Process (behind the scenes)

A behind the scenes look into how The Weight of Love is made, for anyone curious. I use Adobe Premiere Pro as you can see from the screenshots above. The pink slides are the images, and the green slides are the audio, and the timeline moves from left to right. The audio is a combination of different sounds, most of them I purchase on I-tunes for whatever the episode needs and then stack them on top of each other and adjust the volume until I hopefully get the desired effect. :)

For example, if Autumn is walking towards Mike in heels and a dress, I might use the following combination:

• Stiletto on Tile (depending on the floor)

• Elephant Stomp (depending on Autumn's weight)

• Brushing Pants/Fabric Pull (for the movement of the dress)

• Gooey Splat (mixed with the other sounds to help give the blubbery wobble of fat effect)

• Jello Sound (adds to the jiggle effect)

• Flesh Slap (a little muted for a sort of thigh, or chub-rub sound)

• Leather Stretch (bending over/tightness of clothing effect)

• Dull Thud (for walking/sitting, depending on weight)

The video and sound editing for, let's say a 15 minute episode, goes fast and can usually be done in one day. Creating the images, (which I do with a combo of Daz Studio and Apple Pages) takes up a lot of time, mostly because of rendering, although posing the characters and creating the set pieces can also take time. The rendering of one image alone, depending on how detailed it is, can take up to 2 hours, sometimes longer, but for the most part, (wide shots are faster) I try to at least hit 20 renders per day and I consider that good progress. :)

Basic rule throughout the day is always be rendering, and if not rendering, posing. :) This project is made without the aid of AI, and although there is of course software involved, I hope the human touch comes through and perhaps adds something that AI cannot offer.

Because the audience for this page has continued to grow over the past year, I was able to get far more detailed in The Weight of Love than I had for Plump Fiction, and of course I try to get a little better or learn something new with each episode. :) Thank you so much! I could not ask for a more wonderful and supportive audience!
