Transcript
00:00One day, my mom said, I got an email from James Cameron
00:04to make a movie of your concert in 3D.
00:08Obviously, a resounding yes.
00:10Duh.
00:11We had a long creative meeting.
00:13It was very collaborative.
00:14I was pushing her for certain things that were outside of her comfort zone, for sure.
00:18That's James Cameron.
00:20When I asked to put a camera on the stage with her...
00:24Absolutely no. I don't want to change the show.
00:26I'm not bad.
00:27That took me six months to convince her that intimacy is so much more powerful in 3D.
00:34Once we started talking about that, it was so clear that it was too important.
00:38I said, well, Billy, you know every beat of this show. Why don't we co-direct it?
00:43Which was pretty magical.
00:45We're going to have to do a really quick transition.
00:47I think that's a good frame.
00:48Then that lights up blue.
00:49He really treated me like his equal.
00:52I just love the idea of people who didn't get to see the show getting to experience it like they
00:56were there.
00:57It's like the best of being at the show, and we get to follow Billy behind the scenes.
01:03Like when I go down into the stage...
01:06...running through the crowd.
01:07Then I go into the B stage that I shoot out of.
01:13The goal of shooting this movie is to really capture this incredible bond that I share with the fans.
01:24It's not just rah-rah with my favorite pop star.
01:27It's an emotional connection, and it's real.
01:32This tour has been so wonderful, and it's all because of you guys.
01:36It's been this amazing collaboration.
01:39She's such a world-class performer.
01:43I hope that the experience that I had creating that show, filming it, and then editing it with Jim comes
01:49through.
01:49And I hope you enjoy it.
