Titans

 

BGSTR and HBO came to FX WRX to shoot live-action effects shots for the "Titans" season 4 trailer, featuring the character Brother Blood. Cinematographer and technical director Christopher Webb and his team designed and built a 100-gallon reflecting pool filled with stage blood. The pool was supported on a steel structure, with the performer lying beneath it. A custom-made gasket system allowed the performer to reach up through the bottom of the tank.

Chris operated the camera by hand on a jib arm, so that it could descend as the hand dramatically emerged from the blood. J&M Special Effects mixed custom-colored stage blood and provided a system of air pumps and valves to create bubbles rising up out of the liquid. ​​​​​​​

The team at BGSTR composited these live action FX shots and elements into their final edit, incorporating additional show footage and graphics.
