Shooting an ENF video game sequel

 We're ending the year with another video game ENF parody! I'm happy to release Embarrassment Quest 2, with the return of Riley Jane! Embarrassment Quest was one of the few videos that had multiple positive comments (this always helps my stores so if you like them, please rate and review!). Rather than do another combat based story, I wanted to film another trope in video games - selling items or in this case, clothes!

 

                                             Selling and robbing clothes of townsfolk in Skyrim
 

I feel like I have seen this setup earlier in my days playing video games, but where I saw the specific idea was in the web series, The Guild. In it, one of the players has his keyboard hijacked by the protagonists, and they sell his avatars' clothes until he is left naked although it is never shown. In video games, like in reality, we want to dress our characters, who are sometimes an extension of ourselves, in the best/most badass look possible. This is why I like the idea of stripping away that "best self" and exposing one that we wouldn't want to be seen, because I find that this is best type of exposure and embarrassment. The heart-print underwear is always a favorite of mine, but it was also my nod to a classic video game Ghouls N' Ghosts, where the Knight in that came will be exposed in his strawberry-print underwear when his armor is destroyed by one hit (I just learned that it is strawberries NOT hearts!)


Initially my plan was to have Riley strip in one long cut as she negotiated for the sword she needs to use to slay the dragon. It occurred to me the day before that a more "video game" effect would be a jump cut where her clothes vanish after confirming the sale of an item. In one way, this would make shooting easier because it makes for a shorter take before cutting and moving to the next clip. The challenge becomes in having Riley freeze and then start the next take in as close of of a position that resembles the last one. Overall this went smoothly, with some very small differential placements. What helped as setting up the merchant table and leaving some items in frame that remained still in between each cut.


 

The other challenge was adding the other images/sounds/music to mimic a video game. The first time doing this in Embarrassment Quest it took two days. This time around things went a bit quicker now that I knew what animations I wanted. The added time can be exhausting but looking at the final cut make it all worth it because all of these elements remind me of video games I used to play. 

 

 

This was also the film that made me laugh the most, so much so I ruined some takes because I couldn't contain my laughter. I knew using the confetti popper was going to be funny, but the large amount of confetti that shot out made me laugh so hard. To avoid laughing on take two, I had to look away. Riley absolutely understood the idea, how it was meant to be silly and over-the-top, breaking the meta by writing her as a player who is aware there is a game. 



 

I couldn't wait to release Embarrassment Quest 2 and I hope y'all enjoy that in addition to the first. I don't know when I'll shoot a third sequel but I do have some ideas that I will save in the future because there are so many tropes I can make fun of.

Forget The MCU or DCU, let's make the ECU (Embarrassed Cinematic Universe)

I hope folks had fun celebrating National Erotic Humiliation Day, I have recently released a very personal essay in which I process the painful emotions behind my own embarrassment and shame. It's not exactly a sexy piece, but I felt it honored the spirit of celebrating that people who enjoy this kink have an emotional connection to the fetish as well.

This month's release is the Embarrassed Naked Supervillain, staring Riley Jane. This was the second film I shot with Riley the same day I shot Embarrassed Naked Goth. It was my first time shooting two in one scheduled block of time and I wasn't sure how I would do with getting the shots I needed while sticking to time. Thankfully, Riley was game for it and brought the same fun energy to this story as she did with playing the Dark Empress. As a professional Domme, it was fun to write a character with a dominating personality and see how Riley made her own acting choices to make the character come to life. I wanted her character, The Mad Mask, to be a dominant figure who talked down on her henchmen, mocking them when they are stripped of their underwear before mocking their nakedness. I don't have a small penis humiliation fetish but it was nice to incorporate that kink into the story before Mad Mask gets stripped to her embarrassing underwear.

 


 


 

You may recognize a character mentioned off camera, The Mistress, who I introduced in a story called The Suit, in the Immodest Collection vol 2. This could have been a straight forward ENF clip in that it would have been simple to splice up the shots together for the final cut. I certainly felt too busy and tired at the end of a work week to shoot extra shots. However, in the spirit of a superhero movie, specifically the Batman movies, I felt an added touch would be showing close-up shots of "The Mistress" preparing to fight crime. If you remember the comical way Batman and Robin get suited up in Batman Forever, this is the idea I had when I did some shots of my character. 


 

I didn't have a suit or an actor to play the character, but I knew I could still add dramatic effect with some quick close-up shots of me-er-em the Mistress, putting on a suit just before the actual clip starts. It might not be the reason people buy the clip, but it's a minor detail that adds excitement for me when I watch it through because I wanted to give viewers a visual of who would be behind stripping the Mad Mask. 

