Avatar opens new dimensions for film-making

If you haven’t seen James Cameron’s epic film Avatar, I suggest you see it now after all it is the highest grossing film in the country. Avatar won Best Film drama and Cameron won Best Director at the Academy Awards this past week. Cameron had originally planned on shooting the film in 1996 but scrapped the project after realizing that the technology of the time could not produce the film he envisioned. Fast forward to 2005 when Cameron and his crew at Weta Digital, the studio that produced special effects for King Kong and the Lord of the Rings trilogy, began the monumental project.
