Igrewuponasteadydietofsciencefiction.InhighschoolItookabustoschoolanhoureachwayeveryday.AndIwasalwaysabsorbedinabook,sciencefictionbook,whichtookmymindtootherworlds,andsatisfied,inanarrativeform,thisinsatiablesenseofcuriositythatIhad.
AndyouknowthatcuriosityalsomanifesteditselfinthefactthatwheneverIwasn’tinschoolIwasoutinthewoods,hikingandtaking“samples”——frogsandsnakesandbugs,andbringingthemback,lookingatthemunderthemicroscope.Youknow,Iwasarealsciencegeek.Butitwasallabouttryingtounderstandtheworld,understandthelimitsofpossibility.
Andmyloveofsciencefictionactuallyseemedtomirroredintheworldaroundme,becausewhatwashappening,thiswasinthelate’60s,weweregoingtothemoon,wewereexploringthedeepoceans.JacquesCousteauwascomingintoourlivingroomswithhisamazingspecialsthatshowedusanimalsandplacesandawondrousworldthatwecouldneverreallyhavepreviouslyimagined.So,thatseemedtoresonatewiththewholesciencefictionpartofit.
AndIwasanartist.Icoulddraw.Icouldpaint.AndIfoundthatbecausethereweren’tvideogamesandthissaturationofCGmoviesandallofthisimageryinthemedialandscape,Ihadtocreatetheseimagesinmyhead.Youknow,wealldid,askidshavingtoreadabook,andthroughtheauthor’sdescriptionputsomethingonthemoviescreeninourheads.Andso,myresponsetothiswastopaint,todrawaliencreatures,alienworlds,robots,spaceships,allthatstuff.Iwasendlesslygettingbustedinmathclassdoodlingbehindthetextbook.Thatwas,thecreativityhadtofinditsoutletsomehow.
Andaninterestingthinghappened——JacquesCousteaushowsactuallygotmeveryexcitedaboutthefactthattherewasanalienworldrighthereonEarth.Imightnotreallygotoanalienworldonaspaceshipsomeday.Thatseemedprettydarnunlikely.ButthatwasaworldIcouldreallygoto,righthereonEarth,thatwasasrichandexoticasanythingthatIhadimaginedfromreadingthesebooks.
So,IdecidedIwasgoingtobecomeanexoticscubadiverattheageof15.AndtheonlyproblemwiththatwasthatIlivedinalittlevillageinCanada,600milesfromthenearestocean.ButIdidn’tletthatdauntme.IpesteredmyfatheruntilhefinallyfoundascubaclassinBuffalo,NewYork,rightacrosstheborderfromwherewelive.AndIactuallygotcertifiedinapoolinaYMCAinthedeadofwinterinBuffalo,NewYork.AndIdidn’tseetheocean,arealocean,foranothertwoyears,untilwemovedtoCalifornia.
Sincethen,intheintervening40years,I’vespentabout3,000hoursunderwater,And500hoursofthatwereinsubmersibles.AndI’velearnedthatdeepoceanenvironment,andeventheshallowocean,issorichwithamazinglifethatreallyisbeyondourimagination.Nature’simaginationissoboundlesscomparedtoourownmeagerhumanimagination.Istill,tothisday,standinabsoluteaweofwhatIseewhenImakethesedives.Andmyloveaffairwiththeoceanisongoing,andjustasstrongasiteverwas.
But,whenIchoseacareer,asanadult,itwasfilmmaking.AndthatseemedtobethebestwaytoreconcilethisurgeIhadtotellstories,withmyurgestocreateimages.AndIwas,asakid,constantlydrawingcomicbooks,andsoon.So,filmmakingwasthewaytoputpicturesandstoriestogether.Andthatmadesense.AndofcoursethestoriesthatIchosetotellweresciencefictionstories:
Terminator,AliensandTheAbyss.AndwithTheAbyss,Iwasputtingtogethermyloveofunderwateranddiving,withfilmmaking.So,youknow,mergingthetwopassions.
SomethinginterestingcameoutofTheAbyss,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,withTerminator2,whichwasmynextfilm,wetookthatmuchfarther.WorkingwithILM,wecreatedtheliquidmetaldudeinthatfilm.Thesuccesshunginthebalanceonwhetherthateffectwouldwork.Anditdid.Andwecreatedmagicagain.Andwehadthesameresultwithanaudience.Althoughwedidmakealittlemoremoneyonthatone.
So,drawingalinethroughthosetwodotsofexperience,cameto,thisisgoingtobeawholenewworld,thiswasawholenewworldofcreativityforfilmartists.So,IstartedacompanywithStanWinston,mygoodfriendStanWinston,whoisthepremiermake-upandcreaturedesigneratthattime,anditwascalledDigitalDomain.Andtheconceptofthecompanywasthatwewouldleap-frogpasttheanalogprocessesofopticalprintersandsoon,andwewouldgorighttodigitalproduction.Andweactuallydidthatanditgaveusacompetitiveadvantageforawhile.
Butwefoundourselveslagginginthemid’90sinthecreatureandcharacterdesignstuffthatwehadactuallyfoundedthecompanytodo.So,IwrotethispiececalledAvatar,whichwasmeanttoabsolutelypushtheenvelopeofvisualeffects,ofCGeffects,beyond,withrealistichumanemotivecharactersgeneratedinCG,andthemaincharacterswouldallbeinCG,andtheworldwouldbeinCG.Andtheenvelopepushedback.AndIwastoldbythefolksatmycompanythatweweren’tgoingtobeabletodothisforawhile.
So,Ishelvedit,andImadethisothermovieaboutabigshipthatsinks.Youknow,IwentandpitchedittothestudioasRomeoandJulietonaship.It’sgoingtobethisepicromance,passionatefilm.Secretly,whatIwantedtodowasIwantedtodivetotherealwreckof“Titanic”.Andthat’swhyImadethemovie.Andthat’sthetruth.Now,thestudiodidn’tknowthat.ButIconvincedthem.Isaid,“We’regoingtodivetothewreck.We’regoingtofilmitforreal.We’llbeusingitintheopeningofthefilm.Itwillbereallyimportant.Itwillbeagreatmarketinghook.”AndItalkedthemintofundinganexpedition.

Andso,Ireallygotbittenbythebugofdeepoceanexploration.Ofcourse,thecuriosity,thesciencecomponentofit.Itwaseverything.Itwasadventure.Itwascuriosity.Itwasimagination.AnditwasanexperiencethatHollywoodcouldn’tgiveme.Because,Icouldimagineacreatureandwecouldcreateavisualeffectforit.ButIcouldn’timaginewhatIwasseeingoutthatwindow.AswedidsomeofoursubsequentexpeditionsIwasseeingcreaturesathydrothermalventsandsometimesthingsthatIhadneverseenbefore,sometimesthingsthatnoonehadseenbefore,thatactuallywerenotdescribedbyscienceatthetimethatwesawthemandimagedthem.
