Sorry for the delay, @mordvekna, I was on vacation. I’m using a program called Reallusion. 🙂

An update for those who commented on this…so the day before yesterday I was on my way to a restaurant for supper and stopped at a shop I’ve always wanted to visit but which was always closed. They were only open for another 5 minutes, so I immediately went to some shelves with rows of statuettes that had intrigued me from outside, and then I saw one on the very top shelf that was eerily familiar. I didn’t have time to get more information, so I took a picture with my iPhone to examine after supper. When I got a chance to look closely at it, I was stunned. The statuette which had caught my eye was a representation of the very same Goddess I saw in my dream years ago (see the above description). My research hadn’t taken me far enough back in time; Her name is Oshun, the Yoruba Goddess of love, beauty, and fertility. 😮 I occasionally dream of things that eventually manifest in the waking world…but I wasn’t expecting this. 🙃💗🪞🌼🌻

Nicely done. Good animation.

Thanks, @ferkixlll! It’s just a light test for Erika. Since her skin is dark and she wears black throughout the film, any nighttime scenes will be a bit like filming the metaphorical black cat in a dark room that is discussed in the film itself. The black and white test made it clear that the exposure levels have to be higher to catch Erika’s expressions and movements, as well as some creative lighting as shown in the video here. 🤗💗

@nebula - yes, and this is just a storyboard version. I’m learning animation techniques on new software that should enable me to make it MUCH better and produce the film more rapidly and more efficiently. Thank you for your feedback!

This really is very exciting.

Most excellent 😺🤘🤘

Progressing nicely.

😘

BRAVA, BRAVO!!! Well done, @dhyani   ROCKIN Clip, Guys!!!

You should read the story. lol! I should post it, especially since it’s been published. Thanks for the feedback! 🤗💗

Fulfillment! 🤘👏👏👏🤘😃

Here... See if this YouTube link still works... YOUTUBE.COM/WATCH?V=KC0LRRCKThFG0  Its from a show I did a few years back @ an annual RibFest. You cant see me too well cuz the vid was shot from a mounted tripod set up a ways from the stage. But you can clearly hear me BACK there. And perhaps I'll see if I can find a drum cover of an Iron Maiden track. But I dont have too many clips of me out there (that I know of anyway). And I too have seen RUSH many times. I never walked out disappointed EVER.. They freakin ROOOOOOooock!!!

And Id love to see you play "back there" sometime. That'd be really cool. And as far as "more skin." Oh boy!!! I await w/ lustful anticipation, @dhyani  Im certain you look astonishing, Your Grace. Cuz you look pretty hot w/ clothes on. Just sayin...

Great job@!

Getting that hidden nerd curious.

Brava!!! Brava!!! This ROCKS, @dhyani

@sunshinelove & @metalfreak - thank you 🙏! The full version of the song sampled here will be a bit faster...and quite a bit louder, lol! 🖤💔🔥🤘
