Syra Wolf in "The Secret"
🕑 Added 2022-10-27 19:14:15 +0000 UTCHi friends,
It's finally here. I'm sorry this one took me so long. If I'm being honest, I had a pretty rough year. There were a lot of outside stressors that inhibited my ability to dedicate free time to this, along with some practical problems such as adapting to my newfound hearing loss. However, your support allowed me to feel like I could make sure this clip was not rushed, and I think it came out a lot better because of it. I actually wound up doing two near full edits of this clip, and scrapping the first one entirely and starting over. If I had been rushing, I'm sure I probably would have just released the first one and regretted it.
This is the first clip I've finished since upgrading my camera, and I think while there's going to be a learning curve, I am fairly happy with the quality. However, that also comes with its own setbacks, in terms of things taking much longer to edit and render.
As always, I wrote about some of the positives and negatives in reflecting on the clip at the bottom.
Syra Wolf in "The Secret"
Syra Wolf stumbles upon a group of tiny women their partner has been hiding underneath the night stand. Shocked and appalled by the troubling revelation, Syra disposes of the tiny women one by one amidst a tense conversation.
Contains: Booms/Shakes, Aware, POV, Foot Crush, Finger Crush, Barefoot, Vore/Gum, Text Dialogue Only
Self-Reflection...
The positives:
- Overall third person picture quality.
- I really love the way Syra uses their eyes in this clip. While I tried to incorporate as many as I could, there were actually a ton of those shots left on the cutting room floor that didn't work within the flow of the video.
- I think I've upgraded my text animations. This new technique feels a lot cleaner.
- Outside of a few moments here and there, I think the sound is pretty okay.
Self-critiques:
- On a practical level, I wish I found a way to extend this clip a little bit longer.
- I am really unhappy with a lot of the POV stuff I've had to settle for, in terms of picture quality. The original cut of this video had no POV shots for this reason, but it wasn't hitting hard enough, so I went back and re-edited the clip with whatever I could salvage from the GoPro. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to utilize the Laowa in a way that feels satisfactory for POVs yet either.

Thank you for the feedback! I'm happy that you enjoyed it, and that you found the pacing pleasing! I've definitely been trying to make things more focused and concise, so I'm happy that's translating. And sure, I knew Syra was capable of dialogue, for this one it was just more of a stylistic chocie to try to keep a barrier between them and the tiny women, to reinforce that Syra doesn't see themselves on the same level as a tiny person, if that makes any sense. But for sure, I am actually a big fan of dialogue, despite so many of my videos being silent. I just try to make sure that folks feel fully confident delivering dialogue :)

Realized I never commented on this and thought better late than never lol Absolutely love this video, the filming is nothing short of superb, along with the pacing. It’s VERY rare to find content that’s paced this well, with the all killer no filler approach, I feel like you understand that it’s better to have a concise vid that’s shorter than a long one that gets samey The only critique I have if you can call it that I guess, is that I do wish there was at least some spoken dialogue from syra towards the tinies, mainly bc when you’ve done that in your videos it’s always been REALLY good and added a lot (don’t go anywhere is by far my favorite from you bc of that) I think it matches your style really well. HOWEVER that’s a personal preference and I 100% understand that this is probably a choice lmao, there’s advantages to both. But aside from that, this clip is kinda perfect. Amazing work

Hi Alex, thank you! I'm glad you hold it in high regard, because I hope that I'm still improving in some way(s) hahah. But yeah, I've never seen a video with this type of dynamic before, so I wanted to give it a try :) Syra had a lot of great ideas which certainly helped as well. So happy you liked it!
