Back from location

We just got back from a fantastic location shoot with Ariel, Katy Cee, Natalia Forrest and Temptress Kate. I’ve posted a few samples, behind-the-scenes shot and out-takes on the member’s area, and some samples on the forum here. Check them out… full sets coming as soon as we’ve had chance to back them up and unpack!

As you may have noticed, I have a foot fetish, and as a dominant sadist, the purest expression of that is bastinado, falakka and foot torture. It is one of the things Ariel and I like most in the world 😉

We were nervous but excited when we set out to make a film centred around foot torture and punishment. Because it is really our thing, we wanted to try to do the very best job we could. That’s why it was the first feature we shot with our RED digital cine camera, because we’ve finally got the techie kit that’s capable of bringing the images in our heads to life.

The development of the script was an interesting process. Although it is our fantasy, we wanted to hear from as many other bastinado fans as we could. We got lots of inspiration from the emails and the online chat sessions – many thanks to everyone who pitched in! We hope you like what we’ve done with your ideas and suggestions!

All that remains is to let you watch the film for yourselves. We really hope you enjoy it- please do drop us a line to let us know!

Cheers, Hywel & Ariel

Day in the Life – in Post Production!

Hi All,

We just got back from a week’s location shoot in Somerset with awesome models Scarlot Rose, Ariel Anderssen, Hannah Claydon, Sophia Smith, Anita deBauch and Temptress Kate. As part of our trip we shot a feature set in the world of “Slave Auction”, provisionally titled Day in the Life.

Post production will take us a considerable number of months- even transcoding the footage so we can edit it will take two solid weeks of CPU- but to give you a taste of what’s to come, here are a few framegrab stills from the film!

Cheers, Hywel.

Welcome to the new-look blog!

Welcome to my new-look blog!

As Apple have decided to kill off the hosting, comments and web design software for my old blog (nice one, Apple!) I’ve decided to take the opportunity to move to something more professional. Hence, the new-look blog and website.

I’ve also decided to rationalise our blogs by merging the HywelPhillips.com and EleganceStudios.com blogs. New EleganceStudios.com blog announcements will now appear here. I’ve imported the old ES blog posts, but the old HywelPhillips ones can’t be handled so easily. You can find an archive of those older essays in the “Archives from old blog site” link on the left.

Cheers, Hywel