 Shooting this scene involved less technical effects than Embarrassed Naked Goth. Both films involve a jump cut between a clothed and less clothed Riley. With the goth storyline, it took more time because we tried our best to match one cut to look like the next to make the time switch seamless. Finding the right smoke and fire effect for the demon magic also took additional time in editing. With Embarrassed Naked Supervillain, it took less time because the lights going on and off took less time to edit. Also, Riley was free to act however she wanted to being stripped in the dark before the lights went on. She used this to her advantage as she came up with some great sound effect ideas to make it clear she was being stripped. I had a great time working with her and it made four hours of shooting fly by because we both had so much fun collaborating ideas. I look forward to shooting with her again and hope you enjoy this latest video.

The Embarrassed Naked Goth video with Riley Jane and my newest ENF Anthology is out!

 It's that time again to talk about my newest ENF/EUF release. This time I got to work with another model with years of experience in the industry, Riley Jane. Riley's clip stores have a wide variety of various fetish content. She had never shot ENF/EUF before but was on board with two scripts we booked to shoot at her dungeon.

 



I always feel a bit anxious working with someone new, I especially feel that way when I'm working with an experienced performer in the industry like Riley. I was also a bit more anxious because this was my first time attempting to shoot two films in one booked session. Up until that point, I've taken my time shooting one clip at a time because I wanted to be patient with learning my own filming process.When I started, I had no idea how long my scripts would be nor did I know how long it would take me to make sure I got the shot I needed. I would usually take 2-3 shots per take because I felt it was effective in giving models a chance to get into character and find more effective choices once they act a second or third time. As I have been filming more of these, I realize that this is not always the case. For some actors, doing every shot 2-3 times results in expending more energy, which can affect their performance later in the shoot. It also takes time. I realize now my scripts at a minimum run about 11 minutes, so the fear of clips being too short was unfounded. Shooting this length typically takes almost the whole amount of time I have booked models. While that was okay starting out, I knew that shooting multiple clips would be something I want to try after it was something Ariel Anderssen suggested to me when we worked together.

Another reason my shoots take longer is that when I write scripts, they tend to be dense in terms of dialogue. A lot of this is due to me pouring out the initial idea on paper, in which the character is not fully formed. This can be hard for me and the model to memorize on the day of shooting and if they are trying to get all of the lines right, one forgotten line means we need to do it again and an otherwise great shot is lost. In preparation for shooting with Riley, I re-edited the scripts, trimming all of the unnecessary wordy dialogue out so that when we shot each scene, it was easier for me to give concise beats of what Riley's character would say. In doing this, I made the decision to forego shooting a second or third take unless a mistake was made. This was risky because if I moved forward with only one take and found out a mistake later (usually a sound issue, something out of continuity, a big ass yellow jeep in the background of a medieval themed story -_-), there would be no way of going back. However, I knew this needed to happen if I was going to shoot two scripts in a quick amount of time.

As soon as I arrived, Riley and I hit it off well. I explained to her a bit more about the ENF/EUF fetish and she got it mainly because as a Domme, she specializes in humiliating folks and understood the assignment. We shot Embarrassed Naked Goth first and it all worked amazingly. Riley got the character and did a wonderful job playing out the vlogger-acting-like-an-occult personality. When it came time to do the exposed underwear scene, Riley did some fantastic improvisation acting embarrassed and alternating between embarrassed poses as she covered up her big, white, strawberry print panties. I also knew things were working because multiple times I had to work hard to stifle my own laughter from what Riley said. We all know ENF/EUF is about being silly and over-the-top ridiculous and Riley delivered some great lines that I think you'll all enjoy.

The concept of the Embarrassed Naked Goth stemmed from an oooooooooooold story I wrote back before I started self publishing called Karmic Balance Dark Magic. In that story a goth woman finds a book that gives her powers to stop time, which she uses to strip her enemies. The demon who possesses those powers eventually strips her, exposing her in strawberry print panties. This was a huge hit with readers when it came out and why I, and others like it is that there's a nice added layer of humiliation when we contrast the dark, brooding image of someone wearing goth attire only to be exposed to be wearing bright, colorful, fruit-themed undergarments underneath the clothes. It's a cutesy look that does not fit with the stereotype of what we see in the goth look. That's why I think a lot of folks in our community like the evil/dark character stripped in cutesy undies trope. It's created a lot and it was something I wanted to shoot as I was planning out my filming projects. Riley also thought the idea was fun and naturally pulls off the goth/occultist look. She also understood how fun it would be once her character is  stripped and exposed.

