Good morning everyone,
Welcome back to There She Grows. Today, we’re going to examine “Battle Of The BIGS SFX – Mandy & Divina” by Bratty Foot Girls studio (a.k.a. XBrats). This review was requested by an anonymous blog reader in late April 2023.
Battle of the Bigs was released on April 6, 2023, and has a 9-minute runtime. It features Mandy Wolf and Divina Charisma and was produced by the owner of Bratty Foot Girls studio, Jason Ninja. (SIDE NOTE: Click here to read an interview with Jason.) Both Mandy and Divina have performed in multiple productions from this studio.
The plot is simple and straight-forward. One woman uses a growth device against the wishes of the other. The second woman is then forced to also grow in order to confront the first. Eventually, one of them decisively defeats the other.
There were a lot of things to love about this production! Jason’s videos are a step up from the average at Clips4Sale and this particular video was no exception. I prefer clips, such as this one, which incorporate special effects over unedited clips showing a pretty woman eating a Gummy bear in her room and unconvincingly asserting that she is a giantess.
My favorite aspect of this video was a particular shot in which one of the ladies is growing into a giantess. According to my conversation with Jason, this effect was achieved using a small pilot-less aircraft (a drone) and required a few attempts. This was Jason’s first time attempting such a shot and in his words “… that entire clip was borne from that one idea I wanted to try out… “
Additionally, there was background music and sound effects which were in keeping with the action and helped drive excitement. There were three growth sequences (including one person who grows twice!) and visual effects added in post-production such as electric lines around growing women and powerful punches like the one in the following screenshot:
Before I address negatives, I want to clarify why such inputs are given. The intent is to give constructive suggestions which are within the ability and power of creators to implement. It would be awesome if Jason had 100 extras (performers without dialogue) to run around in mock terror on the streets surrounding the house and pretend that a giantess stood amongst them. However, that would require a lot of money and resources which are beyond the reach of a one-man operation. Such a suggestion would be unhelpful.
In contrast, recommendations like removing jewelry after a giantess has increased in size and burst out of her clothes are easily achieved and cost nothing. Of course, the devil is in the details, and sometimes it is debatable how reasonable a certain suggestion may be.
The rationale for giving constructive inputs arises from my own experience. I once submitted a story to a science-fiction magazine. The only feedback was that my submission was not what they were currently interested in. Basically, that feedback was “You should change it, but we won’t tell you why.” That was unhelpful. How could any author improve their efforts based on such ambiguous input? There is a not-insignificant chance that changes will only make the story less likely to be published. Maybe I add more cowbell when the editor wanted less. Therefore, in order to be constructive, I try to give comments which are useful.
Keeping that in mind, let’s examine what might be improved. Jason admitted that he had to rush the green screen due to time restraints so there were issues keying the footage. Accordingly, outlines were a little rough and pixelated. Obviously, if more time had been available to refine the chroma keying (a.k.a. green screen) then the final product would have been improved.
My next suggestion may push the boundaries of what is reasonable. In the aforementioned drone shot the airborne platform slowly raised up from roughly eye-level to far above the top of a home. This represented the changing perspective of the growing woman. As the drone was lifting up a car was driving on a road heading toward the filming location.
This would admittedly be difficult, but I would have loved it if the car had suddenly and noisily slammed on the brakes. That would sell the illusion that the driver was reacting to a woman who was becoming impossibly tall and still growing!
Now, to be clear, this suggestion could be a pain in the ass to implement. Timing would be crucial and more than likely several takes would be required. It would be dangerous to stop suddenly if someone was driving right behind the car in question. Thus, the car might have to make more than one pass until the road was clear and there was no traffic. Might be hard to hit the correct mark and have the small pilot-less aircraft raise up in the air at the same time as a motor vehicle moves toward them.
Alternatively, and easier to pull off, have an individual stand at the corner and point at the drone (which plays the part of the growing giantess) when they see it. That would be less difficult because timing would be unnecessary. All that would be required is for one person to watch for the drone and then point. Adding extra people and forming a small crowd to react to the growing giantess would be even better.
The only other recommendations would be to add nudity and sex. Additionally, there was no building or clothing destruction. However, this was about fully-clothed fighting, not bare-naked loving.
Overall, Battle of the BIGS is strongly recommended for growth and giantess fans! It can be purchased for $11.99 at the following link: https://www.clips4sale.com/studio/40537/27384211/battle-of-the-bigs-sfx-mandy-divina-hd-1080p-mp4
That’s it for today folks. It’s hard to say what next week’s review will be. There are ominous developments happening out in the cold, unforgiving cosmos, far from Earth. Strange signals are emitting once more from the Ghost Head Nebula. Ominous deeds may be forthcoming from the dastardly Solomon E…
