And that depth of field thing is mainly affected by the aperture size they are using, but is more noticable in telephoto lenses.

Hm, a blend of CG and live sets. So that must mean the CG must be so good you can’t tell when it goes from one to the other… That would be pretty sweet…

Interesting photo.. I thought this movie was gonna be entirely in 3D, like beowulf? So there are some physical sets after all?

That object in front of Cameron,
Is that a biobed or some sort of high tech sarcophagus?

Part of the photo is blurry because of depth of field–it’s called short focus or shallow depth of field, common on film or video cameras, or still cameras, with long/telephoto(-ish) lenses.

I read at Ain’t It Cool News that it may be the bed the humans lay in to jack into their avatars.

An interesting picture. What we really need is a trailer to see if this will be a revolutionary film or just another star was prequel or star trek reboot. I’m hoping Jim can pull a great original Sci-Fi epic. Show Hollywood that being original for once will workout for the better. Just wandering. Does this pic look photo shopped to anyone? The focus of the object going behind Jims head is blurry but he is’nt. just looks strange.
