If only I could pay for masterclass
Could you make classes of Zack Snyder, Christopher Nolan and Joseph Kosinski's as well??
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥🔥
I don't know nothing about flim making but I have a hobby to complete the movie.i watch lot of movie/series after finishing watching the movie/series line goes on my mind again and again. I complete movie in my own think which make feel me so happy I enjoy thinking. Nothing is happier than lost in thinking
wow in this video ma sir james just did the same thing he always does vaunting in a sweet way woh
This is the one that is making me get masterclass.
All access is totally worth every damn dime. You'll love it.
Every masterclass has its intrinsic value to people. It's just that if you could see that value or you couldn't.
True for me
his main secret is budget $200 000 000+ that's it!
This and Martin Scorsese's.
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.
Came here for this comment specifically 😂😂😂
They should have used it in the outro or something!
@@Al1987ac Does he use it as his ringtone?
@Sora Rouge It would be a shame, if he doesn't.
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.
Let's Admit this guy is a GOAT and no one could ever replace him .
when you do something from engineering perspective, it will change things
Anyone can be in his position or more.. nothing stops you except yourself
Exactly!
@@levyan4718 Well said
What is GOAT?
James Cameron is so much more than just a filmmaker, plus he is one of the three person in the whole world who visited the Marina Trench...
you mean the Challenger Deep..
@@usedcarsinmedfordcallme8514 yes
My eyes have tears while he is saying "Im James Cameroon, this is my Master class"
Thank you internet.
Back in 2010 I saw Avatar and decided that I want to be a filmmaker. This guy and the movie Avatar changed my entire life.
I hope things work fine for you with your career bro
@@orhanersan3943 Thank You. I'm just picking up the pace. Let's hope for the best. 🤘🏻😬
How is it going now?
@@SaketSamudre dont stop the grind bro wish you the best
@@dnangel4277 a little difficult. But not stopping at any cost.
OMG!!! After this course, I will myself make Titanic 2.
This time rose dies cause feminism
It would have to be a Zombie movie 🤣
🙈😂
😂🤣👌
Love that attitude 👏🏼😂 gon' ahead now!
HE'S A LEGEND
Yes!
Yes!
yes
Joss Whedon once said James Cameron is the “Yoda of all directors”
Yes ,Yes to the right ,to the right ... 😂😂😂
Joss Whedon... LOL
And Joss Whedon is the "Jar Jar Binks of all directors"
@@Ankurenai I was JUST GOING TO SAY THAT !!!!
@@moomoocowsly hahaha . Go ahead . Make that comment . I’ll delete mine
Prepare to see a lot of billion-dollar films after the students learn from him.

@@veridianr2490 coping
@@art_means_artificial Some films have had big budgets and been completely trash. Sorry, but you're wrong on this one. the secret is creative genius expressed well.
@@art_means_artificial Joker had 60m budget and grossed 1 billion so???? It's about what you're trying to throw at the audience
Even just these 2 minutes race my heartbeat. This man is stunningly motivating.
And for all the techniques he may share, never forget that it was his determination and insistence and unmitigated refusal to settle for "ordinary" that produced the highest selling movie in all of history.
And yet he proceeded to do just that -- *AGAIN.* That's like Hank Aaron hitting another 800 home runs.
When there is James Cameron movie running on TV, you just can’t skip it.
Except Dark Fate even though he is not a director.
@@atwunz dark fate is non canon. Everyone knows
Except Titanic and Avatar.
@@Thunderchild-gz4gc Titanic is pretty good. I'm a guy who hate dramas, chick flicks, romance, young Leo DiCaprio and Celine Dion. And it still is IMO pretty great. Avatar is the only one I feel a bit meh about (saw it in 3D theater, never bothered to rewatch unlike his every other film)
Can't wait for Avatar 2.
Avatar was probably the best theatrical experience of my life.
Also, T2 is the best sci fi and action movoe ever made.
Aliens is my favorite but T2 is not far behind... Avatar gets much love from me too, but the sequels should all have been finished by now... and on (4K) bluray.
@@MultiDarkElf they already finished filming avatar 2 and 3. They are just waiting for the pandemic to at least subside to pick a good box office dates.
@@rolandolopez7540 Are they done with post production?
