Aamir Khan & James Cameron at the India Today Conclave 2010
JAMES CAMERON, PRODUCER, DIRECTOR, SCREEN WRITER, EDITOR & INVENTOR
"Looking at the image was like looking into a window, into reality," producer-director-inventor James Cameron said to a rapt audience at the breathtaking finale to the ninth India Today Conclave recounting his first experience peering into a 3D camera.
There is no doubt the breakthrough $ 1 billion-plus grossing Avatar has changed the way films will be made. And here, for the first time in India, was the inventor-director himself speaking on the future of cinema. Cameron took the audience down memory lane especially the decade-long wait to make Avatar and for technology to catch up with his vision of a futuristic script.
He invented a helmet with a boom and a high definition camera which shot the actor's faces and shrunk refrigerator-sized 3D cameras to ones that looked like the size of an average TV camera. The results were for all to see in the film which opened last December. "After years of looking at films on laptops and iPhones, people want to go back to the cinema, sharing vibe with an audience. They want that experience again," said Cameron, who predicted a wave of 3D films and home entertainment devices though he could not predict what would happen.
"Avatar is the highest grossing film in history and the most pirated film. It is true. But the piracy hasn't hurt the BO gross," he said. Cameron struck a cautionary note. "3D is not the main reason for the success of Avatar. Avatar works because its story works, performance by really, really talented actors who have touched the hearts of people around the world." It was good old-fashioned storytelling, good old-fashioned acting. Clearly, some things will simply not go out of fashion in the future of cinema.
"I only know what I like, I can never predict what an audience will like," said Aamir Khan, arguably the most successful actor in the country today who has an uncanny knack for picking the right scripts.
"Technology is not the most important thing. It's the story, it's the heart that is the character of the film," Cameron said, concluding with a line in Na'avi-"May the Great Mother smile on us all."

Суперзвезда Болливуда Аамир Кхан в первой срочке списка пожеланий режиссера "Аватара" Джеймса Кэмерона, который сильно желает снять актера в одном из своих фильмов.
Режиссер двух самых кассовых в истории кино фильмов "Титаника" и "Аватара" Кэмерон принял участие в India Today Conclave 2010 в Нью-Дели вместе с актером, известным как г. Перфекционист, и сказал, что он удостоился чести быть там.
"Для меня большая честь – быть на сцене с Аамиром Кханом. Он находится на вершине своей игры, завтра его День Рождения, и он принять участие в конференции вместе со мной, таким образом, что большая честь для меня", - сказал 55-летний режиссер.
Говоря о пересечении западной киноиндустрии с Боливудом, Аамир сказал, что он еще не был частью Голливудского фильма, на что Кэмерон быстро ответил: "Мы могли исправить это как можно скорее".
Аамир также выразил его восхищение режиссером "Терминатора", сказав, что он приехал, чтобы послушать его и научиться у него в максимально возможной степени.
У режиссера и актера есть много общего, включая тот факт, что принадлежат рекорды самых кассовых фильмов.
