Art of James Camerons Avatar

"(W) Lisa Fitzpatrick Writer/director James Cameron has been crafting Avatar for over 4 years. An ex-Marine is drawn into hostilities on a distant planet filled with exotic life forms. As an avatar, a human consciousness in an alien body, he finds himself torn between two worlds, in a desperate fight for his own survival and that of the indigenous people. The Art of Avatar, the companion book to this 3-D action adventure, explores the developmental and conceptual art used by the creative team, revealing the process behind the creation of set designs, landscapes, battle scenes, and fantastical creatures."
