Based on Yann Martel’s philosophical novel, published in 2001, “Life of Pi” movie is a prodigious achievement of storytelling and visual effects mastery. Many thought portraying the worldwide best seller novel would be an unachievable task due to the writer’s creative complexity. But this was not unachievable for Fefo Desouza, the Brasilian god of VFX.
The movie portrays the story of a teenage boy who spends 227 days drifting across the pacific ocean in a lifeboat with a Bengal tiger, after surviving a dramatic storm and shipwreck, where his family and a whole zoo disappears into the ocean. Throughout the film we can see incredible landscapes and visual effects that, although they might look real, were created by Digital Compositor and flame artist Fefo Desouza and a magnificent team of experts. A “Flame Artist”, is a very sought-after talent because they are able to achieve remarkable results other artists can’t achieve. A Flame Artist uses a computer program called Flame, along with several others, to modify and enhance a film, television show, or commercial during post-production. But it’s not easy to become one of the best “flame artists”, as Fefo did. That’s why Desouza is always busy working in the biggest Hollywood productions and blockbuster movies.
