Following the debut of a new footage, the experts have branded the imminent Avatar 2 as "the most insanely complicated movie ever made." Finished scenes from Avatar 2 were displayed during the keynote speech of Titanic director James Cameron at Digital Day.

The details related to Avatar 2 titled Avatar: The Way of Water were disclosed by the director-cum-writer Liam O'Donnell. He wrote on Twitter clarifying the extreme lengths the makers went to work on Avatar 2, "AVATAR: THE WAY OF WATER appears to be the most insanely complicated movie ever made. Holy s***. James Cameron’s Digital Day keynote just broke my brain."

#*my brain! Just the amount of data they captured... Underwater performance capture with 15 cameras. 2 cams on every actor’s face capture. Underwater reference capture for fully CG creatures. Oh yeah and infrared depth capture to place CG characters in the live action footage 🤯" he tweeted.

"Guys, all of the actors including a 7-year-old kid and Sigourney in her 60’s had to take deep breathing courses so they could hold their breath for 2-3 minute underwater takes for the performance capture. Same as the camera operators! No scuba! All free diving in a tank together!" he continued on Twitter. "Saw finished scenes including underwater swimming alongside an alien whale and this is without a doubt the edible movie of the decade," he continued.
