Jean-Christophe Castelli worked as a magazine editor and freelance writer, publishing articles in Vanity Fair, Esquire, and Filmmaker, before moving into film. For seven years, he was the story editor at the independent production company Good Machine. There he developed many film projects and began a long working relationship with Ang Lee, first with the cultural research on The Ice Storm (1997), followed by the story development of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000). While pursuing his own writing projects, Castelli has continued to do development and research for Lee, most recently as associate producer on Life of Pi (2012). He lives in New York City with his wife and twin sons.
Diversely illustrated with 275 photographs and illustrations, The Making of Life of Pi tells the inside story of how renowned Academy Award-winning director Ang Lee brought Yann Martel's international bestseller to life as a 3-D film.
With a rich, entertaining text and a wide variety of facts, anecdotes, visual portfolios, and sidebars sure to delight readers of all ages, The Making of Life of Pi follows the making of the film from pre-production through final cut. Of course, you'll meet Suraj Sharma, the sixteen-year-old unknown Indian high-school student who won the part of Pi although he had no acting experience and didn't even know how to swim—yet in the end performed all of his own stunts. You'll learn about the massive wave tank, custom-built for the film that replicated a vast, stormy ocean in all its moods, thanks to a complex and specially devised menu of wave and wind combinations, some really powerful machinery, and tons of water. You'll get to look inside the fifty-page fully illustrated "survival guide" that shipwreck survivor Steven Callahan created for Pi to consult on his raft. And you'll read about King, Themis, Minh, and Jonas, the four Bengal tigers used in the film—and discover how visual effects were able to create a seamless 3-D image of the tiger Richard Parker.
A foreword by Yann Martel, an introduction by Ang Lee, and an incredible range of visual materials—fine art, vintage archival imagery, and commissioned portfolios by photographer Mary Ellen Mark and artist Alexis Rockman—supplement the film's storyboards, sketches, and stills, rounding out this highly experiential book for lovers of the novel and film viewers alike.

誰曾料想這個故事能走到這麼遠? 我在印度徒步旅行和實地考察瞭6個月,之後又在加拿大濛特利爾市麥吉爾大學(McGil University)的Redpath圖書館中,進行瞭更多的學術研究。我並非那裏的學生,但因為外錶看起來挺像,所以從沒有哪個保安對我起疑過。當時的我一貧如洗,在完成...
評分 評分讀過到這本書的第四部分後期製作階段,我就在覺得,作者讓-剋裏斯托弗•卡斯泰利應該是特效製作的門外漢,讀過最後的鳴謝,答案果真如此。但這對於一般的讀者,卻是一件好事,他能事無巨細的為你講解那類復雜的電影特效背後的秘密,生怕你也會搞不明白。如何製作齊姆楚姆號...
評分是的,我們可以在一生裏活齣多生的精彩,這個前提是:我們要學會造夢。 學會遊走於現實和夢境之間,學習在繁花之上再生繁花,夢境之上造齣夢境,學會用間接體驗豐富我們的生命,讓我們在短暫的生命裏,雖然長度有限,然而深度和廣度都可以不斷擴展。 電影,是其中的一種途徑...
