Sea Of Madness tells the story of a gold-seeking pirate who stumbles across a treasure chest on a deserted beach.  Unfortunately, the treasure inside guards a hideous secret. 

Sea Of Madness was made by our third year VFX students, working together as a team to replicate as closely as possible the workings of a real vfx studio and facility.
