The Academy Delves Into The Visual Effects Recipe For LIFE OF PI

The creative team from the Oscar®-winning film LIFE OF PI will reunite to examine the breakthrough 3D and visual effects work that went into crafting the film.

The evening will feature film sequences and “making-of” clips along with an onstage conversation with Academy Award®-winning visual effects artists Bill Westenhofer, Erik-Jan De Boer and Donald R. Elliott, Oscar-winning cinematographer Claudio Miranda, previsualization supervisor Brad Alexander, and Oscar-nominated film editor Tim Squyres.

This year’s Oscar winner for Cinematography, Directing, Music – Original Score and Visual Effects, LIFE OF PI tells the story of a boy lost at sea and his struggle to survive inside a lifeboat with a Bengal tiger named Richard Parker.

Hosted by Academy governor Bill Kroyer, “Deconstructing Pi” will take place on Monday, May 6, at 7:30 p.m. at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences’ Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills.
