A new ENF/EUF film paying homage to one of my favorite comic strips (pun intended).

Today I released my fourth ENF/EUF Clip Cat Embarrasses the Cartoonist. You can probably notice some similarities between the video and a certain comic strip (emphasis on stripped ;). Yes, this is an homage to the Garfield comic strip. This was inspired by an artist who I will discuss in a moment but I also felt inspired to film this long clip because the comic strip, and Jon Arbuckle in particular, is a good representation of what embarrassment and exposure looks like.

I grew up watching the cartoon and reading the comics as a kid. As i thought about that memory and how it led to my motivation to film a whole ass parody of the strip, I realized that an early kernel kink planted in my mind that helped cultivate my interest in embarrassment came from all of the exposure Jon Arbuckle endured in the Garfield comic strip and the cartoon. I cannot count the mount of times Jim Davis has used the exposure of heart/polka-dots/striped underwear for his characters, with Jon suffering the brunt of it. Even off panel it is implied he is exposed naked and so he should be honored as a legend in the exposed and embarrassed genre.

And again

                                                            No one's pants are safe!

There's a particular enjoyment I have from seeing Jon exposed in his underwear in front of his crush. Again this adds a simple exposed underwear gag into an even more embarrassing and in my opinion, erotic when someone we're attracted to sees us at our most vulnerable.  This is still only half of the story. The other half, is all thanks to an artist, who is also an ENF fan, named Miss Icy

 Look...I did NOT expect to have the feelings I did when I saw this piece on my Twitter feed. I don't think I've had a crush on a cartoon character in a long time but that ended thanks to this drawing of Icy's. I love the way the eyes are drawn, as if she is a different character than Jon, and I love the suave confidence in the image on the right. But knowing who she was based off of, my kinky mind couldn't resist imagining what happens when the same unlucky exposed and embarrassed situations apply to her. So when I decided to make ENF films, this idea was in the long list of ideas I had that I didn't expect I'd ever shoot. I didn't think I'd ever shoot this video mainly because I had a specific look for Jane I wanted to cast and luckily, through the magic of Twitter, with what little magic it has left now that Apartheid Clyde has taken over, I happened to find Izzabella Robbins who was up for the task at bringing Jane to life.

I tried writing the script to mimic several different scenarios I remember from the series. This meant setting up a storyline in which Jane was excited about preparing for a date and in her excitement, would suffer several embarrassing scenarios in which she's exposed. The challenge was in figuring out what sort of accidents could result in her losing her clothes? One thing that is clear is that Garfield was also responsible for Jon's exposure, often times unintentionally stripping Jon by doing something where he is trying to help. So, some ideas I had were Jane becoming so excited she rushes to greet Liz without pants, her cat (Parker) turning the heat all the way up, causing a fire hazard and forcing Jane to rush without her pants fully on only for them to fall. Her top catching fire, and a few other accidents that leave her naked (well I did let her keep some clothes you'll have to see what that is).
 

 The October 17 1993 strip was an exposed and embarrassed idea I liked for decades because it captured a lot of my favorite things in exposure: Heart-print underwear, an embarrassed/shocked reaction, and in this case, a unique scenario that elevates the humiliation, that is, Jon is exposed in front of a woman he would find attractive, which adds to his embarrassment as he would not want he to see him in such less flattering image. How often have you scrambled to get dressed and styled when someone you like asked to come over and you felt horrified at the idea of being seen in just your morning image? I would actually suggest asking yourself this question to get a good understanding of embarrassment, which is "What would you feel most embarrassed being seen in if your crush saw you? It is this strip below that inspired one of the scenes in Cat Embarrasses the Cartoonist.

            

 

 In talking with Izzie about Jane's character, I explained how Jane would meant to be intentionally, over the top, geeky/nerdy/awkward. This was fun to watch Izzie explore as we shot each scene, doing an adapted retelling of a story line in which Jon has a date with his vet Liz for the Thanksgiving episode of Garfield. This was I think one of the first times I ruined a take because I laughed during Izzie's performance. In my attempt to tell a great story, I didn't realize how long it would be. At 19+ minutes, this video is almost the length of a full Garfield episode. I do want folks to check it out because Izzie did an amazing job and I'm proud of what we made, and I also understand it's on the pricier side. My hope is y'all will find it worth it as lovers of exposed underwear and exposed nudity. There are a lot of fun gags in here, clothes ripping, pants dropping, silly underwear, sexy underwear, unraveling, I packed this video with a lot of exposed embarrassed gags that I hope makes the price worth it. Because we needed a voice for Parker, that is my voice you hear. I did read lines during recording but didn't like how the audio sounded and so I re-recorded it in post. I hope my voice isn't too distracting from what you paid to see. 

Cat Embarrasses the Cartoonist continues to fit in line with the weird, absurd, silly mood of ENF that I continue to be happy to make. I feel so lucky to continue to work with amazing talent who get the type of fetish content I want to make. This was Izzie's first time shooting an ENF focused clip and so I hope folks enjoy her performance and show her as much kindness and support as you have shown me.

