At first, the creators of the cult film wanted the blue skin of the inhabitants of Pandora to emit light.
The artist Joseph Pepe, who worked on the first part of Avatar in 2009, showed the first version of the appearance of a resident of Pandora. He posted the photo on Instagram.
He recalled meeting the film’s director at Lightstorm Entertainment in Santa Monica in 2004 with actor Christopher Swift and special effects artist John Rosengrant to read the script and get character information.
“This was the beginning of a two-week trial by fire. Avatar’s working title was Project 880. We were given 14 days to show Cameron something new, develop the characters and breathe new life into them, ” he wrote.
Back then, according to Pepe, Cameron said the film would be photorealistic when finished, so the artist admitted he was under a lot of pressure to portray something that would hit him.
However, Cameron did not express any emotion while watching the first character. He simply said, “It’s a parasitic species of pelagic nudibranchs.”
“I was surprised because he not only knew what kind of animal bioluminescence I was using, he also knew the scientific name for it. Fortunately, my dedicated research paid off and I only found out about it years later of working with Cameron. He loves research about the Earth, science, flora, fauna, anthropology and ethnology. He is a genius not only in filmmaking, but also in science and technology,” recalls Joseph Pepe.
