That was just brilliant. It was really 30 minutes well spent. This guy knows how to direct a good action movie and he knows the technology that goes into creating his worlds inside out literally. Its great to see him talk about technical part of film making for once. I always wanted to know how he did the bio-illuminessence for Avatar. Now I know! :D
This is one of the most thorough and in-depth interviews given by a film maker that I have ever seen. Wish we could have more of them from other directors.
I'm not the biggest fan of Avatar. Great to watch but there are some big problems with the plot and screenplay. But my god, it's mindboggling to think about just how much work and intelligence went into creating something that looks so fucking good.
@Johnlindsey289 Well, i simply couldn't imagine him not being a fan of LOTR, as they are truly brilliant fantasy films. I'm sure he is a fan of Peter Jackson's other films as well.
James Cameron is a fan of LOTR? awesome, he is a movie lover. I love how Avatar was a nice mix of Man named Horse, Frank Herbert's Dune, Star Wars, John Carter of Mars, Nausicaa and Heavy Metal magazine. Cameron wrote the film in 1993 and had to wait until 2005 for the technology.
Say what you want about Avatar as a piece of fiction, but James Cameron innovated technologically to no end to make that picture. He deserves credit for that, if only that, even from those who thought Avatar's narrative was childish and predictable.
there ill be a long time till holiwood wil have an james cameron , or an ridsley scott or an oliver stone, or an scorsese or an spilberg or an kevin costner or an michael mann or an eastwood......!!!!!!! thouse people have pased in to legend.....! i can belive the work wath they did in the 90s and the shety work that there doiung now........!!!!!!!!there are all gone!!! holiwood id gone withe wind.......
@Colt2571 The real problem is the studios. Look up alien three. It had david fincher who did fight club and many other great movies but they kept cutting out the ideas and trying to make alien 2. Check out the behind the scenes.
They've had suggested sex scenes in film since the dawn of the motion picture. Even Casablanca suggests Rick and Ilsa made love despite the fact that she's married.
@LukeLovesRose I know it is done a lot, and it cheapens te emotional meaning of love, and traits it in for physical joy, which has northing to do with love!!!
Your opinion. But, what I saw in Titanic and Avatar is the suggestion that our leading characters were making love. It was beautiful to see them commemorate their love for each other in those moments IMO.
Are you making a movie soon? I enjoy your videos a lot. Great work. If you see me driving around LA wearing my spaceman costume driving your Add car, selling my movies, know I'm keeping busy, until I get the chance to audition for you and others. If you would like to see my work google my name DENNIS WOODRUFF. Telephone number for auditions 323 848 7164, and 323 309 1282. I'm ready to work when the phone rings!
Why would ilm and weta not go with the head rig idea. It makes so much more sense than painting dots on the face. Like cameron said, you can't put dots on the eyes, so they have to make that up.
I can't wait to sit home when day and watch the Avatar special spececial edition with full commentaries and behind the scenes. They need to make a documentry like what they did with the abyss, "Under pressure."
Cameron is a genius, but this lady acts like she knows everything and then when the interview is over she treats him rudely. Why don't you guys have real technical geeks interview him who can appreciate what he is saying?
all of James Cameron's film are beast.. he's only made a few films but just look at the list : Terminator 1 and 2, Aliens, The Abyss, True Lies, Titanic, and Avatar
@LukeLovesRose thats dumbest fucking thing ive ever read. star wars was made with a shoe string budget of $11 mil, avatar needed $300 mil plus marketing dollars to be possible. go to bed kid.
@LukeLovesRose Did Lucas get lucky multiple times, he had all 6 SW films, American Graffitie, Indiana Jones etc. Also Cameron`s film, like Titanic or Termiator don`t come close!!!!!!!
Um, when you get lucky with one film, SW, you're next installment to that franchise is gonna be highly anticipated. It just so happens, Lucas didn't direct the next three SW films so much as produce them. He did some work, yes. But, you can feel the competence of the directors for Return and Empire. Lucas demonstrated nothing but incompetence in the prequels.
That of course didn't stop a bunch of brainwashed SW geeks from checking those horrid films out. Boy, we were naive.
@LukeLovesRose Yes but the quality of the sequel, isn`t decided by it`s anticpation, Lucas excercised a loy of control over both zequels, and he did direct the original, plus the prequels are awesome, also was indiana jones luck??/??/
Look how smart, clever and confident this master filmmaker is. It's all coming out of him so casually. It's like he lives, breathes, smokes, eats and drinks film. And, yet, he's been exploring the sea for the last 12 years. It's like Cameron has come back to his root... what makes him James Cameron.
I also get the impression that no one else in the business knows so much about the filmmaking process.
Thank you so much for this interview!!! it is just natural! JC is so inspirational... I am a Film and TV student... I totaly appreciate and love Cameron's work... Everything the best James!!!!
Honestly, I think everyone in Hollywood right now is jealous of James Cameron, his talent, his abilities and of course, his fame and fortune. If it wasn't for all of these factors, if he was just some novice who just got lucky with Titanic and Avatar, I bet ANYTHING there wouldn't be such a high degree of hatred toward those movies.
@LukeLovesRose Well there isn't anywhere nearly as much hatred out there for Titanic and Avatar as you may think there is.The greater majority of people who've seen them dearly love them both and have an enormous amount of respect and admiration for James Cameron as a filmmaker. It's really just the snotty, hateful, spoiled brats out there who are angry and frustrated over the fact that most everyone likes those two films so much that feel the need to bash the films and the fans so incessantly.
someone who has the chance to interview such an absolutely amazing man needs to be a bit more professional. Quit interrupting the man, quit moving the camera while he talks, and fix the mic on him, not your rustling. Gee
@LukeLovesRose I love what cameron says in the interview and always do. he did nothing wrong. i'm am, however, slamming the interviewer for poor video skills. I'm a video student and i'm still learning myself but I know to set the tripod before the interview, set a mic, and hush when he's talking. those simple three aspects make a huge difference for a start
