In high school, I took a bus to school an hour each way every day. And I was always absorbed in a book, sc
2、ience fiction book, which took my mind to other worlds, and satisfied, in a narrative form, this insatiable sense of curiosity that I had.And you know, that curiosity also manifested itself in the fact that whenever I wasnt in school I was out in the woods, hiking and taking samples - frogs and snak
3、es and bugs and pond water - and bringing it back, looking at it under the microscope. You know, I was a real science geek. But it was all about trying to understand the world, understand the limits of possibility.And my love of science fiction actually seemed mirrored in the world around me, becaus
4、e what was happening, this was in the late 60s, we were going to the moon, we were exploring the deep oceans.Jacques Cousteau was coming into our living rooms with his amazing specials that showed us animals and places and a wondrous world that we could never really have previously imagined. So, tha
5、t seemed to resonate with the whole science fiction part of it.And I was an artist. I could draw. I could paint. And I found that because there werent video gamesand this saturation of CG movies and all of this imagery in the media landscape, I had to create these images in my head. You know, we all
6、 did, as kids having to read a book, and through the authors description, put something on the movie screen in our heads. And so, my response to this was to paint, to draw alien creatures, alien worlds, robots, spaceships, all that stuff. I was endlessly getting busted in math class doodling behind
7、the textbook. That was - the creativity had to find its outlet somehow.And an interesting thing happened: The Jacques Cousteau shows actually got me very excited about the fact that there was an alien world right here on Earth. I might not really go to an alien world on a spaceship someday - that se
8、emed pretty darn unlikely. But that was a world I could really go to, right here on Earth, that was as rich and exotic as anything that I had imagined from reading these books.So, I decided I was going to become a scuba diver at the age of 15. And the only problem with that was that I lived in a lit
9、tle village in Canada, 600 miles from the nearest ocean. But I didnt let that daunt me. I pestered my father until he finally found a scuba class in Buffalo, New York, right across the border from where we live. And I actually got certified in a pool at a YMCA in the dead of winter in Buffalo, New Y
10、ork. And I didnt see the ocean, a real ocean, for another two years, until we moved to California.Since then, in the intervening 40 years, Ive spent about 3,000 hours underwater, and 500 hours of that was in submersibles. And Ive learned that that deep-ocean environment, and even the shallow oceans,
11、are so rich with amazing life that really is beyond our imagination. Natures imagination is so boundlesscompared to our own meager human imagination. I still, to this day, stand in absolute awe of what I see when I make these dives. And my love affair with the ocean is ongoing, and just as strong as
12、 it ever was.But when I chose a career as an adult, it was filmmaking. And that seemed to be the best way to reconcile this urge I had to tell stories with my urges to create images. And I was, as a kid, constantly drawing comic books, and so on. So, filmmaking was the way to put pictures and storie
13、s together, and that made sense. And of course the stories that I chose to tell were science fiction stories: Terminator, Aliens and The Abyss. And with The Abyss, I was putting together my love of underwater and diving with filmmaking. So, you know, merging the two passions.Something interesting ca
14、me out of The Abyss, which was that to solve a specific narrative problem on that film, which was to create this kind of liquid water creature, we actually embraced computer generated animation, CG. And this resulted in the first soft-surface character, CG animation that was ever in a movie. And eve
15、n though the film didnt make any money - barely broke even, I should say - I witnessed something amazing, which is that the audience, the global audience, was mesmerized by this apparent magic.You know, its Arthur Clarkes law that any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.
16、 They were seeing something magical. And so that got me very excited. And I thought, Wow, this is something that needs to be embraced into the cinematic art. So, with Terminator 2, which was my next film, we took that much farther. Working with ILM, we created the liquid metal dude in that film. The success hung in the balance on whether that effect would work.
