James Cameron's Best Special Effects

Reprieve
After the record-breaking success of Titanic, Cameron would take a break from producing feature-length movies to pursue a series of documentary projects. One such project was Ghosts of the Abyss, a 2003 documentary film that explores the wreckage of the Titanic. It was during this break from moviemaking that he experimented with the 3-D cinematography that would play a prominent role in his return to the big screen in 2009.
