New Compass

To recreate the spinner for the Jack Sparrow Compass paper model, I referred to a photo of the film prop, which was temporarily on display at Disneyland’s Disney Gallery when the first film debuted.

When I saw the second “Pirates of the Caribbean” movie, one thing that I noticed was that the spinner in Jack Sparrow’s compass has a different design from the first movie. That threw me for a loop, since I’ve seen a couple different versions floating around the Internet. Could I have goofed? Since Hollywood has a habbit of changing things from movie to movie (blueprints get lost, props need to be adjusted to suit the film’s needs, etc.), I’ll just assume that’s the case. After all, I did use a film prop as reference.

The second film gives the compass a lot of screen time (compared to the previous film) and a lot of good close-ups, so it’s only a matter of time before I create a new spinner for the paper model. Now I’ll have to build myself another compass with the new spinner, but first, I’m gonna give the first film a quick once-over . . . just in case I really did goof.
