The diameter of the eyes of Na'vi twice the diameter of human eye, and they are spread wider; Na'vi is much more thin compared to earthlings, they have an elongated neck, the other structure of bones and muscles, and their hands are at all threepalls. Well, it is clear, three-meter Na'vi and Avatars are somewhat bigger than people. But the Mimic and gestures they have human, immeued by us with emotions with you.
The idea is not Nova: Sensors fixing the Mimic Changes and transmitting them to computers, attached to acting and in earlier films using computer processing. But then it happened otherwise than on the set of "Avatar": in other films using the technology of "capture", the actors were placed with a special reflective marker. This allowed us to convey the reduction of facial muscles - but not a look. In professional communities, it was dubbed the problem of "dull gaze": the individuals processed by the computer, despite their mobility, looked lifeless.
During the filming of Avatar, actors were put on special hats, similar to baseball helmets to which a miniature chamber was attached. She recorded the faithful changes in persons with unprecedented accuracy - and, most importantly, fixed the movement of the eyes, which was not in previous systems. Cameron ordered to install cameras for this purpose much farther from the actors than their predecessors did. In the way the participants of the film appeared a much larger space for maneuver, where they could turn around.
"The actors ask me, are we trying to replace them," says Cameron. - On the contrary, we try to give them the opportunity to express ourselves with the help of new ways and create images of any restrictions. I do not want to replace the actors; I love working with actors. This is my task as a director.

Now you can be anything or anything, choose age, even changing the floor, not spending time on complex makes, which also causes discomfort. "
