James Cameron Canadian film director, producer and writer of many iconic movies, many of them

Inside the genre of science fiction.

By Alvaro Aparicio

In his talk : ¨Before Avatar... a curious

boy¨

James Cameron talks about how

his most powerful weapon for

achieving all the things he have

done it´s simply something we all

own...

And that is deciding to follow our

curiosity and imagination.

James Cameron captures the audience attention by

making them empathize with his his childhood, we all

were kids and had dreams

He also kept the audience

attention because ...

He’s James Cameron!

James Cameron maintained the audience attention by

being really personal about the motivation behind some

of his most famous work. Creating an intimate feeling of

trust

The commandment that

is emphasize during

this speech. Is the

commandment #6

TED COMMANDMENT #6

¨Speak of the failure as well as the success¨

James Cameron encouraged people not to be afraid

of failure. He mentioned some cases of movies that

didn’t brought much commercial success but make

him learn from it.

I rate James Cameron

dynamism with :

4

His speech is really good but not because he is a really

dynamic speaker. It’s the personal approach and

sincerity on his way of speak that makes this Talk really

a good one

Garr Reynolds and Nancy Duarte Tips

There’s relationship between some of the tips that

were mentioned and James cameron speech.

- His style of delivering the speech was like if

he was telling a story.

- He was not afraid of telling some jokes that

even involved his failure in some occasions

I’ve learned from this

presentation....

There’s many ways of capturing the audience

attention. There’s no need of being the typical

dynamic speaker. I think is more valuable trueness

and sincerity in the speaker

Both Cameron and Sir Ken Robinson gave an

entertaining speech. Sir Ken definitely used more

humor than Cameron but there was similarity in the use

of pauses and calm phase.

Tips for my classmates

Make people laugh

keeping the focus

on the information.

And be sincere with

your audience, don’t

create a character, be

real, be yourself.
