First Lauren Ashlyn Video Update
Added 2019-02-27 21:56:27 +0000 UTCHi friends,
Based on the feedback I received from most people via comments and messages, it seems like you were most interested in seeing a live action video before seeing the VR stuff, so I quickly changed back gears! Right now, this first video with Lauren Ashlyn is clocking in around 9 minutes (and potentially more). The biggest challenge I am having with this video is producing movement and flow. For future shoots, I think I have solved some of these issues (it turns out, the camcorder I own is quite adept at auto-focusing the tiny figures, and with the right lighting, doesn't look terrible close-up).
I am still working on trying to tighten up the main edit (although the rough cut is complete) and find the right music to convey Lauren's attitude along with what the scenario calls for. The good news is, I finally found a color palette I like for this video! This was something I had been struggling with for a bit, because the video transitions from cooler outdoor colors, to warmer indoor ones, and I didn't want the video to move back and forth between such different color schemes. I've attached before and after pictures below! Some edits are more noticeable than others, but you'll get the idea!
With love always.

Oh totally, once I'm done with the more complete edit, I will go back and refine the color on some of the shots. I was just happy to have found a pallet that worked for all three situations (outdoors, GoPro, and indoors)! Thank you though! I also love her outfit haha, with the tall tee, fishnets, and platform shoes :D

2019-02-28 20:06:02 +0000 UTClove her outfit. Looking freaking solid so far man, can't wait for this one now! There are a few shots where I prefer #1 but overall I think things look better with the tone on #2 though, personally. Still, this is amazing and I'm excited to see more from ya!

2019-02-28 19:41:39 +0000 UTCThank you! You and me both! And yeah, it can be hard to pull off because of the unpredictability of the weather when planning for a shoot so far in advance. Not to mention, sometimes it can be hard to find locations undisturbed from other people haha. However, I would really love to do some type of discovery video outdoors, maybe discovering a tiny town or a group of people outside, or going outside to seek them out. Maybe I can pull something off in the summer!

2019-02-28 03:16:13 +0000 UTCWill Lauren step on tinies barefoot in this movie?

2019-02-28 02:59:12 +0000 UTCOh I didn't know that! I wonder if there is an app or a website that would allow you to see them in relation to your colorblindness. Thank you for the feedback nonetheless! I'm sure you're able to see those elements better than I can!
