Working on a new Elvira render

[OldGeezerArtist]

I'm trying to put together a new Elvira 3D render of everyone's favorite Mistress of the Macabre. What I'm trying to achieve sounds simpler than it is: Elvira facing a village mob holding torches and pitchforks while she's tied to a public stake to be burned as a witch.

Mob scenes are always a PITA. What's the camera angle going to be, behind the villagers, behind Elvira, or something else?

Not only that. Posing all those characters is bad enough, but you have to do it while your PC slows down more and more and then you have to ignore the death rattles of your computer.....

I always wondered what that sound was

The camera angle I'm "trying" to get is close to ground level slightly angled upward facing Elvira's front and left side. I've got her pose and outfit in place. I'm currently working on the primary antagonist that I'm planning on being on a platform with her holding a book with a gold cross on its cover. He's to be dressed in vintage attire. I found some silhouettes of pitchfork and torch holding mobs I plan on billboarding in the background area and I hope to render a couple of characters in the foreground to give the illusion that the viewer is part of the crowd witnessing the execution.
