New BTS Camera, Live Action is a Go + more! (Patreon)
Content
As of today, Live Action content is back in production and moving along again. I was able to get updated consent forms, and Mitzi is the first to return. We filmed for a little while today and I think it went well. One is 98% POV. One is mostly figurines. I am going to be working hard to get one of these clips out this month. We're planning on filming again in a couple weeks, so you'll see a lot of Mitzi in the near future.
I'm working on getting the new consent forms signed by more models, but so far I still have some stuff that I won't start editing until I have signatures from those models. I can't assume something will be signed before I have it in hand, otherwise I could spend weeks editing a clip that I have to simply scrap.
Today was my first time using a new camera setup. I now have a new setup including a new main camera and a tripod-mounted camera, with the specific purpose of being for behind-the-scenes stuff (and the less specific purpose of capturing some alternate angles.) I won't be uploading the entire raw-feeds, partly because I'm not too keen on including myself in the footage, but it does give me an opportunity to catch more moments that I'd otherwise miss. I think this will come in very handy in the future. Also, I think you should notice some improved image quality in the above previews. (To an extent. Today was just a first step.)
We're bringing props and costumes into the mix in order to create better character-driven scenarios. This may sound fairly basic, but was not something I could necessarily afford in the beginning. This should really help to bring more scenarios to life. It will take a little time but you'll start seeing some of that in the near future.
More news soon. Thanks for being patient with me while I get through some of the red tape of this month!
