Exploring the Deep: The Titanic Expeditions

Product Information

What many people may not know is the role Paxton (known for dozens of films including Edge of Tomorrow, True Lies, Aliens, and Tombstone) played in the exploration of the real Titanic after starring in Cameron’s film Titanic. He accompanied Cameron on four deep-sea dives, documenting his experiences and serving as narrator on one of Cameron’s documentaries, the 2003 film Ghosts of the Abyss. Bolstered by contributions from three of the world’s foremost Titanic experts, Don Lynch, Ken Marschall, and Parks Stephenson, Exploring the Deep is the definitive book on Cameron’s expeditions and the last word on a historical event that continues to shock and beguile. It is also a book about problem-solving strategies, developing new technologies, underwater archaeology, movie-making, and the author's witty philosophy of life.

Ultimately Cameron would make thirty dives on the site of the wrecked R MS Titanic, more than anyone, first for footage that would be used for his film Titanic (which would win 11 Academy Awards), and later purely for scientific knowledge and exploration. Gestochen scharfe Ansichten mit großer Tiefenwirkung werden am Sujet Interessierte sicher ohnehin nicht erwarten; trotzdem ist die Qualität des Gebotenen teils wirklich verblüffend gut.Aus den Backfischen, die damals über Leonardo DiCaprios Leinwand-Tod im eisigen Ozean heiße Tränen vergossen haben, sind inzwischen erwachsene Frauen geworden - ob ihnen ihre Gefühlswallungen von damals heute peinlich sind .

Geschuldet ist das nicht zuletzt dem Talent von Illustrator Ken Marshall, dessen Bilder oft erst auf den zweiten Blick als fotorealistische Gemälde zu erkennen sind.Many artifacts surprisingly are still intact, like mirrors, windows, glassware, and dishes–and equipment in the Marconi Wireless Telegraph rooms, which were instrumental in saving the 706 survivors. Since then, his vast familiarity with the ship s structural details has led to involvement in numerous Titanic projects, from model kits to motion pictures and the illustration of many books.

Das, denke ich, müssen Cameron auch die lassen, die über seinen Film die Nase rümpfen: Es gehört gehörig Schneid dazu, sich in einer engen, stählernen Tauchkapsel auf eine Tiefe herabzulassen, in der, rund 3800 Meter unter dem Meersspiegel, das 370-fache des normalen Atmosphärendrucks herrscht - eine Umgebung, in der Fehler tödliche Folgen haben können. Der fachkundig verfasste Text versucht unter anderem, Erklärungen dafür zu finden, dass die Erhaltungszustände von Einrichtungsgegenständen auf der Titanic teils von Raum zu Raum drastisch unterschiedlich ausfallen - "Mission Titanic" ist wahrlich nicht das x-te überflüssige Buch zum Thema, das sich in der Reproduktion bekannten Bildmaterials erschöpft; nein, das von Cameron gemeinsam mit drei Ko-Autoren verfasste Werk entpuppt sich als wahre Fundgrube an Fakten, die ich bislanbg in keinem anderen Buch zum Thema gefunden habe. Having undertaken more than thirty dives to the wreck of the Titanic, acclaimed director James Cameron has probably gained more first-hand insight into the sinking of the ship than any person alive today. Indeed, half the fun of Exploring the Deep is following Paxton via his words and photographs in his adventure, adding his own insights and bits of humor along the way.At the time, because I had young children at home, I felt it was more risk than I should be taking,” he said. Spätestens im direkten Vergleich des historischen Bildmaterials mit den Aufnahmen aus dem Wrack wird deutlich, was die Unterwasseraufnahmen zeigen. he authored the books Ghosts of the Abyss and the New York Times best seller Titanic: An Illustrated History. Parks Stephenson first worked with James Cameron during the filming of "Ghosts of the Abyss" in 2002, studying the underwater footage and creating the first-ever accurate computer-generated imagery of "Titanic s" Marconi and Silent rooms.

It also includes the forensic analysis about how Titanic sank that made a National Geographic special. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice.

Wer sich je darin versucht hat, Bilder aus einem Film herauszulösen und im Rahmen einer Druckunterlage zu verwenden, weiß es: Die Qualität der Einzelbilder des Bewegtmaterials erreicht in der Regel nicht die von Fotos. He also joined Cameron’s 2005 expedition for the Discovery Channel program Last Mysteries of the Titanic and made his first dive to the wreck. Also featuring Cameron's exclusive dive journal and previously unpublished visual elements, including dive maps and personal photographs, this book is an emotional and evocative examination of the wreck from one of the most exciting figures in both filmmaking and exploration. He uses photographs of the Titanic’s sister ship, the R MS Olympic, to highlight identical artifacts inside the ship. An incredible book that shows the account of expeditions to Titanic’s resting place at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean.
