Sigourney Weaver

Parker, you know, I used to think it was benign neglect, but now I see that you're intentionally screwing me.

Oops.

I need a researcher, not some jarhead dropout.

Lucky?

How is this in any way lucky?

The last thing I need is another trigger-happy jarhead.

Please welcome Sigourney Weaver!

Well, I think Jim Cameron has been working on it about 12 years, but I got involved in 2006, and we started rehearsals and performance capture 2007, and then did live action 2007, 2008.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

What did he do?

Well, he invented special 3D cameras so that he could put his actors in little black suits with helmets with cameras and ears and tails in what he called a volume, which is a big empty space.

And he had a virtual camera where you could look in and see your character in the actual environment of the movie.

Absolutely.

The Pandora in Rainforest.

And we were, you know, 10 feet tall and blue with ears and tails.

And you could see that in the moment.

app you could see a roughed out version of it and then we would do our scenes just like he would in a kind of early theater rehearsal you know using like this would be like a bush or something you know or a tree or you know he give us thing to represent certain things just you know but he would do everything he could to make it as organic for us as possible and in fact

The level of technology is now so refined with this particular movie that all of the facial expressions, that's why we have a camera right here, everything you see, it's not painted on.

It's not us voicing these faces, these puppets.
