James Cameron is shown in production on a 3D theatrical film of a Cirque du Soleil show at the Mirage resort in Las Vegas in the new episode of “Visionaries: Inside the Creative Mind” on OWN TV, which premiered Sunday night (DISH Network carries the HD version of the network, not DirecTV).
Cameron also is shown at a Los Angeles studio shooting a new 3D demo for theater owners of an enhanced 3D format on a Medieval set featuring actors in a sword fight.
The illuminating segments are part of an entire hour of the new OWN weekly series in which Cameron describes his personal and professional background and his approach to his groundbreaking work. Cameras follow him from awards ceremonies to meeting with small groups of environmental activists.
The following is an outtake from the program featured on the OWN web site in which Cameron and Schwarzenegger discuss the origin of “Terminator,” followed by a 5 1/2-minute video of an extended scene from the program. (So far there does not appear to be any repeats scheduled, but surely there will be in the near future.)
