Biggest example would be Heat with Pacino & Deniro repeating the same lines from Mann's own LA Takedown from years earlier. One is iconic, the other is hokey. Same script
Definitely. Evem if the design of characters have changed, you can see in the test that there are facial expressions. Given the model they are applied to, they do move very smoothly and realistically. But just as you said, it's the acting. The pupet may be near perfect, but it's the pupeteer giving it the life.
@@xXLonetacoXx u know you're not wrong, the "non actors" are probably more realistic in terms of how actual people talk to each other and move, but the finished scenes are so much more interesting to watch lol
The newer script shows more of Neytiri's emotional/sensitive personality, and has more of a focus on exactly why the human invaders were awful. The humans aren't even trying to understand where they are and how to coexist, they have the fundamental knowledge of a baby. When they can't just get rid of their problems with the first solution they know, they just cry for someone to fix it for them. The best humans in the whole movie were the ones who actually let themselves be incorrect and seeked to learn more about every situation, and the ones who ACTUALLY LISTENED to the Na'vi.
@@MatchaCatXxx honestly not sure actually! At best, perhaps I just gave a good analysis with not much to add to? I'm down for any suggestions or corrections though
I love how animation that could’ve taken dozens of hours & thousands of dollars to make just a few decades ago is now considered “quick/cheap footage used for a test”. So much progress in 3D animation technology (& mocap technology) in just a single lifetime!! 🤩
It's not just animation. But the acting , the voice, and how it's said. The original sounds too aggressive. The Movie one is calm. When Jack said why not kill me, in the final it was calm and soothing, the original it seems he's in attack mode. When Neytiri said stupid ignorant in the original it sounded she aggressive, the final it sounds like filtering like angry in a cute way. Huge difference.
An extra point of detail is the immersion the final acting style brings. The scene in context of the film takes place after an experience out in the night time woods with predator wildlife that have a strong sense of hearing. And it's the quiet weight of the action after a noisy and reluctant fight. It makes a lot of sense that in the final dialogue is spoken in gentle, hushed voices, maybe even a little out of breath, considering the actions. And this is also on of the first favourable interactions Jake had with any Na'vi people, the hostility is let down for a bit to speak to him sensitively about something she admires in him.
I feel like Neytiri sounded older back then like a 50 year old and Jake sounded like a 15 year old but now they actually sound the same age and better for each other.
Honestly if they released the test film, I still would've liked it because that's really developed for the year it was made. I do think the environment would've been really dull though based on what we see. No glowing plants, just a very muted regular rainforest. Avatar was and still is my favorite movie of all time
2007 male actor made it like a male character in some adventure movies, conservative, close-minded at first. 2009 sam did the best performance, portrayed a open-minded, ready to cooperate with the natives. Anyway, I think 2007 actor did his job really good for a capture test
Things that the 2009 is superior : 1. Design 2. motion capture animation Things that the 2007 test is superior : 1. The acting (idk why, but the acting in the test look way more natural than in the final product)
I think in the first one they delivered almost every line to sound mad or desperate. In the final film, the actors took every line and delivered it differently, matched their tone to that specific line and so created contrast between lines, and developement of the conversation from line to line
i do like that in the test verion her english is more broken. to me that feels a tad more realistic because yes she did learn it but how often does she speak english outside of talking to jake. if you dont speak it alot you'll get rusty and your speach will be more broken
I mean, there was an English school that Neytiri was associated with in the time before the film takes place, so with this storyline detail she'd by somewhat educated in the grammar of human English, and her Na'vi language/accent would be less distinguishable as a specific human one (the demo actress speaks with traits of various Asian accents, I'm not informed enough to pick which one). She actually had a sister too, who was killed by human military violence there (it doesn't get referenced in the film for some reason) which strengthens her delivery. She's talking to yet another human puppet in their language, and you can hear the cynical mistrust. There's an interesting imbalance in how much effort she and many others put into learning to speak their language fluently, yet the humans are so ignorant to not even learn basic survival beyond using guns.
I personally like the test footage much more visually. It's a little more stylized so it's not quite as uncanny. The actual quality is a little worse but I felt like I could actually tell what their emotions were when I really can't in the finished product.
no offense but the test actors were horrible,because they show NO emotion at all and dont even look or feel as if they they are Neytiri and Jake they look like kids reading of a board NO HATE!!!!!!
The test looks like one of those animated movies sponsored by Nikelodeon you watched once, and then saw Nostalgia Critic review years later.
this is so specific yet true lmao
Mars needs moms vibes
blatant example of how quality actors can completely change how the script and characters feel.

Right? The first actors spoke so much more realistcally. The 2nd set sounded so much more forced and "movie" sounding.

Sought.
"Seeked" isn't a word.
@@terenarosa4790 yeah you're right. Seeked sounded weird but I couldn't remember the correct word to put in its place
@@lilpetz500 kind of like when i say "thingy" or "do diddle" for a term i forget in my 3D modeling class 😅
The original looks ancient Egyptian
It's prototype.
it's not the original, they were testing the actors, so much so that the actors are not the same
Now that you say it... O.O I smell a plottwist!!!!
@@pinkcrystal7250o, it was just a test before the actual movie started being made

Well one is a test and one is with actors so
Zoe perfomance is so good, I like that there is physical performance that adds to the fact she is an alien
Zoe saldana was the perfect choice for neytiri
I love how the ears flicker, I don't know why but I prefer the final 2009 since it looks cute compared to what 2007 supposed to be
That’s crazy this is only 2 years difference-I know it’s also just a test but still
The old original Jake looks like Norm 😂
That's what I was thinking
I feel like Neytiri sounded older back then like a 50 year old and Jake sounded like a 15 year old but now they actually sound the same age and better for each other.

