Collaboration with Showtime on "Just Like You," the TV trailer for its show "Penny Dreadful" staring Eva Green, timothy Dalton, Josh Hartnett, Reeve Carney. Based in Victorian London, the psycho-sexual horror series weaves together the classic horror origin stories from some of literature's most terrifying characters including Dr. Frankenstein, Dorian Gray and iconic figures from the novel Dracula. Mill+ director Yann Mabille brought the dark and frightening visceral teaser to life by introducing each character while making sure part of each portrait is somewhat present within the next, ultimately bonding the characters together within the same narrative. Yann explains "I wanted the sequence to be extremely elegant and seamless, so I decided to simulate high speed photography, introducing just enough motion to add life to the iconic portraits while keeping their performances graceful. "Each portrait was approached with a very composed and graphic visual language, seeking to elevate the actors within their environments. I leaned towards a visual approach close to the great Dutch portrait paintings from the 17th century, which have incredibly rich light and are both staged yet somewhat natural." The characters are held together along a single thread, which is a constant and fluid camera move. They are revealed one after the other through their own eyes, which become mirrors of the next scene to come, inextricably linking all the actors together. "Just Like You" is a series of immersive portraits showing viewers that no matter what dark creatures hides inside you, there are others "Just Like You."
