The ‚Avatar‘ star would love to see a light shined on performance-capture acting.
The decades-long labor of love James Cameron and his Avatar family have put into building out the world of Pandora is a feat his Avatar: The Way of Water leading lady thinks should be chronicled deeply as a testament to the art of performance capture.
In an interview with musician Alicia Keys for By Design, who notes herself as an Avatar fan, Zoe Saldaña revealed that in time that’s something the legendary director may get to. You know, after whatever follows Avatar: Fire and Ash. Saldaña told Keys, “I’m excited that James Cameron is considering a documentary about the making of Avatar—finally giving us the chance to explain, in a meticulous way, why performance capture is the most empowering form of acting. It gives us the credit, the ability to own 100 percent of our performance on screen. With animation, you might go into the studio for [a few] sessions; that’s as much as they’ll need you for the whole movie.
