The James Cameron task


1)  James was a science geek.
I think he was  not a popular boy at school.

2) He love of science fiction actually seemed mirrored in the world around he, because what was happening , this was in the late 60s  he was going to the moon, he was exploring the deep oceans.

3)He  like drawing alien creatures, alien words, robots ,spaceships. He like to create image in his head  and transfer this picture on paper.  
He like diving and learn deep of ocean environment.
In my life studying is important activity.

 4)I have not seen «The Abyss» and «Terminator 2» . Cameron introduced there computer generated animation. There are a bit boring special effects.

5)About making  «Avatar»:  «This is going to be a whole new world » this was a whole new world of creativity for film artists. So ,I started a company with Stan Winston ,my good friend Stan Winston, who is the premier make-up and creature designer  at that time ,and it was called Digital Domain . And the concept of the company was that we would leapfrog past the analog processes of optical printers and so on, and we would go right to digital production. And we actually did that and it gave us a competitive advantage for a while. But we found ourselves lagging in the mid 90s in the creature and character design stuff that we had actually founded the company to do. So, I wrote this piece called «Avatar»  which was meant to absolutely push the envelope of visual effects, of CG effects, beyond,  with realistic human emotive characters generated in CG,  and the main characters would all be in CG, and the world would be in CG.»
About making «Titanic»: «I made this other movie about a big ships that’s sinks. You know , I went and pitched it to the studio as «Romeo and Juliet » on a ship : «It’s going to be this epic romance, passionate film .» Secretly, what I wanted to do was I wanted to dive to the real wreck of «Titanic.» And that’s why I made the movie. And that’s the truth. Now ,the studio didn’t know that. But I convinced them. I said, «We are going to dive to the wreck. We’re going to film it for real
James like more to imagine.

He was known for his urban genre painting and ability to capture the essence of neighborhood life in New York City, often through his window. I chose this picture because of atmosphere.

 Консервная банка с долгим сроком годности 

В конце 40ых 20го века Германия помогала Соединенным Штатам преодолеть трудности Второй Мировой .Пайки с едой были жизненно необходимой частью попытки восстановиться ,но простой жир Свифта был не очень вкусным продуктом. Но это продукт с долгим сроком хранения.Консервная банка с красно-бело-голубой этикеткой сохранилась до наших дней в буфете Ганса Фельдмайера. Восьмидесятилетний химик на пенсии решил проверить съедобность этого жира.
(Цитата Ганса Фельдмайера с дубляжом на английском )"Я не открыл ее потому что  подумал что ситуация может стать хуже.Я надеюсь ,что мы никогда не вернемся в те тяжелые времена какие были после Второй Мировой Войны ,несмотря на финансовый кризис с которым мы столкнулись."
Эксперимент прошел с успехом .Ученые провели исследования в его родном городе ,в Ростоке, которые показали что жир был пригоден для еды , сохранили мистеру Фельдмайеру несколько драгоценных евро.Однако он потратился на буханку черного хлеба на которую Ганс
и ученые намазали этот жир и съели.Каково же это было на вкус?
(Цитата служащей Управления Сельского хозяйства,Пищевой Безопасности и Рыболовства с дубляжом на английском) "Я думала это будет тошнотворно,но это было не так. Я была совершенно удивлена ,что вкус не был отвратителный".Консервная банка показала отсутствие срока годности, но как говорили раньше :Если не попробуешь ,то не узнаешь на вкус.
