PLUNDER
A rendered pirate navigator’s console in carved mahogany and brass. The compass needle tracks the voyage, the ship’s wheel is your volume, and the lantern lights while you sail.
Design thinking
Big pirate adventure films sell one feeling: an ornate old instrument, a course, and a long way to go. PLUNDER is a single 3D-rendered navigator’s console with a carved sea serpent, rope trim and a ship’s wheel, and the video plays in the brass-framed window. The compass is a real readout: its needle sweeps around as the video plays and shows the time. Turn the ship’s wheel to set the volume and a glowing brass arc shows how much wind you’ve got. The five gold doubloons are the transport, the brass rail under the screen is the timeline, and the lantern up top lights and flickers while it plays. Tap the lantern to change speed.
Icons are pressed into the coins with a light top edge and dark bottom edge so they read like stamped metal, hit areas extend past each coin for thumbs, focus shows as a gold ring, and the lantern flicker and needle easing stop with reduced motion.
