And 30 odd years later the effects in T2 still hold up. Tells you something about the quality and innovation back then.

"His name is James, James Cameron, The bravest pioneer. No budget too steep, no sea too deep, Who's That? It's him, James Cameron"

What a touching tribute.

The Terminator hands down a masterpiece!

Jim is pure gold, glad to see him talking about Stan in 2023! Can't wait see the other Avatars.

That is such a great and tender intro by Cameron. Stan Winston's a legend.

Still cant beleive that they got him to talk. It's honestly incredible both that James Cameron would do this and incredible that the Forbidden World Film Festival asked. Thoroughly enjoyed this year's festival. Its brilliant.

My god. Jim almost got choked and almost dropped a tear. I mean he is "Iron Jim" but Stan was he's mentor and friend.

Lovely stories. I was moved by what Stan Winston said on The Thing documentary. He came in to help Rob Bottin out as he was hospitalized due to his exhaustion, but he said he wanted no credit. He said it was Rob's Show. That was quite a class act.

A legend sharing memories of a legend.

RIP Stan Winston You were the perfect person to compliment James Cameron his movies and work you will be forever remembered for your incredible contributions and visions

I have two lifesize endoskeletons and aliens in my living room, and four lifesize iron man statues in my theatre room. A ligesize velociraptor bust and two predator busts. Every day I marvel in the magic that stan brought to life and I'm thankful I can own these perfect representations of his skill.

The Terminator is such a masterpiece. I don’t think I could ever get tired of watching it.

Love Jim Cameron and Stan Winston - Their work together on ALIENS, THE TERMINATOR and T2 are some of the biggest inspirations for me and other filmmakers. The duo created brilliant cinematic characters that popped off the screen and added to the amazing screen adventures. Creating fun and great drama. Bravo.

Great speech from Mr. Cameron!

Stan Winston has been my inspiration, hero, and someone to aspire to be when I was growing up in Hungary in the 90s. His studio is responsible for creating some my all time favourite creatures and characters, and in my teens I went to the cinema strictly to watch the films that he worked on. I cried when he passed. Yes, he was/is that important to me and somewhere inside me I still didn’t get over the fact that I will never be able to meet him and shake his hand. This beautiful little video by James Cameron was so incredibly touching, honest, and insightful. Thank you for sharing it, surely this will be something I will be coming back to again and again.

Salvation was the last film he worked on, very sad, Still to this day his makeup, animatronic work still magnificent and even for it's time, R.I.P Stan and thanks Cameron and others for keeping his legacy alive.

It's hard to believe Stan has been gone for 15 years now. 2008 was a pretty tough year for celebrity deaths (Charlton Heston, Paul Newman, Heath Ledger, and Roy Scheider.)

Their teamwork will always make special effects look amazing even after all those years. My admiration to them and their team!

T2 is still my favourite movie of all time.

Stan is a legend. Everybody in the FX industry who has a love for it begins their education with the teachings of Harryhausen and Winston.

I can't tell you just how disappointed I am to only find out this festival existed, I lived in bristol for several years but only recently moved away and the whole time I lived there I was gutted I could never find a filmmaking / film enthusiast community so imagine my surprise to see you guys put on this show like its a real kick in the teeth to know I missed out on such a great event. I will have to follow you guys so I can find out if you are doing one next year as I would love to be there.

Like his work or not, Cameron is the hardest working director in the business and Winston's work ethic matched his, so it's no wonder their collaborations are so memorable.

I love the story of Winston’s team not having the close-up shot of the light in the Terminator’s eye fading out after Sarah Connor crushed in in the machine press, and them throwing together something with some spray painted junk a red LED light and blowing cigarette smoke.

Being born in 79 in Downstate NY, I didn’t have access to media materials except for paper to show my artist talent and things around to show my creativity. I always studied movies and wanted to be involved with them. I still see things, figure out how they’re done, and know there are ways and ideas to improve elements. Being an idea guy and many other abilities have led to showing, but not using to the potential.

Thank you, Jim, and Stan (rip) for making The Terminator, it made my childhood memories more gratifying. Also Thank you for making Aliens and Terminator 2.

How can one man be so based?

I need to find the next Stan I can hire to work on my films. Stan was simply the best in the business. And so cool.

The Stan that I always looked up to. My older sister met him at her job while he did a signing at Toys R Us NYC. She got me two posters and two figures signed from his Realm Of The Claw creation. Even having no knowledge of the creation they are still some of my favorite items.👍🏾

Really lovely vid & message

Thank you James for the nice words. When I read "Stan Winston" in an opening credits, it was like a quality sigel for good effects for me.

His first film, and he litteraly hit bullseye.

