Description

"Davy Jones" production-used camera-reference pipe from Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest. (Walt Disney Pictures, 2006) Davy Jones' CGI camera-reference pipe from Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest. The squid-man hybrid "Capt. Davy Jones" (Bill Nighy) was almost entirely CGI-created on top of Nighy's likeness, so various props required references for proper post-production animation, such as this highly detailed pipe. Designed to look like an 18th-Century pipe with a live crab hugging the bottom of the bowl, this model is made of unpainted cast resin and covered in evenly spaced reflective reference dots. Measures approx. 9 x 2 in. Exhibits minimal production wear. Obtained from Kerner Optical, a subdivision of ILM, which created the visual effects for this film.
