"on stranger tides" employed 1,112 shots of computer-generated imagery, which were done by ten visual effects companies. cinesite visual effects supervisor simon stanley-clamp claimed that the most difficult part was doing the effects in 3d: "rotoscoping is tricky. cleaning up plates is double the work, and tracking has to be spot on." the lead companies, with over 300 effects each, were industrial light & magic—responsible for, among others, the mermaids and most water effects—and moving picture company, who created digital ships and environment extensions, such as changing weather and designing cliffs and waterfalls. filming the mermaids involved eight model-actresses, who portrayed them outside the water, as well as 22 synchronized swimming athletes and a group of stuntwomen, both of whom wore motion capture suits to be later replaced by digital mermaids. mermaid corpses were depicted by plaster models. the design tried to avoid the traditional representations of mermaids in paintings and literature, instead going for a scaly body with a translucent membrane inspired by both jellyfish and the fabric employed in ballet tutus. to make the mermaids more menacing underwater, the faces of the actresses had some digital touch-ups on the underwater scenes, adding sharper teeth and a shimmery fish scale quality on the skin. ilm also handled blackbeard's death, where ian mcshane's actual performance was covered by digital doubles which turned him into a "boiling mass of blood and clothing", and a hurricane-like formation that represented "the waters of the fountain taking his life". cinesite handled the recreation of london and barbossa's peg leg, cis hollywood did 3d corrections and minor shots, and method studios created matte paintings.
