James Cameron’s big-budget films have plenty of special effects and fantastic settings – like Terminator, Titanic and more recently, Avatar. Nay-sayers might argue that it’s a substitute for good story. And that’s what we thought when we saw his films.
That’s until we found his TED talk.
In it Cameron speaks about how he grew up as a science geek with his nose buried in science fiction books. That made him imagine what might be and what if… things happened in his films. And he’s still curious about the world to wander through it (check out the 9:45 mark where he talks about going into the sunken Titanic with homemade bots). Somehow along the way, he managed to bring together his sci-fi passions with doing science.
The moral of the talk? Be curious and explore. Maybe you’ll find the next big thing out there…