Good Day, Great interview to hear details that you did the design structures . Very good work ❤️🏆❤️

Jim almost cried recalling stans death.. It shows their bond

Stan is the man ❤️❤️❤️☮️👍thx Jim for the video ☮️❤️🙏

Im named after kyle reese off of terminator this was a beautiful video by james cameron it breaks my heart i wish i could have met stan winston i never knew he worked on so many other films i grew up as kid! I would love to meet james cameron think of the endless worlds we could dream of!

CAN'T WAIT for Avatar 3! Already seen the first two in theaters and eat em up EVERY time I pop them in. Totally mind-blowing and awesome!

James Cameron was working on the movie Phiranha 2 in Rome and was sick in bed and he had a dream about a cyborg coming out of fire and that’s where he got the idea for The Terminator.

I'm impressed, giving thought to serious thought to going next year, especially if say... Dredd was showing.

Looking great

Thank you for The Terminator 1984

Judging strictly if I think someone would be fun to sit and share a beer with - James Cameron is a YES.

Fascinating how a fever dream caused by a bad moviemaking experience (Piranha II) lead to James Cameron to make his first true film and one of the greatest sci-fi films of our time.

Fox motocross jersey 😍👌

Beautiful! James! Beautiful!❤😢👏👏👏👏👏

Forgetting Piranha 2. Saw Terminator in 1989, blow my 8 year old mind and was a fan of JC and movies from that day fourth!!

Wonderful to listen to this

Stan was the Man.

❤️😎👌👍 thanks jim.and Stan the man Winston 😎👌🌹 RIP Stan.....

Jim’s in his home green screen still wearing his pjs

No terminator without Stan Winston

Cool that he knew Rob Bottin.

Just beautiful 😍

..This self-made man did a lot of stuff by himself...Designing animatronic figures for his sci-fi movie characters or designing a fully functional submersible & descending in it 36,000ft down to the Challenger Deep located in Mariana Trench all alone...A true-blue living inspiration to many!....I just ask him two Q's: 1. Are you interested exploring the space & planets by yourself after you've dived into the deepest known point on earth? 2. If you were given the chance to make Jurassic Park instead, how would you've brought those dinosaurs back on celluloid?..Would've they been any different than Spielberg's?

We NEED a 4k UltraHD Bluray, with a James Cameron/Arnold Schwarzenegger/Michael Biehn/Linda Hamilton/Bess Motta/Lance Henriksen/Brian Thompson commentary and a feature length documentary, BTS materials, almost akin to an Arrow Video release. Better than the scraps from the dvd release we got on the last blu release. Even though I love the effects, a branching version with redone effects would be awesome too (as it's been done well by KZfaqRS with Blender, I'm sure Lightstorm, Digital Domain, and ILM can manage it!) I can't believe James Cameron hasn't done a commentary, The Terminator was put into the American Film Archives, preserved for all time ffs. A technically improved version of this absolute classic would be so deserved, properly redone endoskeleton effects, future war sequence, but not overdone to destroy the grungey tone of the story or look. Definitely not "George Lucased". I'd also LOVE a book like The Terminator Vault, but covering all the films from The Terminator to T:DF, SCC series, Dark Horse comics, Robocop VS Terminator, absolutely definitive with input from everyone involved, that would be epic. I'd definitely buy it. Jim's tribute to Stan is heartwarming, honest and lovely.

Do I dare dream...could we get ANOTHER Terminator 3?????

'Piranha II: The Spawning' was your first movie as director, Jim 😉

1:06 This is the first time I hear this story being told like that. In the making of featurette on The Terminator DVD, they say they originally wanted Dick Smith and it was him who told them that Stan Winston would've been better suited for the project. On his side, Winston said that he originally came in a bit pompous because he had been recommended by Smith and so he as "the guy", but he immediately toned down the minute he got to see the designs. Now, we all know most content of that kind is PR from the studios and the industry as a whole (on the same featurette, they fail to acknowledge Donald G. Jackson, the director of "Hell Comes To Frogtown", as the cinematographer who shot a lot of the pick-up footage Cameron personally paid for because the studio didn't want to), and according to some people (*cough*Steve Johnson*cough*) Winston was a primadonna himself, but what strikes me is the "why should I work on your cheap movie?" bit: by that point, Winston was still an up-and-coming FX man. He had done a bunch of stuff, but it was mostly low-budget flicks and was often simply outsourced work from movies other people were making, like "Friday the 13th part 3" and "The Thing" (he did the long-necked dog-creature in the kennel because Rob Bottin and his people were overworked). I am not saying Mr. Cameron is lying (this might very well be the true version of the story: after 40 years, there's no need to "soften the blow"), but it's pretty remarkable that this is a very new account on their legendary first meeting.

To this day the T-800 endo isone of the most iconic sci-fi design for me. And the reason for that is because it's just as realistic as it's sci-fi.

“James Cameron to direct a true sequel to Terminator 2” That’s all I want to see. Skynet, not Legion

The effects in iron man are still amazing.

