You’re looking at pure CGI. No prosthetics. No makeup. Just groundbreaking visual effects.
Davy Jones in Pirates of the Caribbean wasn’t just a villain he was a VFX revolution. Every tentacle, twitch, and barnacle was digitally created by ILM, yet his performance feels realer than most flesh-and-blood characters. Bill Nighy acted on set in a mo-cap suit, and the animators brought him to life with stunning detail right down to the light shining through his slimy skin.
Nearly 20 years later, this still holds up as one of the greatest CGI characters ever put on screen. 🐙🔥
