AVATAR DAY - Fan Reviews

Hey guys,

Well, after 3 years of work on James Cameron's Avatar finally the public has seen a glimpse of what we've been doing down here in NZ for the past 3 years. And I'm just having a blast reading all the comments from fans now that they've had a glimpse of AVATAR in 3D. I've never worked on a film of this level of hype let alone something that there had a countdown clock for the teaser trailer. So yeah, that trailer...it was a teaser and although I liked it, I really think that FOX should have shown the trailer after the 3D Screenings, and I understand the let down that some people are expressing. After all, they were promised to see something they've never experienced before, a game changer in cinema, well it's hard to get that from a minute and half long teaser trailer viewed on your monitor, but, now that people have seen the 15 minute screening in IMAX 3D, the mind blowing reactions are rolling in.

One of my favorites is from A@ronw marketSaw3D:

Im in love with this movie so far lol. Ok, so because I got there so early I was actually the first in line at the Dallas Texas IMAX showing. It was fun talking with other fans in line about what we were about to see.The footage was..... Breathtaking. Totally realistic and totally incredible. I bought every second of it. Now I loved the trailer in the first place, and I can understand some peoples opinions of how some shots looked CG. but seeing more interaction between the characters definitely raises the bar to the next level and doesn't come close to the trailer. The fluidity and motion was of Jake's Avatar was PERFECT. The bio luminescent forest was beautiful. My brother actually got chocked up for a second on more than one scene seeing how beautiful it was! Someone else said "this is going to be the best movie of all time". The music that plays on the Avatar website is what is playing when Jake lays onto the lab bed, just something I noticed. Amazing facial animation, you experience what they experience and feel what they feel. The overall depth of the movie is crazy. It just feels like another world completely and its hard to describe, so I wont lol Seeing him wrestle with the banshee had me on edge for some reason. I don't know it just sort of draws you in to the scene cause it feels incredibly real. I can say 100% now in full honesty, that all the haters out there calling it cartoony and fake and "Epic Fail" are literally, and I mean literally wrong. There is no such thing as opinion on this subject, there is only fact, and the fact is that this movie will be awesome. Oh yeah, the 3d was outstanding lol. I totally forgot about it cause there was so much to look at and take in.James Cameron has done it again. But this time, at least from the 15 minute footage, It is a perfect emotional masterpiece that I cant wait to experience again : )

ps. Saw G.I Joe afterwards because we were already at the theater with nothing better to do. Ill say this much, after seeing Avatar, G.I Joe is what I used to wipe my butt after Avatar made me crap my pants.

Lovely Bones Trailer

Hey all,

Here is the link to the latest film that I worked on, Peter Jackson's Lovely Bones. I'm very proud of this film in particular because of the team of people that made it happen and I really like how the story makes you question your perception of life and death.

It will be out on December 11th in the States and I hope you all enjoy it.
