Important Looking Pirates....Ah Hoy!

I was perusing through the FXGuide the other day, and read this article on the film Kon-Tiki.  The Swedish short is a true account of Thor Heyerdahl, who crossed the Pacific Ocean on a wooden raft.  Needless to say there are a lot of sharks.   Important Looking Pirates is a company that did some of the coolest shark shots for the film, and I think they're the most realistic CG sharks I've seen to date.
