Welcome to the new term. I am very exited about new academic semester. I hope it will be time intensive study and practice.
James Cameron
I would like to start this term by introducing one of the artist I admire. It is film director James Cameron whose new film premiered at the end of 2022. The title of the movie is Avatar: The way of Water. This director is one of my favourites. I've always admired the special effects he creates. They are very realistic. This director uses both practical and computer effects.
James Cameron was born in Canada. His family moved to America when he was a child. It was there that Cameron began to become more closely involved with cinema.
Stanley Kubrick's 2001:A Space Odyssey' made a special impression on him and he watched this movie soo many times . Inspired by this picture, he made his first film and began experimenting with special effects. He enrolled in college but soon dropped out, got married and started working as a truck driver. But the job wasn't right for him. He loved working as a film director so much that he decided to try his hand again. He was strongly inspired to return by George Lucas' Star Wars film. He returned to his models and renewed his work on perfecting special effects techniques. This activity drew the attention of people at New World Pictures, who decided to entrust him with directing the film "Piranha II". However, the film was not a great success. Only some time later he created the movie "Terminator", which turned out to be a great success. Since that film, Cameron has been regarded as one of Hollywood's highest-grossing filmmakers. His next 4 films "Terminator 2", "True Lies" and "Titanic" and "Avatar" turned out to be hits of all time. It is also one of the most expensive films in the history of cinema. (Filmweb.pl)
Cameron also has a lot of credit in the field of special effects. He developed or improved many of them himself. In 1993, he founded Digital Domain, a company that specializes in this.( Filmweb.pl)
I'm going to see the new Avatar in the cinema soon. I'm very excited about what James Cameron has come up with.
