　　Igrewuponasteadydietofsciencefiction.Inhighschool,Itookabustoschoolanhoureachwayeveryday.AndIwasalwaysabsorbedinabook,sciencefictionbook,whichtookmymindtootherworlds,andsatisfied,inanarrativeform,thisinsatiablesenseofcuriositythatIhad.

　　Andyouknow,thatcuriosityalsomanifesteditselfinthefactthatwheneverIwasn’tinschoolIwasoutinthewoods,hikingandtaking“samples”--frogsandsnakesandbugsandpondwater--andbringingitback,lookingatitunderthemicroscope.Youknow,Iwasarealsciencegeek.Butitwasallabouttryingtounderstandtheworld,understandthelimitsofpossibility.

　　Andmyloveofsciencefictionactuallyseemedmirroredintheworldaroundme,becausewhatwashappening,thiswasinthelate‘60s,weweregoingtothemoon,wewereexploringthedeepoceans.JacquesCousteauwascomingintoourlivingroomswithhisamazingspecialsthatshowedusanimalsandplacesandawondrousworldthatwecouldneverreallyhavepreviouslyimagined.So,thatseemedtoresonatewiththewholesciencefictionpartofit.

　　AndIwasanartist.Icoulddraw.Icouldpaint.AndIfoundthatbecausethereweren’tvideogamesandthissaturationofCGmoviesandallofthisimageryinthemedialandscape,Ihadtocreatetheseimagesinmyhead.Youknow,wealldid,askidshavingtoreadabook,andthroughtheauthor’sdescription,putsomethingonthemoviescreeninourheads.Andso,myresponsetothiswastopaint,todrawaliencreatures,alienworlds,robots,spaceships,allthatstuff.Iwasendlesslygettingbustedinmathclassdoodlingbehindthetextbook.Thatwas--thecreativityhadtofinditsoutletsomehow.

　　Andaninterestingthinghappened:

TheJacquesCousteaushowsactuallygotmeveryexcitedaboutthefactthattherewasanalienworldrighthereonEarth.Imightnotreallygotoanalienworldonaspaceshipsomeday--thatseemedprettydarnunlikely.ButthatwasaworldIcouldreallygoto,righthereonEarth,thatwasasrichandexoticasanythingthatIhadimaginedfromreadingthesebooks.

　　So,IdecidedIwasgoingtobecomeascubadiverattheageof15.AndtheonlyproblemwiththatwasthatIlivedinalittlevillageinCanada,600milesfromthenearestocean.ButIdidn’tletthatdauntme.IpesteredmyfatheruntilhefinallyfoundascubaclassinBuffalo,NewYork,rightacrosstheborderfromwherewelive.AndIactuallygotcertifiedinapoolataYMCAinthedeadofwinterinBuffalo,NewYork.AndIdidn’tseetheocean,arealocean,foranothertwoyears,untilwemovedtoCalifornia.

　　Sincethen,intheintervening40years,I’vespentabout3,000hoursunderwater,and500hoursofthatwasinsubmersibles.AndI’velearnedthatthatdeep-oceanenvironment,andeventheshallowoceans,aresorichwithamazinglifethatreallyisbeyondourimagination.Nature’simaginationissoboundlesscomparedtoourownmeagerhumanimagination.Istill,tothisday,standinabsoluteaweofwhatIseewhenImakethesedives.Andmyloveaffairwiththeoceanisongoing,andjustasstrongasiteverwas.

　　ButwhenIchoseacareerasanadult,itwasfilmmaking.AndthatseemedtobethebestwaytoreconcilethisurgeIhadtotellstorieswithmyurgestocreateimages.AndIwas,asakid,constantlydrawingcomicbooks,andsoon.So,filmmakingwasthewaytoputpicturesandstoriestogether,andthatmadesense.AndofcoursethestoriesthatIchosetotellweresciencefictionstories:

“Terminator,”“Aliens”and“TheAbyss.”Andwith“TheAbyss,”Iwasputtingtogethermyloveofunderwateranddivingwithfilmmaking.So,youknow,mergingthetwopassions.

　　Somethinginterestingcameoutof“TheAbyss,”whichwasthattosolveaspecificnarrativeproblemonthatfilm,whichwastocreatethiskindofliquidwatercreature,weactuallyembracedcomputergeneratedanimation,CG.Andthisresultedinthefirstsoft-surfacecharacter,CGanimationthatwaseverinamovie.Andeventhoughthefilmdidn’tmakeanymoney--barelybrokeeven,Ishouldsay--Iwitnessedsomethingamazing,whichisthattheaudience,theglobalaudience,wasmesmerizedbythisapparentmagic.

