Abstract:
In The Last Airbender, citizens of the Water Nation are bestowed with the ability to control water. Under a waterbender’s control, water is able to take on a huge variety of shapes both furious and serene. Turning these gifts into a visually compelling reality was one of the main technical challenges faced in production of The Last Airbender.
