Directors Michelle Dougherty and Karin Fong and the Imaginary Forces crew carve out dramatic and superbly intricate titles for the new Starz pirate series “Black Sails”.

Michelle Dougherty and Karin Fong: “These titles are nothing less than a full-on art history mash-up of Baroque motifs, Gothic architecture, and Rococo style. Using a sculptural language traditionally reserved for saints and kings, we depict a maverick society that is ultimately doomed. Beauty and death abound… as well as a skeleton or two.”
