43、都是我們不曾想象的。這種氛圍中，我不知不覺(jué)地喜歡上了科幻小說(shuō)。每當(dāng)我看完小說(shuō)，故事中的影像就會(huì)在我腦海中不斷放映?；蛟S是因?yàn)閯?chuàng)造力必須找到一個(gè)發(fā)泄方式，我開(kāi)始畫外星人、機(jī)器人、飛船我甚至?xí)跀?shù)學(xué)課上在課本的背面畫畫。對(duì)科幻小說(shuō)的不斷接觸讓我想到：外星人不一定生存在外太空，他們很有可能就生活在我們星球上。所以15歲時(shí)，我決定成為一個(gè)潛水員。而當(dāng)時(shí)實(shí)現(xiàn)夢(mèng)想唯一的問(wèn)題是我生活在加拿大的一個(gè)小山村，離最近的海有6英里遠(yuǎn)。但我父親并沒(méi)有讓這成為我夢(mèng)想的障礙，他在邊境對(duì)岸的美國(guó)紐約州布法羅找到了一個(gè)潛水培訓(xùn)班。于是我便在布法羅的一個(gè)泳池里獲得了潛水證書。直到兩年后，當(dāng)我們?nèi)野岬郊又?，我才第一次有機(jī)會(huì)真正

44、地潛水。在這之后的40年里，我在海底大約總共花了3萬(wàn)個(gè)小時(shí)。大海如此豐富多彩，眾多神奇的生物生活其中。比起我們的想象力，自然的想象力完全沒(méi)有邊界。我想，至今我對(duì)大海的了解還是很少，但我對(duì)海洋的好奇卻一直延續(xù)著。電影魔法師與科學(xué)體驗(yàn)但長(zhǎng)大后，我并沒(méi)有成為一名潛水員，我選擇的職業(yè)是電影。我喜歡講故事，畫圖畫，電影看起來(lái)是最合適的工作。當(dāng)然，我講述的故事都是科幻的終結(jié)者、外星人等等。我也將我對(duì)潛水的熱愛(ài)和電影融合在了一起。拍攝深淵時(shí)，我有了一些有趣的想法。當(dāng)我們要塑造一個(gè)水狀的生物時(shí)，我們使用了計(jì)算機(jī)生成動(dòng)畫cg。cg的應(yīng)用產(chǎn)生了電影歷史上第一個(gè)軟表面、電腦制成的形象。雖然這部電影使公司差點(diǎn)虧本，但

45、全世界的觀眾被這種新技術(shù)所震撼。根據(jù)亞瑟克拉克定律任何高難度的技術(shù)和魔法沒(méi)有什么區(qū)別，很多人覺(jué)得自己看到了一些神奇的東西。這使我感到很興奮。我想cg應(yīng)該被用到電影藝術(shù)中去。所以，在我接下來(lái)的電影終結(jié)者2中，我把這種技術(shù)又推近了一步，創(chuàng)造了一個(gè)金屬人。我又變了一次魔術(shù)。這部電影很成功，我們賺了一些錢。作為一個(gè)電影人，我看到了一個(gè)全新的世界，一個(gè)全新的未來(lái)。于是我和好友斯坦溫斯頓創(chuàng)立了一家公司，叫做數(shù)字領(lǐng)域。公司的概念是要跳過(guò)普通的電影制作直接進(jìn)入數(shù)字電影制作。我們也是這么做的，這也使得我們?cè)谝欢螘r(shí)間內(nèi)有了一定的優(yōu)勢(shì)。但在90年代中期，我發(fā)現(xiàn)我們有些落后了。我寫阿凡達(dá)這部電影，就是想要推動(dòng)整個(gè)視覺(jué)

46、體驗(yàn)以及動(dòng)畫效果的進(jìn)步。讓電影人物跳出人們想象的框架，完全用動(dòng)畫效果詮釋人物表情。但一開(kāi)始，員工告訴我，他們還沒(méi)有能力做到。于是我把阿凡達(dá)放在了一邊，轉(zhuǎn)而制作了另一部電影泰坦尼克號(hào)。在為泰坦尼克號(hào)尋找投資商時(shí)，我告訴制作人這是一部關(guān)于愛(ài)情的電影。它的故事就像羅密歐與朱麗葉一樣凄美動(dòng)人。而事實(shí)上，我自己真正想做的是，潛入海底探尋真正的泰坦尼克號(hào)。這是我的真心話，電影公司并不知道。我告訴他們，我們要沉入海底，拍攝泰坦尼克號(hào)真實(shí)的畫面。我們將把這個(gè)片段放在首映式上展現(xiàn)，這將會(huì)引起很大的轟動(dòng)，票房也會(huì)很好。令人意外，電影公司真的同意出錢，支持我去探索泰坦尼克號(hào)。雖然到現(xiàn)在我仍覺(jué)得有些瘋狂，但這就是想象創(chuàng)造了現(xiàn)實(shí)。兩個(gè)月后，我在北大西洋的一艘俄羅斯?jié)撏Ю镉萌庋劭吹秸嬲奶?/p>
