Congratulations to Ben and Dylan and the US and NZ crews for your years of hard work!! Fingers crossed!
And a few more! (I mean VFX feels like a no brainer!) Congratulations to all of the incredibly hard working teams!! ImageImageImage
For the uninitiated, "Best Production Design" roughly translates to "Best Art Direction" for film. So if you liked the visual design of the sets, landscapes, vehicles, and in this case creatures for #AvatarTheWayOfWater this would be the category.
As well as all of the physical builds of said sets, etc. (Not costumes though, costume design is its own category).
I think on a film like this, to some, production design might easily be conflated with visual effects, which is the visual execution of the final CG elements onscreen (also absolutely stellar in #AvatarTheWayOfWater, IMO).
So again, a gigantic congratulations to @BProcterDesign and @DylanColeArt, and all of the US and NZ art teams (especially my Lightstorm art department family) on #avatarthewayofwater for your @TheAcademy nomination!! Could not be more well deserved!

Official #conceptart for the "Skimwing" in #AvatarTheWayOfWater - Part 1.⁠ A Thread🧵

After hundreds of iterations and nearly a year of my life, under the guidance of @DylanColeArt, we finally arrived at this image to get the design over the finish line. Image
From the start, Jim had always described it as sort of a "badass flying fish". We always knew it was going to have 3 modes of movement: swimming underwater, "skimming" on top of the water in "ground effect" (an aircraft term I admit I had to google the first time Jim used it),
and full on flying for short periods: basically everything a flying fish could do.⁠..

Official #conceptart for the "Akula" for #AvatarTheWayOfWater. A thread 🧵.

On my first day after being hired, @DylanColeArt gave me my first assignment: "I need you to design a Pandoran shark". No pressure.⁠ Image
My imposter syndrome had ALREADY been riding incredibly high (getting a tour of the #Avatar2 concept art gallery had already put the fear of god in me), but after he said that I nearly passed out. After picking myself up off the floor, I got to work.⁠
We went through a few dozen "blue sky" exploratory versions, and within a few days I found myself in a room with the one and only #JamesCameron. No pressure again!! 🙃
