Project Overview
Ahoy! For Kris Brown’s pirate-themed short YARGH!, we were tasked with a massive “digital cleanup” of the stunning New Zealand landscape. To maintain the period setting, we meticulously erased all traces of modern life — from cars and concrete sheds to entire villages and contemporary boats. But it wasn’t just about removal; we also added digital fire to torches, created “doubloon doubles” for props, and delivered a custom 3D map animation for the film’s title sequence. Arrrr!