This is the interview I had been waiting for about this movie. Finally Jim speaks in depth about the technical development of the project. I loved it; great information.
Great to hear him speak, and hear his ideas. Unfortunately this interviewer needs some practice, nobody is watching to hear you speak... Let James Cameron talk you moron!
James Cameron a genius. He invented the idea for Avatar in the 80's but didn't want to make in back then because of the lack of technology. So He waited almost 30 years to film it so he could make it perfect. This kind of perfectionism is what film industry needs!
He wrote Avatar in 1993 and was inspired by 1950's Broken Arrow (Jimmy Stewart western), Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind, Star Wars Trilogy, Call Me Joe Story, John Carter of Mars and Frank Herbert's Dune books as stated by him as he is a fan of those things including The Dark Crystal which he is a fan of. He wanted a 1999 release but put it on hold until 2006 as he was convinced and started filming.
It's cause i've been following the Avatar project since 1999 when i heard in 98 he would do the film after being blown by Titanic and read he had to wait until 2006 for the technology which is a good idea when it would have been impossible to do his idea justice.
This is in fact the best (tech-background) interview i have seen ever! I have seen Avatar 3 times in 3D myself, as a photographer i just love the compositions he uses in the movie. One of the best Directors in the world proves staying down to earth and normal does the job.
A great frontruner but have you heard about the rumor that a woman actually called Sophia Stewart wrote a story called The Third Eye, and she claims that Camerons Terminator film is a ripp of from that story, she also claims that it is the sama case for The Matrix.
I hope that this is not the case since i realy like Camerons films
A wonderful, wonderful interview, which makes me all the more appreciative of the effort to produce Avatar. Thank you for taking the time to make this interview.
Wow..Passion, determination and knowledge are the key to achieve what he has....simply amazing...the kinda knowledge he has about camera, light etc is outstanding...
Camermoron, is a complete jack ass... if he cared about people he'd sale his $100 million home and help the poor or perhaps cut back on his $10,000 bottles of champagne and use the money to a half million people whom are starving to death. this just shows the arogance of the hollywood hipocrits. I am currently organizing a boycott of this jackass' movies.
So he works hard and gets successful, and you hate him because he doesn't donate to people who don't work hard and don't get successful? Come on, shut up with this bullshit.
man its very interesting to hear him talk, but its rude from the interviewer to interrupt him all the time! let the genius talk who made terminator and avatar!
James Cameron's work is highly the most inspirational reason why I became a film maker. There is not a film fan in the world who isn't scratching their heads over how he made Avatar. This video dives in straight to the heart of how it was all successfully accomplished...this man's creativity and unmatchable imagination.
People who actually make films know there is no button on the keypad to a computer that says, "make cool" If you knew anything about visual effects and CGI, etc. you would understand it is an unimaginable amount of hard work, and to be able to endure that hard of work to achieve what is the best CGI of all time, being difficult to understand, people are therefor SCRATCHING THEIR HEADS.
James Cameron is such an inspirational figure. This interview alone has motivated me to do better in school and not spend the rest of my life smoking weed and doing nothing. If I can achieve just a fraction of what JC has achieved then I would have lived a pretty damn good life.
@gibbi8 Hey listen, most of todays legendary filmmakers dropped out, smoked weed and made the biggest movies ever in history: 1. The Godfather trilogy 2. The Star Wars saga 3. Jaws 4. TERMINATOR 1&2 5. TITANIC 6. AVATAR 7. Taxi Driver etc.. Check out L. Alan Brooks. A filmmaker in the making. I love Cameron. He's awesome at everything he touches and love it or hate it, he has bragging rights. He never had one flop. NOT ONE!
read james cameron's rolling stone interview. he talks about how much he enjoyed smoking weed and dropping acid (especially acid) through college. Just don't be an idiot while your smoking and sit on your couch. go do somethin!
This man makes 2 movies within a span of a decade, more or less.....and they both become the top 2 films of all time!....Cameron is set for all eternity lol. That is one scary man.
This is left + right brain in action, he's talking biology, technology, economics, art, photography, visual effect, acting, producing, directing...WOW!
yum yum real time mocap very expensive today ^^ !!!
but maybe with some technologie from Total immersion or project natal from microsoft, we can play video game in real time with motion capture and realtime camera tracking with 3d glasses ^^ without controlers ^^
It will be,he has state-ted in many interviews that *The Door has just bin opened with what is possible with this technology. I cant wait for Battle Angel: Alita! its gonna be gooooood. ;)
@navylaks2 Well mate, you can deffently be sure of that he wont do with anything less. He is a very demanding Director, who knows what he want's, and i guess that is why all his films are so epic more or the less :D He will not fail, or atleast he has never disapointet me :D
I LOVE this interview. I don't know much about the technology involved in CGI and such, and it was very interesting and informative to listen to the master himself. A movie to experience. Strong performances, beautiful visuals. Zoe I think was the best actor there, yet everyone else did an excellent job as well.
I think thats his house..hmmm...its very nice either-way. I watched this movie now about 8 times...and i'm going to the 9th hahaha..I'm addicted, i love his movies! James Cam is da man!
It looks more like a hotel room. Which makes sense since hotel rooms are good places for interviews due to seclusion, privacy, quietness, and convenience for both the interviewee and interviewer.
What a brilliant mind behind such an awesome movie. This movie deserves the title of 2nd All time gross Worldwide...In my mind it should have passed Titanic for #1 =)
That was just brilliant. It was really 30 minutes well spent. This guy knows how to direct a good action movie and he knows the technology that goes into creating his worlds inside out literally. Its great to see him talk about technical part of film making for once. I always wanted to know how he did the bio-illuminessence for Avatar. Now I know! :D

