Pirates of the Caribbean 2003

Client: Walt Disney Pictures via BLT and Associates.
Art Director: Warren Nung.
Project Date: Winter 2002/3.

When I was still doing 3D Design Illustration over at BLT and Associates I worked on the Poster campaign for the first Pirates of the Caribbean film. I did some Skeleton rendering and posing to line up with some photography, as well as some banner designs for underwater concepts containing skulls and treasure. The film was still shooting and we had no elements except for the body shots of the main characters so I built it all from scratch. Fun stuff to do!

Cheers, THOM
