I will help capture Ramayana, Mahabharata in 3D: James Cameron

Director James Cameron is in Pune to participate in a three-day conference of TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design). The event is part of a series of conferences held worldwide by the Sapling Foundation. This American non-profit organisation facilitates the sharing of information and ideas by organising these conferences which bring together scientists, innovators and thinkers from around the world.

Speaking at the event, director James Cameron said that he is currently busy creating an underwater vessel which will capture images from the seabed, some 30,000 feet below sea level. The Avatar man also said that the success of his movie can be credited to his keen interest in science. Speaking about science and Hollywood, the director said he felt Hollywood had done little with science themes. Cameron, who is also an expert in 3D cameras, added that he would be glad to offer technical assistance to any Indian director who makes Ramayana or Mahabharata in 3D.

Innovation is the secret behind success: Cameron