@@rolandolopez7540 My point is that these films should have been made sooner. Remember when J.C. first started working on the sequels ? Yeah me neither... it's THAT long ago. OK it's a huge undertaking that takes a lot of preparation, and even most people will have forgotten about the original film by now. I can imagine these not coming even close to the box office success of the first, viewing habits have changed too since 2009. Even I hardly go to the theatre anymore, but that's because I have my own at home haha.
@antifarterrorist's That's a rather extreme term for a film that attracted millions. It's a gorgeous looking and very well made adventure film with a clear ecological message for mankind as well. It's anything but trash for me.
I cant even express my feeling about this Masterclass .
Me tooo
@@ashishkarnam1877 the gross of the box office of titanic and avator 😄
@@hamayunbabar3064 and avatar 2 🥳
Absolutely phenomenal. Watched it twice already. Best MasterClass that you guys have put up. Period.
Make the rest like this. Takes notes from the GOAT!!
For real? Just to have an idea of your assessment, is there another of their filmmaking masterclasses that you think is equally good? I’ve watched them all, except for Cameron’s.
@@mayurghule7508 Share what?
his main secret is budget $200 000 000+ that's it!
I watched it too and it was my favorite of the 10 or so other MasterClasses I've watched. Engaging and educational!
he might not have mentioned the importance of freemasonry
Spielberg, Cameron, Jackson, Nolan, Scorcese, Tarantino. With inspiring directors like these who can do no wrong, it's a wonder why we get bad movies from bad directors more often than not.
I read that he’s the Steve Jobs of filmmaking in terms of attitude towards employees. That being said, if I was an actor I’d still want to work with him. This man can direct a fucking movie.
@THE INVISIBLE WARRIOR more than that I will call Cameron as Elon Musk, both are self-taught engineers, visionary in their field, Jobs was more like visionary manager kind of guy that drive people to do great things
Thats definitely no secret (Especially after behind the scenes info on The Abyss started rolling out). he talks about it in the masterclass as something hes been trying to correct late in his career - that people work better and are more invested when u treat them better; "sharing the joy of creativity"
Whatever this man says, I’ll listen 🙏🏻 he’s so knowledgeable and a master at his craft ❤
I'm watching his movie this upcoming Monday.
Really looking forward to it.
@@JavierGarcia-pk7gg How was it? I have already watched it in the cinema 2 times and i still want to go watch it 😂 it is a masterpiece. Best film ever in my opinion
Imagine if Spielberg, Fincher, Nolan and Tarantino had a masterclass. Then they would have the most legendary directers alive. I
Yup because they already have Martin Scorsese, Ron Howard, Spike Lee, and now James Cameron.
Steven Spielberg and Tarantino were under the microscope for a VERY Long Time... if they walk into a room filled with film lovers, they can only learn about themselves and who they are... they wont be able to teach anything that the audience didn't already know BTW Spielberg already has two Fans in the big league JJ Abrams and Michael bay... but the next Tarantino is a hard one to find
But i'd love to hear Wes Anderson talk about his skills
I would go for Ridley Scott and Tarantino tbh
@@krypticstudio tho I didn’t watch it, I guess a lot of directors and everyone likes pulp fiction
I just looked a bit at the lessons list, and this looks crazy good. My love of film leans most toward the writing aspect, and there looks to be some on his mentality toward character development, but not in the cheesy standard way we're already familiar with hearing. There's quite a few specific scene breakdowns, of scenes we all know, where he discusses various things at length, relating to the craft. This may be one of the better "great to learn from" on the film making list of theirs. Glad this is finally here.
Man, i see terminator and terminator 2 and still get goose spoons. See Aliens 2 and The Abyss and get chills. Watch Avatar and my jaw drops once more for the visuals! His films are timeless! That's for sure!
Jim is awesome! Proud to have had the opportunity to meet him!
@@lukeskywalker6809 apparently at least 7 people do. And me. So…at least 8 people. If your comment is something you had to get off your chest in these crazy times, thanks for sharing that here. Be safe and be well.
@@dafingaz Make it 10.
@@Devon_M. thanks, Devon! 🙌🏾
@@dafingaz No problem!
@@dafingaz Still nobody cares.
from truck driver to box office king -James Cameron
This course by James Cameron by himself is a blessing for me. Thank you MasterClass.
