In 1998 James and John David Cameron formed a digital media
company, earthship.tv which became Earthship Productions.[36] The
company produced live multimedia documentaries from the depths of
the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. With EarthshipProductions, John
Cameron's recent projects have included undersea documentarieson
the Bismarck (Expedition: Bismarck, 2002) and the Titanic (Ghosts
of the Abyss (2003, in IMAX 3D) and Tony Robinson's Titanic
Adventure (2005)).[37] He wasa producer on the 2002 film Solaris,
and narrated The Exodus Decoded.
Cameron is a leading advocate for stereoscopic digital 3-D
films. In a 2003 interview about his IMAX 2D documentary Ghosts of
the Abyss, he mentioned that he is"going to do everything in 3D
now".[38] He has made similar statements in otherinterviews. Ghosts
of the Abyss and Aliens of the Deep (also an IMAX documentary) were
both shot in 3-D and released by Walt Disney Pictures and Walden
Media,and Cameron did the same for his new project, Avatar for 20th
Century Fox & SonyPictures' Columbia Pictures. He intends to
use the same technology for The Dive, Sanctum and an adaptation of
the manga series Battle Angel Alita.
Cameron was the founder and CEO of Digital Domain, a visual
effects production and technology company.
In addition, he plans to create a 3-D project about the first
trip to Mars. ("I've been very interested in the Humans to Mars
movementthe 'Mars Underground'and I've done a tremendous amount of
personal research for a novel, a miniseries, anda 3-D film.")[39]
He is on the science team for the 2011 Mars Science Laboratory
.[40]
Cameron announced on February 26, 2007, that he, along with his
director, SimchaJacobovici, have documented the unearthing of the
Talpiot Tomb, which is alleged to be the tomb of Jesus. Unearthed
in 1981 by Israeli construction workers, the names on the tomb are
claimed, in the documentary, to correlate with the namesof Jesus
and several individuals closely associated with him. Scientists
pictured in the feature further claim to have DNA tests,
archaeological evidence, andBiblical studies to back up their
claim. The documentary, named The Lost Tomb ofJesus, was broadcast
on the Discovery Channel on March 4, 2007.
As a National Geographic explorer-in-residence,[41] Cameron
re-investigated thesinking of the Titanic with eight experts in
2012. The investigation was feature
d in the TV documentary special Titanic: The Final Word with
James Cameron, which premiered on April 8 on the National
Geographic Channel.[42] In the conclusionof the analysis, the
consensus revised the CGI animation of the sinking conceived in
1995.[43][44]
