Brought to my attention by Avatar crew member David Stripinis, this is a great 27 minute interview with director James Cameron, where he discusses many things, chiefly, in my memory at least, developing the camera technology used in the film and the years of R&D that went into producing both Avatar and his future film Battle Angel.

I can’t quite wrap my head around the fact that this Avatar clip is 100% CG.

David Stripinis on Waiting for Technology (from Twitter):

  • Filmbot: must totally agree with Stu from recent Redcentre why am I worrying about cameras a year away when i can shoot with what I have now.
  • davidstripinis: @Filmbot exactly. It's like deciding to make a film about a single mom, but waiting till Dakota Fannning is old enough for the part.
