Lonely Avatar

Imagine waking up inside a lab tank, with nothing but solitary darkness surrounding you & an Avatar floating within a second tank, across from yours, keeping you company. Has your conscience been transferred to an Avatar body? This shot was taken on 2017. While I was visiting Disney's Magical Kingdom & in line waiting to ride their "Avatar Flight of Passage" attraction. You come inside a familiar lab set, similar to the one in the movie itself. You find an Avatar character laying horizontally within a lab tank. I immediately wanted this piece to give a feeling, similar to being stuck inside somewhere dark & solitary. A feeling of confusion, not knowing what's going on or how you got there. Wondering what the other thing inside the second tank is or was. Desperately trying to figure out how you will get out or if the lab was abandoned with you still inside. To accomplish this, I decided to rotate the Avatar vertically, adjust exposure, color correct & introduce both a radial blur & bubbles video to the original shot.
