James Cameron's Animation through the ages

A director whose filmography I have thoroughly enjoyed the few films I have seen, ranging from his earliest feature film, Terminator, through to his highest grossing film of all time Avatar, almost every single film has involved some form of Animation, the original Terminator using Stop-motion for the final chase scene with the robot, his later films including Terminator 2 and Avatar using CGI to some degree.

Terminator 1 Stopmotion:


Terminator 2 CGI:

as you can see from these two clips, James cameron has updated and improved his animation technology with each film, with the Abyss, Terminator 2 and Avatar being regarded as landmarks in CGI film technology.
