Since Fred brought this article up in our last class and it pretty much deals directly with an aspect of my presentation I decided to blog about this article: http://www.wired.com/magazine/2009/11/ff_avatar_cameron/all/1
This is an absolutely awesome article about James Cameron and the future of 3-D. I highly recommend reading it, because it will give you all a very good understanding of the future of film technology as well as a great character sketch of one of the most influential directors of our time. I did not have much respect for James Cameron as a film auteur before reading this article and now I am enamoured with his wit and style. His innovational 3-D camera will change the groundwork for how we make movies and if Avatar is as big of a success as Cameron hopes it is, it could make 3-D more mainstream faster than I could have ever imagined.
In a final note, I also love the history behind James Cameron. It is a true rags to riches story, and he gets it, he knows he is lucky to be where he is and he is taking every opportunity he has to make the best of it. A true revolutionary, and filmic genius.
