[MMD][HD] Project Angel - Ditzy's Revenge

If you're looking for Hentai this isn't it either ...


DITZY'S REVENGE

Someone objected to the original video for which this motion was made and flagged it for inappropriate content. Subsequently, the video was removed by YouTube and my account took a strike. Obviously, it's OK for MMD girls to shake 'their stuff' in a manner usually seen in a strip joint and those videos are fine since they are 'clothed', although in some examples that I'm sure we have all seen, 'clothed' is a description that can be best defined as an overstatement. However, I made two mistakes. First I presented Dizzy nude, but as an art performance, though obviously YouTube disagrees, and worse, I allowed her nipples to show. The latter was the problem; if I had been more tactful with my camera angles, the video probably could have circumvented YouTube's policy on nudity, which is not as liberal as that of DeviantArt's.

My bad, and I do not fault YouTube for removing the video, although admittedly, taking a six month long strike along with it has left a little bit of a sour taste in my mouth. This is actually the third strike I've taken on my YouTube account. Fortunately, they didn't all occur within the same time period so I didn't lose my account. The other two hits, believe it or not, was for using music for MMD videos that has been in use for years and then somewhere along the line some policies were changed and it was just my bad luck that my account was picked out for these transgressions. So the Japanese music industry doesn't want me to use 'their property', fine. By the same token, I'm not going to buy any more Japanese music. And since I buy a lot of music online, it's their loss not mine.

As for Ditzy, well, the motion is a decent one and it took quite a bit of work to create in the first place, so I didn't want it to go completely to waste. So I revamped it for use with her clothes on. Which I found out, wasn't simply just loading the motion on to a clothed version of the model. It had to be completely be reinterpreted, plus the motion had to be refined and the camera and lighting completely redone.

I'm happy with this new version. It doesn't have exactly the same emotional impact as the nude version, rather this version is more melancholy, which is fine. It does a good job of portraying Ditzy in a more contemplative mood, even though the same exact lip sync and facials data was used. But, we all communicate using our hands and bodies, and when I tweaked those and changed the setting, the tone of the presentation changed also; which was what mandated the need for the camera and lighting to be completely redone. The edited motion wasn't fundamentally altered either, I added some new things and refined a lot of the old, and it just ended up different and better in some ways I think.

Anyway, if you want to check out the new version, the video link is here: youtu.be/Wrkwno1Prjg


Note 1: I call the character "Ditzy", in this guise she is a character from my own MMD fiction works that uses this model. Properly, her name is "Dizzy" and she's a character from the Guilty Gear game franchise. The motion was developed to portray "Ditzy", who has a very different personality from the game character.
