WIP WEEK 40 & 41

• Renders for the changing room set with Linde and Nina are ongoing.
They take approximately 8 hours+ per render. The smaller and brighter the interior, the more light needs to bounce around to resolve.

• Learned how to port things from Blender to DAZ.
Meaning I can create larger cityscapes and fill them easier with low-poly crowds and vehicles.

• Claudia & Alexander Set

This set will be a little different, focussing more on narrative, dialogue and characterization.

For this scene, I have an opportunity to reinforce the narrative and character dynamics with the composition, since it's just a dialogue scene. We have Claudia, the physically larger character but also the more stronger and dominant character and Alexander, the smaller, to-be-dominated character.

So, I'm reinforcing that in the compositions for the audience. Alex gets less single shots, he has to share them more frequently with the environment, the background characters and Claudia. He's more often shot smaller in the frame or with larger obstructions in the foreground and Claudia is somehow always in his shots.

Whereas Claudia gets singles and more powerful angles.

Overtime, I did want to give Alex some more opportunity to show some character, otherwise he's just a character for Claudia to dominate, and I don't want that. So I during the week I started having him glancing a look at the waitresses butt and Claudia's chest. Giving him a little bit of a pervy or horny character. This links back in the dialogue where he's a bit distracted or not taking this seriously, which gets Claudia angry quite quickly.

For the shots where Claudia puts her foot on her crotch, I wanted the first touch to be quite harsh. Almost a painful kick, but the subsequent touches are more gentle. In a way, Claudia's state-of-mind can be read through her foot in this scene. When Alex gives an answer she likes, she'll give him a more gentle rub. If it's something she doesn't like, she'll grip and be more forceful.
