The original plan was to use this material as practical backgrounds and only extend plates or create specific shots full CG. Film Production mounted a multi-camera array under a helicopter and flew through the landscape also shooting at different lighting conditions during the day,вЂќ von Overheidt says. вЂњFor the South China Sea environment, we had received extensive footage from a practical shoot in Thailand. a lot of moving parts which helped to bring across some of the crazy movements and crashes the ships would do in the sequence.вЂќ Both ships were fully-rigged sailing ships with ropes, cloth banners, sails, flexing masts and yardarms, flapping doors, all the cannons, etc. The ships were highly detailed, and complex assets were built for every form of action, including total destruction. In addition to that initial step, it then requires careful planning and a lot of work to get to the detail level of a good practical set. They may not be symmetrical, or the same section may have different dimensions across the different sets. The tricky part is that practical sets arenвЂ™t perfect. Throughout the boat battle sequence we picked about a dozen hero shots based on the criteria which ones would reveal the most problems, and we would constantly check whether our model of the ships lined up to those shots. Von Overheidt continues, вЂњThe same process went into the Trinidad and any other set, like the helicopters.

вЂњThe result works really well and we ended up getting the best of both,вЂќ von Overheidt says, вЂњseeing the sun rotating on high-action free-fall moments while coming back into a more character-focused lighting when there is dialogue and weвЂ™re locked into practical photography.вЂќ

вЂњDFX Supervisor Daniel Elophe and the team broke this mammoth puzzle down into manageable sub-sections which were assembled to one long shot in compositing at the end.вЂќ The team around Lighting Supervisors Sonny Sy and Chris Rickard and Compositing Supervisor Francesco DellвЂ™Anna kept track of changing light directions and found creative solutions to make it all work with the plates, while allowing for a free choreography of the camera and the animation, done by Layout Lead Steve Guo and Senior Animator Patrick Kalyn. вЂњThe plates were shot on a soundstage with stationary lighting, but our characters fall tumbling through an environment with only one light-source, the sun,вЂќ von Overheidt explains. Lighting in the open sky was a challenge.