I've said it before, but I continue to be so grateful for being lucky to work with talented performers who have never acted ENF before but have a knack for it. I hope everyone gives Embarrassed Naked Goth a chance. It is a long clip, and I tried to set a price that is reasonable but also honors the hard work we put into making it. It is 15+ minutes of various ways an occultist who wants to be called the Dark Empress is humiliated as various aspects of her style that contradict this persona (stuffed toys, silly socks, cutesy undies) are exposed.

So please give the clip a watch and stay tuned for Riley's second film with me before the end of the year!

In non film related news, my newest exposed and embarrassed anthology The Immodest Collection Stories of Exposure and Shame vol 4: Bigger & Barer is out! 


 

It's been a long labor of love because I wanted to write a series where I revisit characters from the previous anthologies. This means Erica Hardy from Knockout, The Mistress and Riot from The Suit, and then Caitlin from One Step Too Far and Rana from Indecent Exposure Therapy are all features in their own stories exposed to new embarrassing situations. In addition, I wrote a free follow-up story to The Suit that takes place after that story but before the events in Domina Gets Dominated which is in the next book that you can find here.

In addition, I will be releasing a free story featuring Riot and The Mistress that takes place between the Immodest Collection volume 2 and 4 on my Medium page

Because of these writing projects, I took a month off from filming. So when I resumed again, I was ready to get back into the swing of things with filming and took a step into another area of growth for me, and that was shooting two ENF films back to back.

I previously hesitated into doing two in a row because I did not know the length of time it would take to shoot one clip. I wanted to give myself time to mentally process directing, adjusting lights, and filming and the first 5 films took roughly about 4 hours each. However to be more cost effective, I know a lot of professionals shoot multiple clips within that 4 hour time frame. This makes sense in terms of being cost effective, especially when it comes to booking a shoot space.

So once I found a location I was excited to work with Violet Vixen and Devious Skunk again. My long term goal is to work with a wide range of models but since I'm still new and I have such good fun shooting with both Violet and Skunk, I knew it would be a fun process.

The concept I wanted to do was a relatively simple ENF storyline in terms of setting up ENF gags and a common plot that I see is a real estate agent visiting a house story. The idea is always a model going into rooms with their clothes disappearing. It seems like a basic idea but that was where the fun came in writing the characters. With Violet I envisioned her being a Type A, bossy real estate agent obsessed with a perfect record so that when she is exposed, it makes the contrast nice in terms of focusing on her humiliation. 
 

 

The challenges to this shoot. Which I am still trying to figure out is making seamless cuts between pre and post stripping. For ease of shooting, I break things in chunks so that dialogue is easier to act out and memorize. I also think this makes for stronger performances as there is mental effort put into wondering what the next line is. 

Of course, a seamless cut makes for a smoother transition but here in lies one of the challenges to directing. I could do take after take hoping that the model will eventually get a long page of dialogue down in one take without any slip ups. However, there are other things to keep in mind and that's the models physical and mental well being. It was HOT that day, at least into 90 degree range and to keep sound off I had to switch between turning air conditioners on and off for sound. Violet and Skunk each had to wear business attire and so the risk of doing take after take could have been exhaustion or worse dehydrating them to the point of passing out which I did not want. So making sure water was in supply and also doing as much as I can to minimize wait time wad this shoots lesson, which meant stopping longer to review my shots and make sure I got what I needed before moving forward. 
 




I also have learned more about writing in that I need to trim up and be concise with dialogue. When I write scripts I'm used to pouring the dialogue out as it flows through my imagination, cutting up bits I don't feel are needed later. Much of the extra dialogue is what I think is embarrassing for the character but not exactly what the model will think when they make acting choices. It also adds unnecessary time to shooting because the model wants to do their best to get the lines right and it can be easier on them if I cut out the excess that isn't important. 

I also learned a lot about my own stamina for shooting as it was essentially a full work day. While I was tired by the end, it was satisfying to walk away with two full clips that have been fun editing. Violet stars in Haunted House of Humiliation, in which a real estate agent finds out why anyone who buys the home abandons it out of fear of being stripped naked and spanked. It is available now on my MV page. Skunks film will be not so much a part two and more of a sequel to this story which I will reveal likely at the start of October for the scary season.

