Honestly, the only reason this was at all janky is because of the low detail Navi models and the intentional lack of effort. You could probably make some pretty remarkable shit if you took your time on the skin textures, had good actors, and fixing the limbs. This deserves some actual props, even though it’s silly af.

Agreed, but the idea was just to show how far you could get with what is available today. These guys got 90% there with widely available and either free or relatively inexpensive tools. If it was a full studio effort with polished voice acting and actors, time to flesh out models etc. they would most probably get even closer. Cameron was shooting Avatar 2 for 12 years, dropping a billion dollars in the process. An animated film student can now mostly get to something comparable at an iota of the cost.. Crazy how far we have come in a little over a decade. AI is changing the game real quick

Honestly this turned out better than I expected. It's really amazing what you can do with free software and a camera in just a few days. Things like this can really inspire someone to chase a career in VFX.
The shot where he says, "I know. Let's tread carefully," is actually like a legitimately good performance. 👏
The facial expressions saw a huge jump in quality with this sequel, I was actually genuinely impressed. Going to be checking out rokoko in a bit.
I would love to hear Jame's thought on these. I would hope that he finds these as fun as other people, because its obvious they are doing it because they love the movies.

Now let's get Avatar 4 done before James even has 3!
It only took me about 25 seconds to completely forget that this wasn't the "real" Avatar 2. The high-quality action direction and expressive, non-robotic facial animations were what helped me become fully... immersed :D
Genuinely impressive what you could achieve with free software. Sometimes I take it for granted that I learnt about the most of the technologies you used from your channel. I've never regretted subbing :)
Wow, that is really impressive! So amazing you can get such good mocap from a single source of video nowadays!
Love that some of the animations you've done are getting sequels with newer technology and software.
Another Banger , Period! Dont stop this !!! You guys make a big portion of my day! You need segments when an editor just shows how they edit a video ; even just swapping sound for a movie clip for example to make it better, help us little people learn the ways lol
Sam wears a Metal Gear AND a rhapsody t-shirt in this one... I think he might be my spirit animal... 🙌
Given the limited time to film underwater, facial capture, and do all the technical stuff, that was pretty awesome! With FREE software too? Fantastic! It's still got the jank of course but definitely services the purpose of showcasing how you can leverage what's available to you when doing VFX or film making.
No but seriously that very opening shot was actually beautiful and genuinely worthy of the big screen, no joke.

so so cool to see the evolution of tech through your videos and a response in your workflow

Clint’s swimming cracked me up. That was so funny to see in the movie. 😂 Sam, you rock. This was a step up from Avetar 2
I love this crossover between Corridor Crew and Cool 3D World!
Using AI software, casually announcing a sequel to your most hated vfx project, and using assets from UBISOFT??? I don’t think I’ve ever seen a KZread channel do a more sudden heel turn lol
Put Jordan on, we need SO much more of this person on screen. Her energy is contiguous, she instantly makes you happy and smile! We literally watch every sec of the sponsor, just to get some of her energy.
The growth from the last version is incredible!
3:08 enough, I saw this moment enough now.
The models looked surprisingly good
Honestly, for the limited amount of time and effort that went into this, the quality is shockingly good.
Love the Rhapsody shirt! That's such a good album
Lol, looks like the actors were on high levels of cocaine with their wide eyes and teeth showing, was the funniest part of the clip. Thank you for the comedy!
Considering he did this for free, that's incredibly impressive
I'm grateful for you guys for sharing this knowledge with us and it is a sponsored video but I'm not sure it was great time to put it during the writers and actors strike. This could go both ways. Either the higher ups realizes however Ai is involved you need real people to do the heavy lifting or that they're gonna push for developing Ai more and force it be more involved. This might be dumb comment but anyway great video.
The jump in quality is actually pretty impressive. I'd love to see James on the couch watching both 😂
I love this content! I was just watching Age of Ultron and saw Pietro’s super speed effect and it got me thinking: could y’all do a video on super-speed visuals in movies? Different ones like the Flash series, Queen of the Damned, and others. I’d like to know how they were done and I just think it would make a great video. Keep up the great work!
This looks like ass. And to use ChatGPT to write their film during the writers strike. Wow.
I think the whole point of James Cameron undewater motion capture is to capture expression of diving underwater.
My God - the improvement from A2 is ASTONISHING! Jesus! 🤯🤯🤯 I think everyone who watched your A2 video must’ve gone in to watching this with an expectation of what the end result was going to be, but hooolllllllyyyy smokes you’ve come a LONG way. Even the stress levels of Sam throughout the process have improved exponentially. Just amazing. 👏👏👏
Sam, you level up the game. Always nice to see Clint in the studio. But, did the navi people actually talked underwater? 😄 You guys are the best. I bet James Cameroon's radar was beeping now.😂
If professionals can make it looks this janky, just imagine how janky it'll look for your next creation!!!
Surprisingly good, maybe the voice acting and sound could use some improvements 😅
I can't believe how good this is. Really fun to watch!
Thank you for the early footage of Avatar 3. I am so hyped for this movie.
Here's my question: If human scientists have the ability to create Avatar versions of the Navi, & the Navi in turn can put a human soul into their Avatar, why not just do this for as many humans as possible to survive on Pandora rather then try to terraform it for humans to live on it? Sure, it would mean giving up humanity to become an alien species, but when Earth is dying & humans can't survive on Pandora, when there is a way for us to adapt to do so just bring as many humans to Pandora as possible & turn them all into Navi.

Because then they aren't humans anymore. They have human minds and memories, but they have Na'vi bodies. And after generations of living on Pandora, those memories will be gone, replaced with memories made on Pandora. People would possibly stop believing themselves to be human, and instead be Na'vi.

Most humans would never give up their creature comforts and the idea of not destroying land to make the environment (or lack thereof) how they want would end up ruining Pandora too. The scientists were interested in learning, studying, researching, and connecting with the Navi and the planet. They chose those fields and it's why they're there. Bring a bunch of average everyday Janes and Joes who will likely be xenophobic, even if they did transfer to Navi/Human hybrid bodies, they'd probably be just like they are on Earth with a desire to be seen as special just like on Earth. Everyone is human, but they claim to be "superior" and see non-hybrids as "inferior" just to feel like they're excused to be assholes. There would have to be serious vetting to ensure those chosen don't have such tendencies, but even they wouldn't be enough to weed out people who would cause problems.
