James Cameron is the latest to jump on the China bandwagon announcing a joint-venture to offer 3D camera technology to Chinese filmmakers. The news comes as Cameron is in China attending a 3D film forum at Tianjin Polytechnic University. His 3D tech and production services company, Cameron Pace Group, has set up CPG China Division in what Cameron called a “huge” deal, according to Reuters. CPG is partnered with state-backed firms Tianjin North Film Group and Tianjin Hi-tech Holding Group. The venture will not immediately be involved in producing films, Cameron noted. “We’re not going to tell Chinese filmmakers how to make movies. We are going to help them make a transition to 3D production technology as cost effectively as possible, and in a way that doesn’t inhibit creativity,” he told the news agency. In 2011, Chinese box office revenue was up to $2.1B. Much of that came from 3D titles. Cameron’s own Titanic 3D was a monster hit in China breaking records earlier this year. His news follows DreamWorks Animation’s Monday unveiling of details on its Shanghai theme park and a plan to co-produce Kung Fu Panda 3 in China.


Hey James, did you look into the fact that China is the largest pollutor and energy consumer on the planet??
Of course you didnt, the money got in the way of your “Eco Ethics”.
In your mind did this seem like an intelligent point to make?

ME
wtf
Aleric can you please explain the logic of your comment?!
Or is it just an uncontrolable need to say something / anything negative about Cameron
Obviously Henry and Jack don’t follow the news that Cameron has been on an Eco kick since he made Avatar and for 2 years talked smack on how bad a polluter and energy waste the US is. He never tired of lecturing his fans about how we all need to be more Green Minded and now he has moved out of one of his three mansions to New Zealand and is in bed with the Chinese who are on record as one of the biggest polluters on the planet next to Russia.
My point was the hypocrisy of his actions over his words.
Any other smart assed comments you gentlemen would like to make?
And it will get in the way for any “greenie” if the price is right. The left loves to scream and squawk about the environment, but just like the right, they’ll ultimately go where the money is.
I wonder how much tech Jim had to turn over to his Chinese “partners?”
This doesn’t surprise me considering every filmmaker who consults with James Cameron about 3D (the DP and producers of the recent Spiderman film for instance) blows him off in favor of shooting parallel 3D on Red Epic cameras at 5K (converging in post to 4K or 2K) versus using Pace Fusion systems that adjusts convergence and interocular on set. He’s gotta take his investment somewhere if the snobs in Hollywood are going to continue to treat him like $hit. Hey what the **** do I know…3D is overrated anyway and I’m sick of paying for the higher ticket price. I hope it all goes away anyway–I just get real sick of people dissing on Cameron.
Let’s not forget the overnight 3D expert Barry Sonnenfeld in his infinite wisdom, during the production of Men In Black 3, dismissing real 3D for shooting with a single camera and post converting–acting like it’s the only way to go. It’s this kind of backwards logic that has brought Hollywood to where it is now–sequels, comic books, and reboots. Someone like Cameron comes along or Peter Jackson or Robert Rodriguez and the suits don’t know what to make of them.
Titanic 3D was a monster hit in not only china but also UK & USA…..i think its a great job….bcz the man…….James Cameron.