James Cameron el director de Avatar tiene 9 nominaciones al Oscar, pero en un principio su familia no estaba el todo de acuerdo con su profesión.

James Cameron's work is highly the most inspirational reason why I became a film maker. There is not a film fan in the world who isn't scratching their heads over how he made Avatar. This video dives in straight to the heart of how it was all successfully accomplished...this man's creativity and unmatchable imagination.

Nobody is "scratching their heads", it's CG.
saintkamus14 1 year ago
People who actually make films know there is no button on the keypad to a computer that says, "make cool" If you knew anything about visual effects and CGI, etc. you would understand it is an unimaginable amount of hard work, and to be able to endure that hard of work to achieve what is the best CGI of all time, being difficult to understand, people are therefor SCRATCHING THEIR HEADS.
bvangeem26 1 year ago 6
@bvangeem26 You're talking about the CG as if it's a mistery, it's not.
People are very used to it by now, sure it's ahead of it's time in 2010, by 2015 it will seem like your average holwyood movie.

@saintkamus14 No people will look back at Avatar as a milestorne in Cg and digital photography!

I consider myself very well versed in modern CG techniques and i'm still in awe of what Cameron has done with each of his new projects.
We know it's CG, but it's CG from the formost pioneer of digital movie technology, so quit bringing it down or post your own stuff for critique.

James Cameron is such an inspirational figure. This interview alone has motivated me to do better in school and not spend the rest of my life smoking weed and doing nothing. If I can achieve just a fraction of what JC has achieved then I would have lived a pretty damn good life.

@gibbi8 Hey listen, most of todays legendary filmmakers dropped out, smoked weed and made the biggest movies ever in history: 1. The Godfather trilogy 2. The Star Wars saga 3. Jaws 4. TERMINATOR 1&2 5. TITANIC 6. AVATAR 7. Taxi Driver etc.. Check out L. Alan Brooks. A filmmaker in the making. I love Cameron. He's awesome at everything he touches and love it or hate it, he has bragging rights. He never had one flop. NOT ONE!

read james cameron's rolling stone interview. he talks about how much he enjoyed smoking weed and dropping acid (especially acid) through college. Just don't be an idiot while your smoking and sit on your couch. go do somethin!

@navylaks2 Well mate, you can deffently be sure of that he wont do with anything less. He is a very demanding Director, who knows what he want's, and i guess that is why all his films are so epic more or the less :D He will not fail, or atleast he has never disapointet me :D
kubel83 2 years ago
I LOVE this interview. I don't know much about the technology involved in CGI and such, and it was very interesting and informative to listen to the master himself. A movie to experience. Strong performances, beautiful visuals. Zoe I think was the best actor there, yet everyone else did an excellent job as well.
A classical story easy to enjoy and love.

Could it be an idear to use CT scanning to better understand the anatomi of the face and thereby shortening the rigging process.

Christ, James sounds more like lead technical director on a video game than a movie director.
Maybe he should just open his own game studio and get it over with.

It looks more like a hotel room. Which makes sense since hotel rooms are good places for interviews due to seclusion, privacy, quietness, and convenience for both the interviewee and interviewer.
