And yes per JJ on Leno it was for budgetary reasons. "we wanted to build this whole intricate engine room but it was so expensive and then we toured this brewery and it was immaculate"

Everyone has their own definition of competent; mine involves revising and re-budgeting until you have an appropriate set that you *can* afford, as part of being a Production Designer, rather than a thoroughly inappropriate location - no matter how 'immaculate' an inappropriate location it might be...

I don't know anything about Avatar actually. I was just speaking about some VFX films that I know about. No idea how it compares.

Avatar is a game-changer. The whole production process was in many ways unprecedented - and that's what's award-worthy (not to mention the actual look-and-feel, which is extraordinary).
 
Well, you would think that an engine room might have an engine in it.

No idea what purpose a cold water turbine would serve on a starship, other than to give the newly-buffoonish Scotty his Willy Wonka moment.

Hmm, interested to hear more about it. I did a quick check on IMDB pro and I wasn't able to find any literature about it. Guess we will all find out soon enough. Looking forward.

Oops, I forgot to quote Max in my response. He was talking about Avatar as a game changer and I knew nothing about it and couldn't find anything about it.

I was digressing.

Cold water?!

That was inert reactant, my friend. An essential substance for keeping the oxymoronion flux under safe control.
 
There is a new show on the Science Channel called "Science of Movies" it is a series and will have an partial episode on Avatar. I think it starts May 26th or somewhere around that time.

There is lots of stuff on the net about the making of it.
 
If you guys read HDVideoPro magazine they had a lengthly article about Avatar a year ago or so. It might have been a 3D issue?
 
Wierdly enough the link doesn't work despite being copied straight off the nav line.

Well, just hit Wikipedia, enter 'Avatar' and choose the film off the disambiguation page.
 
I read a little of the Wikipedia thing. The virtual filmmaking sounded interesting. And I looked elsewhere on the web...apparently I am bad at googling. (I don't know if googling is the action tense of to google. But I am going with it anyways)

Ah. Well, that inert reactant is what's going to regulate the flux of my spaghetti later.

Exactly. And you question why the enterprise needed it? They obviously make a lot of spaghetti.
 
JDS just noticed you now live in Austin, do you hang with Luis C much? For some reason I thought you were moving to LA.
