VANCOUVER - A woman who was mauled to death by a lioness in South Africa was a Vancouver-based visual effects editor on a volunteer mission to protect wildlife, her family says.
Kate Chappell, 29, was a "brilliant, kind, adventurous and high-spirited" woman, according to a post on her sister Jen's Facebook page.
"Her energy and passion could not be contained by mere continents or oceans. She was very much loved and shared her love for life with those she met," the post read.
Chappell worked on blockbusters including "Godzilla," "Captain America: The Winter Soldier" and "Divergent," and contributed to a 2014 "Game of Thrones" episode that won an Emmy, according to her profile on Internet Movie Database.
She grew up in the New York suburbs and spent the past year in Vancouver working for a special effects company, her mother Mary told The Journal News.
Her profile said she had worked for Scanline VFX, a company with offices in Vancouver and L.A.

I hate when that happens.
"Uh, miss, keep your window closed!"
"No way! It'll mess up my shots!"
Brilliant?... 
Vancouver has a vibrant movie community. It has lost a young member. RIP
Signs are put up for a reason.
NO Exceptions.
The real world isn’t as forgiving as virtual reality.
Oughta stick to where the deer and the antelope roam.
'Course an idiot can scare up trouble there too.
That’s fun. :-)
I find it hard to bleed for “animal people” who are killed by wild animals. They seem to court their own death. Remember the man who loved grizzlies and they ate him.
it was ...for ...effect...
a very very SPECIAL effect, and not one that can be repeated
as spectacular as this effect was...no emmy’s will be forthcoming
The worst mistakes are stupid, dangerous, and come without Mulligans.
Like these geniuses:
Playing with Cats
(2 January 1996, India) A tiger killed one man and mauled another at the Calcutta zoo yesterday when they tried to put a marigold garland around its neck in a New Year's greeting.Prakesh Tiwari, the dead man, and Suresh Rai had been drinking before they bought the floral garlands and crossed the moat around the tiger's enclosure, authorities said. "I was shocked to see the two young men weaving about in front of a tiger with garlands in their hands, " said Rakesh Banerjee, who witnessed the attack that triggered panic and a near stampede in the zoo.
The men, both in their 20's, were trying to put the garland on a 13-year old male Royal Bengal tiger named "Shiva" after the Hindu god of destruction. When Rai threw the garland around Shiva's neck, the tiger attacked him. His friend Tiwari intervened, kicking the tiger in the face. The tiger released Rai, and attacked and killed Tiwari...
It’s damned odd that in her time working at animal preserves she failed to absorb the truth that you respect these animals at all times.
maybe earn her a Darwin though it won't be a total loss
She’s there to save the wildlife. Why would they want to hurt her?
what miniscule portion...of donmt open the windows could she have possibly missed?
good question
Because Brilliant does not mean Wise.
