James Francis Cameron is a Canadian film director, film producer.
Cameron's Titanic and Avatar are the two highest-grossing films of all
time at $2.18 billion and $2.78 billion respectively. In total,
Cameron's directorial efforts have grossed approximately US$2 billion
in North America and US$6 billion worldwide.
Cameron grew up in Chippawa, Ontario with his brothers Mike and John David Cameron and attended Stamford Collegiate School in Niagara Falls; his family moved to Brea, California in 1971 when he was. Cameron enrolled at Fullerton College, a 2-year community college, in 1973 to study physics. He switched to English, then dropped out before the start of the fall 1974 semester.
His first film he created was called Xenogenesis 1978. He was the director,
writer, producer, and production designer for Xenogenesis. He then became
a production assistant on a film called Rock and Roll High School, uncredited
in 1979.
Once in Rome, Ovidio took over the editing when Cameron was stricken
with food poisoning. During his illness, he 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.
The Terminator was a box office hit, breaking expectations by Orion
Pictures executives that the film would be regarded as no more than
a sci-fi film, and only last a week in theaters. It was a low-budget
film which cost $6.5 million to make, cutting expenses in such ways
as recording the audio track in mono. However, The Terminator eventually
earned over $78 million worldwide.
Cameron expressed interest in the famous sinking of the ship RMS Titanic.
He decided to script and film his next project based on this event.
The picture revolved around a fictional romance story between two young
lovers from different social classes who meet on board. Before production
began, he took dives to the bottom of the Atlantic and shot actual footage
of the ship underwater, which he inserted into the final film. Much
of the film's dialogue was also written during these dives.
Titanic became the highest-grossing film of all time and in the United
States and Canada, and the first film to gross more than $1 billion
worldwide. It remained the highest-grossing film since 1998, until Cameron's
2009 film Avatar surpassed its gross in 2010.
Most recently, James Cameron served as the executive producer of Sanctum,
a $30,000,000 (estimated budget) film detailing the expedition of a
team of underwater cave divers who find themselves trapped in a cave,
their exit blocked and no known way to reach the surface either in person
or with radio contact. The film is based on co-writer and Cameron's
right-hand Andrew Wight death-or-life experience in Nullarbor Plain
caves in 1998.
Cameron's films have recurring themes and subtexts. These include the
conflicts between humanity and technology, the dangers of corporate
greed, strong female characters, and a strong romance subplot. In almost
all films, the main characters usually get into dramatic crisis situations
with significant threats to their own life or even the threat of an
impending apocalypse.
Cameron's directional style has provided great influence throughout
the film industry. Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Firefly creator Joss
Whedon stated that Cameron's approach to action scenes
was influential to those in The Avengers. He also cited Cameron as "the
leader and the teacher and the Yoda".[97] Michael Bay considers
Cameron an idol and was convinced by him to use 3D in Transformers:
Dark of the Moon.
