Thomas has had a long, thriving career in music, composing for the Oscar-winning short "The ChubbChubbs” and many successful video game scores.

With "Avatar,” Thomas wanted to make sure his music shared a resonance with the score of the film.

"I met the film’s producer John Landau in Montreal at the very beginning of my contract,” Thomas said in an interview. "I expressed to him my strong feelings about the importance of aligning the aesthetic of the game score with that of the film. ... So I asked John if he would arrange a meeting between myself and the film’s composer James Horner (‘Titanic,’ ‘Braveheart,’ ‘Star Trek’).
