Ray Donovan: Showtime Network Packaging
Showtime enlisted Christopher Webb Films to help create on-air packaging for the original series Ray Donovan.
At his workshop, Chris and his team researched and developed a variety of in-camera techniques to capture unique streaks and flares.
This included hand-made chrome wire streak filters, custom prism adapters, and spinning double-sided mirror rigs. All were utilized on location against a 200' long black backdrop as the team filmed picture cars and trick light sources, as well as urban landscapes.
