00:02 I feel we managed to achieve one of our main ambitions,

00:15 to engage the players so much that they will eventually

00:18 forget they are playing a game.

00:19 When I watched Avatar for the first time, what really

00:28 impressed me was that it was more than a movie.

00:31 It was an experience.

00:33 Music plays such an important role in making

00:35 that experience so unique.

00:38 When we started the work on the game,

00:39 we knew early on that we wanted to stay true to the Avatar music

00:43 identity.

00:44 We knew that we had to build a strong music team

00:52 from the get-go, and that's how we

00:54 embodied Simon Lambri, our music supervisor at Ubisoft.

00:58 One of the biggest impact of music in this game

01:01 is that it reinforces our connection to Pandora,

01:03 and it really makes the storytelling more powerful.

01:06 Right now, we're recording with the Royal National Scottish

01:11 Orchestra.

01:12 We're adding some real orchestral energy to the score.

01:16 This is where we unlock the vibrant cinematic quality

01:19 of our soundtrack.

01:25,

01:52 When a new game is introduced to me,

01:54 I like to get back to the dev team with four or five

01:57 composer suggestions.

01:59 I knew immediately that I had the perfect candidate.

02:02 My goal was really to create a score that

02:05 will resonate with people's hearts and minds,

02:07 and it will stay with them.

02:09 It's such a stunningly told, beautiful story.

02:13 I wanted to make sure the audience is engaged in that,

02:16 that music has a part in that storytelling.

02:20 Your father thinks the price of fighting them

02:22 has been too great.

02:23 Will be too great.

02:24 If we do not fight, we will lose everything.

02:31 We did not want war, but they have made us warriors.

02:36 We must bring the fight to them.

02:42 My process was first coming up with themes,

02:49 because we wanted to make sure that we

02:51 have the right themes in the right place,

02:53 and everybody was happy with what we were going to do,

02:56 because that was the building block of everything.

02:59 We really wanted to make sure that the different areas

03:01 had different feel.

03:02 You must give the warrior time to adjust.

03:05 Breathe our air, feel our earth beneath their feet.

03:09 Meet the Zaku.

03:09 Every clan and every regions have their own music

03:20 instrumentation, color palette, and their own musical themes.

03:23 One thing we really wanted to do was

03:43 to make sure that we take you through that journey

03:46 of becoming a N'Zaku.

03:48 As you understand better what being a Na'vi means,

03:51 the music shifts a bit in the game,

03:53 and it all sounds more organic with ethnic flutes,

03:56 solo vocals, percussions, strings, and of course,

04:00 folk choirs that are an essential element

04:03 in the Avatar soundscape.

04:18 The music of Avatar Frontiers of Pandora is truly unique.

04:22 We have succeeded in blurring the frontiers between video

04:25 game and the cinematic experience,

04:28 and I think it will connect with the fans' expectation.
