The movie "Affan up to" create a magical alien environment. The expertise of scientists supported by the the virtual world. From the University of California botanist riverside campus is not only a film Jody woman botanist "Grace," a prototype, but also for film details the creation of a lot of plants. Recently, this reporter by e-mail on the women scientists of the interview, Jie Mi science behind the scenes story of the film.
Become a "Grace" Prototype
One day in early 2007, 57-year-old botanist Jody Falter-ho (Jodie Holt) sits 80 kilometers away from the Los Angeles University of California, riverside campus office. She is the director of school plant science, professor of plant physiology. Hollywood producer Landau's an assistant to find her, and asked: "We shoot a called" Affan up "movies. You are willing to do for the actors consultant to teach her how good a botanist speech?" The assistant said, the film talking about the human mining companies and a distant planet, a conflict between the indigenous people.
Soon, Jody came to Santa Monica in one part of Portland Road and Cameron's production plant. She had never been in a place like this, people here think everyone in colorful dress. Here, as in the same laboratory may be in fact common, people dressed casually and there were all kinds of computers and devices that everyone called someone else's nickname. The only exception is, everyone called her "ho Erteboshi."
When she was found to be co-operation of the "star" is the famous Sigourney Weaver, she was surprised. Surprise more and more. Her participation in the film, initially only for Weaver's image of a consultant botanist. Soon she was invited to become a Pandora plant's scientific advisor.
When he met the first and Jody Cameron dressed casually, wearing jeans, T-shirts, wearing a baseball cap. They talked for two hours as much as Jody did not think the director of the ecological environment of the planet Pandora's set is so complete, it seems the planet broke exist in one corner of the universe: the density of gravity is very low, Atmospheric toxic, light little mountain will float, aboriginal has blue skin ... ...
For Cameron to create a "plant species"
Cameron men have many of the world's top visual artists, they created a Pandora's Planet of the various plants, Jody's job is to these plants is full of artistic proposals, so that it becomes more credible in science . Initially, the plant on the planet Pandora have been painted blue. She was shocked, asked: "They do this how photosynthesis?" In her proposal, these plants are to change from blue back to become a dark green, but in the evening to give a strange light.
Cameron has a variety of mind Pandora biological details. He told Jody I hope there are some semi-plants on the planet, half-animal things. As a result, along with Jody and his colleagues created a new category of species to "inject animals." Some of them will have the same moment as the sea anemone collapse of the spine, some carrying exchange, some even can feel the heat prey, and quickly surrounded by animals, injection of the venom to kill. Judy is also the film follow-up products such as games, books and other written Pandora concrete plant introduction, and even created a Latin scientific name of each plant. For example, Jody said, there is a Pandora's line of tall and large plants where there are a number of globular material, looks very much like the French dessert "croquembou", Jody used this name to it.
In the Hollywood job is fun and easy. Onitsuka Tiger Mexico Mid Runner Jody worked at the bank branch for 27 years, most of the time spent in the laboratory and field every day and all kinds of thistle class and the grass plants to deal with. During this "from the film" experience has also opened for her life in another window. Her most surprising is that the film popular in the world, and is likely to sweep the Academy Awards. While the rest of the team is concerned, as a botanist, she contributed little to the film, but also on the street so no one recognized her. But she still very happy because her father gave her a nicely thus the nickname: "leading to the Star botanist."
