I’m afraid the special is only on Jasmine’s site(the video is up today, the pics tomorrow). Preview below. I don’t have processed versions of the latest sets of Jenny & Sabrina yet I will post them when I have had chance to look through them.

… well, I’ve just seen King Kong.

Naomi Watts is GORGEOUS, and the barefoot bondage scene is great! Well worth watching.

Can’t really say the same for the rest of the film. It felt VERY slow to me (it is over three hours long, whereas the 1933 original is a much pacier 100 minutes). Lots of irrelevant backstory at the beginning, and every fight and chase scenes seems to go on far too long. “If a fight between King Kong and a T-Rex is exciting, a fight between King Kong and THREE T-Rex’s must be three times as good!” seems to be the film’s philosophy.

Shame, because I really wanted to like it. There’s a great movie in there if only it was edited down to a sensible length (but don’t cut the drool-inducing barefoot bondage scene, please! :newangel )

Anyone else seen it? What did you think?

Cheers, Hywel.

I can’t wait to see King Kong! That barefoot bondage scene is in the trailer (and is definitely going to be a freeze-frame moment when it comes out on DVD :jumping ). It is great to hear that she remains barefoot for most of the film!!! Droooool! 🙂

Very interesting idea about re-creating famous bondage scenes. I’ve also got a soft spot for Thunderball, and even more so for the Jane Seymour bondage scene in Live and Let Die. Anyone else got any particular favourites?

This is the sort of thing that should become more and more feasible. I have a studio now, and enough space that I can set up a fairly complicated set downstairs and still have enough “normal” ones upstairs to make efficient use of a day of shooting without ending up with six sets on the same background. I’m still gulping at the size of my VISA bill having got the studio up and ready, but as we get into next year and the cash flow smooths out, I can start thinking about making more ambitious sets and props (as well as more bondage gear, more metal cuffs, more two-girl shoots, better video lighting, and better microphones and sound for the videos).

I’d have to be a little careful how I presented things- don’t want to infringe anyone’s copyright. Plus I don’t think I can manage an animatronic or CGI King Kong hand… but we’ll see what we can do… a sinister human sacrifice temple is well within the bounds of possibility though!

Thanks for posting on the forum. I do try to keep things active here when I can, but when I have been shooting flat out for months like at the moment I end up just answering rather than suggesting discussions… come on guys, let me know what you think!

Cheers, Hywel.

I can’t do it yet, with one thing and another I am still processing pics for December! I will get it up at the weekend.

Apologies, Hywel.

Good point. I’ve bought a bit more leather gear (as I’ve found some in white and pink leather) and some bondage furniture but not bought any metalwork recently. I’ll look into some more purchases. Need to clear my credit card a bit first (moving into the studio involved a LOT of expenses!)

Cheers, Hywel.

Hi Barrie,

First of all, it is good to have you back!

I’m glad you liked the video. I just had this idea to do something science-fictiony and to work with what limited resources I had to make something a bit out of the ordinary. I wish I had the time, energy and resources to make every video as good as a short film… at the moment, that’s a little prohibitive but I’m trying to substitute cunning for funding :oz :singhappy

I’ve got several more ambitious video projects in mind- Ariel and I are discussing a short bondage film (by which I mean something with the style, pacing and story of a “proper” short film, only with a strong bondage element). That’s at an early stage of planning but I hope to be able to film it in November and December.

I’ve got another two science fiction videos already in the can which are waiting for me to have enough time to assemble all the additional elements to turn them into a finished product- one with Francesca Lee where she had a silicon chip implanted into her head, and one with Petra and Alexandra where they fight in a high-tech televised arena. Both of those are crying out for some editing time and some additional footage- I’ve just got hold of some stock footage which I think can be pressed into service for a lot of the effects-based shots I have in mind. (The Starship opening of the Jessie video was me using Bryce 5 to design and render the scene, but that’s probably prohibitively slow for the sequences I want). I may have found someone to help out with the video editing, which would help a lot too- if I could say want I wanted and have them make a rough cut of the edit, then go through it with them to fine tune it, it should make for much faster progress than me having to sit down and devote a couple of days to editing just one clip.

As you say, ambition is good. I’ve got lots of ideas and plans for when the studio is really in full running order and I have a bit of help behind the scenes on the editing etc.. Belle is a pretty good cameraman, and Ariel trained in camerawork at drama school, so I’ve got a bit more of a “crew” I can call on- just need to round it out with some help on the editing.

Watch this space!!!

Cheers, Hywel.

Good timing, I just finished the processing for October (in the nick of time this month too!)

Here we go:

Cheers, Hywel.