"Before you can radiate, you need to absorb. Creativity Law of Thermodynamics." - James Cameron
Wow! Masterclass is one of the best things to have happened in last decade. Getting a direct access into the world of Pioneers & their Art form is something that seemed impossible for the laymen all these years. Their years of vast experience, craftsmanship and skill sets are now being Home delivered to common man in every part of the world. It's a win-win situation for all.
They just don't make directors like this anymore. He's created some of the best films in cinematic history.
what you mean they?
A visionary director who definitely knows what he's doing.
🔥👌
I made a presentation about him being my most inspirational leader. He is a living legend 💙
Certainly getting into MasterClass. You’ve got me !!! 😊
Love this course! Going for my 2nd viewing tonight! Truly Inspired. This makes me believe in myself to properly back into filmmaking and storytelling again. Thank you, James Cameron and MasterClass
Do it ! Keep it up !
@@Joseph-fq6hm Thank you, will do
This. Is. The. Masterclass.
There is a new reveal, new inspiration in every chapter. I wish it would be twice as long as it is. Great job.
James Cameron is the greatest filmmaker of our times. I hope to be as good as he is.
😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Christopher nolan is the greatest of the greatest.
Scorsese is the GOAT.. dnt play
no the greatest filmmaker/producer of all time is Ekta Kapoor 🤡🤣🤣
@@hollywoodkabaap.6328 Christopher Nolan is good. However James Cameron is GOAT along with Martin Scorsese. When you have you have two films that are top three spot for grossing movie of all time you are the goat
He takes lots of time years to make movies but with every film he brings groundbreaking technolgy, people connects with his stories thats why he rules box office.
Just watched the whole class today... easily my favourite on Masterclass.
How long is it?
@@nightshooter9013 3hrs 20 minutes
I can't wait to watch this. So glad he's sharing his wisdom.
"it's a love story with shotguns" fucking thank you, so god damn true!!! And only James Cameron can execute it that well!!!!!!
🔥🙌
Just listening to the ad puts you in the mood for making films. So awesome!
“Every Filmmaker starts as a fan” 🙌
The first masterclass that I've watched twice. Amazing!
@Inspired We are so happy to hear this!
I have a question if you could help out pls
How does a class work, is it enough to just watch all the videos in a class, or should we also do the assignments (because I don't know where to really submit them)
And how will I get an email that I completed a course?
This will inspire a lot of people who want to be a filmmaker especially me.
He is the G.O.A.T of all film industries 🔥🔥🔥
No hes not
@@filmeat1784 then who according to you...??
@@user-pwolimalayali martin scorsese bcs he never made a bad film
@@filmeat1784 i like his films 👍🏻
@@filmeat1784 nice joke
"I was a truckdriver. I didnt have enough money. But oneday, I picked up a camera and started making a film."
To think where people start their journey at any moment in life no matter what. It is really empowering. 🤍
It really is, but honestly, How much luck do you need appart of the talent and efford??, How many people tried and failed maybe being even better filmmaker than him?
@@JP-xd6fm luck is when opportunity meets preperation. Remember , you miss 100% of the shots that you do not take.
it just proves that the most powerful thing a person can have is an idea a dream and just do something and everything else will fall into place as long as the passion is there. a lot have dreams but don't act on it. as long as an individual is determined there is no stoping him or her, forget where you wanna be and work on now and pick paths that will lead you bo where you wanna be.
@@JP-xd6fm Bro Work so hard that not only luck but even God would bow to your dreams 💝😊
@@Venkatesh_006 I knew I was doing something wrong!!

"So all you have to do is pickup a camera and start shooting something with the intension of making a film, and you are a filmmaker" ~ James Cameron
I watched this class (I’m a proud member). It was very inspirational and informative.
You could add another course with him teaching you how to draw storyboards. His artwork is amazing!
His talks are so inspiring and powerful. A wonderful legendary Master.
Hope this course does justice to our investment, the same way his films did to him by bringing billions....
I wish we could have scene breakdowns from The Abyss and True Lies. The scenes that could be easy picks for breakdowns are the encounter with the water tentacle and the helicopter bridge scenes.
