London,
(ANI):
James
Cameron
has
slammed
the
procedure
employed
by
some
filmmakers
to
convert
films
lensed
in
2D
to
the
3D
format.
According
to
Cameron,
making
a
movie
in
3D
–
like
he
filmed
Avatar
–
ensures
better
quality
over
subsequent
conversion.
Cameron
said
filmmakers
"should
have
been
pounding
on
the
gates
of
the
studios
saying
we
want
to
make
movies
in
3D." However,
the
Titanic
director,
55,
pointed
out
that
the
appetite
for
3D
films
might
soon
dip.
"The
problem
is
these
decisions
should
be
made
by
film-makers,
they
shouldn''t
be
made
by
studios,
because
if
it
was
up
to
studios
they''re
going
to
sacrifice
quality
for
lower
cost,"
the
BBC
quoted
Cameron,
as
saying.
Cameron
has
also
disclosed
plans
to
convert
Titanic
into
3D,
but
said
he
will
take
his
time
and
not
go
with
a
"slapdash
conversion".
