Captured & Defiant (including short 60fps HD video)

I've been expanding on my little story with Dmitri & Eric and doing some experimenting with creating animations. This is the first time I've ever attempted an animation with a character speaking. After fiddling with the animation in Daz for the past 8 days or so, testing a new automated uploader for the 120 frames needed for a 4 second video at 30fps, 13-1/2 hours of rendering on a rendering farm service, more fiddling and spot renders to smooth out the speech more - I finally had my finished video! The good folks at Infinite Compute who run the Boost for Daz service that I use uploaded the completed HD video to a new service they have which uses AI to double the frame rate, interpolating frames in between and bumping the video up to 60fps!

So, here are nine panels from this part of the story to catch you up and you can download the video to see what Dmitri has to say to his captor, Commander Kwan. Dmitri uses colorful language at times, so one word is silenced.

Enjoy!
