AvatarTheWayOfWater costume designer Deborah Lynn Scott reveals that some costumes in the film took over 200 hours to make! 'We followed a lot of the template of the first movie and took it to a higher and more complicated standard.'
Avatar: The Way of Water costume designer Deborah Lynn Scott explains why some Na'vi costumes took over 200 hours to make. Released 13 years after James Cameron's record-breaking original, the sequel welcomes viewers back to the beautiful world of Pandora to continue the story of Jake , Neytiri , and their new family. Avatar: The Way of Water has earned rave reviews from audiences, who praise Cameron's impressive world-building and the sequel's jaw-dropping visual effects.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Like the first film, Avatar: The Way of Water built many costumes and props practically before those elements were then faithfully recreated using CGI. The Na’vi costumes, in particular, took hours of painstaking work, with Scott revealing in a recent interview with Variety that some pieces took over 200 hours to construct.
"Depends on the costume. It started with a lot of research and development that goes into it. But what did the character and scene dictate to me and to Jim? We followed a lot of the template of the first movie and took it to a higher and more complicated standard. With the Na’vi world, I think on average it took around 200 hours per garment. That was without the research time before that to decide if it was going to be a real shell, a 3D-printed shell or a laminate shell.
In addition to investing in visual effects tools and technology that didn't previously exist, the production's commitment to building many props and costumes practically ultimately helps to sell the final effect. When VFX artists are able to hold a prop or costume in their hands to understand its texture and rigidity, in addition to better understanding how it interacts with water, sunlight, and movement, that asset can then be more faithfully recreated in CGI form in the film.
In addition to the visual effects themselves, parts of Cameron's latest sequel are also presented at higher frame rates, meaning motion appears to be more fluid than at the more traditional 24 frames per second. Considering Avatar 3 has already been filmed, it's very likely that, in 2024, audiences will get to return to Pandora once more.
