Weekly WIP #12

Crossing the Line: Samara - Mass Effect

  • Light Test Clip:
         So far, the lights on Crossing the Line keep coming out a bit dark or very, very blinding. That 'happy middle' seems to be eluding me. It's most likely a single light needed from a specific angle. It'll get sorted. They're not terrible though. Just not where I want them yet.
  •  Sound Test Clip:
            I like the music. I like the smack sounds. Still not 100% sold on the grunts/moans. May just need further edits in Audacity or Vegas. Like the lights, they're not horrible. Just not where I want them yet.
  •  Billboard Video/Misc:
            A follower on Discord commented about that 'Heat' lubrication/lotion concept I use in several animations. That along with the EZ-PZ one, they were meant to be a sort of reoccurring item. Since a lot of people say I do very well with emotions/facial expressions, I had full intent of showing that a lot more. Then I turn around and pick Samara; someone known for being very rigid, stoic, and even.
            Well; Heat Lotion will solve that little issue.
            Then I thought about the small/short ads on the screen I did for Ashley Graham: Black Menagerie for EZ-PZ and Heat and decided to make a billboard animation for Heat. I started it Friday, hoped to get it finished quickly and it just popped right together. So it's a 'Mini Release', since I dropped the Halloween one this year.
            Friend of mine, who has the fortune to get to preview everything as I make them, chose Kasumi Goto for the animation and we both agree the floating car lines turned out really well. Some of you might have seen the rough creation of those behind Samara in a preview.
            I'll be starting the Christmas animation in the next day or so. Unlike other holidays, that's one I plan to never skip. I never did find the right song for my main idea, so alas I'll go with another concept for it.
