更多演讲稿范文，欢迎访问应届毕业生演讲稿网站!i grew up on a steady diet of science fiction. in high school, i took a bus to school an hour each way every day. and i was always absorbed in a book, science 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 wasn't in school i was out in the woods, hiking and taking "samples" -- frogs and snakes 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, because 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, that 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 weren't 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 did, as kids having to read a book, and through the author's 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 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 seemed 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 little village in canada, 600 miles from the nearest ocean. but i didn't 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 york. and i didn't see the ocean, a real ocean, for another two years, until we moved to california.since then, in the intervening 40 years, i've spent about 3,000 hours underwater, and 500 hours of that was in submersibles. and i've learned that that deep-ocean environment, and even the shallow oceans,are so rich with amazing life that really is beyond our imagination. nature's imagination is soboundlesscompared 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 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 stories 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 came 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 even though the film didn't 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, it's arthur clarke's law that any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. 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. and it did, and we created magic again, and we had the same result with an audience --although we did make a little more money on that one.so, drawing a line through those two dots of experience came to, "this is goingto be a whole new world," this was a whole new world of creativity for film artists. so, i started a company with stan winston, my good friend stan winston, who is the premier make-up and creature designer at that time, and it was called digital domain. and the concept of the company was that we would leapfrog past the analog processes of optical printers and so on, and we would go right to digital production. and we actually did that and it gave us a competitive advantage for a while.but we found ourselves lagging in the mid '90s in the creature and character design stuff that we had actually founded the company to do. so, i wrote this piece called "avatar," which was meant to absolutely push the envelope of visual effects, of cg effects, beyond, with realistic human emotive characters generated in cg, and the main characters would all be in cg, and the world would be in cg. and the envelope pushed back, and i was told by the folks at my company that weweren't going to be able to do this for a while.so, i shelved it, and i made this other movie about a big ship that sinks. (laughter) you know, i went and pitched it to the studio as "'romeo and juliet' on a ship: "it's going to be this epic romance,passionate film." secretly, what i wanted to do was i wanted to dive to the real wreck of "titanic." and that's why i made the movie. (applause) and that's the truth. now, the studio didn't know that. but i convinced them. i said, "we're going to dive to the wreck.we're going to film it for real. we'll be using it in the opening of the film. it will be really important. it will be a great marketing hook." and i talked them into funding an expedition. (laughter)sounds crazy. but this goes back to that theme about your imagination creating a reality. because we actually created a reality where six months later, i find myself in a russian submersible two and a half miles down in the north atlantic, looking at the real titanic through a view port. not a movie, not hd -- for real. (applause)now, that blew my mind. and it took a lot of preparation, we had to build cameras and lights and all kinds of things. but, it struck me how much this dive, these deep dives, was like a space mission. you know, where it was highly technical, and it required enormous planning. you get in this capsule, you go down to this dark hostile environment where there is no hope of rescue if you can't get back by yourself. and i thought like, "wow. i'm like, living in a science fiction movie. this is really cool."and so, i really got bitten by the bug of deep-ocean exploration. of course, the curiosity, the science component of it -- it was everything. it was adventure, it was curiosity, it was imagination. and it was an experience that hollywood couldn't give me. because, you know, i could imagine a creature and we could create a visual effect for it. but i couldn't imagine what i was seeing out that window. as we did some of our subsequent expeditions, i was seeing creatures at hydrothermal vents and sometimes things that i had never seen before, sometimes things that no one had seen before, that actually were not described by science at the time that we saw them and imaged them.so, i was completely smitten by this, and had to do more. and so, i actually made a kind of curious decision. after the success of "titanic," i said, "ok, i'm going to park my day job as a hollywood movie maker, and i'm going to go be a full-timeexplorer for a while." and so, we started planning theseexpeditions. and we wound up going to the bismark, and exploring it with robotic vehicles. we went back to the titanic wreck. we took little bots that we had created that spooled a fiber optic. and the idea was to go in and do an interior survey of that ship, which had never been done. nobody had ever looked inside the wreck. they didn't have the means to do it, so we created technology to do it.so, you know, here i am now, on the deck of titanic, sitting in a submersible, and looking out at planks that look much like this, where i knew that the band had played. and i'm flying a little robotic vehiclethrough the corridor of the ship. when i say, "i'm operating it," but my mind is in the vehicle. i felt like i was physically present inside the shipwreck of titanic. and it was the most surreal kind of deja vu experience i've ever had, because i would know before i turned a corner what was going to be there before the lights of the vehicle actually revealed it, because i had walked the set for months when we were making the movie. and the set was based as an exact replica on the blueprints of the ship.so, it was this absolutely remarkable experience. and it really made me realize that the telepresence experience -- that you actually can have these robotic avatars, then your consciousness is injected into the vehicle, into this other form of existence. it was really, really quite profound. and it may be a little bit of a glimpse as to what might be happening some decades out as we start to have cyborg bodies for exploration or for other means in many sort of post-human futures that i can imagine, as a science fiction fan.so, having done these expeditions, and really beginning to appreciate what was down there, such as at the deep ocean vents where we had these amazing, amazinganimals -- they're basically aliens right here on earth. they live in an environment of chemosynthesis. they don't survive on sunlight-basedsystem the way we do. and so, you're seeing animals that are living next to a500-degree-centigradewater plumes. you think they can't possibly exist.at the same time i was getting very interested in space science as well -- again, it's the science fiction influence, as a kid. and i wound up getting involved with the space community, really involved with nasa, sitting on the nasa advisory board, planning actual space missions, going to russia, going through the pre-cosmonaut biomedical protocols, and all these sorts of things, to actually go and fly to the international space station with our 3d camera systems. and this was fascinating. but what i wound up doing was bringing space scientists with us into the deep. and taking them down so that they had access -- astrobiologists, planetary scientists, people who were interested in these extreme environments -- taking them down to the vents, and letting them see, and take samples and test instruments, and so on.so, here we were making documentary films, but actually doing science, and actually doing space science. i'd completely closed the loop between being the science fiction fan, you know, as a kid, and doing this stuff for real. and you know, along the way in this journey of discovery, i learned a lot. i learned a lot about science. but i also learned a lot about leadership. now you think director has got to be a leader, leader of, captain of the ship, and all that sort of thing.i didn't really learn about leadership until i did these expeditions. because i had to, at a certain point, say, "what am i doing out here? why am i doing this? what do i get out of it?" we don't make money at these damn shows. we barely break even. there is no fame in it. people sort of think i went awaybetween "titanic" and"avatar" and was buffing my nails someplace, sitting at the beach. made all these films, made all these documentary films for a very limited audience.no fame, no glory, no money. what are you doing? you're doing it for the task itself, for the challenge --and the ocean is the most challenging environment there is -- for the thrill of discovery, and for that strange bond that happens when a small group of people form a tightly knit team. because we would do these things with 10, 12 people, working for years at a time, sometimes at sea for two, three months at a time.and in that bond, you realize that the most important thing is the respect that you have for them and that they have for you, that you've done a task that you can't explain to someone else. when you come back to the shore and you say, "we had to do this, and the fiber optic, and the attentuation, and the this and the that, all the technology of it, and the difficulty, the human-performance aspects of working at sea," you can't explain it to people. it's that thing that maybe cops have, or people in combat that have gone through something together and they know they can never explain it. creates a bond, creates a bond of respect.so, when i came back to make my next movie, which was "avatar," i tried to apply that same principle of leadership, which is that you respect your team, and you earn their respect in return. and it really changed the dynamic. so, here i was again with a small team, in uncharted territory, doing "avatar," coming up with new technology that didn't exist before. tremendously exciting. tremendously challenging. and we became a family, over a four-and-half year period. and it completely changed how i do movies. so, people have commented on how, "well, you know, you brought back the ocean organisms and put them on the planet ofpandora." to me, it was more of a fundamental way of doing business, the process itself, that changed as a result of that.so, what can we synthesize out of all this? you know, what are the lessons learned? well, i think number one is curiosity. it's the most powerful thing you own. imagination is a force that can actually manifest a reality. and the respect of your team is more important than all the laurels in the world. i have young filmmakers come up to me and say, "give me some advice for doing this." and i say, "don't put limitations on yourself. other people will do that for you --don't do it to yourself, don't bet against yourself, and take risks."nasa has this phrase that they like: "failure is not an option." but failure has to be an option in art and in exploration, because it's a leap of faith. and no important endeavor that required innovation was done without risk. you have to be willing to take those risks. so, that's the thought i would leave you with, is that in whatever you're doing, failure is an option, but fear is not. thank you.