　　Youknow,it’sArthurClarke’slawthatanysufficientlyadvancedtechnologyisindistinguishablefrommagic.Theywereseeingsomethingmagical.Andsothatgotmeveryexcited.AndIthought,“Wow,thisissomethingthatneedstobeembracedintothecinematicart.”So,with“Terminator2,”whichwasmynextfilm,wetookthatmuchfarther.WorkingwithILM,wecreatedtheliquidmetaldudeinthatfilm.Thesuccesshunginthebalanceonwhetherthateffectwouldwork.Anditdid,andwecreatedmagicagain,andwehadthesameresultwithanaudience--althoughwedidmakealittlemoremoneyonthatone.

　　So,drawingalinethroughthosetwodotsofexperiencecameto,“Thisisgoingtobeawholenewworld,”thiswasawholenewworldofcreativityforfilmartists.So,IstartedacompanywithStanWinston,mygoodfriendStanWinston,whoisthepremiermake-upandcreaturedesigneratthattime,anditwascalledDigitalDomain.Andtheconceptofthecompanywasthatwewouldleapfrogpasttheanalogprocessesofopticalprintersandsoon,andwewouldgorighttodigitalproduction.Andweactuallydidthatanditgaveusacompetitiveadvantageforawhile.

　　Butwefoundourselveslagginginthemid‘90sinthecreatureandcharacterdesignstuffthatwehadactuallyfoundedthecompanytodo.So,Iwrotethispiececalled“Avatar,”whichwasmeanttoabsolutelypushtheenvelopeofvisualeffects,ofCGeffects,beyond,withrealistichumanemotivecharactersgeneratedinCG,andthemaincharacterswouldallbeinCG,andtheworldwouldbeinCG.Andtheenvelopepushedback,andIwastoldbythefolksatmycompanythatweweren’tgoingtobeabletodothisforawhile.

　　So,Ishelvedit,andImadethisothermovieaboutabigshipthatsinks.（Laughter）Youknow,Iwentandpitchedittothestudioas“‘RomeoandJuliet’onaship:

“It’sgoingtobethisepicromance,passionatefilm.”Secretly,whatIwantedtodowasIwantedtodivetotherealwreckof“Titanic.”Andthat’swhyImadethemovie.（Applause）Andthat’sthetruth.Now,thestudiodidn’tknowthat.ButIconvincedthem.Isaid,“We’regoingtodivetothewreck.We’regoingtofilmitforreal.We’llbeusingitintheopeningofthefilm.Itwillbereallyimportant.Itwillbeagreatmarketinghook.”AndItalkedthemintofundinganexpedition.（Laughter）

　　Soundscrazy.Butthisgoesbacktothatthemeaboutyourimaginationcreatingareality.Becauseweactuallycreatedarealitywheresixmonthslater,IfindmyselfinaRussiansubmersibletwoandahalfmilesdowninthenorthAtlantic,lookingattherealTitanicthroughaviewport.Notamovie,notHD--forreal.（Applause）

　　Now,thatblewmymind.Andittookalotofpreparation,wehadtobuildcamerasandlightsandallkindsofthings.But,itstruckmehowmuchthisdive,thesedeepdives,waslikeaspacemission.Youknow,whereitwashighlytechnical,anditrequiredenormousplanning.Yougetinthiscapsule,yougodowntothisdarkhostileenvironmentwherethereisnohopeofrescueifyoucan’tgetbackbyyourself.AndIthoughtlike,“Wow.I’mlike,livinginasciencefictionmovie.Thisisreallycool.”

　　Andso,Ireallygotbittenbythebugofdeep-oceanexploration.Ofcourse,thecuriosity,thesciencecomponentofit--itwaseverything.Itwasadventure,itwascuriosity,itwasimagination.AnditwasanexperiencethatHollywoodcouldn’tgiveme.Because,youknow,Icouldimagineacreatureandwecouldcreateavisualeffectforit.ButIcouldn’timaginewhatIwasseeingoutthatwindow.Aswedidsomeofoursubsequentexpeditions,IwasseeingcreaturesathydrothermalventsandsometimesthingsthatIhadneverseenbefore,sometimesthingsthatnoonehadseenbefore,thatactuallywerenotdescribedbyscienceatthetimethatwesawthemandimagedthem.

　　So,Iwascompletelysmittenbythis,andhadtodomore.Andso,Iactuallymadeakindofcuriousdecision.Afterthesuccessof“Titanic,”Isaid,“OK,I’mgoingtoparkmydayjobasaHollywoodmoviemaker,andI’mgoingtogobeafull-timeexplorerforawhile.”Andso,westartedplanningtheseexpeditions.AndwewoundupgoingtotheBismark,andexploringitwithroboticvehicles.WewentbacktotheTitanicwreck.Wetooklittlebotsthatwehadcreatedthatspooledafiberoptic.Andtheideawastogoinanddoaninteriorsurveyofthatship,whichhadneverbeendone.Nobodyhadeverlookedinsidethewreck.Theydidn’thavethemeanstodoit,sowecreatedtechnologytodoit.
