The team making “Our Flag Means Death” were in a situation not unlike that of their protagonist, Stede Bonnet (Rhys Darby). At the beginning of the HBO Max series, Caribbean planter Stede has a mid-life crisis and pours his money into a ship called The Revenge, which is snazzy enough (and complete with a library begging to get trashed by a tropical storm), but by no means is it a match for the British Navy’s big ships of the line. Likewise, the workplace comedy and slow-burn romance Stede is at the center of has an incredibly ambitious setting, the ocean, which it needs to make work without necessarily the money to build an actual seafaring vessel “Master And Commander” style. IndieWire spoke to Visual Effects Supervisor David Van Dyke and cinematographers Mike Berlucci and Cynthia Pusheck about how they were able to blend technologies and techniques to get The Revenge out to sea.
