"Its all about Story telling" John Myhre
This video is an interview from the 2011 San Diego Comic-Con, with John Myhre who was the Production Designer on “Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides”.
He starts off by briefly explaining what his role was as production designer was in the film and how exciting and creative this job is. It’s so good to see someone really enamoured with their work and as this is the job I want to go into one day it’s really inspiring and fills me with excitement and anticipation for projects I may get to work on one day.
It’s an interesting video because Myhre goes into detail on how he came up with the concept for the ship sailed by the infamous pirate Blackbeard, the Queen Anne’s Revenge. Many details go unnoticed by the audience but it’s very interesting hearing where certain elements of the design come from; for example the menacing skeleton on the bow of the ship where the figurehead should be, holding a spear and a goblet, is taken from motif that appears on Blackbeard’s flag:
I will investigate more of John Myhre’s work.
