American Horror Stories
Netflix Alternative Intros
I am a long-time admirer of "American Horror Story", not only for its eerie story-telling and ingenious, lusciously dark cinematography, but equally for its various stand-out title sequences. And as somebody who has bathed in the horror genre since adolescence, an opportunity to lead on a horror opener is something I had been firmly crossing my fingers for.
I brought my particular style, approach and ideas to bear. I was delighted when Ryan Murphy Productions selected the searing palette and style I proposed and I at once set about fleshing out a full storyboard embracing the creepy otherworldliness of the episode and the tone of the series as a whole.
It is quite rare that I animate these days and I relished the challenge of bringing my designs to life and establishing an off-kilter animation style. I used a combination of AE and personal videos. I also enjoyed the challenge of finding a suitably creepy and unsettling technique of animation for the typography, including main logo card.