ted英文演讲稿Title: Unleashing the Power of ImaginationLadies and gentlemen,Good morning/afternoon/evening! It is an honor to stand before you today and share my thoughts on a topic that I believe is the driving force behind our progress as a society: the power of imagination. Imagination is often misunderstood as a luxury, something that is nice to have but not essential. However, I would argue that imagination is our most valuable asset. It is the engine that fuels innovation, the bridge that connects the present with the future, and the key that unlocks the door to endless possibilities.Imagination is not just about daydreaming or escaping reality. It is the ability to envision a different reality and create it. It is the power to imagine a world that is better than the one we live in and work towards making it a reality.Take a moment to think about some of the greatest inventions of our time: the internet, the smartphone, the electric car. All of these were once just ideas, figments of someone's imagination. But through hard work, persistence, and a relentless pursuit of their vision, these ideas became reality, changing the world in the process.The same holds true for our personal lives. Imagine a life withoutchallenges, without setbacks, or without failures. It would be a life without growth, without learning, and without fulfillment. It is through imagination that we can overcome our fears, face our challenges, and achieve our dreams.However, imagination is not a gift that is equally distributed among us. Some people seem to be born with a boundless capacity for imagination, while others struggle to see beyond their immediate circumstances. But I believe that imagination can be cultivated, that it can be strengthened and honed like a muscle.So how can we unleash the power of our imagination? How can we tap into this incredible resource that lies within each and every one of us? Firstly, we must embrace curiosity. Curiosity is the spark that ignites the flame of imagination. It is the desire to know more, to understand better, and to explore the unknown. By cultivating curiosity, we open ourselves up to new ideas, new perspectives, and new possibilities. Secondly, we must embrace risk-taking. Imagination requires a willingness to step outside our comfort zones and embrace uncertainty. It requires courage and resilience. When we are willing to take risks, to push ourselves beyond our limits, we open ourselves up to new experiences and new ways of thinking.Finally, we must embrace collaboration. Imagination is not a solitary pursuit. It thrives on interaction, on the exchange of ideas, and on thesynergy of diverse perspectives. When we come together, when we collaborate and share our thoughts and experiences, we create an environment where imagination can flourish.In conclusion, the power of imagination is a gift that we all possess. It is the fuel that powers our progress, the key to our success, and the promise of a brighter future. All we need to do is to embrace it, to cultivate it, and to use it to create the world we want to live in.Thank you.。

