The story about my vore videos - part 3 conclusion

 Scene from the 3rd video, "Memorable Meal"

Unfinished 3rd Video

Despite my motivation being cut in half after having the 2nd video being removed while it was becoming very popular, I still had plenty of energy left so I started work on a 3rd video to continue the series.

I released a small video teasing this 3rd part and it had a bit of world building in order to start fleshing out the lore. With the experience that I gained from the previous videos, this 3rd one was shaping up nicely; it fleshes out the main character's motivations while introducing new ones and it's longer and with more scenes and animations, also with better dialogue to boot.

In the beginning my work was proceeding smoothly, but then overtime I was spending less and less hours working on the project. Where before I worked 2-3 days per week, soon I was only working once per week, then only working once or twice a month... and eventually it "fizzled" just like that.

The reason? Just everyday life itself really. Just the necessity of focusing on my day job, family and social life took my attention away from the vore videos project.

And to be clear, it's not like something bad happened in my life or anything; just the usual stuff that we all go through: having to taking care of family matters, having a social life, having to grind everyday for your day job, paying the bills, etc. 

To me at the time this wasn't even exactly a hobby per se, so the only time that I dedicated to it was on the spare-time of my spare-time, in a sense. So in my spare time I would do my normal hobbies, etc and if there was any spare time from then only then I would sit down and work on the videos.

So I guess that when I my 2nd video got killed, I lost the necessary motivation that would have made me keep pushing forward and finding time to work in it, despite the usual daily life demanding my full attention. So what happened is that as my motivation waned through the months, I slowly drifted away from this little project and eventually everyday life just took my full attention, eventually leading me to forget and essentially abandon the whole thing.

The crazy thing? The project file for this 3rd video sits comfortably on my HD to this day, being about 85% completed. Yep that's right, it's only missing a few final scenes that would wrap up the whole video, but otherwise I could release it right now because everything before those final scenes is completed and in its final state providing almost the full content.

On What Could Have Been

You see, back in 2013/2014 patreon wasn't a thing yet so the concept of being an artist and being supported and motivated by the people who directly enjoy your creations didn't really exist (or at least I wasn't aware of it) so the thought of taking the series seriously and dedicating serious time to it never even passed through my head.

Nowadays there's a huge scene (or industry if you will) of 3D animated adult content, with many great and amazing artists creating animations for a wide array of fetishes and preferences, and almost all of them being supported by their fans which grows the scene and helps them to keep making this content that otherwise would not exist.

So every once in a while when someone brings this up to me in private online, I like to wonder if in different circumstances I would have also become a 3D creator making custom content and therefore continuing the video series. Maybe even expanding and covering other topics, migrating to different and better tools, etc. Just an entertaining thought that I have once in a while.

Conclusion

And that's about it really. No big mystery or anything... it's just that all of the circumstances at that time eventually lead to me moving on to other things. The videos required from me a certain amount of time and commitment that I simply wasn't able to justify for something that was supposed to be just a one-off thing, and so I moved on.

Will I ever go back to work on these types of videos again? I... don't know, but probably not. While I'm the type of person that believes in "never say never", if you were hoping for more videos in the series then I apologize but there won't be any more, or at the very least, not any time soon.

To me, making the videos was more of a "means to an end". That is to say, making the videos was simply a medium through which I materialized an idea that I had at the time. It's not even that I dislike creating videos, because I did enjoy creating them for a time, but the thing is that I didn't exactly grew up thinking "oh, one day I want to be a video editor/creator" so I never gave this path a more serious consideration.

Whereas making games is the kind of thing that I always wanted to do since childhood but where always too scared to commit because I thought it would be a waste of time because I had to be "realistic" and just focus on my safe day-job for the rest of my life. It's to the point that I make time out of thin air and excuses in order to find time to work on working on games.

What I mean to say is that now that I have truly found my "calling" if you will, I simply don't see much reason to move away from doing something that I absolutely love in order to go back and starting making videos again. I had some level of fun making videos for sure, but it just doesn't compare to the enjoyment that I'm having now.

And that's the pathway in life I'm in right now. I'm chasing the dream of making games, and I won't be stopping any time soon!

Best Regards,

Laek

The story about my vore videos - part 1

 

Scene of "Unexpected Dinner" - A vore tale of lust and betrayal

Preface

What if I told you that way back in 2013, I uploaded an amateurish 3D vore video to youtube and it somehow has 2.3M views as of the time of this post? 

The video in question: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NERFS5VEMgw

The Setup

The year is 2012 and I'm just your average internet user: perfectly anonymous.

One random day while I was fantasizing as usual about a certain vore scenario, I began looking for a vore video that had at least some resemblance to what I was fantasizing at the time, but... no such luck.

You see, vore videos at the time were (and still are to some extent) generally really short and only about the "swallowing" part itself, which is to say that they didn't have much plot or context behind them, and I was craving for a more "involved" scenario that better suited my tastes.

On a whim, I decided to try and create my own vore video materializing the fantasy that was stuck on my head.

Tools of the Craft

3D Sex Villa 2. A game where you can create customizable people and then see them fucking, either by using pre-built animations or creating your own by posing the 3D models in any way you like, thus creating unique scenarios.

Nowadays this concept is old news; from the dozens of japanese games such as Koikatsu, Custom Maid, Honey Select to even western tools like Valves's Source Filmmaker which single handedly opened the gates of 3D smut to the world... for the current deviant there's a plethora of tools that can be used to materialize one's fantasies.

But back then? 3D Sex Villa it was. This game is ancient (released in 2002 I think?!) and after I discovered it circa 2006, well, suffice to say that I've toyed with it on and off since then, creating poses and animations for my own leisure over the years. I have a great deal of nostalgia and fondness for it.

It's tricky because 3DSV does not lend itself well to creating vore at all because it's designed towards vanilla sex. But it was simply the only thing that I could use at the time because I had the familiarity with it and it was relatively easy to use. 

And so it was that around late 2012 I started working on that particular vore video project. I don't remember much of the details of the process, all I remember is that I had fun customizing the two characters, then posing them and taking the screenshots for the dialogues, and then animating the short clips that constitute the latter half of the video.

To summarize the process and tools that I used:

1. Create custom characters in 3DSV2.
2. Pose them and animate them to fit the scenario.
3. Take screenshots for the still images.
4. Capture the animations with Fraps for the short clips.
5. Gather relevant audio and music from around the internet, but mostly from freesound.com.
6. Put all those assets into a video editor (Sony Vegas in my case).
7. Edit the video with dialogue, transitions, etc in order to create the final product.

The 1st Video is Completed

After about a month or two of this work I had completed the full video entitled "Unexpected Dinner". While even at the time I knew that the final result was at best an amateurish piece, I was honestly very happy with it nonetheless because I managed to "quiet" the urge that I had to create it as it closely resembled what I had in mind.
