I saw the creators in a commercial clip, and they're super young, and seem pretty normal and goofy. I don't know why it surprised me that these young guys could come with such sophisticated and mature scripts.
What is hilarious is that they hired a martial artist to show the animators how to portray the real martial-arts insipired bending moves, and he decided to teach the entire team the moves, to get them to "feel" it.
Oh, and have you seen these, on YouTube? Airbending: http://youtube.com/watch?v=WQzArgAH_Mo&mode=related&search=
There's one on each of the four elements, the consultant talking about the individual martial art that inspired each of the bending techniques. (You can find the rest of the links on the little sidebar on the actual page.)
