. The film stills, even though you know it's computer generated, is less jarring, more natural. There are a lot of behind-the-scenes photos as well as concept art sketches of the creatures on Pandora.
The writeup is extensive. It really provides an in-depth look at the technical aspect of making the movie, from the conceptualisation stage down to mixing of life-action and 3D footage. There's plenty to read about the concepts behind everything has to be visually created, like the creatures, the sculptures, environments, weapons, props, etc. It's all really detailed and carefully explained, even the captions are informative. Stuff like creating characters are broken down into several steps, such as the creation of clay sculptures (handled by Stan Winston Studio) and the actually modeling of 3D models (handled by Weta).
And then you have the motion performance part where they show how action is mapped into the movie, and all the little production tricks that are used. There are actually horses in the studios to capture the part where the Navi ride the Direhorses. And those horses are also had their bodies pasted with the little beads for motion capture.
This book is a very satisfying read. Highly recommended if you like movie production books.

Ein tiefer Einblick in ein optisches Kunstwerk das technische Maßstäbe setzt

Avater ist optisch und technisch gesehen wahrscheinlich immernoch der beeindruckenste Film. James Cameron hat mit diesem Film mal wieder Grenzen neu gesetzt und gezeigt was möglich ist. In diesem dicken, großen Buch sind sehr, sehr viele faszinierende Information zur Entwicklung, Produktion und Technik. Das Buch ist vollgepackt mit Bildern und Text, es macht einfach spaß auch durch zu Blättern. Für den Preis absolut empfehlenswert, das einzige ist halt das man der Englischen Sprache defintiv mächtig sein sollte.

Dieses Buch ist ein MUSS für jeden Filmfan, der sich für Spezialeffekte interessiert und einen Blick hinter die Kulissen werfen möchte. Nicht nur "AVATAR" Fans kommen hier voll auf Ihre Kosten. Jody Duncan liefert wie immer ein Werk mit tiefen Einblicken in die Welt der "SFX" ab. Faszinierend, spannend und gespickt mit Interviews und Insiderinformationen. Ich konnte das Buch kaum aus der Hand legen und greife immer wieder danach.
