For this assignment, I was in charge of researching the Production Designer for Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. First off, the Production Designer's job in a film is to identify a design style for sets, locations, graphics, props, lighting, camera angles and costumes. This job comes with a lot of responsibilities that make a great effect on the details of the film.The Production Designer for this film is Brian Morris. Morris is from Lancashire, England and was born in 1939.
He is well known for his work on films such as the first Pirates, Evita and the Insider. Morris had great success during his career and was nominated at the 69th Academy Awards in the category of Best Art Director for his work on the film Evita. During the course of his career, he has worked on over 30 films since 1973.
In my opinion, Morris did a wonderful job on this film and really set the scene for many fans to enjoy these movies and really get engaged in the film.
Produced under rather unconventional circumstances, the filmmakers began designing and building many set pieces as well as scouting for locations before a script was complete. "I was able to do storyboards before many of the scenes were in place because a lot of the bones were already there, says Verbinski. "Brian Morris [production designer] and I would start exploring ideas, we'd discuss it with the writers, and some of them would end up in the script.
