My scenes have 2 basic sources
A lot are just playing around with content I've bought and perhaps extending that to a couple more scenes. The others are usually quite large scale projects based around ideas that evolved before and since I started using Daz. These tend to bounce around between stories fueling scenes and scenes spawning new chapters.
Someone suggested my most recent submissions would make a bigger story, and it had already occurred to me that it could be a self-contained story with a fairly logical sequence of scenes. I thought it might be useful for me to log how it evolves and some of the process might strike a chord with others, so I'd write it here.
I should point out that my content library is ridiculously massive, so most of my choices involve searching the library rather than having to search sites for suitable content..
The existing pictures were dirty cops abusing a female prisoner, but it needs to work up to that.
First choice was for opening scenes to cover an arrest. 2 different mountain road scenes can cover that. The girl arrives at a bridge and is told it's unsafe and she needs to take an alternative road. On that quiet road she can be pulled over by police and the story proper can start.
I had the police vehicles so I just needed a suitable civilian car. My first choice was small enough to be suitable for a student, so I had the girl on her way to a drama-school audition. I knew I had driver poses for some vehicles and when I searched I found a car that ticked all the boxes but was a bit big for a simple student. So the story changed to the girl driving to a court hearing where her half-brother was disputing their parents' will leaving everything to her. That might come back in later as a reason why the cops wanted to stop her getting to her destination.
So, with the car poses sorted for the first 2 scenes my next step is to find clothes that can make a good undressing sequence. Plus luggage for the car and the thing I'm possibly missing which is a packet of drugs for the police to find in her car...
