Pirates onlien beta is on, but wait - take a break and take a look at this excellent article - CGISociety has posted Geoff Campbell's profile - yep, it's ILM ‘Pirates’ creature model supervisor.

You might not know his name, but
chances are, you’ll recognize the
names of the CG characters he
modeled or that modelers working with
his supervision created. T-1000. Yoda.
Davy Jones. And hundreds more.
Geoff Campbell joined Industrial Light & Magic to work as an animator on ‘Terminator 2: Judgment Day,’ which won an Oscar for visual effects in 1992, as did the next two films he crewed on, ‘Death Becomes Her’ and ‘Jurassic Park’.

Two years later, his title had changed to animator/modeler for ‘The Flintstones’, and in another two years, with ‘Jumanji’ released in 1996, he became a digital model supervisor.

Since then, he’s modeled characters and led character modeling teams for such films as ‘101 Dalmatians’, ‘Men in Black’, ‘Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace’, ‘Galaxy Quest’, ‘Star Wars: Episode II – Attack of the Clones’, ‘Signs’, and ‘Pirates of the Caribbean: Black Pearl’, ‘Dead Man’s Chest’ and ‘At World’s End’.
