Intimacy Direction, Tech & Consent: How Are You Adapting Workflows?

Hey everyone,

I’m Diana Ruiz-Perez, an AD/Producer, and I've been wrestling with a practical question as new tech rolls out. Specifically, with virtual production becoming more common, and even the rise of AI assistants, I'm genuinely curious about how these tools are starting to impact how we handle consent workflows and maintain scene integrity when directing intimacy.

On my last indie feature, we used some pre-vis and basic motion capture for a complicated dance scene, which helped with blocking, but it got me thinking more broadly. Are there specific tech integrations you’re curious about exploring for intimacy choreography and consent tracking? Or, even better, are any of you already using these tools in unexpected ways to enhance communication, document agreements, or even visualize sensitive scenes pre-shoot? I'm trying to stay ahead of the curve and would love to hear practical experiences or even just brainstorms on this.
