Fusion Camera Systems:
The Fusion Camera System’s invention as shown in Figure 35 was built upon the
existing of 3D systems; the previous systems required the use of two cameras.
From this point we've to mention the great
role of James Cameron and Pace who took
the knowledge of how a brain could
translate and process a motion 3D picture
and created a system that was able to put
different components into one complete
picture using one camera with two lenses
that works together simulating the human
eye.
So we can define the Fusion Camera
System as one camera that is capable of
processing multiple aspects at the same
time.
Cament:
Cament is a thing that allows a network of different devices to work together.
It is incorporated recording, playback options and images. The Fusion Camera
System’s utilization of a cament created a smoother and more cohesive filming
process than had ever been possible with other 3D systems. Directors became able
to go back and edit filming in a more precise manner because all components of
the video had been combined during the filming process. The use of a cament in
the Fusion Camera System cut the editing process in half and enhanced the quality
of filming.
Fusion camera is applied on many movies such as Avatar and Tron legacy:
Avatar:
The director (James Cameron) said that the film is a combination of a full live-
action shoot with computer-generated characters and live environments (60%
computer-generated elements and 40% live action), this live action was shot with
the modified version of the digital 3D Fusion Camera System.

`
Avatar was done at 24 frames per second (HFR technology), Cameron used CGI
technology as shown in Figure 36 and he used his virtual camera system, by using
motion capture in filmmaking, which showed the actor's virtual counterparts in the
time of filming, which allowed the director to direct the scenes as if he was
shooting a normal scene, but any other elements cannot be seen until the motion
capture of the actors is complete.
From the challenges that faced the crew of the film:
• The Avatars Look:
The director wanted to create
nine-foot tall blue people as in
Figure 37, but he didn't want
to use makeup nor any
costume fittings to make them
appear in that way, instead he
used technology, he used
motion capture but this time
he didn't need a computer as
he has the fusion camera
which make them appear in
that shape without any editing,