I am definitely watching this for sure ......from my childhood to now I have wanted to learn the art of storytelling and mutimedia production ...I am studying this in school and love it .......my greatest thanks for this class and Mr. Cameron .......got to get out the notepad .....for sure .....
This is the BEST MasterClass, period.
I have learned in 2 minutes everything about Filmmaking, thank you very much i will go now and make a movie with my cellphone :) James, when i need something, i will let you know :D
The thing about passionate people is that, they are highly contagious!
This is by far the best Masterclass of all. He explains everything so pragmatically and gives practical examples of his method.
THIS IS AMAZING!!! What an opportunity, thanks masterclass team and James Cameron. Holy %&#@!
This is great stuff not only for former truck drivers, but anyone interested in film making.
I want to work with James Cameron 🙏🏻🥺❤️💯🌋🇮🇳
I've been waiting for this my whole life!
Man Man man... James Cameron for me is God... Thanks For much for this..
Seeing this Suddenly in my feed, I freaked out. Thanks to masterclasses ❤️❤️
Cameron's life story is such an inspiration.
this is great opportunity to whom loves film and making a film. Thank you.
I am waiting for the Spielberg one.
@@AllegedlySpiffy Will do. Tq.
For me, T2 is the best sci-fi ever created. A cinematic masterpiece
just this trailer was enough to fill my eyes with tears of joy..
I need this
I’m a film student myself and I would absolutely *love* his class
I've been around since the 90's, I've seen "one-hit wonder" directors come, go and flop. But I have not yet seen another director like James Cameron. Big Fan since The Abyss, cannot wait for the sequel Avatar 2.
masterclass in the voice of Turtle from entourage: We GOT JAMES FUCKING CAMERON!
*I can't wait to rewatch Cameron's filmmaking expertise in Avatar 5.*
we love this man then any other in film industry . love and respect ..
I wish he would get The Abyss SE on blu-ray/4K and then do this.
True Lies needs to get some love too. Yes, I know there's already a blu-ray release for it, but I want to see an official release from Cameron's vision of it.
This man is making three movies or so at the same time and he still made time to make this masterclass. What a legend!
From truck driver to film maker
This is called success 💥❤️
All his movies starts with "A" and "T"
Wow this is great. I need to watch this.
James Cameron one of the best directors in the industry today, because he doesn’t compromise his artistic vision for any studio, he makes the movies he wants to make and the end result are amazing movies, Avatar and Avatar The Way of Water, Aliens are prime examples of this 👏👏👏👏
The best masterclass and filmschool
This will make me a person on a different level... 🔥🔥🔥🙏🙏🙏
Big thank you for James Cameron. I want him to be my High Vacation School teacher...
this looks amazing. James Cameron is a master, so masterclass is fitting.
This is a great channel !!
This is very inspirational, well done James 🗣️💯👍
My favorite director 💟
Best of the Best.. ❤️
This guy made both the best chick flick and the baddest dude movie ever. GOAT.
Calling Titanic a “chick flick” is so unbelievably dismissive of some of the movie’s best qualities, one of them being the movie is accessible to all demographics and all ages.
@@bikramarora1819 didn't have a problem with calling T2 a dude movie? That one also was "accessible to all demographics"
Titanic was a chick flick that a lotta dudes enjoyed as well and T2 was a dude movie that had heart and one of the best female protagonists in film. It's what made them great.
This leave me on tears. Im literally shaking.
I love the background music
worth every penny. this one is the best, from the best. Loved it.
Masterclass is getting more and more tempting by the day I might just wait till I’m ready to watch and then binge Martin Scorsese, spike lee , James Cameron etc etc. .
THIS HAS MADE MY YEAR\LIFE, THANK YOU MASTERCLASS!
He is a real super hero for all creative directors and film makers...
This gave me chills.
love his work
Now this one is worth doing master class for! 🔥
Wow,, James Cameron 💖💖💖
Iron Jim class is in session!
"And I think that's a duty of filmmakers that have been down the roadways to turn around and say alright there's a landmine over here and there's a landmine over here, don't step on it"...He truly grasps what it mean to be a mentor!
Looking forward to checking out this masterclass, if you’re a huge Cameron fan like me, I received a superb biography about him called The Futurist, it was fantastic it charts his career from making films as a kid with his brother up until the release of Avatar.
Yeah buddy! This will be epic!
