《泰坦尼克号》导演——詹姆斯·弗朗西斯·卡梅隆

James Francis Cameron (born on 16 August, 1954) is a Canadian film director, film producer, screenwriter, editor, inventor, engineer, philanthropist, and deep-sea explorer. He has been nominated for six Academy Awards overall and won three for Titanic (best director, best picture, best film-editing).
詹姆斯·弗朗西斯·卡梅隆(1954年8月16日出生)是一名加拿大电影导演、制片人、编剧、编辑、发明家、工程师和慈善家,也是一名深海探险家。卡梅隆总共获得6次奥斯卡金像奖提名,仅《泰坦尼克号》就获得3个奖项(分别是最佳导演奖、最佳影片奖和最佳编辑奖)。

His writing and directing work include The Terminator (1984), Aliens (1986), The Abyss (1989) Terminator 2: Judgment Day (1991), True Lies (1994), Titanic (1997), and Avatar (2009). In March 2012, he re-released Titanic in 3D to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the real ship. In the time between making Titanic and Avatar (more than ten years), Cameron spent several years creating many documentary films (specifically underwater documentaries) and co-developed the digital 3D Fusion Camera System. Described by a biographer as part-scientist and part-artist, Cameron has also contributed to underwater filming and remote vehicle technologies. On 26 March, 2012, Cameron reached the bottom of the Mariana Trench, the deepest part of the ocean, in the Deepsea Challenger submersible. He is the first person to do this in a solo descent, and is only the third person to do so ever.
他的代表作品有:《终结者》(1984)、《异形》(1986)、《深渊》(1989)、《终结者2:审判日》(1991)、《真实的谎言》(1994)、《泰坦尼克号》(1997)和《阿凡达》(2009)等。2012年3月,为纪念沉船100周年,卡梅隆让《泰坦尼克号》以3D形式再次亮相大银幕。《泰坦尼克号》和《阿凡达》的上映相隔10多年之久,期间卡梅隆花了几年时间创作纪录片(确切说是水下纪录片)并开发出了3D虚拟影像撷取摄影系统。一位传记作家曾说卡梅隆“既是科学家,又是艺术家”。他对水下摄影和远程传播技术均有贡献。2012年3月25日,卡梅隆独自乘坐“深海挑战者号”潜水艇抵达地球最深处的马里亚纳海沟,成为首位独自抵达该处的人,也是人类历史上第三位抵达最深海底的人。
