For the series PENNY DREADFUL, Showtime invited Christopher Webb to create sensuously macabre imagery for the show titles and packaging. The team assembled live action talent, props, and a SFX makeup artist for a shoot at Chris's FX WRX. 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.
