i just figured

during the chase scene... keep looking at the bamboo, dont look at anything else!

it makes the whole picture look like some low class cgi! dont get me wrong here avatar is great and the cgi is perfect (when just watching the movie)

@GetTheGr33n You do know that bamboo is long, hard, woody but light and hollow on the inside? Did you expect it to be swaying like a tree?

@Zeigy

i dont mean the bamboo breaking... look at it closely it s not a "3d" object within the picture, smoke in videogames, balls and other round objects are usualy just a single polygon with a texture on it that is turned towards the viewer constantly. and that is exactly what the bamboo looks like. i know theres not a lot of tilting the camera arround the bamboo so its no big deal but i was kind of surprised to notice this "tiny flaw" ;)

@GetTheGr33n Well I wouldn't know. You sound like a video graphics expert.

Meanwhile that camera man has nerves of steel. Imagine having this monster trying to eat you and you just stay there to capture all the footage like you're in a movie or something. That's dedication!
