Hi everyone! Or whoever is still checking this blog after such a long time of radio silence. Now we're really into full steam ahead with the work on James Cameron's "Avatar". He actually came to visit us artists last friday. It was really cool. He had some very kind words about our work and one could actually feel the moral-meter raise considerably (not that moral's low).
He shook my hand after I told him I worked on two of his earlier projects (Terminator 2/3D and Titanic) and said "So you're back for more!".
He also talked about the matte paintings for Avatar for about five minutes which was a real boost for my colleagues and me. JC proceeded to tell us how people reacted to seeing 25 minutes of the movie in Amsterdam.
Their impression must have been similar than mine - we also had a screening that day: Even though I've been working on this for a long time it was breathtaking to see everything in context. I can't really say anything but that it blew me away.
See you on the other side!!!

That is amazing! Did you create any of the matte paintings from the official trailer? Hope you're allowed to answer that question...
Hey - yeah, there were two paintings of mine in the trailer - once when the guy gets yanked from the helicopter, the other one is the night shot with the planet in the sky. I just did planet and the sky though ...
Glad you liked it - the movie will be something like you've never seen before - make sure you watch it in 3D!
Awesome! That is a great project to be involved with.
Am gonna drag my wife along to see it. She ain't too excited yet but we'll def watch it in 3D.
Meanwhile, please keep posting whatever info you can...
