Weekly WIP #27

Valentine's Day is the first animation I've actually managed to set up in the cinematic way I've been meaning to do. For some reason, several projects before were suppose to have this format and just never did. I kept doing the single shot, long animation. That works, kinda, but has limitations. Camera angles are often decent, but not great. It's extremely tedious to get as much as possible to work from any angle since it's a single shot. It practically screams "Use Pan Cameras ONLY!" which I adhered to. But no more. The 3 shot introduction scene I have for Valentine's Day is fantastic (and I am my own worst critic) compared to most other projects; and it's just the very start of it. Also, as I said in a previous Weekly WIP, I think Horror might be a genre I do well with. I seem to get the ambience set nicely. The top left picture shown below is from the intro. What is Jill looking at, you ask? Craziness. Zombie craziness.

The Duo is a little loop I made based off a gif I came across. Decided to use Batgirl and Supergirl for it, since I'd used neither previous. Other combinations would have worked; Mass Effect girls, Dynasty Warriors, Mortal Kombat maybe. I wanted to try out the Supergirl though. RedMenace/Smugg model. Super detail. Super nice. Super number of clothing/accessories. Super large in the limited space a project allows. Still, she's lovely. Batgirl is a Lord Aardvark Daz5. The detail is batty. The...yeah, I'll stop. She's a fantastic model as well in her own way. Detail, flexes, rig. She'll be featured in a project soon, most likely. So, there are 3 loops. A clothing-nude fade, a partial clothed and a full nude. And did you hear that? SOUNDS!

Speaking of Sounds. I've hired a voice actress. "Oh my god, Zjera! REALLY?!" Really. Various grunts, groans, moans, muffled 'speaking'. What project will they be for? I have no idea yet. But eventually you shall hear a new sultry, seductive, sensational voice attached to hopefully an animation that is just as sultry, seductive and sensational. I have some ideas...

Speaking of Ideas. I've been playing Mass Effect LE and that has sparked at least 20 new project ideas so far. Yeah, so expect some Mass Effect again soon. I've been working on a few here and there already. Some might be large projects, and some might be akin to The Duo. Some might be 'Part 2' of previous projects. No ETA on any of them. Valentine's Day is the current focus. However, that might change as time goes along. Crossing was, then Hostile, then Crossing again, for example. Always depends on mood and just how well they come together.

Lastly, I paid to have a couple models ported to Source Filmmaker. An alligator clip and high heel shoes. The clip is something I've wanted forever and will allow specific project ideas to finally be realized. The heels were just neat, and I wanted them for whatever. A bit thin in the ankle though, so they won't be easy to use, but doable. Not the fault of the porter, it's just how the model was made. I think it was for MMD. The porter was fantastic, friendly and professional and I'll be using them again.

So yeah, projects going. Ideas forming. Loops released. Voices and models being bought/paid for. It was an interesting week.
