Samurai Ciri finished first look reveal!

Hello my Sweethearts!
I'm happy to present you first result of my post-production work. It was hard to choose what image to show you first, so I decided to go with heart. And my heart seeks emotions these days.~

I think this shot shows all things I wanted to see in the photoshoot. Calm melancholic exterior, burning emotions deep inside, stoic warrior spirit in the pose. Simple, yet complex.
At least I believe it feels this way. IF not to you, please share your opinion in comment section, I'm really curious. )

Year passed since the photoshoot, and I'm really glad we got this model for the character. It is hard to express emotions, if you are untrained model. But eventually "emotionless" worked out greatly for this project - just right amount of seriousness. Truly samurai way!

Fact from the set. Me and Tao was heavily ill exactly at that time, but we needed to push forward and shoot it. "Bab'je Leto" (short period of summer warms in autumn, usually september) happens randomly every year, so you need to catch the moment. Moment of warm weather and beautiful golden autumn.
So, imagine shooting your project with high temperature and feeling chill. Oh, don't worry, it wasn't covid, just Flu.
What I understood these days, while scrolling thru photos we took - we work better, when pushed to the limit. Samurai Ciri is overall good project! But it can be seen, that we are not in right condition. Photoshoot could be done better, more creative and carefuly thought out. Just my usual thoughts everytime during post-production.
And It is really a shame, that we didn't have our current camera at that moment. So much more could be done and looked...eh...
And the hughest resolution is only 5k.

Anyway, I like how the project starts to look. I'll share more photos very soon and hope they'll keep your interest until the reward's day. )

Have a great day!
