James Cameron, 3D evangelist behind hugely successful "Avatar" and the retrofitted "Titanic," will school NAB Show attendees on the secrets of making that platform profitable, the National Association of Broadcaster said Tuesday.
Cameron and his Cameron Pace Group partner Vince Pace will lead their April 16 panel, titled "The Secrets of Making 3D Profitable," at 10:30 a.m. in Las Vegas.
"Hunger Games" director Gary Ross, along with that movie's sound designers, also will head a panel, as will "The Walking Dead" executive producers.
Cameron's session will focus on the company's technology that allows crews to shoot 2D and 3D simultaneously, without a significant increase in cost or personnel. They call it "5D."
