![“First we pre-visualized it [the flying fish scene in 'Life of Pi'] so the actors could act. It took a long time to get that to come to life and to design those coming out of the screen. We had great fun with that. It takes a long time, a year maybe.” quote by Ang Lee](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/017/ang-lee-2496_actors_first-we-pre-visualized-it-the-flying-fi_538534.jpg)
