He revealed that the real potential of CG artwork is yet to be witnessed, which they’ve seemingly avoided in the trailers released till now. He shared,
“People don’t fully realize it because we’ve managed to avoid a lot in the trailers. [Laughs] But yeah, the waterwork we got to obviously use a lot of what [Avatar] The Way of Water did, but put in CG apes, which is a whole new frontier for Wētā, I think. The amount of simulation data far exceeds anything they’ve done previously. It’s wild.”

The film director further delved into the amount of CGI usedin the upcoming movie. He confirmed that“all the water stuff”seen in the project is nothing but the impeccable work of the post-production team.
In the same interview, he shared,
“Every bit of water you see in the movie is all CG. We didn’t shoot anything. It’s pretty stunning stuff.”
He continued,
“It’s way more complicated this time because it’s not like waves in the sea. It’s crashing and interacting, wet fur, fur strands blowing, water flowing through the fur. It’s just insane. That stuff was the last stuff we delivered. It took a year and a couple of months to do.”
