Hi Werdandy!
You asked me to give you some feedback so here it comes.
Firs of all, I really like what you made so far! Take anything that I wrote as just my personal views, preferences, biases. And lastly, I can be – and often am wrong.
The second video seems to involve a lot of nudity and the type of censoring doesn't really work well imo. It's still a good round but it doesn't feel like it aligns with your goal to create NN CH. Maybe good question to ask yourself is - does something needs to be adjusted here? The round or the project theme?
I for one still really love StasyQ videos, but it is true that if you want your project to be fully or mostly non-nude, you will be able to use only limited sections of the videos. I also very much understand the pain of having some fantastic parts of the source videos and not be able to work them into my projects for various reasons... so, idk if I have an advice here. Maybe keep those nude parts for some other project or better – the reward round?
The way I think about NN or very SC Cock Heros is that you are basically cutting off portion of the visual progression. In order to create something that is still exciting you have to focus on getting the maximum out of the limited footage that you are left with. You want to stretch that limited visual gradient as much as possible and really focus on creating peaks and valleys, tension and exciting moments.
1) You want to present the girls fully clothed and let the viewer's imagination wonder for a while. You want to build the anticipation of what is to come as much as possible.
2) You want to milk every second of the girls stripping - in the most effective ways. This is the main portion of your limited visual gradient so you want to really focus on it and make it as exciting as possible. You want to tease the viewer to their limits.
3) You may add moments of girls being fully undressed, but perhaps never for too long or in a fully satisfying way. For instance: too hard to see / censored / no stroking section...
Now these are my tips for a round that does include SOME nudity. If you want to stick with fully NN theme you probably need to get even more creative with how you do things or involve some visually/thematically interesting and impactful ways to censor the footage, which would again – create some excitement. I don't think that this small blurring you have experimented with so far cuts it. It might as well not be there and the effect on the viewer and their experience would be almost the same.
Some random ideas IF you do want to use some amount of nudity, which you can explore in some of your other rounds:
- Quick shots of nudity in othervise NN sections of the round. Tantalizing but not satisfying enough. This would probably work the best with a song that naturally supports something like that.
- Increasingly intense stripping section that escalates into a drop followed by a calm section of the song without any beats where you present the girl in her full nude glory. It might be used at the end of the round or followed by introducing another fully clothed girl. In other words, nudity = no stroking, or something like that.
Also imo in a very SC CH you need to treat nudity carefuly. Use it too much and too often, and it will lose its power. When you use it, do it intentionally and make the most of it.
At the end of the day as undeniable_denial said you want to create video that you would want to watch. None of what I wrote is a gospel and in art "rules" are often broken to acheve something new and fresh. Take all of this as more of an inspiration to develop your own ideas, techniques and philosophy around this project to create something that is uniquely – you.
Good luck!
and the beatmeter I'm leaving to the very end)
