Academy Award-winning writer/director James Cameron, the maker of Titanic and the creator of the Terminator series, has been crafting Avatar for over four years. The film follows the story of an ex-marine who finds himself thrust into hostilities on a distant planet filled with exotic life forms. As an avatar, a human consciousness in an alien body, he finds himself torn between two worlds, in a desperate fight for his own survival and that of the indigenous people. The Art of Avatar, the companion book to this epic 3-D action adventure, explores the developmental and conceptual art used by the creative team to create the original world of Avatar. With over 100 exclusive full-colour images including sketches, matte paintings, drawings and film stills, The Art of Avatar reveals the process behind the creation of set designs for the imaginative vistas, unique landscapes, aerial battle scenes, bioluminescent nights and fantastical creatures. Interviews with art directors, visual effects designers, animators, costume designers and creature makers bring insight into this creative process. The Art of Avatar brings readers behind the scenes of this unprecedented moviegoing experience.

Underwhelming for a movie that was over the top

(I've updated this review a bit after watching the movie.)

If you're blown away by the visual quality of the Pandora, as shown in the trailers, you'll be glad to see that majority of the art in this book are on the environments. There are also designs for the plants, animals, vehicles and the Pandora inhabitants, the Na'vi. Weta Workshop is also roped in to provide some models and help in designing the Na'vi. The creativity behind the design and the scale of work is of course amazing.

The downside is there are only 108 pages, which is underwhelming considering that every set and prop in the movie is made totally from imagination. They certainly could have packed more pages but the price is also lower for that matter.

This book didn't include as much preliminary designs as I hoped, like the iterations they had to do to get to the final designs. The only area where there are iterations are the character designs for the Na'vi. The rest, like the flora, fauna, vehicles and sets look pretty close to the finalized designs.

Most of the art in this book look computer generated (not that it's a bad thing) and there are very few pencil sketches. Quite a few pieces created with mixed medium are a bit jarring to me, like mixing photos with digital painting for backgrounds. Again, nothing wrong with mixing medium but some of the styles just clash and calls for attention in the wrong way.

The writeup talks mainly about the design concepts and very little on the production. Stereocopy, which James Cameron is an advocate of, is used, but it's only briefly mentioned.

I'm intrigued that James Cameron actually wrote the script in 1995. But he had to wait until 2006 before technology was (deemed) advanced enough (for him) to make the film. I thought technology was already available when Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within was released in 2001. So what technology are we really talking about here? It's not mentioned but, well, this isn't a making-of book. I'll definitely be getting the disc when it comes out.

Overall, this book looks like a rush job. Page 82-83 has an image of the flying Ikrans printed upside down. I can't imagine how it's possible to place a picture on a page (on the software) without looking at the picture. There are very slight pixelation with the really big pictures, something I don't normally see with other movie books.

It's a nice book but more for Avatar fans. But be prepared to be underwhelmed, especially after you've watched the movie.

3.5 out of 5 stars

The art of Avatar Reviewed

Revisado en Reino Unido el 13 de enero de 2010

Compra verificada

First of all, i have to say i was expecting this to be delievered around the 16th. I ordered it on the 10th of January, it then dispatched 11th and came today, the 13th, with the free delivery service, 3 days ahead. Well done Amazon!
Second the actual book. Just flicking through it, i found myself intrigued and awed at the creation of the movie. The art here reflects that of the film. The film wasn't soo much directed at the developement of the characters, more of the lush world of Pandora, and the book echoes this. What you see is the vibrance of the world painted by the artists.
What's more, the commentaries on it give a more indepth description and view concerning how the artists and Cameron came up with Avatar. If you liked the film, this is almost an essential.

Good
-Vivid and lush pictures reflecting that of the film
-Commentaries giving indepth descriptions
-The sheer beauty of it
-Developement of the world

Bad (hardly matters, just picky#
-No 3D images to be seen with cinema 3D glasses #just wishes)
-Quite thin with character pictures and developement
-A good quantity of pictures, but could have some more

For any fan of Avatar, this is a superb book. If not a fan, it's still a good book. Recommend the soundtrack and Avatar: The field guide. 5/5

A gorgeous book that shows the process and beauty of Avatar

Revisado en los Estados Unidos el 3 de diciembre de 2009

I received The Art of Avatar yesterday and it was one of the most amazing looks into the brilliance of technology and James Cameron's vision I've ever seen!
I am a screenwriting student and film student and I was amazed at every page, every idea that is needed to put an idea for a motion picture to life. And it is mindboggling.
Cameron had to wait for the technology to catch up to his ideas, and that took almost a decade.
Peter Jackson's preface uses the phrase 'Suspension of Disbelief' as the world between the filmmaker and the audience. You as a member of the audience are watching a film in its real time. The world you are in is the world you see onscreen.
And to do that properly is the magic of film.
The Art of Avatar shows the people, the animals, the humans, the natives of the moon Pandora, in magnificent detail is worth purchasing the book. The process of the evolution of how a character or beast is created in amazing.
I cannot wait to see this film and given the taste of its beauty and plotting, am amazed this technology exists to give this to us.
The only negative I can give and it is nothing really, but the middle page of my book was not connected, and I don't think that was on purpose. There are fold-out pages that blow your mind in the book, but the middle photo encompased just the 2 middle pages.
If that is the worst criticism I can give to a book, fuggetaboutit! I did and carefully fitted the page back.
The Art of Avatar is a wonderful art showing unto itself, but if you are at all interested in seeing the movie, or are a film maker, you will appreciate this gorgeous book.

Art book lite

Revisado en los Estados Unidos el 7 de febrero de 2010

I think that the general tone of many of the reviews, that the book feels unusually thin for a movie with the production depth of Avatar, is well-founded; overall, while it presents an overview of the art behind most of the movie, it's just that -- an overview. It feels a bit as if it were rushed out the door to get it into the stores as close as possible to the release of the movie, so that if the movie didn't do well, the books could capitalize on what interest there was before it slumped off and was pulled away by other releases. In fact, I noticed a major composition error -- in the large illustration of a Great Leonopteryx and Banshees in flight on pages 82-83, the compositor apparently got confused and mistook the greenish arc of Polyphemus in the background as the _ground_ and turned the image upside-down.

With the success of the movie, I strongly hope that there is a _much_ larger "Making of AVATAR" book that takes this book and raises it to the next level, talking about the evolution of designs from initial concepts to final imagery, with illustrations showing the steps in the process. This book is good, but it feels like a "Cliff's Notes" version of what I -- and, from the reviews, many others -- felt it should have been.
