jan 1, 2009 - 2009 - Motion Capture

Description:

In 2009 the creators of “Avatar" pushed CGI to the highest level yet, creating a movie that was entirely conceived with a technique called performance capture, transforming multiple actors into photo realistic 3D characters.
"Avatar" marked the film industry's introduction into true 3-D. Before, 3-D was only thought to be a movie gimmick, but Cameron designed dual-function cameras that simultaneously filmed in both conventional 2-D and state of the art 3-D. The result was nothing short of amazing and has led to the 3-D craze we now see with movies.
