Avatar wasn't just a very expensive film that made a lot of money, it also revolutionized many of the technical aspects of filmmaking and pioneered the way we shoot CGI for films. There's also an incredibly large amount of things that James Cameron shot and never intended to actually use. The story of the making of this film continues to be one of the most fascinating things that we have covered o...
