What do you get when you combine water, a camera, and James Cameron? Titanic! No silly, you get a really cool cover of the National Geographic. But if James Cameron in a wetsuit doesn’t pump you up then this BTS video does offer other things beside than a middle-aged man in a fishtank.

Above all, you get to see a semi-revelatory look into the production a National Geographic cover. Also, it’s pretty interesting to see how photographer Jon Landau tries to direct one of Hollywood’s most powerful men, but still ends up playing second fiddle. I mean there’s only so much you can say to a man whose movies have grossed more than a billion dollars, you know?

Must be cool being James Cameron . . .
