Working with the CG ship model from production VFX, our design team animated the straw hat flying from the top of the main mast soaring all the way across the deck of the Gone Merry, through the mast rigging, dramatically unfurling the iconic painted sail, then finally knocking loose a spar that drops to form the N of the logo.  With a matte painted sky, CG ocean simulation, CG ship complete with lemon trees and cannon on deck, ropes and rigging, cloth simulations for the sail and hat animation, every frame of this custom logo is a handcrafted world unto itself.
