Behind 'Avatar: The Last Airbender' | VFX Breakdown from Framestore

Netflix's live-action series "Avatar: The Last Airbender" is based on a fantastical world filled with colors of nature and extraordinary creatures. Framestore Studio utilized outstanding visual effects technology to breathe life into the creatures of the world of Avatar, including Appa, Momo, and Hei Bai.

To faithfully capture the essence of the original work and ensure the realism of the creatures, Framestore's visual effects teams in New York and London drew inspiration from real-life animals such as hippos, bats, monkeys, foxes, and rabbits. Art books also served as an important source of inspiration in portraying their movements and silhouettes.
