Pitch's Chapter
The general appearance of Pitch went through several drastic incarnations. Production designer Patrick Hanenberger recalls one version that depicted him as a truly hard-core, almost medieval villain, complete with long fingernails, Goth-like features, and a metal mask. In other sketches, he was more of a normal human being. The designer even toyed with the idea of Pitch and Jack being brothers. Finally, thanks to evocative illustrations by James Baxter and scultupre by Hyun Huh, they came up with a design that was both simple and elegant.
I CAN NEVER ESCAPE.
Jack's Chapter
As the years between his death as a young boy in colonial America and the present go by, Jack experiences different types of grief, finally reaching some level of acceptance after three centuries of melancholy. But by the time the film catches up with him, he is still a little troubled, with strong emotions stirring just below the surface. "His movements emphasize his emotional experiences," says Hordos. "He has his hands in his pockets and uses the wind to fly, but he really doesn't have to try very hard. The animators also came up with the concept that when he lands on the ground, there are tiny cushions of air that keep him up so that his feet are a bit off. Something isn't quite right with him, because that's just the way it should be with a complicated figure like Jack!"
