We Spent 65 Days Recreating AVATAR with ZERO CGI

- We Spent 65 Days Recreating Avatar WITHOUT Any CGI. We Tried To Recreate AVATAR Without Any CGI. We (fIlmmakers Felipe and Michelle) jumped on our hardest cinematography challenge yet...we tried to film James Cameron's Avatar (the way of water) without any VFX, no CGI, nothing! Everything must be achieved through practical effects and in LIVE ACTION.
So we chose two different shots. The first one was a close up of Neytiri, so Michelle had to do Na'vi cosplay without any prior experience in special effects makeup. Then we built a set at home that was supposed to look like Pandora, and with a slider, we managed to pull something kind of decent (not really).
For the second shot, we chose one of the most famous images in this movie, when a Tulkun is holding Lo'ak (Jake Sully's son) hand underwater. This was incredibly hard to replicate because we had to use miniatures, and a giant fishtank to place our cameras underneath. Then, in post-production, we had to do a lot of color correction and we did add some live action water texture, because the ocean current was simple not there....in a fishtank.
This took 2 months of work and we just realized that our miniature doesn't move his foot in the last shot 😆😆😆 anyways, hope u guys like it! thanks for watching :)
Yes we love it ❤❤
you really are talented and hard-workers! really really good work :)
what you two accomplished was amazing, my only complaint was you didnt know the shot in slow mo, i had to pause to get a good look
These videos are awesome. You guys are hilarious and are great creative improvisers. Keep it up! I can see this channel having a million subscribers by next year
Thank you so much Mike!! This means a lot!!
With just 2 videos, you guys are already one of my favourite content creators on this platform. Your amazingly loveable personalities, supreme editing, natural humour, dedication and overall high quality content is just REMARKABLE. I honestly cannot express just how much I love what you guys are making here, and I hope y'all never stop! You guys have such a bright future ahead of you, and I am honoured to say that I have joined the skeleton crew this early ✊🏼🔥💙
WOW!!!😍🥹 how do we begin to thank you for such thoughtful and kind words? We’re speechless and truly don’t know how to say thank you enough ♥️ 🥰 we’re so grateful to have people like you here, so honored to know you like the videos and we hope we don’t disappoint you with the next one!!! Sending love and gratitude your way ♥️🤗
@@felipeandmichelle you're so very welcome! And I really don't think I could ever be disappointed by your content! Y'all are proof that quality over quantity always wins. If you guys ever need someone to help with the channel in any way, feel free to contact me and I'd be more than willing to help in whatever I can, as there's nothing I love more than seeing hidden gems like you guys grow. Keep up the great work and take care of yourselves, sending even more love your way 🙌🏼❤️
I've seen a couple shot recreation videos where creators are just messing around and don't care as much about attention to detail because they're trying to tackle entire scenes. I love the format you've chosen where you focus on fewer shots and then put so much care and work into recreating them. These are such great filmmaking crash courses! I also love how you include the mini lighting diagrams. Can't wait to see what you do next!
Hi Jacob! Thank you so much :) we’re so happy you liked it! we will make sure to include lighting diagrams on the next one, we weren’t sure if people found them boring or helpful, but your feedback helps a lot :)
Love the dynamic between you two. These techniques are brilliant and I'm actually learning more from your two videos than I did from film class lol. Just overall perfect content. Looking forward for more "recreating" videos. And also other types of content that you might produce in the future because honestly anything you'll upload will be GOLD.
Thank you so so much!! We are so happy you liked the videos :) right now we are working on recreating 100 years of Oscar winning films and also an “NF - Hope” music video reaction that was highly requested. Hope to see you there :) thank you for all the kind words 🥹
Your guys’ chemistry is so on point I can’t believe how natural this comes to you both. So entertaining to watch 😂 I love you both. You have a huge fan from Arizona.
Thank you so so much!! We are so happy that you liked the videos :) lots of love all the way to Arizona 🤗
Wow the water looks absolutely amazing in the second shot!! The slight ripples you managed to get I imagine from the fans really sell it. Can't wait to see more from your channel!
Thank you so much! We added some texture in post to help it look better and also lots of color correction :)
You are guys hilarious and crazy creative! This videos are 🔥! Will be looking forward to whenever you posts!
Thank you so so much!! we are so happy you like them 😃
This having 800 views is crazy cause damn you guys are amazing. I beg you to never stop making these!
This means a lot! Thank you so much :) we are working on the next video right now 💜
I just wanted to take a moment to express how much I was touched by your incredible creativity and resourcefulness in your videos. I recently watched your Batman video and was thoroughly impressed, but your Avatar 2 recreation without CGI was simply mind-blowing. Your attention to detail and passion for filmmaking is truly inspiring, and I can only imagine the amount of time and effort you must have put into these projects.
It's clear that you pour your heart and soul into your work, and I am in awe of your talent and dedication. I can't wait to see what other incredible projects you have in store, and I will definitely be a dedicated subscriber from here on out. Keep up the fantastic work, and know that you have touched and inspired many with your amazing creations.
I'm French and I just discovered your channel thanks to the recommendations, I'm already a BIG fan of you guys content. Honestly it's so refreshing and entertaining it feels like the videos last 5 min ! The only thing I am disappointed for is when I found out there were only 2 videos yet.. Jokes aside, y'all are very talented and we can feel all the work behind this, you two can be proud ! Sorry if my English is not perfect tho lmao, can't wait to see your next work
Thank you so much for such encouraging words ❤️ we're genuinely happy that you liked the videos and your comment inspires us to keep working hard on the next one :) sending lots of love all the way to France, I hope we can visit your beautiful country one day!
It's awesome to see your channel exploding with subscribers. You deserve it.

