NAB said Cameron’s films have blazed trails in visual effects and set performance records. His films have earned nominations and awards from a variety of organizations, including “Titanic’s” 14 Academy Award nominations (a record) and 11 Oscars (the most any movie has received), which included Cameron’s wins for Best Picture, Best Direction and Best Editing. “Avatar” won Golden Globes for Best Director and Best Picture, and won three of the nine Academy Awards for which it was nominated. “Avatar’s” cinematography was the result of a collaboration between director James Cameron and cinematographer Vince Pace.
Cameron, Pace and PACE President Patrick Campbell developed technology for the stereoscopic acquisition system called Fusion 3D. Individually and collectively, Cameron, Pace and Fusion 3D have been involved in “Avatar,” “Tron: Legacy,” “Aliens of the Deep,” “Ghosts of the Abyss,” “Titanic,” “The Abyss,” “Expedition: Bismark” and “U2 3D.”