在这个深情的演讲里，安德森讲述了自己从一个掠夺者到环保公益人士的转变。

对于政府、企业和NGO，这篇演讲是难得的好题材，可以让我们直观的看到商业领袖自身在环境气候问题上的变化。

不管相不相信，我来这儿是要解决问题的。

我们面对的问题很大，但今天我只想就问题在气候方面的影响发表看法。

我要提供的这一解决方案，是给那些已经给地球造成巨大创伤、以及造成生物圈之消亡的人带来的。

罪魁祸首是工业和商业，而这刚好是我1956年从乔治亚理工大学毕业之后的52年里一直在做的事情。

我是一名工业工程师，也走过了从创业家到企业家的道路。

我白手起家，创建了界面地毯公司，那时候是1973年，36年前了，我们为美国市场生产地毯，我们的客户主要是商业公司和研究机构。

我经历了公司从草创到生存到繁盛到占领全球市场的过程。

后来我读到了保罗·霍肯的一本书，《商业生态学》，那是1994年的夏季。

在那本书里，保罗将商业以及工业称作导致生物圈破坏的罪魁祸首同时，这些商业公司也是唯一的有足够的市场资源和力量去引导人类走出困局的机构。

顺便提一下，在那本书里，保罗称我是地球资源的掠夺者。

后来我对我的公司员工提出一个挑战。

我希望带领我们的公司以及整个行业走向可持续的发展。

最后我们对于我们这个石油依赖性很强的企业的新定位是：我们只使用可以在自然界迅速循环利用的地球资源，不再吞噬石油，也不再对生物圈造成破坏，不从大自然索取，也不伤害它。

