Directing and acting in a Shego ENF Clip

Now that Shego Stripped to her Tightey Whiteys is out, I'm delighted to talk about the experience in which I got to collaborate with my friend Violet, which included by on-screen debut. When I set on this path of making ENF films, I didn't have a strong urge to be on screen, however I also didn't want to rule it out. The main reason for staying off camera was because I still have a day-job that requires privacy, not just for myself but also the other people I work with. The reason I did keep my options open for being on screen was that I did want to be able to showcase my work, mainly rope bondage and I felt that in the event of a performance or on screen full-length video, I wanted to be able to be on screen but hide my face as well.

I did not have an exact idea in my head but knew i wanted to have some form of mask that covered my whole head. I'm so grateful for the existence of Phant0masy, an artist who hand crafts the most gorgeous masks I have ever seen. I can't recall how I find her Instagram page but as soon as I saw demos of her full face-covered masks, I immediately fell in love and knew it was something I would want to represent myself. I ended up choosing the High Court Mask because I liked its elegant design with the chains along the front and the decorative pattern. The amazing part about these masks are that it covers the whole head and can be large enough for people who require glasses. The other cool part about the site is it has a simulator that let's you pick colors and other specific visual choices before sending you a PDF of what the mask would look like, so you know what you're getting before you place an order.I wanted a simple black and white design and what I didn't know until after I did my first self-portrait shoot was that this design allowed itself to absorb the colors of whatever lights I used. To my surprise, the reaction to this was quite positive, so much so that my friend Violet asked to do a scene with the mask. Before  I move forward with talking about the shoot, what I will say is that buying a mask from Phant0masy is worth the price and wait. It takes about six months to make but this is because of the skilled hand-made design of the mask. Not only was it worth it for me but I'm already thinking about buying another in the future. 

 

 Violet and I have played  a few times together. I was delighted to get to role play and don the mask for a scene. Our humiliation scene isn't ready for release yet, but you will see in the future. Because I usually shoot two videos in one block, I did want to shoot a second story involving the mask. This is where the idea behind Shego Stripped to her Tightey Whiteys formed. I first saw Violet cosplay as Shego when she posted it on her website (she has requested not to share the link). 

 

As always with cosplay artists, I'm blown aware at the precision and accuracy of their detail to creating a real-life replication of the character they portray. Shego has been given the spotlight in several embarrassed naked art pieces within our community.

I suspect the reason why Kim and Shego both are popular in our community is because the Spy-themed cartoon has a lot of embarrassment gags, most famously this gag in which the character Ron loses his pants after he fires his grapple hook gun.

 

I first got to enjoy the fun of shooting cosplay with my friend in our Tarot the Black Rose themed shoot. Shooting cosplay is such a joy to me because it's still fun to play pretend and, there's an added challenge of getting shots that mimic the mood and tone of the original character. This usually requires making sure lighting and colors match the art tone. After the Tarot shoot, I knew I wanted to try shooting a cosplay type ENF clip in the future. Because this would be my first time acting on camera, I was admittedly, a bit nervous. I had always envisioned being off camera, speaking a few lines at most but my preference is always to have models acting solo with very little dialogue coming from me. I do think that when I do give some dialogue, it does help the model react to something and the idea of being a character that can be both dark and silly gave me ideas for different embarrassed and exposed possibilities.

 

 

Since Shego is a cartoon character, I wanted to tell a cartoon-like story with lots of classic embarrassment exposure gags based on a science fiction genre. This included X-Ray glasses, magic hats, vacuums, and the device that set me down my creative path as an ENF storyteller - Time Stop. The setup for the jokes was easy and so was working with Violet. The new challenge I had was figuring out how to film and direct when I have to be on camera. Prior to this shoot, directing was straight forward, it wasn't easy but it was straight forward. I could ensure I had the exact shot I wanted because I was watching in real time what was captured on camera, making adjustments as needed. 

 With being on camera, I had to make sure the camera was positioned in frame and that both of us would be on camera. Violet helped with making sure I was on frame but once I hit record, it was a trust game to reassure myself that we had what we needed. The other challenge was sight. I'm actually wearing two masks, a hood to cover my head so that the Phant0masy mask I wear isn't obscured by my hair. The mask itself is a mesh see-through fabric, but it did require a lot of squinting to make sure I was positioning things where they needed. Overall it was a fun and new experience to be on the other side of the camera while directing. In the style of silent comedy, I opted to avoid giving myself dialogue, making my character a silent, almost cartoon like foil to Shego's plans. In looking back, I do like this approach because of how much it calls back to the classic embarrassed exposed gags in cartoons. Violet also did amazing becoming angrier with each humiliation she endured. I had less familiarity with the character and put my trust in Violet to depicting an accurate portrayal of Shego. In her other videos, Violet also acts in more of a Domme role, which is why she is a great actor when she shifts from a dominant/bossy role to a more timid, embarrassed and humiliated silly persona once stripped. This made it a great story because in the cartoons, Shego is arrogant and cocky, so to watch her lose her dignity each time makes this an embarrassed underwear exposed story that we hope you all enjoy. 

 

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. 

New things to come!
