Hi Hywel;

I don’t know what it is but that pink rope really suited Amy in yesterday’s video (the one with her tied on the center island of the incredibly nice looking kitchen – not that I was particularly concentrating on the kitchen you understand but I notice these things!) isn’t it funny how certain models seem to really suit certain colors, Fi Stevens looks really good with blue rope and Amy certainly seems to be a pink kind of girl! Watching the video though a few thoughts came to mind and I was wondering if everyone else was thinking the same.

For me the music kind of detracted a little from the overall video. Though I have no problem with there being a music backing track, and indeed in the past you have deliberately gone for a music video style video in which a strong background track is kind of the point, in the context of yesterdays video (bound girl struggling to escape) I would have preferred the music track a little quieter in the background such that we could hear her grunting and groaning through her gag as she struggled against her bonds. There was a brief frustrated groan towards the end of the video but the rest of her tussle was lost behind the backing music.

Another thing, and this is a more general observation/issue, in videos where the model is tied up and you are just filming her struggle I wonder if there ought to be more context or some progression throughout the video. In yesterdays example Amy struggled for 5 minutes and got nowhere. In fairness the ropes did look as though she wasn’t going to be getting out anytime soon and watching the video I suspect Amy realized this quite early – leaving her with the rest of the video to ‘go through the motions’ (sorry). Unfortunately this meant that, but for moving from a lying to a seated position, nothing really happened in the video and by the end I was beginning to want a little more. Could you in future when going for this sort of (non-story lead?) video either introduce some challenge (I remember Louise trying to eat a banana whilst hogtied) or give the model a bit of a start when it comes to making good their escape (perhaps the one accessible rope idea you have used in the past?).

Anyone got any thoughts on this?