有关詹姆斯的英文发言稿Ladies and gentlemen,Good afternoon! It is an honor for me to stand before you today and deliver this speech about James, a figure who has left an indelible mark on the world. James was a visionary, a leader, and a catalyst for change. His life and work have inspired countless individuals to dream big, work hard, and make a difference in the world. Today, I would like to take this opportunity to delve into the life of James and explore the impact he had on society.Born in a small town in 1975, James grew up in a modest family. Though his early years were filled with challenges, he possessed an unwavering determination to achieve greatness. From a young age, James showed a natural affinity for athletics, particularly in basketball. He would spend countless hours honing his skills on the neighborhood courts, determined to become the best player he could be.As James progressed through his high school years, his basketball prowess became widely recognized. Experts began to take notice of his exceptional talent, and he was touted as one of the most promising young players of his generation. Despite the increased attention and pressure, James remained humble and focused on his goals.After graduating from high school, James faced a critical decision that would change the course of his life. He had the opportunity to attend college and play basketball at a prestigious university or pursue a professional basketball career directly. Ultimately, hechose the latter, and in 2003, James entered the NBA draft as one of the most highly anticipated prospects in years.Joining the Cleveland Cavaliers as the first overall draft pick, James faced immense pressure to live up to the lofty expectations placed upon him. Many skeptics doubted his ability to transition successfully from high school to professional basketball. However, James proved his doubters wrong. In his rookie season, he showcased his immense talent, averaging an impressive 20.9 points per game and earning the NBA Rookie of the Year award.James' impact went far beyond individual accolades. As a player, he possessed a unique blend of size, strength, and skill that revolutionized the game of basketball. His ability to handle the ball like a guard while dominating in the paint like a forward or center was unprecedented. This versatility made him virtually unstoppable, and he quickly became the face of the NBA.Off the court, James demonstrated a deep commitment to social activism and philanthropy. He used his platform to speak out against injustice, particularly racial inequality and police brutality. Through initiatives such as the LeBron James Family Foundation and the I PROMISE school, James has tirelessly worked to improve the lives of underprivileged youth and empower them to reach their full potential.In recent years, James has continued to defy expectations and rewrite the record books. He has won multiple NBA championships, earning the title of Finals MVP on four occasions. His passion, dedication, and work ethic have made him aninspiration to athletes and non-athletes alike. James' influence extends beyond his success on the basketball court; he is a cultural icon and a role model for generations to come.In conclusion, James is a man who has undeniably left an indelible mark on the world. His story is one of perseverance, determination, and the pursuit of excellence. Through his accomplishments both on and off the basketball court, James has proven that with hard work, dedication, and belief in oneself, anything is possible. Let us all be inspired by his story and strive to make a positive impact in our own lives and in the lives of others.Thank you.。

