比爾·威斯坦霍佛(英語:Bill Westenhofer)是一名美國視覺效果總監。他在節奏特效工作室工作直到2013年。
威斯坦霍佛出生於康乃狄克州布魯克菲爾德,於1986年從布魯克菲爾德高中畢業。隨後,他於1990年獲得巴克內爾大學計算機科學與工程學系的理科學士學位[1]。
他還於1995年在喬治華盛頓大學工程與應用科學學院獲得碩士學位,在那裡他研究了動力學在基於物理的動畫中的應用[2]。
1994年,威斯坦霍佛加入節奏特效工作室擔任技術總監,他的燈光和特效動畫工作在《永远的蝙蝠侠》和許多廣告中出現。他在《生死时速2》中被提升為CG主管,並在《再生侠》、《捕鼠记》、《精靈也瘋狂》和《未来水世界》中繼續擔任此職務[3]。他的其他視覺特效總監作品包括:《我很乖因為我要出國》、《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《精靈總動員》。
2005年,威斯坦霍佛在《納尼亞傳奇:獅子·女巫·魔衣櫥》中監督一個由400名數位藝術家組成的團隊,該片獲得奧斯卡最佳視覺效果獎的提名。後來,他在2007年發行的《黑暗物质三部曲之金罗盘》[4]和2012年發行的《少年Pi的奇幻漂流》中都獲得英國電影學院獎和奧斯卡獎[5]。在奧斯卡頒獎典禮上,當威斯坦霍佛在演講中提到節奏特效工作室的財務問題時,麥克風突然被切斷,這引起了視覺效果行業的許多抗議[6]。他本來要說的是:[7]
「我在上面想說的是,在視覺效果電影主導票房的時候,視覺效果公司正在掙扎。」威斯坦霍佛告訴記者。「我想指出的是,我們不是技術人員。視覺效果不只是一種由人按下按鈕完成的商品。我們是藝術家,如果我們不找到一種方法來解決商業模式,我們就會開始失去藝術性。若非要說,《少年Pi的奇幻漂流》表明我們是藝術家而不僅僅是技術人員。」
威斯坦霍佛還擔任了2017年6月上映的《神奇女侠》的視覺特效總監[8]。
他即將推出的作品是《黑亞當》,將於2022年10月上映[9]。
