This is a timeline of the real-world events in relation to the Avatar series.

Contents

1970-71Edit

While in 11th grade, James Cameron did a pen drawing entitled "Spring on Planet Flora". This evolved into the concept of the alien jungle landscape on Pandora.[1] [2]

1972-73Edit

James Cameron studies "Folklore and Mythology" and "Cultural Anthropology". Around this time, he was also influenced by James Lovelock's Gaia Hypothesis.[2]

1974Edit

James Cameron wrote a short film script entitled "Chrysalis", about a wheel-chair user who has all sensory input surgically removed and undertakes an inward journey across an alien landscape.[2]

1978Edit

Cameron produces a pencil sketch entitled "Exploring the Exotic Environment of a Luminous Planet". The sketch shows a male and female character on an alien planet and a tree with a spiral shape. The tree in the drawing became the basis for the helicoradian, and the "brain coral floor" went on to become the basis for the area around the Tree of Souls. Cameron also made a series of paintings, showing "jagged, vertical mountains or cliffs wreathed by clouds and mist". These paintings contain "material that was not used in the Avatar film but may be used in Avatar sequels". [2] Cameron also completes his first short film, Xenogenesis. Many themes that would later appear in Avatar existed in the film, including an early Fan Lizard, a glowing willow tree and bioluminescent moss.[2]

1979Edit

James Cameron made a painting of "A tall, thin woman with blue skin, who is wearing skin-tight purple pants", on a plain of "magenta grass". This would later influence the design of Neytiri, who does indeed wear such garb during the film. The plains also went on to become the basis for the area inhabited by the Horse Clan of the Plains.[2]

1980-81Edit

Cameron writes the script for Mother, a film where Humans have exhausted Earth's resources and hunt for a new planet, spearheaded by a mining corporation. They use "Xenomorphs", genetically engineered servants who can cope with the harsh atmosphere. The film would have even included an early version of the Thanator, under the name "Skraath".[2]

1983Edit

Cameron writes the script for Rambo: First Blood Part II, a film set in the jungles of Vietnam. The Russian "Hind D" heavy gunships in the film would go on to influence the design of the aircraft in Avatar.[2] Cameron also starts writing the script for Aliens around this time.

1985Edit
