3D? Seriously? I admit the technology has come a long way, but this is getting ridiculous.

I'm also going to pretend I didn't read the the CGI part.

The thing that makes Avatar important isn't just the 3D, it's the fact that the camera is plotting it's own position in the CGI scenery so that the viewer can feel like it's been filmed in the way we have become accustomed to in regular cinema. It's one step closer to what we feel is more real. (albeit live action camera work)

If you watch Avatar in 2D the CGI characters and backgrounds will feel much more real because they are behaving like they're shot with a real camera rather than some mathematical vectors in a virtual space.

This will be a fantastic thing for DC2.

If you want an idea as to why it would be nigh impossible to mount a production like the original Dark Crystal, scope some props. It took me about an hour to pull myself away from Kira's dress, a podling outfit, 3 or 4 skeksis props, and a mystic's chart.

As hesitant as I am about this film, how sweet would it have been for Devin to score it?

Genius idea, sir!
