movies are made from the heart and not by the computers: james cameron

avatar director james cameron said this on his visit to india. he shared moments with the film enthusiasts. read what he said about making of avatar
"we spent $250 million and three years before we saw one shot that proved that what we set in motion was going to work! the shot was the closeup of neytri looking at jake, everybody thinks she is going to shoot him with her bow, but she decides not to. you can see that decision play out in her eyes, she was alive, she looked real...we saw the scene and realised this was going to work. but we had to do it with 2600 other shots. we managed all this in 18 months..out biggest problem was marketing because we didn't have a tom cruise or a brad pitt nor was  it part of a franchise like spiderman.
3D is not the success of avatar, i believe avatar works because of it's storym, it's characters and actors who touched the hearts of people.."

how they became great

hey friends, you always worshiped them but never knew about some little things about them. so here are some interesting facts about their early life, know how they started?

James Cameron : 
After dropping out, james cameron worked several jobs such as truck driving and wrote when he had time.After seeing the original Star Wars film in 1977, Cameron quit his job as a truck driver to enter the film industry.When Cameron read Syd Field's book Screenplay, it occurred to him that integrating science and art were possible and he wrote a ten minute science fiction script with two friends, entitled Xenogenesis. They raised money and rented a camera, lenses, the film stocks, studio and shot it in 35 mm. To understand how to operate the camera, they dismantled it and spent the first half-day of the shoot trying to figure out how to get it running.



Kathryn bigelow : 

Bigelow's first short film, The Set-Up (1978), is a 20-minute deconstruction of violence in film. The film portrays "two men (including Gary Busey) fighting each other as the semioticians Sylvère Lotringer and Marshall Blonsky deconstruct the images in voice-over.



 

Steven speiberg :

Throughout his early teens, Spielberg made amateur 8 mm "adventure" films with his friends, the first of which he shot at the Pinnacle Peak Patio restaurant in Scottsdale.

In 1958, he became a Boy Scout and fulfilled a requirement for the photography merit badge by making a nine-minute 8 mm film entitled The Last Gunfight. Spielberg recalled years later to a magazine interviewer, "My dad's still-camera was broken, so I asked the scoutmaster if I could tell a story with my father's movie camera. He said yes, and I got an idea to do a Western. I made it and got my merit badge. That was how it all started." At age 13, Spielberg won a prize for a 40-minute war film he titled, Escape to Nowhere. In 1963, at age 16, Spielberg wrote and directed his first independent film, a 140-minute science fiction adventure called Firelight (which would later inspire Close Encounters). The film, which had a budget of US$500.