Glad youtube recommended this❤
Thank you so much!! Working on the next one right now ♥️
I just want to say well done and thank you for posting. I can imagine how much time and effort these videos take to not only shoot but edit. You’re effectively making two videos in one. And the money you’re spending… you’re spending real dollars to get it just right. Thank you.
You have touched me, you have inspired me and I say thank you.
Please do not give into the pressure of having to post frequently. The internet is shifting from a quantity appreciation to quality appreciation. I’ve tested it. It’s true. So that means you just have to keep up your attention to detail and not compromise it for post frequency. Take your time. Take care of yourselves and take care of each other.
I’m so moved. And glad to be a subscriber of an already iconic RUclips channel. God bless you guys!!
Toby, we don’t know how to thank you enough for leaving such kind, thoughtful, and encouraging words 🥹♥️ we’ve been so moved by your comment that we genuinely didn’t know how to respond, we just want to say THANK YOU 🤗 and let you know that today we’ve been working extra hard on the new video thanks to the motivation and inspiration that you gave us 🥰 we hope we don’t disappoint you!!! God bless you, sending you much gratitude and love ♥️

Dropping the end products as shorts in between these amazing and entertaining full length videos should help you with algorithm stuff. :) deserve more subscribers.

WOOOW, I was expecting the first one to come out better, and oh boy was surprised, when the second scene was shown, for a second, I couldn't tell which is yours, and which is original :D
We weren't huge fans of the first one either, but we try to keep it as real as possible so you guys can see both our successes and failures :) thank you so much!
This is amazing!!! The results were really well done!!! Nice job!
Thank you so much!! We appreciate it :)

Between this one and the batman video, I HAD to subscribe, keep up the awesome work!!
Thank you so much!! We appreciate you ♥️
These videos Are genuinly so much better quality than pretty much all RUclips channels with over 40 MILLION SUBSCRIBERS. I mean you literally deserve 1000x your subscribers. ❤ ps that final shot with the whale actually took me a second to realis which was which 😅
Omg thank you so much Steven!! We really appreciate such kind words and all the encouragement 🥹♥️ so happy you liked the videos :)
Thanks to RUclips for the recommendations! You guys are amazing!))
Thank you so much Alexander ♥️ this means a lot 🥹
I Iove how much effort you guys put into this! You're recreations is stunning, same goes for the Batman video aswell. Super talented!! Im always gonna be here, even when you guys blow up! I have a feeling one day soon you'll be passing 1 million subscribers. Honestly you guys deserve it! Keep up the amazing work!!!
Thank you so much!!! We truly appreciate your kind words :) we’ve been working non-stop on the new video and it will be ready this week :) hope we don’t disappoint you 😊
@@felipeandmichelle Awesome!!! Super excited!! I'm sure it'll be another banger!!!
You guys are Aliens with big brains and Creativity 🔥🔥
Hahaha thank you so much!! 😃
That's a LOT of work for such a small channel. Very impressive!
Thank you so much!! We genuinely appreciate it ❤️
This is literally a filmakers golden guide.
Thank you so much 🤗
@Filipe and Michelle , could you guys post how you color grade these shots?
We might to post that and some LUTS of all of our projects soon :)
Great job on the shots they looked really good. This video was too funny l could not stop laughing
Omg thank you so much!! We’re so happy you enjoyed it 🤗
If you do that with a Marvel movie, your channel's gonna be big soon ^^ I'm sure. Because your work is incredible!
Thank you so much!! ♥️That’s a great idea!! What are your favorite Marvel movies you would like to see?
@@felipeandmichelle I think it can ask you a lot of work sadly, Iron Man 3 is a movie with great impressive shot. It will be a challenge for you. But maybe you will unite more subscribers with an Avenger Movie haha.
@@felipeandmichelle Avengers 3 or Spider-Man no way home. Zack Snyder's Justice League would help for views too but might open you guys up to the controversy surrounding it.
@@na5567 @Blackline Thank you both for the ideas :) we’ve been working on an Oscars video for 2 months, so once we are done with that one we will start incorporating more Marvel 🤩 some people also requested a Joker video, would you guys be interested in that?
@@felipeandmichelle A Joker video would definitely be a smart choice if you line it up with the new movies release. Speaking artistically I think it would be cool as well! Really hope to see the channel grow.
That-especially the whale shot-is surprisingly good! It looks 95% like the original. And kudus for learning Blender, great job!
Thank you so much!! We appreciate it :)
@@felipeandmichelle Indeed welcome! Can’t wait to see more from you, especially anything made using Blender??😉😉😁
That look of betrayal on his face when she called him a middle aged man. >_
Hahaha 🤭
One of the best entertainment movie-related youtube channels out there - the creativity and quality of your videos are stunning. I just wish more people knew about you. I will definitely keep cheering for you two!
