Background
In mid 2022 Nic Girard and Rafael Ruiz of Worship Studio approached me asking for a couple of live action plates for the FX/Hulu show American Horror Stories and I could not have been happier. Elastic have tasked Worship with the creation of two main title sequences for the show and one of which was dealing with milk pox disease.
Nic and Raf came up with an incredible mood board which did not need any further explanation so I started shooting a plethora of visceral and gut wrenching plates to work with using anything but milk and real blood. In the final stages Nic Girard and Rafael Ruiz worked their compositing and animation skills on the footage and out came a true masterpiece.
