Hey Director B,
I will post some feedback, but just remember we all have our personal likes/dislikes. So I guess taking all our feedback with a grain of salt would be a good way to look at things.
Likes:
1. The outfits for both women were great.
2. The dialogue was executed perfectly by both women. The highlight of the entire vid for me was Claire's taunting towards the end about how she enjoys strangling sexy agents. Perfect.
3. I liked the overall fight scene. The throat chop move was probably my favorite, the way Danica reacted by clutching her throat and dropping to her knees was great.
4. Being a strangle fan, Claire seemed to take every opportunity to go for Danica's throat, so that was right along the lines of what I like.
Dislikes:
1. I mentioned this in the last WA thread, I think. The sounds that Danica makes during the chokes/strangles is not to my tastes. She does a sort of breathless gasping, which isn't terrible or anything. However, I personally prefer more of a choking/gurgling sound. Some actresses do it, some don't, so it is what it is. Though I will say the last time a Bluestone actress really made those sounds was September Rose in WA4 and maybe Catwarrior. Although, in those two vids I am not sure it is the actual actress making the sounds because the choking sounds don't seem to match up with what the actress is doing on the screen. So I think those may have been dubbed over...? Not really sure, just the vibe I got from them.
2. Probably the main thing that disappoints me with most of these vids is the final defeated pose by the victim. I am a fan of spread eagle type poses like these:

Basically where both legs are limp and the feet are pointed away from each other. For some reason, most poses at the end of these vids have one or both legs bent at the knee and the feet are usually facing the same direction. Hard to explain, but if you check out the KO/death poses in the following vids you will see what I mean:
Catwarrior (strangle and chloro endings), Dark Canary (chloro at middle of vid), Dark Widow (extreme ending), Darkwing Returns (both versions endings), The Trap (both endings), WA4 (both endings), WA5 (both women's death poses), Wondra (both versions endings), WA1 (ending), Final Assignment (ending), WA6 (KO in middle of vid), WA7 (both endings).
None of the above KO/death poses are similar to those pics I posted above, which is what I am looking for. I thought you gave us a great view of Danica's boots kicking during the strangle, but it would have been so amazing to see them slow down and go limp, ending up like in one of the above pics.
3. While I said the dialogue was expertly delivered, I do want to mention that it was a little awkward for Danica to be so confident in the second half of the vid. It was weird that she thought that Claire had no chance against her when, just minutes earlier, Claire had KO'd her. This isn't a big deal at all, just a little strange.
4. Lack of body handling. This wouldn't really be a big deal, but since the death poses are never to my liking, I figured body handling of some type would give me a greater chance of seeing some better limp poses. Whether it's rolling her to her back or dragging her by the arms, I would love to see something like these in future vids.
Anyway, sorry about the lengthy and convoluted post, lol. However, I figured I owe it to myself to at least give you some detailed feedback, since I blow a lot of money on this stuff. I usually end up satisfied, but a little disappointed at the end of most vids.
Being a fan of F/F, strangles and booted victims, this vid was right up my alley. Definitely enjoyed it, but some things didn't align with my personal tastes, which is fine, but I feel that most of Blue's vids aren't aligning with my tastes, so I wanted to post my thoughts.
If you managed to get through this overly long post, then thanks. Take care.
