CREEPY HUMANOID ROBOTS FROM VERMONT

The ultimate goal for many scientists is to create robots that look, think and act like humans. Artificial life. I've seen the Terminator and Alien series, and from that alone, the thought of it has always seemed to creep me out (except the part in Aliens where Bishop does the knife trick).  When you reach the point of giving an artificial being the power of irrationality and emotion, don't be surprised at the outcome it derives. via: creativity

James Cameron behind the scenes featurette of how Avatar and all the effects were created. From CGI to clay models to augmented reality to the 3D finished film.