Looks like a video game
It does lmao
It s the eyes... Creepy
2009: best CGI world ever put to film
2007: Planet Sheen
"Dont worry, Asian Jake & Neytiri can't haunt you."

Thank god we've got Zoe Saldana to play Neytiri 👀💙
1:02 this version seems good cause to be quite
The original looked like from an episode of The Clone Wars💀

...You think the acting is superior in the 2007 clip...??? Ain't no way lmfao
@@MariosPOSthe 2009 >> 2007
There's more expression and emotion on her face, as well as her voice.
i'm sorry but- design? It's good but I prefer 2009's
Sooo glad they changed it
You not fear, you strong heart
Even the Avatar prototype is very well done.😮😮
The test world looks to similar to our own and the Test Avatar and Navi look to alien in the environment
ive watched many of these and im still confused on if they are different actors or the same cuz the tests change it
They’re different actors
@@caitlynpuzee1703 thank you omg i was confused for idk how long lol
@@juggalo-b6qI feel you there I was so confused to
idk why but i feel like the test looked more like they would be in love
Does anyone else think the first one kinda looks like Lana del Rey 😭
do not diss my girl lana like that
BYE I CAN SEE IT LMFAOAO
It’s like they take a good look at it and said , now can you do it again but not looking ugly, re design them cute
i do like that in the test verion her english is more broken. to me that feels a tad more realistic because yes she did learn it but how often does she speak english outside of talking to jake. if you dont speak it alot you'll get rusty and your speach will be more broken
I like the design(as in style,dress, etc,)in the 2007 version better, but the acting an retouching, etc,,from2009 better obviously...
Alright but the past one if you think how the graphics were like back then you can realise what a good job was
The 2007 test was done with other actors
The test looks like a nice animated movie
Jake and Neytiri:Why save me? Why Save? Jake:✨YuH✨
Of course, it's different because the actors are different.
I will never stop loving this masterpiece of a movie. Amazing!
"bUt STUPID iGnOrAnt LIKE chILD!" The original one scares me
I like that in the new one it looks unique in the test it looks like a regular forest
The original seems like more native because she is very small with her English
I mean, there was an English school that Neytiri was associated with in the time before the film takes place, so with this storyline detail she'd by somewhat educated in the grammar of human English, and her Na'vi language/accent would be less distinguishable as a specific human one (the demo actress speaks with traits of various Asian accents, I'm not informed enough to pick which one).

The actual film isn’t uncanny at all you’re on mushrooms
What are you on the final version is superior in every way lol
Thank god they didn’t look like that! 😂 but still, the movie turned out amazing! (Like always)
Sam’s voice woof 😮💨🔥 both of them!!
The first one could be like a fucking video game shhashbajwkwksjsbd
No primeiro a aparência da Naytire ficou menos parecida com humanos 😮
El Jake del test se parece al diseño de Norm
When you order Avatar from Wish
Why does it remind me of cats?
Because their design is inspired by feline features
@@LuciesCafe oh, that's actually nice
The test avatar Neytiri looks scary-
Neytiri 💙
thank God for final version xD
Английский на котором говорит Нейтири, единственный английский акцент который я понимаю
I think, dialogs in 1 version are more realistic
대한민국 김윤진 배우네
미안한데 김윤진은 미국인임
The first one looked like a different tribe in wetland area, I have played their beta game and they literally looked alike
EWWWWWWW UGGHHHH SHES HIDEOUS WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS IMMA GONNA HAVE NIGHTMARES (off corse I’m joking)
AAAAAAHHH IM SOOO SO SORRY BUT DONT WORRY SHE DIED IN 2007 (don't watch my shrek vids, that's real nightmare fuel)
@@charlesjackson9813 months ago lmao but she didn’t
new sub! you now have 400 subs! yw :D
Test Jake looks a lot like avatar Norm.
This was peak cinema in 2009 ❤
God loves you and take care. Both were beautiful and great but the final cuts were so much better
I like the second one better.
저건 뭐예요? 아바타 패러디?
아바타가 개봉하기 전 테스트용으로 만들어두었던 파일입니다!
She looks more elegant and royal but also cold not as empathetic in the test
Zoe was the perfect neytiri
The 1st has a stronger accent
The original looks like a videogame, i wish vidgames could look like movies nowadays, sighh.... :(
I find the acting and emotion better in the demo, it grabs my attention more than the half-whispering.
uh ok
you don't need to be loud to get the point across
The original actor was korean
The prototype Jake looks so cry baby man
New one is better now I saw part 1&2 in the cinema my mom cryed
You ony come and make PROBREM
Zoi Saldana is the best
That short demo cost nearly 10 million according to Cameron. Not exactly a low budget.
The difference in acting talents
The test one, kinda reminds me of sphinxes!

The first one wasn’t terrible but I’m glad they went with the second one (the one we have now)
👁v👁
Fris look like
windos xp vs RTX 3090
The test scene im sorry, has 0 emotion, and the backround sound is just dead and non existant
Normal movie in ohio
no offense but the test actors were horrible,because they show NO emotion at all and dont even look or feel as if they they are Neytiri and Jake they look like kids reading of a board
NO HATE!!!!!!
The accent is just cringe.
she just korean
You not fear, you strong heart
Her neck is too long.
