Mock-ups make it all work (and make me feel better too)

The Art At World’s End

Between the special effects, the colorful cast of characters and Johnny Depp’s nose taking up half of the screen in one section of the movie, there’s some lessons to be learned from the art of the latest installment of Pirates of the Caribbean, At World’s End.
