You don’t exactly need an MBA to figure out the reasoning behind putting two of the most profitable movies of all time back in theaters. “The goal was to make it indistinguishable from original 3D photography, and I had done so much 3D photography that I knew what to ask for.” “Most conversions are kinda done cheapo and I think we spent 18 million dollars on the 3D conversion for Titanic, so it was handcrafted 3D,” said the filmmaker. While Avatar was always intended to be seen in 3D, Titanic had to undergo a full conversion. “We created new interframes to smooth out some of the strobing and some of the rapid camera moves - during the viperwolf chase, the thanator chase, things like that - to improve the stereoscopic experience.”Īvatar isn’t the only one of Cameron’s movies getting a remaster, as Titanic will be getting the same treatment for its 25th anniversary next year. And while a higher frame rate is a divisive topic among cinephiles, Cameron and company are applying it sparingly. “Weta had done such a good job at the time, doing their renders in high dynamic range anyway - even though projection couldn’t handle it at the time - we didn’t have to do that much,” he said. Many of the improvements made for the remaster were made easier thanks to the quality of Avatar’s visual effects when it was first released.