As always I appreciate the support from you all and hope you enjoy the latest ENF film!

Getting blasphemous for the 4th of July

I never celebrated Independence Day and today feels particularly surreal in light of all of the recent Supreme Court rulings that empower cities to imprison the homeless, allow bribery for politicians, and for presidents to rule despite being tried for crimes. I've not been a good mental space this week as a result. But, something that gives me a sense of joy, which is important to manage in times of despair and hopelessness to allow survival to fight. So for Independence Day, we're getting blasphemous as I release my newest ENF/EUF film, The Embarrassed Naked Nun

June ended with me feeling slightly burnt out, much of it stemming from work but also in finding what my mental/emotional limit is in terms of shooting ENF films. The most recent film, The Embarrassed Naked Nun was the third film I shot in this month. It of course was fun and a great learning experience and also a bit more exhausting this time around since we shot it at night. As fun as this has been, it also takes time to recover. I love the editing process and it keeps me from being present and engaging in rest on the weekends, which is the only chance I have to recover. With 3 shoots booked in one month I realize I need to find a more balanced schedule with shooting so that it can still be fun for me and also be sustainable long term. 

Each shoot comes with excitement and also anxiety. The anxiety stems from my own worry about not knowing what to do if a shot doesn't work out or if I'm running behind. So that energy carries in the weeks leading up to the shoot. This gets added when I think of location, getting props, and planning my shots. It would be one thing if this was my sole job, but I also work in healthcare slightly over 40 hours. While it was nice to see I could do multiple shoots in one month, I am glad to have seen that this might be my ceiling for now and why for July I'll take a break from shooting so I can focus on wrapping up the Immodest Collection volume 4.

I am glad I was able to complete Embarrassed Naked Nun before this break. This was one of the first shoots I had on my list of ones to prioritize. I have plans to upload things on Clips4Sale and needed 10 videos. Being brand new to this, I wanted to keep story lines simple in terms of shooting, things that wouldn't require a lot of setup/tricks for the exposure scenes. Officer Undressed was easy because Skunk would simply strip in and out of a room that was off camera, which would make editing easier. Ariel Anderssen would strip in real time as part of her story in Embarrassment is Forever and so it was just a still shot on her for the whole clip. 

Embarrassed Naked Nun was planned to be my third film but was delayed after had the confidence to film Embarrassment Quest and Cat Embarrasses the Cartoonist. The Nun script was simple in that the Nun would get stripped as the possessed Matthew turns the lights off. My friend Violet Vixen is someone I met in the local kink community and have enjoyed doing rope scenes before. When I proposed shooting ENF with her she was totally down. She was also new to ENF so it was fun to introduce a new performer to this kink and see how she approached her character. 


 

It took Violet some time to get the sense of her character, but once we got to the stripping scene, she started to get the contrast between the shy-nice-timid seeming Sister Francesca and the kinky, expletive using, sexually repressed  nun that is slowly exposed over time. Violet helped me realize there are a lot of ways to help a performer with character, I used to just write dialogue and plan to work with them during shooting on getting the performance. She highlighted the other important aspect, which was understanding the character to help with the performance. For example, she learned more about her character as we shot the stripping scene and shot the outdoor scene last. She shared that had we shot that first, she would have had less idea about her character and the context of her conversation with Father Dyart. I appreciated her dedication to acting. Having tied with her before, I felt more comfortable trying the pentagram harness and rope panties, something I was most looking forward to because they were the first ties I taught myself when I got into Shibari.


 

The highlight of this film experience was shooting late, waaaaay past both our bed times (I know, we're truly edgy people). I needed the night effect so that when the lights go out it is completely black and with summer, it isn't getting dark until that time. Weather was also a rival as I wanted to get an outdoor shot of Violet under the lamp post, a slight nod to The Exorcist. We were able to get the shot just as it was about to rain but it didn't quite turn out as I'd hoped, and so I opted for an alternate choice, using the still frame of Violet in black and white and zooming in with the audio laid over. As much as I would've liked the outdoor shot, I do like the eerie vibe of the zoom in to her eyes. 


 

I really wanted to shoot this film because for this embarrassment and exposure story, I wanted to focus on a type of embarrassment of exposing secrets, and the idea of a nun having a very sexual side that she's tried to hide that's represented by the racy lingerie she wears was a hot ENF story. The contrast of Violet in her conservative nun habit to her revealing lingerie and then rope underwear I think makes for a wonderful ENF/EUF film that I hope you all enjoy.
