Lauren Ashlyn in "Step On Them"
It is a quiet evening for Lauren Ashlyn as she spends some time writing in her journal, before receiving a strange text from one of her friends. They want to know if she would ever consider stepping on tiny people for money. Initially shocked, she pauses for a moment before her curiosity gets the best of her, seeing where the conversation might go. The two go back and forth for a little while until the terms are agreed upon, as Lauren gets up to see if there are any tiny people scurrying about in her room.
Sure enough, she finds a small group of three stragglers hiding in one of her shoes, scooping them up and letting her friend know she has found some tiny people. Lauren doesn't hesitate, disposing of them swiftly and methodically on film for her friend's liking. After she is finished, she goes back to writing in her journal.

Self-Reflection...
The positives:
- Really stoked to finally have some more representation of Lauren Ashlyn outside of the b-sides, because I think she can make for a very brutal giantess.
- While it might not be everyone's cup of tea, I much prefer the types of clips that build-up to more impactful moments, rather than trying to sprinkle in a ton of action throughout, and I think this one is all about giving the last few crushes meaning.
- I am really happy with the POV steps that pan-upward, where Lauren appears extremely serious and down-to-business, while also picking up the slightest hint of a smirk emerging.
- This one feels pretty believable to me.
Self-critiques:
- In terms of things like text animations and small details, there are certain things within videos that I can't obsess over getting perfect or else I would never release these videos haha.
- I definitely wish this clip had a little bit more action/tension in between the crushes, but I also respected the way Lauren wanted to portray it, which wasn't overdone in terms of teasing, but very matter-of-fact.
- We purposefully made some of the iPhone camera shots look kinda bad because I wanted it to be reflective of the DIY aspect of how a lot of folks come to sell their own content when it's their first time, but when you do that sorta thing, it might not always translate LOL.
- There are certain things in terms of audio that I haven't quite mastered yet, and I haven't been able to find good explainers that would cater to the way macro clips are tailored lmao, since most folks aren't dealing with such imbalances between low-end and normal audio all the time.
