I love that J. Letteri said in his acceptance speech for his Visual Effects Oscar: “Remember, the world we live in is just as amazing as the one we created for you”. WOW

This was the acceptance speech I’ll remember the most from the Oscars of 2010. Avatar was by far my favorite movie of the year and I think its message about nature is as important a message as we can give our children. But to hear these words from someone whose work depends on technology and who was awarded an Oscar for this technology was amazing to me.

Thank you Joe Letteri for reminding people that we live in an amazing world filled with amazing creatures every bit as amazing as those we saw in Avatar. And if you doubt his words or mine for even a second, here’s a visual reminder of what awaits us this spring and summer.
