    Blue inspiration

    I have recently watched the movie "Avatar" itself and after it I was very impressed by technologies with which the film was made, by story and gorgeous graphics. Still I wanted to learn more about the origins of creating the film as I am an artist, photographer & sculptor myself. The book has a lot of colourful pictures with concept materials and showing the process of movie-making. It is a great book for "Avatar" fans and a wonderful source of inspiration for artists.

    Great Book, Awesome Artwork

    I really enjoyed reading this book. It has a lot of information about the creation of the art and world for the movie Avatar. My only regret was that it was too short and was able to finish it in a short period of time. You get the feeling that there's enough to be said on the topic to fill a book many times the size. Naturally, it also has tons of awesome concept artwork from the movie. There are several fold out pages that are a real treat to look at.
