In this documentary, meet the crew responsible for the sequences that led to those awards. In order to create the spectacular world of the planet Pandora, Cameron and his team had to develop brand new motion capture and animation techniques. While the Na'vi—the alien species that lives on Pandora—are largely computer animated in the film, each Na'vi character is played by a human actor. In order to accurately transfer the actors' performances to the animated sequences, state-of-the-art filming techniques were employed to make the Na'vi look as real as possible.
