This website provides visitors with a behind-the-scenes look at the artistry and technology used to bring the characters and environments to life in the Academy Award Winning move Pirates of the Caribbean. It was created to showcase that the best visual effects make the effort invisable and extend ILM to the web. The look of the site carries through the theme of the movie by having suddle underwater noises playing in the background. It is easy to navigate and encourages visitors to have non-linear interaction with video rather than a passive viewing experience. Flash is used to "peel apart" layered video revealing some of the special effects used to create the movie. It also engages the viewer by showing scenes from the movie and asking if it is "Real or ILM".

Software used to create ths site includes Flash 8 Professional, Illustrator CS2, and Photoshop CS2.
