Special effects pile up like a mountain. The total amount of data of "Avatar 2" reaches 19.4 million GB

Foreign media reports show that the total amount of data in the sci-fi blockbuster "Avatar" reached an astonishing 19.4 million GB.

The report mentioned that the total amount of material for "Avatar" is 1PB, while the total amount of data for "Avatar 2" has reached 18.5PB, which is about 19.4 million GB, equivalent to 37,800 512G mobile phones to store it, which shows how huge the entire production and rendering volume of the film is.

Ka Shen previously stated that Weta's effects are the best, and the motion capture and visual effects done by Industrial Light & Magic for Marvel movies are completely incomparable to the Na'vi. The two are not at the same level at all.

In the first "Avatar", Cameron used the Fusion 3D camera built by his own team, but this generation of camera could not be used in underwater scenes.

Previous cameras used for underwater filming were large, bulky and difficult to operate. Since filming had to be conducted through ports on the outer casing, images were often distorted and deformed.

Insufficient technology led to innovation. Cameron, together with DP and camera inventor Pawel Achtel, invented a new generation of 3D underwater camera, Deep X 3D, which had never been used in film shooting.