第一篇：名人演讲：卡梅隆就职演说David CameronFirst Speech as Prime Minister of Great Britain delivered 11 May 2010, Downing Street, London, EnglandHer Majesty, the Queen, has asked me to form a new government and I have accepted. Before I talk about that new government, let me say something about the one that has just passed.Compared with a decade ago, this country is more open at home and more compassionate abroad, and that is something we should all be grateful for. And on behalf of the whole country I'd like to pay tribute to the outgoing Prime Minister for his long record of dedicated public service. In terms of the future, our country has a hung parliament where no party has an overall majority; and we have some deep and pressing problems -- a huge deficit, deep social problems, and a political system in need of reform. For those reasons, I aim to form a proper and full coalition between the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats. I believe that is the right way to provide this country with the strong, the stable, the good and decent government that I think we need so badly. Nick Clegg and I are both political leaders who want to put aside party differences and work hard for the common good and for the national interest. I believe that is the best way to get the strong government that we need, decisive government that we need today. I came into politics because I love this country. I think its best days still lie ahead and I believe deeply in public service. And I think the service our country needs right now is to face up to our really big challenges, to confront our problems, to take difficult decisions, to lead people through those difficult decisions, so that together we can reach better times ahead.One of the tasks that we clearly have is to rebuild trust in our political system. Yes, that's about cleaning up expenses. Yes, that's about reforming parliament. And yes, it's about making sure people are in control -- and that the politicians are always their servants and never their masters. But I believe it's also something else. It's about being honest about what government can achieve. Real change is not what government can do on its own. Real change is when everyone pulls together, comes together, works together, where we all exercise our responsibilities to ourselves, to our families, to our communities, and to others.And I want to help try and build a more responsible society here in Britain. One where we don't just ask what are my entitlements, but what are my responsibilities: When we don't ask where, "What am I just owed?" But more, "What can I give?" And a guide for that society -- that those that can should, and those who can't we will always help. I want to make sure that my government always looks after the elderly, the frail, the poorest in our country. We must take everyone through [sic] us on some of the difficult decisions that we have ahead. Above all, it will be a government that is built on some clear values -- values of freedom, values of fairness, and values of responsibility. I want us to build an economy that rewards work. I want us to build a society with stronger families and stronger communities. And I want a political system that people can trust and look up to once again.This is going to be hard and difficult work. A coalition will throw up all sorts of challenges. But I believe together we can provide that strong and stable government that our country needs based on those values -- rebuilding family, rebuilding community; above all, rebuilding responsibility in our country.Those are the things I care about. Those are the things that this government will now start work on doing. Thank you very much.第二篇：卡梅伦就职演说HER MAJESTY the queen has asked me to form a new government and I haveaccepted。

ted演讲稿英文Hello everyone,Today, I am going to share with you a captivating TED speech titled "The Power of Words." In this speech, we will explore how words have the potential to influence our lives, shape our beliefs, and even change the world.Introduction:Words... They have an incredible ability to inspire, to connect, and to move people. From the pages of history to the present day, the impact of powerful words cannot be underestimated. They have the power to spark revolutions, to heal wounds, and to ignite our imaginations. In this speech, we will delve into the significance of words and how they can be harnessed to bring about positive change.Body:1. The Influence of Words:Words have the remarkable ability to influence our thoughts and actions.A well-chosen phrase or a carefully crafted sentence can motivate us, encourage us, and fill us with hope. Think of Martin Luther King Jr.'s iconic speech, "I Have a Dream." His words resonated deeply with millions, igniting a movement for civil rights. It is a testament to how words can shape our beliefs and inspire us to fight for what is right.2. Words and Empathy:Words not only hold the power to inspire, but also to create empathy and understanding. In a world riddled with conflicts and divisions, it is throughthe thoughtful use of words that we can bridge gaps and foster compassion. Think of Malala Yousafzai, the young education activist. Her words, which spoke of the importance of education for all, opened the eyes of the world to the struggles faced by girls in certain parts of the globe.3. Words as Agents of Change:The impact of words reaches beyond individual lives; they can change societies and reshape the world. When Nelson Mandela declared, "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world," he emphasized the transformative power of knowledge and the words that convey it. Mandela's advocacy for education touched the hearts of people worldwide, leading to increased awareness and action in support of universal education.4. The responsibility of Words:With great power comes great responsibility. It is essential to recognize that words can both build and destroy. In the age of social media, where information spreads like wildfire, words can be used to fuel hate, division, and misinformation. Therefore, it is crucial to exercise caution and thoughtfulness in our speech, ensuring that our words promote unity, understanding, and progress.Conclusion:In conclusion, words possess transformative power; they have the ability to shape perspectives, instill hope, and change lives. As individuals, we must recognize the significance of our words and use them responsibly. Let us be mindful of the impact our words can have, both on ourselves and others.Together, we can harness the power of words to create a world that is filled with empathy, understanding, and positive change.Thank you for your attention. Let us remember that words hold immense power and that we have the ability to use them for the betterment of ourselves and society.。

