I’m surprised the article says the avatar in the queue is a “digital animation”. If that’s a screen it’s the only time I’ve ever been fooled and damn it’s good.

Also, as a person that works in post, my brain is hurting at the idea of a 10k stereo 60 FPS project.

“Avatar: Flight of Passage” begins in the queue as guests get a peek inside a high-tech research lab to view an avatar still in its growth state inside an amnio tank. The room features charts and screens that show how humans will “connect” with a fully developed avatar for their upcoming flight on a banshee. The Na’vi avatar floating in the tank is digital animation. (Photo: Kent Phillips)
I was fooled too! That’s almost unbelievable

It wouldn’t be the first time an article about theme parks got something drastically wrong but then again it being a screen would explain a lot of the questions about the mechanics. Now I’m more baffled then ever.

post production - I work on tv shows and movies after they’ve been shot and help make the whole process work.

The Avatar in the tank is absolutely NOT a digital animation.

Good closeup of the AA also showing the bubbles on it sitting in the tank...
