The World Premiere of James Cameron's Avatar is set for December 10th, just 20 days from now but as of Wednesday, "around 30 minutes of the movie remain incomplete". Cause for concern? According to Jon Landau, the film's producer, the scenes need work ranging from sound mixing through colour timing along to visual effects. What isn't clear is how many minutes of FX work need to be locked, and how much of that floating half hour is requiring the more final post production polish only. Landau's big argument, though is that on a film like Avatar, there's " little meaningful difference between principal photography and special effects" - that's The Wall Street Journal paraphrasing him, but the point stands. There really weren't any non-fx shots, so of course the schedule will include FX work down to the wire. Imagine the editing room a couple of weeks from completion on a Pixar film »
