L&P says in his patron page:
I don't know why he thinks that that is the only way to speed up and make his life easier.. There's several sugestions we've given that doesn't involve giving render liberties to someone else.
We're trying...
Absolutely just winging it.
Even in terms of story, not just the renders, hence why I've been saying that he needs someone to assist him according to his needs for the next update. The chances of that happening are near 0 which begs the question: why is he so adamant in not accepting help (that does not include any of the rendering + assets) ?
I would happily take his rough script for the next update and shape it for them. Problem is, I don't think there is such a thing. I think there's a rough outline from which L&P boots up DAZ3d and goes, then fills in the script later. This is not a healthy approach IMHO, it's completely backwards. Should know what the characters are going to say and think and do, then compose and shoot. I am perfectly happy to be wrong on this point but I don't think there's much actual evidence to the contrary.
You know something, I never even considered the possibility that L&P is producing potentially hundreds of extra renders that get cut. That would explain why he says that he has already cut all of the unnecessary scenes possible. I mean, I don't agree with him, but if he's cutting hundreds of images then he could have an unconscious bias that everything that could be cut has been cut.
It's still really terrible project management.
Right, right! L&P is very likely cutting the results of one or more hours of fussing about with 3d models and poses and props and lighting and cameras over and over again. Just sketch out what you need, evaluate the sketches, then build and shoot.
I fully understand (having my own fair share of failings in many different endeavors) that changing one's approach is difficult and disorienting. I do appreciate that my opinions don't count for shit, too. But maybe, just maybe, pulling out the ol' Dixon Tigonderoga #2 and a sheaf of blank paper and spending a day or two planning things out, and then sticking to that plan, could save DAYS of wasted trial and error.
