比尔·威斯坦霍佛(英语:Bill Westenhofer)是一名美国视觉效果总监。他在节奏特效工作室工作直到2013年。
早期生活和教育
威斯坦霍佛出生于康涅狄格州布鲁克菲尔德,于1986年从布鲁克菲尔德高中毕业。随后,他于1990年获得巴克内尔大学计算机科学与工程学系的理科学士学位[1]。
他还于1995年在乔治华盛顿大学工程与应用科学学院获得硕士学位,在那里他研究了动力学在基于物理的动画中的应用[2]。
职业生涯
1994年,威斯坦霍佛加入节奏特效工作室担任技术总监,他的灯光和特效动画工作在《永远的蝙蝠侠》和许多广告中出现。他在《生死时速2》中被提升为CG主管,并在《再生侠》、《捕鼠记》、《精灵也疯狂》和《未来水世界》中继续担任此职务[3]。他的其他视觉特效总监作品包括:《我很乖因为我要出国》、《精灵鼠小弟》、《黑洞频率》、《蛛丝马迹》、《猫狗大战》、《黑衣人2》、《精灵鼠小弟2》、《丛林奇兵》和《精灵总动员》。
2005年,威斯坦霍佛在《纳尼亚传奇:狮子·女巫·魔衣橱》中监督一个由400名数位艺术家组成的团队,该片获得奥斯卡最佳视觉效果奖的提名。后来,他在2007年发行的《黑暗物质三部曲之金罗盘》[4]和2012年发行的《少年派的奇幻漂流》中都获得英国电影学院奖和奥斯卡奖[5]。在奥斯卡颁奖典礼上,当威斯坦霍佛在演讲中提到节奏特效工作室的财务问题时,麦克风突然被切断,这引起了视觉效果行业的许多抗议[6]。他本来要说的是:[7]
“我在上面想说的是,在视觉效果电影主导票房的时候,视觉效果公司正在挣扎。”威斯坦霍佛告诉记者。“我想指出的是,我们不是技术人员。视觉效果不只是一种由人按下按钮完成的商品。我们是艺术家,如果我们不找到一种方法来解决商业模式,我们就会开始失去艺术性。若非要说,《少年派的奇幻漂流》表明我们是艺术家而不仅仅是技术人员。”
威斯坦霍佛还担任了2017年6月上映的《神奇女侠》的视觉特效总监[8]。
他即将推出的作品是《黑亚当》,将于2022年10月上映[9]。
