AHS Hourglass

The hero promo to the 8th season of the FX serial American Horror Story. This was fully shot and supervised by us at FX with about a two month turnaround. It involved 5 vendors in 4 different time zones and a small internal team at FX.

My roles included:

VFX Supervisor

All aspects of the melting mask shots. Odds and ends of a few other shots.
