The Making of Avatar: The Way of Water

What's this blog post about?

"Avatar: The Way of Water" utilized computer vision techniques to overcome challenges in underwater cinematography, performance capture and motion grading. Director James Cameron employed stereoscopic fusion with submersible lenses, perfected free diving for actors to avoid scuba gear bubbles, and used TrueCut Motion by PixelWorks to manage frame rate transitions and the soap-opera effect. These advancements in computer vision have significantly contributed to the immersive experience of the film.