An epic Final Fantsy style ENF/EUF film shoot with Devious Skunk and how cars were a bigger threat than the weather

Technically I am on a week-long vacation. As an ENF/EUF erotica writer, artist, and filmmaker this just means I use that free time to focus on my kinky projects instead of actually resting. As exhausting as that is, I am so pleased to finally release my newest ENF/EUF film, Embarrassment Quest!

I had envisioned the idea of a Final Fantasy turn-based narrated combat style ENF clip for years ever since I started writing ENF scripts. It was something I don't think I had seen done before and once I made the leap into making films, this idea was at the top of my list. Since it's a fantasy type idea, I knew the character would need to use a weapon. If you follow Devious Skunk you may know that she is a circus performer and in real life uses a whip in her performances. It was no mystery who I was going to reach out to when I was ready to shoot this and Skunk was 100% on board for this epic, silly, and sexy exposed and embarrassed film.

If you would've told me I'd be in the outdoor space of a stranger shooting close up shots of stuffed animals and directing a naked model, I wouldn't have believed you. Finding any shoot space to do these films is one of the most challenging parts of fetish content making. Luckily, I found someone who was kind and open enough to let me book time and shoot in their outdoor space. One of my biggest fears was that it would rain the day of shooting. Michigan weather is unpredictable and it was actually snow in April that delayed Skunk and I's shoot for Officer Undressed. Luckily the weather was gorgeous. I arrived an hour early to block out my shots and also shoot closeups of the Quokka wizard. If you're wondering why I chose a Quokka to be Skunk's enemy, well you might want to check out the ENF Lounge Discord where it was determined a long time ago by the community that the Quokka would be the representative animal for exposure and embarrassment!

I learned a lot from making this film because there was a specific look I tried to mimic. The story was meant to be told similar to how the Final Fantasy games used to do it through blue narration text boxes.

While this was tedious to edit because every scene required adding text, animating it to side scroll and then sync it up with an audio sound effect, it made the actual shoot day so much smoother and efficient because I did not need to worry about recording audio. I could coach Skunk through each scene knowing that all of the actual sound would be dubbed using music. The turn-based style engine in Final Fantasy games lends itself to a perfect exposed and embarrassed clip because it allows for quick jump cuts between being clothed and being stripped.

 

  

Just when I thought things were smooth sailing, as usual, once I started editing, I learned of a whole new unexpected issue that comes up with shooting outside....CARS..

 

Nothing ruins a fantasy style setting like a good ol delivery truck passing by, or a huge YELLOW jeep parked waaaaaay in the distance that I didn't see until editing. Like flies, I couldn't seem to get rid of cars in the shots I wanted, which left me with a few choices, find a different shot at the expense of giving up my favorite, cutting a scene up to avoid the shot with the car in it, or try to manipulate the image to keep the car out of frame. This is why 2 days of editing turned into about 2.5 as I spent the afternoon adjusting frame-by-frame to try and keep the car out of focus while also keeping the shot as steady as possible on Skunk. I won't say it was perfect, but that's been the fun part of filming, learning new techniques to adapt when things don't go as I'd hoped. It took longer to make than my previous films, but watching Embarrassment Quest with sound effects and music really paid off. It mimics a video game and its exactly what I would want in an exposed and embarrassed clip, funny creative ways of being stripped, sexy undies (I'm so happy I got to help make a fundoshi to keep in theme with the medieval feel), and lots of shots of Skunk covering her nakedness in embarrassment. There's a nice naked walk of shame she does that I loved because we got to use the large outdoor space to imitate a travel sequence in RPG games.

I'm also most appreciative of Skunk not just for her awesome performance but her willingness to shoot silly and spicy fetish content. She too has an appreciation for the silly and absurd and when I pitched to her the concept of a warrior fighting stuffed animals she was in. I've said before how you can tell an actor who isn't comfortable acting embarrassed and one who is. Skunk had never acted ENF before but you'd never know. Her comedic expression and timing in these films make both Officer Undressed and Embarrassment Quest some amazing ENF films that makes her characters come to life. She genuinely acts embarrassed, so much so she is able to naturally blush! Apart from her acting, she's also a kind and lovely person to work with. We both laughed, made jokes, and admired all the critters who visited our "set." I guess deer, chipmunks, bunnies, toads and spiders also like ENF. Skunk's fun, playful energy helped me ignore the anxiety I often have when I worry about how the shoot will go and it made the 4 hours of filming whizz by. She's also a creative artist herself and came up with some great ideas to help me make a 10 minute exposed and embarrassed clip I'm very proud of. I hope you get the chance to check it out and if you like it, please leave are review on Manyvids. You can also support Skunk by going to her OF, please do, because she is so talented and I look forward to when I can work with her on another project.
