Some early concepts from the blue-sky phase before shooting- https://t.co/QSV289vHx3
I'm sooo looking forward to Avatwo, Avathree etc!!!- Here's another image of the Valkyrie in an almost-final form... we went through a lot of ideation with this ship- seeing it in ILM's final shots was far better than my highest hopes- https://t.co/lbr4piXkwF
I'll add to this a little and Follow- I might want to learn a little Na'vi in the next few months! https://t.co/MTU7Cq5GNz
The full sized illustration of RAMA: The Starfish- I recently re-read the book, glad I did! So many of Clarke's ultra-hard-sci-fi concepts are still too big and crazy to be put on screen, despite being decades old now...
Two early concepts on the way to the final design- JJ and PD Scott Chambliss were very specific with their descriptions of the 'radial circular spoke' look of this base- they were referencing something from Trek history (I forget work) plus a lot of art dept work to this point- https://t.co/KPlrmDszu9
One of the miniatures built/shot by ILM for this sequence along with the approved 3-view sketch, some of my sketch notes showing the thinking behind the ATTE design... https://t.co/Z2kj8eWYSj
Yes definitely a Millenium Falcon type ship- Lucas was specific about this request- but other than that just a lot of late night scribblings! Some pretty bad ship designs to be honest but I wanted to convey the 'multi species' nature of this parking lot- https://t.co/aAIy1Nfsv4
Here is my approved concept art for this shot of a Geonosian Hallway- https://t.co/u0f8e1XUgv
Some more very early Valkyrie development sketches- Cameron ended up wanting a design with large reconfiguring engines to pivot and visually change from VTOL to cruise- he thought maybe nuclear powered with electrically driven VTOL fans- large intakes of final are for radiator... https://t.co/WL7oBnDWwP
