PRESTON is the home of Academy Award-winning director James Cameron’s first international office, which will house his 3D production business. The director of Hollywood blockbusters Avatar, The Terminator and Titanic opened the office with cinematographer Vince Pace, co-founder of the 3D technologies and production services company, last week. The office will provide CPG technology and 3D camera equipment for feature films, television and live sports broadcasting. Andrew Wight, an Australian underwater explorer and producer of the 3D feature Sanctum, was appointed managing director of the Preston office of the Cameron Pace Group.
“I’m proud that the first international office for CPG is in Australia,” Mr Wight said. “Our new presence lets filmmakers here benefit from the same 3D technology and expertise that made James Cameron’s Avatar possible. “There is a wealth of creative talent in this country and now we can provide the 3D know-how and gear to match that talent.” Cameron, who is filming an underwater documentary in Sydney, said 3D was the future for both film and broadcasting. “We are very excited about enabling more world-class 3D productions in Australia,” he said. “Andrew is a long-time 3D collaborator with Vince Pace and myself and I’m proud to have him join the team.”
