Requests, Ideas and Suggestions

A few general ideas from my point of view:
- Outdoors It's be nice to have varying shoot locations, especially some outdoor shots as things look different in the outdoor light. Possibly in the countryside (which provides a degree of privacy whilst providing a good backdrop).
- Rain Along similar lines a wet set possibly using rain to provide the water (so a shoot in which the clothing gets gradually wetter with time).
- Speech The current video setup (with music in the background) works well, however a degree of interaction between the model and the camera would be nice. Things like saying what clothing is being worn and why it's liked. It needed by a continous thing or present in every set it'd just be nice to get the model saying things like satin and silk on camera and talking about why they like it (something which doesn't really happen that much in normal life).
- Poses I've not delved too deeply into the archives yet but it'd be cool to have a few set poses in videos (such as stopping for a few minutes with hands on hips).
- Roaming A little more roaming (walking around, sitting down and then standing up) would be nice in the video so it feels more of a standalone piece rather than a video of a photoshoot. Along similar lines it's not a bad thing to have continuous video (rather than cutting between shots with short transition segments). It doesn't matter too much if there is a bit of clumsiness on film (in fact it adds a bit of uniqueness to the clip).
- Location A different location in some clips would also be good. Even if it's in the same flat switching to shooting in another room or in another part of the room adds a chunk of variety.
