“I'd go down to the USC library and pull any thesis that graduate students had written about optical printing, or front screen projection, or dye transfers, anything that related to film technology. That way I could sit down and read it, and if they'd let me photocopy it, I would. If not, I'd make notes." Cameron stated.
When he saw the movie
“Star Wars” he dreamed of entering the movie industry. Because of hie enthusiasm in making films; he began writing a ten minute science fiction script with two friends, entitled Xenogenesis. After that, they’ve tried to make a film of their own by renting a camera, lenses, film sticks and studio and begin shooting. The rest is history.

"king of the world." Avatar has earned
$2.7 billion at the box office alone and has changed the way Hollywood makes films. In the near future almost every studio blockbuster will be released in 3-D.
