Some updates

I've been extremely busy with work lately and haven't had much time to spend on this project, additionally, Patreon seems to be updating its website, causing issues with the messaging system, sometimes messages can't be sent or received, this might have led some members to think I'm giving up this project, if you haven't received a response from me within 48 hours, please message me again.

Also, some may be confused by last post that Niki(Sep25) set was supposed to be one of my last two shooting this year. The truth is, I had originally planned for Niki to take over part of the shooting work, which is why she's served as director or photographer on several recent video set.

Possible new changes

Originally, Niki was supposed to handle the shoot of September, but I still haven't prepared the necessary equipment for her, just spent too much time deciding which devices would be easy for her to operate and capable of producing good image and sound quality.

Initially, I would have her follow my shooting pattern to help her get on track, but eventually I'll ask her to explore new approaches on her own, which might also lead to changes in rewards and tiers(but maybe she can't, not sure yet). I believe she'll bring positive changes to CFVR, help us discover even more outstanding models, perhaps she can even do custom videos for members.

Speaking of custom videos, I still remember asking if anyone want to write script for the S1 clip after a member wrote that amazing script for Shirley(Sep24), but I never brought up the idea again after that. This is because I found that I must create instructional videos with both text and voice guidance for the models, otherwise the results become awkward. I initially thought it was due to the models' stiff acting, but the problem could also be me. Therefore, scripted videos do indeed require instructional videos as support, but it takes time to make one, this is the real reason I haven't mentioned this idea again.

But I'm considering to try this idea again in the video set shot by Niki.

Once I have some free time, I'll focus on building sturdy jump platforms for the models to use, and perhaps crafting some props as well. To make this happen, I need to find a place beyond the hotel room where I can store equipment and shoot. Renting a studio monthly would be ideal, but it's beyond my means. Fortunately, I met a guy who agreed to let me use his space store things and shooting for one or two days each month at a reasonable rate, however, new models might have concerns about the location, as the hotel environment feels safer to them.

These are the plans I have in my mind at the moment, but due to my busy work schedule, I'm currently in a state of utter chaos.

Store

Some of you may have noticed that I finally opened up the shop feature on Patreon, I have only uploaded videos up to September 2023 so far, and will upload the rest of the videos there when I have time, hopefully before the end of this month.

Next few months

It seems that the next few shoots will still be my work, I haven’t invited any models yet, do you wanna see new models or old ones? Btw, during the last shoot, I asked Zoe if she could do a Jirai Kei makeup look, and she said it was absolutely no problem, anyone interested?
