The recent embracing of digital 3D film is mostly due to the travail of an unexpected figure : James Cameron . Cameron both helped create the advanced 3D photographic camera and masterminded the spread of 3D , all so Avatar could bluster your psyche .
Avatar dates back to 1977 , when Cameron was just a truck gadget driver determined to “ out - Lucas George Lucas ” in the out distance epic genre , but it took 10 to get the clout to make as outrageous a task as Avatar . When he first sat down to plan the pic , his tech people told him his sight simply was not possible—”‘If we make this , we ’re condemn , ’ one of the artists told him . ‘ It ca n’t be done . The engineering does n’t exist . ' ” He had to wait until after Titanic before he could harness the projection again .
This sentence , he got more invest in the tech side of it . The problem : He needed an incredibly high - definition photographic camera that could deliver both 2D and 3D , without the headache that sometimes companion two hour of 3D watching . There was a camera that could wield it , made by Sony , but the giant 450 - pound building block was n’t feasible for Cameron ’s style of address — so in 2000 , he went out to Japan and persuaded Sony to re - organise the tv camera to his liking . They end up separating the tv camera ’s vast CPU unit of measurement from its lens , connected by a cable , thus bringing the handheld weightiness down to only 50 pounds .
Cameron lent the television camera to filmmaker brother to diffuse the religious doctrine of 3D so his eventual release of Avatar would have the statistical distribution it needed . Spy Kids 3 - ergocalciferol and the Lord of the Rings trilogy launch the doors for technologically astounding epic films , just what Cameron orchestrated . His photographic camera and belief in 3-D is setting the stage for the current era of blockbuster — not necessarily something you ’d expect from a guy who releases a picture about once every 15 years .
