Penny Dreadful: Showtime Title Tease
For their series "Penny Dreadful", Showtime invited cinematographer Christopher Webb to create sensuously macabre imagery for the show titles and packaging. Working closely with Showtime, Chris's team assembled live action talent, props, and SFX makeup artist Anthony Pepe for a shoot at CW Films studio.
Chris employed in-camera effects including: custom built motorized lighting rigs, flexible mirrors, puppetry, prop motion rigs, liquid tanks, and specialty lenses to evoke the show’s atmosphere of mystery and unease.
