James Cameron's 2009 film Avatar was a
groundbreaking work that introduced audiences
to the amazing world of Pandora and the Earth's
RDA (Resources Development Administration)
forces bent on its exploitation. We had the honor of
working under its Co-Production Designers, Robert
Stromberg and Rick Carter, as Concept Art Directors.
When it came time to crew up for a series of Avatar
sequels, we were immensely lucky to be tapped
by Cameron and Jon Landau to design them as
Co-Production Designers covering all four films.
While incredibly excited, we were also keenly
aware we had big shoes to fill pioneering the new
realms of a uniquely beloved film world.
As they say, "no pressure"!
