Talking **Possible Spoiler** you've been warned 3 hours after I originally posted this :)

BudapestSwopeJr. & all @TaylorMadeClips.com involved,


Veronica's Growth:
Not the best but not too bad to be honest. Plot was a big plus and starting the clip with someone anonymous pouring the 'solution' onto a cloth kinda peps up the suspense level. What its missing?: rippage from clothing waist-down, shrunken necklace and glasses, smaller white top after the first spurt. Didn't think the 'poof' style of the second spurt was too detracting and it made me wonder how you guys would've managed to shoot a sequence after that of her bursting out of her place . I really liked the way the first spurt went though. Kudos for how you tightened her top as she slowly inched upwards, popping of the buttons is always a plus as well as the sleeve slipping up her forearm (just be sure to slip into a smaller shirt for accuracy). Though split second in length, the snapping of her bra in 3 places was very nice work and imagine not the first effect to think of doing (usually its just one clasp).


Star's Growing Envy1: YOU ARE SOOOO EVIL FOR MAKING THAT TO BE CONTINUED, LolololololololoL. :-P
Deviously genius move though, now I'm foaming at the mouth for the second clip. Why? This one was an amazing leap forward in *continued quality, new perspectives, methods, at a loss for words. No offense to Taylor, but I'm not a big boob fan but when the clip came to the part where her skirt shrunk above her waist (or as Star put it her ass was growing) and her panties snapped, I'd have to admit I'm an ass man :-P (shhhhhh don't tell anyone). Seriously this clip should be a bench mark for all future clips in many ways so I won't bore you trying to pick them all out.
Instead, here's some of the moments/effects I really liked (+not in chrono order+): not only the slow shrinking of her brown bracelet but also the creaking sound* it made before snapping (however you did it, the snapping part was awesome), the initial slow shrinking of her sandal/growing foot was done really well and I was glad to see it's quality fulfilled from the trailer I'd just downloaded, the neat trick of showing her toe ring widening before slipping below her growing foot (would've preferred a snapping-type effect but I def accept it not snapping and just being warped too big then falling off), the dialogue in each major growth spurt was perfect (must admit I tOtAlLy love that style of growth-portrayal of being somewhat frightened, so what if I'm biased/honest deal with it people :-P), and though subtle and short I really liked the way her shoulders grew up into her tightening blue top because that captures the effects of growing bigger and taller simultaneously.
I would seriously give this clip 9.5 out of 10. Why not 10? Consider this part as suggestions for future clips like this one. If you have the model growing while wearing high-heels, maybe try a combo of her feet snapping the straps and the heel part busting so the model 'crushes' the shoe and drops straight downward instead of off to the side. Or how about a change in footwear? Remember the brain-hemoraging last few moments of The Incredible Shrinking Woman where Tomlin's feet were shown outgrowing her pair of canvas shoes. If done with this level of detail/quality just imagine how tittilating that would turn out to be Awesome work on the bracelet effect, so why not apply all the same techniques to a ring? And before anyone speaks up, one is just fine because you only need one perfectly done effect to make a point because beyond that you're only driving your limited budget up the wall. Going back to the TaylorGrowsDrunk clip, I didn't care much for that attempt of showing her ring(s) snapping off so consider this a light-hearted DaRe to challenge your crew to achieve the next level of detailed/quality ring-snapping Also why not try the same techniques and have a simple necklace slowly outgrown And lastly even though I stated I'm not much of a big-breast fan... or To Be Continued's like at the end of The Matrix - Reloaded or Star's Growing Envy pt.1... :-P Maybe I'm just greedy when I say you could've had her outgrowing her top too, LoL. But for what this clip accomplished I sincerely urge you and your team to consider this clip a benchmark for future clips. Almost every growth technique/effect was done perfectly with precision of mind and detailed quality that was worth much more than the $8.50 I paid to download it. Keep up the great work man, don't give up now.





Psssssssssssttt... by the way, in case I didn't prove my last point here is a bit of absolute truth: I was thinking about purchasing one of RacerX's current growth clips but after watching Star's Growing Envy I won't be going to his clips anytime soon. B-)