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 1 / 19the world around me, because 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, that 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 weren't 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 did, as kids having to read a book, and through the author's 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 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 seemed pretty 2 / 19darn 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 little village in Canada, 600 miles from the nearest ocean. But I didn't 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 York. And I didn't see the ocean, a real ocean, for another two years, until we moved to California.Since then, in the intervening 40 years, I've spent about 3,000 hours underwater, and 500 hours of that was in submersibles. And I've learned that that deep-ocean environment, and even the shallow oceans,are so rich with amazing life that really is beyond our imagination. Nature's 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 it ever was.3 / 19But 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 stories 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 came 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 even though the film didn't 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, it's Arthur Clarke's law that any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. They were 4 / 19seeing 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. And it did, and we created magic again, and we had the same result with an audience -- although we did make a little more money on that one.So, drawing a line through those two dots of experience came to, "This is going to be a whole new world," this was a whole new world of creativity for film artists. So, I started a company with Stan Winston, my good friend Stan Winston, who is the premier make-up and creature designer at that time, and it was called Digital Domain. And the concept of the company was that we would leapfrog past the analog processes of optical printers and so on, and we would go right to digital production. And we actually did that and it gave us a competitive advantage for a while.But we found ourselves lagging in the mid '90s in the creature and character design stuff that we had actually 5 / 19founded the company to do. So, I wrote this piece called "Avatar," which was meant to absolutely push the envelope of visual effects, of CG effects, beyond, with realistic human emotive characters generated in CG, and the main characters would all be in CG, and the world would be in CG. And the envelope pushed back, and I was told by the folks at my company that we weren't going to be able to do this for a while.So, I shelved it, and I made this other movie about a big ship that sinks. (Laughter) You know, I went and pitched it to the studio as "'Romeo and Juliet' on a ship: "It's going to be this epic romance,passionate film." Secretly, what I wanted to do was I wanted to dive to the real wreck of "Titanic." And that's why I made the movie. (Applause) And that's the truth. Now, the studio didn't know that. But I convinced them. I said, "We're going to dive to the wreck. We're going to film it for real. We'll be using it in the opening of the film. It will be really important. It will be a great marketing hook." And I talked them into funding an expedition. (Laughter)Sounds crazy. But this goes back to that theme about your imagination creating a reality. Because we actually created a reality where six months later, I find myself in a Russian 6 / 19submersible two and a half miles down in the north Atlantic, looking at the real Titanic through a view port. Not a movie, not HD -- for real. (Applause)Now, that blew my mind. And it took a lot of preparation, we had to build cameras and lights and all kinds of things. But, it struck me how much this dive, these deep dives, was like a space mission. You know, where it was highly technical, and it required enormous planning. You get in this capsule, you go down to this dark hostile environment where there is no hope of rescue if you can't get back by yourself. And I thought like, "Wow. I'm like, living in a science fiction movie. This is really cool."And so, I really got bitten by the bug of deep-ocean exploration. Of course, the curiosity, the science component of it -- it was everything. It was adventure, it was curiosity, it was imagination. And it was an experience that Hollywood couldn't give me. Because, you know, I could imagine a creature and we could create a visual effect for it. But I couldn't imagine what I was seeing out that window. As we did some of our subsequent expeditions, I was seeing creatures at hydrothermal vents and sometimes things that I had never seen 7 / 19before, sometimes things that no one had seen before, that actually were not described by science at the time that we saw them and imaged them.So, I was completely smitten by this, and had to do more. And so, I actually made a kind of curious decision. After the success of "Titanic," I said, "OK, I'm going to park my day job as a Hollywood movie maker, and I'm going to go be a full-time explorer for a while." And so, we started planning theseexpeditions. And we wound up going to the Bismark, and exploring it with robotic vehicles. We went back to the Titanic wreck. We took little bots that we had created that spooled a fiber optic. And the idea was to go in and do an interior survey of that ship, which had never been done. Nobody had ever looked inside the wreck. They didn't have the means to do it, so we created technology to do it.So, you know, here I am now, on the deck of Titanic, sitting in a submersible, and looking out at planks that look much like this, where I knew that the band had played. And I'm flying a little robotic vehiclethrough the corridor of the ship. When I say, "I'm operating it," but my mind is in the