Good Morning
Here's how it went and what I feel about it.
Found a great apartment in Brno, if anyone wants to shoot here ask me about it, large and with a great bathroom bed and sofa.
Did over 200 stills most different and over 40 minutes video. Shot an intro, BTS, main scene and a close. Bit more than a girl on a sofa. I tried to convey Sandra as a person rather than just another girl doing yet another porn scene. With good editing it should be an enticing scene.
Model Sandra I've used before and she as always was a dream to work with. This is Sandra from before.
For this shoot we went for a sexier more glamorous look.
I still know how to set lights up, get exposure right, know the poses, even though I missed a few, so nothing changed there. Had to fiddle with the color balance and have not checked it yet, but I feel it was right.
As I said on the video I tried to do something more involved than the norm girl on a sofa stuff that's so common today.
Sandra was great, "camping" it up a bit though she still came through strongly, doing the intro segments I feel she's more real when she did the porn part. Sandra definitely did a few fake orgasms in the middle and most certainly had a few real orgasms towards the end. Sandra worked up a nice sweat on her body and face. At the end Sandra was slightly less bouncy and breathless than when she started.
We had a great time, for the stills Eva and Reggie were there as Sandra like an audience for them. When it came to the video I asked her if she wanted it to be just me and her or the others to stay and Sandra without hesitation opted for just us two. More intimate, so Eva and Reggie went for a coffee.
I'm glad I was able to get this shoot under my belt. It's been a long time laid off and this is another step up the ladder towards full recovery. Physically I was shattered at the end and when I got home went to bed soon after.
Taking the equipment into the location, setting lights and arranging the room was physically exhausting. Shooting the still took even more out of me and I needed to take 2 5 minute breaks. The entire thin took from 12.00 to 6.00. Yes we were taking it slow, I doubt if I could of ever of shot it faster. Just don't have the strength now.
I know I missed a few poses and afterwards was thinking about what I missed.
The video I feel I got the framing, sequence and posing correct. As I said last night was using a loaned camera and was familiarising myself with it. It looked good via the eye piece and on the small camera screen. Should of had a monitor with us. Stupid of me.
Saturday morning as I was checking the equipment before leaving, the independent mike went down on me, it worked in the week, on the test prior to leaving home it went down. Sold the back up mike we had so had to use the on camera mike. Not happy with that.
Not having a monitor was stupid and my mistake. 3 years out and used to working in a studio, still no excuses.
I think at one point shooting the video when I was clearly running out of steam I put the camera on stand by, put it on the floor and flicked it back on while I took a drink of water. Fabian's editor needs to take that part out, it's only the filming the front base of the sofa so no need to leave it in.
Over all considering my physical capabilities and being out of the game for 3 years I'm satisfied with what I did, without seeing what I have done. This is all based on what I feel. Never was pleased with what I shot and always felt I could do better. Been a trait through out my life. Satisfied and pleased are two different things.
Is it as good as what's on the site, well that awaits members decision. I feel this is a better way to shoot solo girl content.