Still his best film.

Nice James get Disney to release AVATAR 3 in 2024

also, you keep saying that people have to see these movies in theater while it's a horrible experience in a theater. theaters refuse to play movies with a normal audio level, actions scenes are waaay too loud. for that reason alone i will never go to a theater again.

JAMES CAN WE PLEASE GET TERMINATOR IN 4K PYSICAL MEDIA AND REDO TERMINATOR 2 on 4k please!!!!!!!

"James Cameron doesn't do what James Cameron does for James Cameron. James Cameron does what James Cameron does because James Cameron is... James Cameron."

Did he mean Starbeast perhaps? Starman was in 84.

I am wondering 💭 is that the same Fox shirt he wore 16 years ago or a new one 🧐 lol

Cameron was at his best pre-Titanic. Terminator, Aliens, and T2 I will take any day I’ve the bloated Titanic and Avatar movies. As Orson Welles said “Absence of limitations is the enemy of creativity.”

I love James C., but, isn't "Piranha 2: The Spawning," technically his directorial debut? Or, I guess because the production of that movie was difficult, "The Terminator" was the first film where he had full creative control.

Terminator was first ? Not Piranha 3 or something? Was that co directed

Post production. Then why is avatar 3 coming,December 2024 & not this,December? I know post takes time,but,not a year

why does he always use Motocross T-shirts?

Piranha Part Two was his first movie

Next terminator film(s) should have humans accept AI knowingly in general before they take over.” Similar to Genesis but include AI rights and even humans “loving” robots.

Best director all time? Makes top 5 for sure, just dont know if he is best

I think Terminator story is way more interesting and involving than Avatar or anything else , request you to focus more on it ,probably directing or making another version of Terminator movie based on your vision and on your style of story telling .Yet to see your style of non stop ,relentless action & direction as evident in T1 , an out and out edge of seat thriller,with excellent ending ( the tension keeps building up & up !! 👏

Does this man ride motocross or does he just like fox racing 🤷🏼‍♂️

WE WANT NETEYAM BACK WE WANT NETEYAM BACK WE WANT NETEYAM BACK WE WANT NETEYAM BACK WE WANT NETEYAM BACK WE WANT NETEYAM BACK WE WANT NETEYAM BACK

Cant wait for Avatar 3. But i would like to see more complex story and characters than Avatar and Avatar 2.

THE BEST FILM OF CAMERON IS TITANIC....

you should ask him why he ruined the franchise by himself in Dark Shit

i dont believe that story with stan winston, that was a written script made for this video, it didnt happen in real life.

His name is Jaaames Cameron, the bravest pioneer....! Legend :D

Tried finishing this video, but I have a really bad case of testosterone poisoning...I better go lay down...

Why is he wearing a fox racing suit tho?

I wonder if he was against testosterone back in 1984?

so james cameron never changes clothing

Is Cameron drunk in this one? He seems a bit woozy, or maybe just old.

post production huh ? so that's why it'll come out at the end of 2025 ??? i'm telling you, you will kill this franchise if you don't let go of your film making obsessions. like spending so much time on making the hand strapping scene in the way of water... to make it look ultra realistic while that scene only takes one second or even less. no one cares about scenes like that. and also spider grabbing Jakes arm and pulling quaritch out of the water for example... yes those are impressive things, i have now idea how that was pulled off but you don't need it to make a great seguel. overall the first avatar was way more beautiful and way more impressive. there is no need what so ever to wait so long for sequels.

So much money, but just one sweater... sad

Nope James, Your first official film in the industry with your name was a film Piranha 2 the spawning. Lol he wants people to forget that film though knowing how bad it was and cannot have it on his resume,lol. Cameron loves himself you can tell and likes think he doesnt love money and he's a expert on everything.

James Cameron killed Terminator. He was the writer and producer of Dark Fate. He is the one who suggested killing John Connor right at the start to replace him with a Mexican girl. He admitted Dark Fate was made as a feminist movie. It will be the same all over again if he makes another Terminator movie: writing it as a vector for WOKE propaganda and giving the legwork of directing it to another third-rate WOKE director while he is busy making the sequels of his glorified cartoons Avatar. Seriously, James Carmeron's talent as a moviemaker sank along with the RMS Titanic in his Titanic movie, the last good movie he made.

Avatar 3?? zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Keep the CGI. I'll take practical any day. The best 80's films were defined by Matte paintings. CGI was supposed to be a story telling tool: not the story. CGI will never replace the set pieces in films like Gladiator.

Should've worked with john jandis so he could've did the helicopter crash scene

Hi Jimmy. ' Get out of the water!!'😜💦💧💧💧💧💧🚣

Oh yeah, Terminator. That thing he stole from Harlan Ellison, along with those other things he stole from Harlan Ellison and Ted Sturgeon.
