Summary
James Cameron has spent four decades pushing filmmaking technology forward, but at the core of his work is something deeply human. In this video, the Oscar-winning director of Terminator, Aliens, Titanic and the Avatar films (Avatar: Fire and Ash opens December 19) talks about why performance capture is the "purest form of cinema acting," why he refuses to use generative A.I. for scripts and actors' performances, and how safety and trust guide every set he runs. The man who dreamed up Skynet also explains what kind of A.I. boundaries the industry urgently needs to put in place. *The views expressed by guests are their own and do not necessarily reflect the views of their organization or SAG-AFTRA.
