Description

Pitch Black never wins a single fight, and that is exactly why he works. In Rise of the Guardians, DreamWorks built a villain who attacks belief itself, turning a child's wonder into fear and using it to turn the Guardians against each other. This video breaks down how he manipulates everyone around him, from isolating Jack Frost to twisting hope into doubt. 💼Inquiries: [email protected] Voiceover by: Mark Flores Portfolio: @markfloresvoiceover
