No real bears were used in the making of the film, the bear in the film is an entirely CGI creation. We worked in tandem with @WetaWorkshop to build a life-size bear head / stuffy for on-set reference. 🧸 #W ētāFX #VFX #CocaineBear

"We don’t lock down any design until we know that we can get it to move how we want, because the movement is the character." For more details on #AvatarTheWayOfWater see Sr VFX Supervisor Joe Letteri’s interview with @VanityFair ➡️ #W ētāFX #VFX #Avatar

Inside the Visual Effects of Avatar: The Way of Water: “Water Is Both a Blessing and a Curse”

“We’ve all seen water rendered before, [but in this film] we were going to have a lot of character interaction with water,” says Letteri. “Jim was going to be in this virtual ocean with a virtual camera and a virtual splash housing as characters are having dialogue and action.”
