Academy Awards for Best Picture, Best Director and Best Film Editing. After Titanic, Cameron began a project that took almost 1. Avatar (2. 00. 9), which was in particular a landmark for 3. D technology, and for which he received nominations for the same three Academy Awards. Despite Avatar being his only movie made to date in 3. D, Cameron is the most successful 3.

If not, I'd make notes. They raised money, rented camera, lenses, film stock and studio then shot it in 3. They dismantled the camera to understand how to operate it and spent the first half- day of the shoot trying to figure out how to get it running.
Early career. He was the director, writer, producer, and production designer for Xenogenesis (1. He then became an uncredited production assistant on Rock and Roll High School in 1. While continuing to educate himself in filmmaking techniques, Cameron started working as a miniature model maker at Roger Corman Studios.
He soon found employment as an art director in the sci- fi movie Battle Beyond the Stars (1. He did special effects work design and direction on John Carpenter's Escape from New York (1. Galaxy of Terror (1.
Android (1. 98. 2). The original director, Miller Drake, left the project due to creative differences with producer Ovidio Assonitis, who then gave Cameron his first job as director. The interior scenes were filmed in Rome, Italy, while the underwater sequences were shot at Grand Cayman Island. On location, production slowed due to numerous problems and adverse weather.
James Cameron was fired after failing to get a close up of Carole Davis in her opening scene. Ovidio ordered Cameron to do the close- up the next day before he started on that day's shooting. Cameron spent the entire day sailing around the resort, reproducing the lighting but still failed to get the close- up. After he was fired, Ovidio invited Cameron to stay on location and assist in the shooting. Once in Rome, Ovidio took over the editing when Cameron was stricken with food poisoning. During his illness, Cameron had a nightmare about an invincible robot hitman sent from the future to kill him, giving him the idea for The Terminator, which later catapulted his film career.
However, the production companies he contacted, while expressing interest in the project, were unwilling to let a largely inexperienced feature film director make the movie. Finally, Cameron found a company called Hemdale Pictures, which was willing to let him direct. Gale Anne Hurd, who had started her own production company, Pacific Western Productions, had previously worked with Cameron in Roger Corman's company and agreed to buy Cameron's screenplay for one dollar, on the condition that Cameron direct the film. Hurd was signed on as a producer, and Cameron finally got his first break as director.
Orion Pictures distributed the film. Lance Henriksen, who had starred in Piranha II: The Spawning, was considered for the title role, but when Arnold Schwarzenegger and Cameron first met over lunch to discuss Schwarzenegger's playing the role of Kyle Reese, both came to the conclusion that the cyborg villain would be the more compelling role for the Austrian bodybuilder; Henriksen got the smaller part of LAPD detective Hal Vukovich and the role of Kyle Reese went to Michael Biehn.
In addition, Linda Hamilton first appeared in this film in her iconic role of Sarah Connor, and later married Cameron. It was a low- budget film which cost $6. However, The Terminator eventually earned over $7. While Cameron continued with The Terminator and Aliens, Sylvester Stallone eventually took over the script of Rambo: First Blood Part II, creating a final draft which differed radically from Cameron's initial vision.
Cameron named the sequel Aliens and again cast Sigourney Weaver in the iconic role of Ellen Ripley. According to Cameron, the crew on Aliens was hostile to him, regarding him as a poor substitute for Ridley Scott. Cameron sought to show them The Terminator but the majority of the crew refused to watch it and remained skeptical of his direction throughout production. Despite this and other off- screen problems (such as clashing with an uncooperative camera man and having to replace one of the lead actors when Michael Biehn of Terminator took James Remar's place as Corporal Hicks), Aliens became a box- office success. It received Academy Award nominations for Best Actress in a Leading Role for Weaver, Best Art Direction, Best Film Editing, Best Original Score, Best Sound, and won awards for Best Sound Effects Editing and Best Visual Effects. In addition, the film and its lead actress made the cover of TIME magazine as a result of numerous and extensive scenes of women in combat; these were almost without precedent and expressed the feminist theme of the film very strongly. The Abyss (1. 98.
Cameron's next project stemmed from an idea that had come up during a high school biology class. The story of oil- rig workers who discover otherworldly underwater creatures became the basis of Cameron's screenplay for The Abyss, which cast Ed Harris, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio and Michael Biehn. Initially budgeted at $4. United States (though the production ran considerably over budget), it was considered to be one of the most expensive films of its time and required cutting- edge effects technology. Because much of the filming took place underwater and the technology wasn't advanced enough to digitally create an underwater environment, Cameron chose to shoot much of the movie .
For creation of the sets, the containment building of an unfinished nuclear power plant was converted, and two huge tanks were used. The cast and crew resided there for much of the filming.
Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1. After the success of The Terminator, there had been talking about a sequel to continue the story of Sarah Connor and her struggle against machines from the future. Although Cameron had come up with a core idea for the sequel, and Schwarzenegger expressed interest in continuing the story, there were still problems regarding who had the rights to the story, as well as the logistics of the special effects needed to make the sequel. Finally, in the late- 1. Mario Kassar of Carolco Pictures secured the rights to the sequel, allowing Cameron to greenlight production of the film, now called Terminator 2: Judgment Day. For the film, Linda Hamilton reprised her iconic role of Sarah Connor. Unlike Schwarzenegger's character—the T- 8.
