Avatar ’s tight - suitedmotion captureactor , Reuben Langdon , explained his on - set task of pretending to be eaten awake by one of the many beast of Pandora while crowd members made grr noise and wave foam noodles .
We snagged Langdon in his clever young Avatar sweatshirt outside of the Wrath of Con party at Comic - Con , and quickly chatted about all things Avatar ( and desperately attempt to get him to reanimate one of his more violent Avatar scenes in populace ):
What ’s it like on circle ?
It ’s very besotted . We ’re wear mo cap . suit wearing tight spandex with these glowing balls on us .
And basically all of the stunt , a lot of them , are done in the motion capture courtship .
What you see on screen door is reasonably much precisely what happened without all of the surround . So , for example , if your run through the Wood … Some of that awing , craziness of Jake [ a character ] running through the woods being chased by the thanator was actually in a hall , a stage with grey sticks as placements for tree diagram and things . And there ’s really no jungle at all , it ’s just an empty room and execute from imaginary hombre making puppet . Not even guys with puppets , but bozo making noises like “ Rawr ” with a tennis ball at the end of a stick , while he ’s waving it badly and you ’re like [ get a face ] , consort aside .
So , you have to have an imagination to make that form of thing . Very dissimilar from what is really on the screen , the looks . But the move , the strong-arm motion that ’s all that we ’re concerned about .
So do they run you on a treadmill or do you have to run back and off across the room [ when you pass out of forest ?
Not quite a treadmill , but yeah , we ’re in a liberal way just running through reefer , or those consortium foam , what do they call them ? Those pool foam things .
Foam Noodles .
Foam noodles . They ’re being bombard by foam dome .
So Avatar is really made up of tennis balls , foam noodles , sticks … And a blotto motion seizure case .
And lawn tennis balls .
Basically every part we see a blue fiber running , is that you ?
Uhm , it kind of is . Yeah , maybe I guess you could say that . More than running , more like fall and tripping and getting eaten and drop and … yeah . Any of the stuff that ’s really abominable .
How do you pantomime or act out getting eaten ?
It ’s gon na be toughened ; I ’d in all probability cause a big scene here . It would n’t be pretty – determine the moving-picture show .
And then , he was tolerant enough to show us the Avatar sweatshirt with the configuration like assemblage of the wingedSturmbeasts from Pandora .
