Lou Pecora is an American visual effects artist. Since he began his career in 1996, he's been involved in several projects. As a visual effects artist, he creates visual effects and animation, taking video that's shot on a green screen, then digitally duplicating it into a scene. He occasionally gets to go on set, but most of the work is done in front of the computer. He has been nominated for an Academy Award in the category Best Visual Effects for the film X-Men: Days of Future Past.
