Hello everyone!!😀
Nowadays many type of advanced techniques are used in movies, so that the audience can have a great experience.
Today I will tell you about Underwater Motion Capture Technology used in Avtaar 2: The way of water.
Movie was directed by James Cameron ,one of most innovative filmmaker in the industry.
As Avatar 2 movie has been released today and it was a fantastic movie. Today I will tell you about a very special technology used in this movie, the name of this technology is Underwater Motion Capture Technology. You must have heard about motion capture technology which has been used in many movies but Avatar 2 is the first movie in which underwater motion capture technology has been used.

Earlier in the movies when there were underwater scenes, the actors were suspended in the air with the help of wire and later with the help of Computer generated imagery, water was added to them. But in Underwater Motion Capture Technology actors were actually put in a tank filled with water and scenes were shooted in real time.
While shooting Avtaar-2 the tank was 32 feet deep and held around 90,000 gallons of water.
There was a huge difference between the output of traditional technology & Underwater Motion Capture Technology .The main reason of long gap between the Avtaar and Avtaar 2 was because of director James Cameron's insistence on waiting until the technology he needed to create his vision was ready to use.