vehicle. I felt like I was physically present inside the shipwreck of Titanic.8 / 19And it was the most surreal kind of deja vu experience I've ever had, because I would know before I turned a corner what was going to be there before the lights of the vehicle actually revealed it, because I had walked the set for months when we were making the movie. And the set was based as an exact replica on the blueprints of the ship.So, it was this absolutely remarkable experience. And it really made me realize that the telepresence experience -- that you actually can have these robotic avatars, then your consciousness is injected into the vehicle, into this other form of existence. It was really, really quite profound. And it may be a little bit of a glimpse as to what might be happening some decades out as we start to have cyborg bodies for exploration or for other means in many sort of post-human futures that I can imagine, as a science fiction fan.So, having done these expeditions, and really beginning to appreciate what was down there, such as at the deep ocean vents where we had these amazing, amazing animals -- they're basically aliens right here on Earth. They live in an environment of chemosynthesis. They don't survive on sunlight-basedsystem the way we do. And so, you're seeing 9 / 19animals that are living next to a 500-degree-Centigradewater plumes. You think they can't possibly exist.At the same time I was getting very interested in space science as well -- again, it's the science fiction influence, as a kid. And I wound up getting involved with the space community, really involved with NASA, sitting on the NASA advisory board, planning actual space missions, going to Russia, going through the pre-cosmonaut biomedical protocols, and all these sorts of things, to actually go and fly to the international space station with our 3D camera systems. And this was fascinating. But what I wound up doing was bringing space scientists with us into the deep. And taking them down so that they had access -- astrobiologists, planetary scientists, people who were interested in these extreme environments -- taking them down to the vents, and letting them see, and take samples and test instruments, and so on.So, here we were making documentary films, but actually doing science, and actually doing space science. I'd completely closed the loop between being the science fiction fan, you know, as a kid, and doing this stuff for real. And you know, along the way in this journey of discovery, I learned a lot. I learned 10 / 19a lot about science. But I also learned a lot about leadership. Now you think director has got to be a leader, leader of, captain of the ship, and all that sort of thing.I didn't really learn about leadership until I did these expeditions. Because I had to, at a certain point, say, "What am I doing out here? Why am I doing this? What do I get out of it?" We don't make money at these damn shows. We barely break even. There is no fame in it. People sort of think I went awaybetween "Titanic" and "Avatar" and was buffing my nails someplace, sitting at the beach. Made all these films, made all these documentary films for a very limited audience.No fame, no glory, no money. What are you doing? You're doing it for the task itself, for the challenge --and the ocean is the most challenging environment there is -- for the thrill of discovery, and for that strange bond that happens when a small group of people form a tightly knit team. Because we would do these things with 10, 12 people, working for years at a time, sometimes at sea for two, three months at a time.And in that bond, you realize that the most important thing is the respect that you have for them and that they have for you, that you've done a task that you can't explain to someone 11 / 19else. When you come back to the shore and you say, "We had to do this, and the fiber optic, and the attentuation, and the this and the that, all the technology of it, and the difficulty, the human-performance aspects of working at sea," you can't explain it to people. It's that thing that maybe cops have, or people in combat that have gone through something together and they know they can never explain it. Creates a bond, creates a bond of respect.So, when I came back to make my next movie, which was "Avatar," I tried to apply that same principle of leadership, which is that you respect your team, and you earn their respect in return. And it really changed the dynamic. So, here I was again with a small team, in uncharted territory, doing "Avatar," coming up with new technology that didn't exist before. Tremendously exciting. Tremendously challenging. And we became a family, over a four-and-half year period. And it completely changed how I do movies. So, people have commented on how, "Well, you know, you brought back the ocean organisms and put them on the planet of Pandora." To me, it was more of a fundamental way of doing business, the process itself, that changed as a result of that.12 / 19So, what can we synthesize out of all this? You know, what are the lessons learned? Well, I think number one is curiosity. It's the most powerful thing you own. Imagination is a force that can actually manifest a reality. And the respect of your team is more important than all the laurels in the world. I have young filmmakers come up to me and say, "Give me some advice for doing this." And I say, "Don't put limitations on yourself. Other people will do that for you -- don't do it to yourself, don't bet against yourself, and take risks."NASA has this phrase that they like: "Failure is not an option." But failure has to be an option in art and in exploration, because it's a leap of faith. And no important endeavor that required innovation was done without risk. You have to be willing to take those risks. So, that's the thought I would leave you with, is that in whatever you're doing, failure is an option, but fear is not. Thank you.
