Watch James Cameron Talk About The 3D Conversion Of ‘Titanic’

Watch the featurette below.

Setting aside Cameron’s softly-voiced hyperbole about Titanic, I can’t watch footage from the film and not be a bit gobsmacked by the wealth of detail he built into the movie. Years ago I worked with a guy who was a set dresser on the film, and he’d talk about the process of setting up the massive dining room setups and then watching them washed into oblivion by tons of water, take after take. There’s room for a great new ‘making of’ feature showing that original process in action and then moving forward to the 3D conversion of those scenes.
