Before AVATAR - The Way of Water
There was THE ABYSS
A memoir about the making of a film using film in 1988. A unique perspective of the feature filmmaking process from a below the line collaborator. The movie was directed by James Cameron who would go on to win Oscars and broaden the filmgoing experience using digital 3D. The Abyss would win an Oscar for achievement in visual effects as well as push the envelope of underwater photography. Hopefully, the memoir would appeal to those who have become fans of the movie and would like to be informed about the difficulties in the making of the film as well as learning what the experience is to work with a visionary filmmaker at the height of his powers. Many crewmembers on The Abyss who have read an early draft have appreciated the accuracy and detail of the book. All have mentioned it was a walk into the past and the time when it took place. I hope the reader will agree with those crewmembers and enjoy the book as much as they did.
