One of the Fantastic TED speech: JAMES CAMERON
1:30 PMUnknown
This will surely want u to take a pen and a letter pad that makes you jot down all your imaginations, thoughts, views, ideas and personal experiences in coming up with a Script for your Film.
Why you should listen
James Cameron has written and directed some of the largest blockbuster movies of the last 20 years, including The Terminator, Aliens, The Abyss, Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Titanic, and Avatar. His films pushed the limits of special effects, and his fascination with technical developments led him to co-create the 3-D Fusion Camera System. He has also contributed to new techniques in underwater filming and remote vehicle technology.
Although now a major filmmaker, Cameron's first job was as a truck driver and he wrote only in his spare time. After seeing Star Wars, he quit that job and wrote his first science fiction script for a ten-minute short called Xenogenesis. Soon after, he began working with special effects, and by 1984 he had written and directed the movie that would change his life -- The Terminator. Today, he has received three Academy Awards, two honorary doctorates and sits on the NASA Advisory Council.
Who: Does Cameron need an introduction?
What: A very open and personal talk from one of the most pioneering directors currently active today, Cameron naturally has a lot to offer on the topic of filmmaking as a vehicle for exploration and how curiosity can lead to great storytelling.
Why: Even if you’re not a fan of James Cameron, you will be by the end of his 17 minute TED talk on filmmaking.
