Yes Its true...A BANGLADESHI YOUNG BOY OWN THE OSCAR IN HOLLYWOOD FOR 2007 SCIENCE AND TECHNICAL SECTION...

Zafar is the son of retried army official Zafar Bin Bashar, a partner at
Marcum & Kliegman, and Nafeesa Zafar, who reside in Long Island, New York. He is the nephew of Syed Mainul Hossain, Ekushe Padak recipient architect of National Mausoleum at Savar, and grand nephew of artist Mostafa Monwar.

You might see 'Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End' where roaring water splashed on your eyes virtually. Certainly the movie allured you in suspense as well as thrill. You will be more astonished to know the water manoeuvring software was designed by Bangladesh born software engineer Nafees Bin Zafar who became one of the gurus of special effects in the motion picture. The viewers of 'Stealth' and 'Flags of Our Fathers' enjoyed his new kind of mastery over creating special effects in the motion picture.


He is the first Bangladeshi who is selected for the Oscar 'Scientific and Engineering Award' of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

The Scientific and Engineering Awards, an Academy plaque, will be presented to Doug Roble, Nafees Bin Zafar and Ryo Sakaguchi for the development of the fluid-simulation system at the Digital Domain.
Nafees spoke to this journalist of The Independent on last Saturday about his experiences in computer generated special effect in Hollywood super-hit movies.

He said, " I came in this field for the sake of my personal interest and my education in computer science helped me to acquire the skills in generating illusions by stimulating images of water, butterfly and smokes."Before Nafees Bin Zafar's team no such high-graded work has been done in the field of fluid dynamics of motion picture.

The young software expert said, " I had to study theories of physics in fluid dynamics to figure out how water moves while something falls on it. I calculated also the dynamics of flying butterfly and blowing smokes. So my works of special effects in the motion picture entertained the viewers much better than before."

The Bangladeshi hero of special effect has no idea about Bangladeshi movies; however, he commented, "Movie makers should first decide where they want to put emphasis, like acting of actors and actress, sound system, animation, special affects etc. They have to invest a lot of money and works in their concentrated fields of movie."

On whether he wants to work for Bangladesh or not; he said, "I am senior software engineer of the Digital Domain which owns the copy right of my works. My company does not sell software, my team deals with the special effect parts of movies in US. However, right now I want to share my ideas and experiences with Bangladeshi computer engineers and IT entrepreneurs. So last week I delivered a speech and Power Point presentation on my work in the seminar called 'Turning an Idea into a Successful Enterprise' at the BASIS. The term 'Fluid Simulation' means- applying tools in computer graphics for generating realistic animations of water, smoke, explosions, butterfly etc. By giving some input configuration of fluid and scene geometry, a fluid simulator evolves the motion of the fluid forward in time, making use of the Navier-Stokes equations. In computer graphics, such simulations range in complexity from extremely time-consuming high quality animations for film and visual effects, to simple real-time particle systems used in modern games.
