The 3D experience is at the heart of Avatar. (In fact, some suspect that Cameron cannily delayed the movie's release to wait for more theaters to install 3D screens—there will be more than 3000 for the launch.) Stereoscopic moviemaking has historically been the novelty act of cinema. But Cameron sees 3D as a subtler experience. To film the live-action sequences of Avatar, he used a modified version of the Fusion camera. The new 3D camera creates an augmented-reality view for Cameron as he shoots, sensing its position on a motion-capture stage, then integrating the live actors into CG environments on the viewfinder. "It's a unique way of shooting stereo movies," says visual-effects supervisor Stephen Rosenbaum. "Cameron uses it to look into the environment; it's not about beating people over the head with visual spectacle." This immersive 3D brings a heightened believability to Avatar's live-action sequences—gradually bringing viewers deeper into the exotic world of Pandora. In an early scene, Sully looks out the window as he flies over the giant trees and waterfalls of the jungle moon, and the depth afforded by the 3D perspective gives the planet mass and scale, making it as dizzyingly real for viewers as it is for him.

Meiselas discovered that pain meant something different for each client — from physical pain as a means of relieving emotional suffering or as a way of absolving guilt, to pain as a road to pleasure. Each mistress-client relationship was distinctly unique. “I come to an understanding of where the person is psychologically and emotionally, and then create a complementary reality to play out the issues,” said Mistress Delilah. “I had a client who worked tremendously hard taking care of his family. I don’t think he liked his work. His life was just boring, repetitive, and hard for him … Perhaps unlike the pain of life, in session, there was a reason and reward.” But it turns out there is no magic formula that can supplant hard work and lots of trial and error. After Cameron complained about the uncanny-valley effect, Weta spent another year perfecting the rig on Worthington's Avatar by tweaking the algorithms that guided its movements and expressions until he came alive enough to meet Cameron's sky-high standards. "It was torturous," Letteri admits. But when Weta was finished, you could pour the motion-capture data into the rig and it would come out the other side right.During the project the film's creator Andy kept a sketch book of his ideas, a kind of journal or jotter to help him remember.

Bolton could be on the cusp of getting a brand new swinger’s club. Set over two floors, the members-only club has plans in for approval with the council, and includes sauna areas and a ‘dungeon’.The Cosmopolitan Influencer Awards with PANDORA will take place at brand new venue, Wild by Tart and is a unique celebration of the biggest, best, new and up-and-coming talent. The film—although "film" seems to be an anachronistic term for such a digitally intense production—takes place on a moon called Pandora, which circles a distant planet. Jake Sully, a former Marine paralyzed from the waist down during battle on Earth, has traveled to this lush, green world teeming with exotic, bioluminescent life to take part in the military's Avatar program. The human settlers are interested in mining Pandora's resources but can't breathe its toxic atmosphere, so to help explore the moon and meet with the native Na'vi who live there, Sully has his consciousness linked with a genetically engineered 9-foot-tall human–alien hybrid. The ceremony has nine categories, including Best Newcomer, Best Beauty Influencer and Influencer of the Year, with the winners chosen by a panel of high-profile judges, including: Alice Liveing, Lottie Tomlinson, Lou Teasdale, Megan Crabbe and Cosmopolitan Editor-in-Chief Claire Hodgson.

Yet live-action 3D was hardly the biggest technical challenge. Only about 25 percent of the movie was created using traditional live performances on sets. The rest takes place in an entirely computer-generated world—combining performance capture with virtual environments that have never before been realized on film. Conjuring up this exotic world allowed Cameron to engage in "big-time design," he says, with six-legged hammerhead thanators, armored direhorses, pterodactyl-like banshees, hundreds of trees and plants, floating mountains and incredible landscapes, all created from scratch. He drew upon his experience with deep-sea biology and plant life for inspiration. Sigourney Weaver, who plays botanist Grace Augustine, calls it "the most ambitious movie I've ever been in. Every single plant and creature has come out of this crazy person's head. This is what Cameron's inner 14-year-old wanted to see." Cameron wrote his first treatment for the movie in 1995 with the intention of pushing the boundaries of what was possible with cinematic digital effects. In his view, making Avatar would require blending live-action sequences and digitally captured performances in a three-dimensional, computer-generated world. Part action–adventure, part interstellar love story, the project was so ambitious that it took 10 more years before Cameron felt cinema technology had advanced to the point where Avatar was even possible. So there you have it; for what it is worth, my acquired wisdom of how to keep a Pandora swing keeler floating the right way up and on top of the waves; although I’m sure a lot of this applies to any swing keel design. Now, my annual haul-out/ maintenance list includes two new essentials: Tuesday 21st May, London: Cosmopolitan, the UK’s leading media brand for young women, has announced the return of its esteemed Cosmopolitan Influencer Awards with PANDORA, one of the biggest jewellery brands in the world. The ceremony, which will take place on 28th May 2019, is designed to recognise and champion the game-changing individuals who have taken social media by storm.Several animals, including reptiles, rabbits, mice and birds, were removed from the premises during the visit, though Mr Hemingway challenged the ruling, and denied any claims of animal mistreatment. The aquarium is now open and trading again. Cameron's dual-sided personality has roots in his upbringing—the brainy sci-fi geek from Chippewa, Ontario, was raised by a painter mother and an engineer father. "It was always a parallel push between art and technology," he says. "My approach to filmmaking was always very technical. I started off imagining not that I would be a director, but a special-effects practitioner."
