Seeing Old Friends and Meeting New Friends - Introducing Elle McKenzie to ENF

 Last month was a busy one for me shoot wise because unlike my typical pattern of shooting once per month, I had the luck of shooting twice in September when Izzabella Robbins was coming back to my neck of the woods looking to shoot. This time, she was bringing her friend, Elle McKenzie. Elle is a model who often acts in rope bondage scenes. Shortly after I heard they were both coming, another film producer I see in the community, I-Love-Rope-Bondage also told me about how great it was to work with Elle as a rope bondage model and that she had never acted in ENF before. I wasn't sure if Elle would be interested so I had three clips ideas, ones that could be used if Elle declined, and two that could be altered to include Elle as a character if she said yes, much to my delight she was on board for it and the race was on to prepare to shoot a video game parody I had in mind for almost a year, a Resident Evil parody that would become Resident Nudist.

 Resident Nudist was originally written as a POV solo model shoot in which the heroic police character would lead the survivor through a house of monsters only to be stripped and humiliated in embarrassing panties. Eventually she escapes but is naked. Although she is safe, she becomes frustrated at the commune because food, weapons, and supplies are not enough, she has sexual needs. This would lead her to finding one of the monsters and have sex with them, with an amusing end scene where she and the monster share a cigarette in bed right before they are caught.

Once Elle signed on, I knew there would be potential to make this more exciting with the addition of a scientist that leads the officer around advising her to take items. In the original game, you have to carry items to survive, some of them weapons, others are objects needed to unlock traps to get to the next stage. You have a limited amount of space to carry things and some of the challenge is figuring out what to let go. With this idea, I thought it would be a great way to have someone's pants fall down, wouldn't it be funny if in having to carry so many items, her pants would eventually surrender to gravity and fall, exposing her embarrassing underwear?

 Re-writing the script with two characters went by quickly and I loved the revision. I had a hunch that two models acting off of each other would be funnier than someone acting alone. Plus, who doesn't want to see two people get stripped and embarrassed? The biggest pain in the behind was costumes, more specifically finding embarrassing underwear. I had a lab coat and police outfit for Izzie and Elle, but finding embarrassing underwear for each video is a fun, but sometimes difficult, challenge because I do not want to buy from Amazon, Target, or Wal-Mart unless I absolutely have to. So Ebay is where I turn to and have had success in the past. Unfortunately, I've had a few instances where the item I ordered didn't arrive or in this case, was never actually shipped by the time Elle and Izzie would arrive. 

I was not worried because this was a minor issue. Since filming ENF I have had a collection of cute, embarrassing underwear for shoots. Luckily, Elle and Izzie are great to work with because they are also willing to help in this area. When they arrived they each had their own travel case full of costume choices, Elle even went out and bought some cute panties that would be a key part of the story - Lilo and Stitch panties! I don't require models to buy items if they do not have them, that's usually an expense I'll cover. I was pleasantly surprised and touched that Elle bought several items for the videos we planned to shoot that day and the idea of both characters being caught wearing Stitch underwear was an unplanned but very funny idea that we would use in jokes throughout the story.

 

 

If you're an ENF fan, you know that more times than not, you'll have to explain to someone unfamiliar with ENF what it is. It is a conversation I love to have but it is a little tricky to explain that while yes it is a kink that for many folks it is something they find arousing, the tone is meant to be more silly and funny than it is overly sexual. For models new to ENF, I've enjoyed directing them to find their comedic voice and capturing the embarrassed tone. I like it because every model's voice is different and their embarrassment acting is also different. For example, Izzy's improv skills are fantastic, she delivers dialogue in a no-nonsense, take charge way so that when her character gets stripped to embarrassing underwear, it portrays a great contrast with mocking her no-nonsense demeanor. Dr. Elle played a scientist who was kind and playfully mocked Izzy's cute Stitch underwear, as an NPC she unfortunately could only laugh at Izzy's embarrassing situation but couldn't carry any items herself. So when Dr. Elle finally gets stripped, her anger at Izzy is a complete 180 from her nice demeanor that I thought was a great embarrassing choice. Anger and embarrassment are actually two emotions that link quite well and seeing someone angry from being embarrassed is not something I often see, usually it's someone timidly covering up and begging for clothes, so it was awesome to see Elle develop her own ENF voice.

 

With Elle and Izzie having worked together before, it made for great onscreen chemistry. They riffed off each other well, I didn't need to do a lot of coaching with story dialogue, I would give them some general plot points and they would run with it. Their chemistry was so good, I actually ruined some takes because I couldn't stop myself from laughing at their jokes. I still laugh at some of their jokes and to me that is a great sign of a good ENF parody, it has to be silly in addition to the exposure. Dressing up as the tongue monster would also be part of the fun, the hardest part was not being able to see because the costume required two hoods to give me a blank face. Again, I didn't need to do a lot of acting because once Izzie grabbed me out of the closet and pinned me against the wall, I just let them riff while acting as if I was struggling to escape from the clutches of Dr. Elle and Officer Izzie looking for sexual gratification.

 

The tropes I wanted to pull from Resident Evil were stocking on items causing someone's pants to fall, Zombies and monsters ripping off clothes, and navigating through a creepy house with traps that would require people to strip naked. ENF is straight forward to shoot, the fun as a director is collaborating with models with the use of lighting, costume, props, to get a certain tone. Horror is one of my favorite movie genres and this was a blast to problem solve how to get lighting to reflect scary in an otherwise silly video. So if you're a fan of the Resident Evil franchise or a fan of ENF, give Resident Nudist a watch. Both Izzie and Elle knocked it out of the park and this was the second video we shot that night, meaning, you'll another one in the future.
