Frogwomen Alice and Meg in “FFM testing” – [38th video of Project F – 6th video shoot]

So, it’s time for the next “Project F” video of the last video shoot from last month!

This is video 38, the second from the 6th video shoot.

In this video, frogwomen Alice and Meg are testing the OTS Guardian full-face mask!

They both take the mask off underwater to put it back on to clear it. Also, the surface valve gets tested underwater.

1080p, 06:18 minutes

 

!!! Please note that the bonus part of this video (the last 2 minutes) doesn’t have any underwater audio as the camera didn’t record it for some reason !!!

Sorry about that! I added some fitting atmospheric music from Thunderball to that part (like in the trailer).

More about that in the text below.

 

Some preview pictures:

+ a short teaser:

The music in the trailer is from “Thunderball”.

The music can also be found in the last 2 minutes of the video.

Video contains:

2 frogwomen, neoprene, 2 smooth skin wetsuits, FFM, modern scuba gear,

no hoods, fins, both frogwomen unmasked underwater, taking off the FFM and putting it back on… both underwater

 

Lethal or non-lethal ending for at least one of them?

Spoiler title
Non-lethal

Background info:

This is Frogwoman’s Meg debut in the Project F series.

Due to special circumstances, she and Alice were sharing the part of the safety diver during that video shoot and also appeared in some videos in front of the camera as you can see here.

Meg has a LOT of professional scuba experience from dives all over the world and she did a great job here in front of the camera as well.

I wasn’t even in the pool as this was filmed as both 2 teams with 2 frogwomen were using both of my cameras to make 2 videos.

It was a little improvised as I wanted to make up for the time that was lost before with some equipment issues.

The plan was that Alice would film Meg.

But Meg had some problems with the equalizing in this FFM, which can be tricky. There is a removable/swappable part in the mask to pinch your nose… depending on your nose/face size.

It wasn’t fitting for Meg, so they improvised and swapped roles to save time.

But not before Meg was taking off the mask underwater and putting it back on.

Regarding the audio issues I mentioned above: I don’t have the slightest idea of why there is no recorded audio in that one part.

It’s insanely easy to work with the camera, one button starts the camera and the recording and also ends it. That button was used… as always.

But ok, it happened with only one clip, so that’s not so bad. Maybe a gremlin was in the camera 😉

Both frogwomen can be seen unmasked here underwater as they take off the mask to put it back on underwater.

Meg also tested the surface valve of the FFM underwater as she opened it. You see the result in the video.

Frogwoman Alice is wearing her own fins in this one.

You can also see Frogwoman Kara in this one for a second….

Where to watch it?

This video will be available again in March in the VIP club alongside the other content!

Here is a quick overview of the content of this month:

…get the video any time you want:

https://frogwoman.org/project-f-videos/project-f-video-packages

You can watch and download these videos in the VIP club, but only for personal use!

Don’t share them with anyone…. anywhere!

It’s pretty simple, I had to spend a lot of money:

All that scuba gear, location rent, and the money for the frogwomen and the safety diver.

If I don’t make enough money with these videos….. I won’t be able to make new videos at some point.

I hope you appreciate these videos and want to see more in the future!

After all, you get all those Project F videos each month  + additional content for just 12 euros (or even less per month if you get into the VIP club for more than one month).

I would say that is quite a bargain!

Why are my videos not on sites like Clip4sale?

Well, Clip4sale are a bunch of cutthroats that want 40%(!) of each video that you sell.

Yes, they offer those videos to a wide audience, but I don’t wanna give someone 40% for “just” providing the platform to sell the videos.

Also, that would mean that YOU would have to pay a lot more to get the videos…

I guess I could have made more money if my videos were on Clip4sale… but well, I won’t do it.

I will check out other sites like Vimeo though, if that would be an option or not.

The future of Project F?

I will release a new video from this video shoot every 2 weeks until 2024 is finished (this one today, and then 2 each month until the end of 2024)

I have at least 9 videos in total that will be released from this video shoot, so the rest of the year is covered with new releases 🙂

Maybe a good idea to now get a 6 month VIP club membership to get all those new videos (plus nearly every earlier release) 😉

Early in 2025, I wanna have the next video shoot in that (deep) pool and then a lake video shoot in the summer (finally!!!).

So, there will be many more new videos for the VIP club for sure!

Frogwomen Alice and Caity in “The Sneaky Frogwoman” – [22nd video of Project F – 3rd video shoot]

So, it’s time for the fifth video of the 3rd video shoot of “Project F”!

In this video, Alice and Caity are diving in the pool with full face masks! They pose for the camera and dive around… but one of them has sinister plans 😉

Video contains:

vintage gear, vintage FFM, modern FFM, hoods (2 of 2), gloves, fins, scuba knife, surface shot

Background info:

I thought about including more pictures of their fight, but I don’t wanna post too many spoilers 😉

Yeah, this video is over 4 minutes and still in the VIP club, consider these 21 seconds as extra bonus for free. I thought about a longer version for an individual sale, but the extra footage wasn’t making this a better video.

Then I thought to cut it just below 4 minutes… but that felt somehow wrong as then something would be missing.

When we are doing the video shoot I always feel a little bit too rushed, as the time in the pool is limited and every hour costs money.

I need to get a bit more relaxed there so that cleaning up the background (pictures 1 and 2) should be done, but I was too rushed.

So, … involuntarily… these pictures include some behind-the-scenes footage …but your focus should be on them anyhow.

The video is mainly divided into 3 parts: Some surface shooting where they strap on their masks (incl. breathing sounds), some close-up footage underwater, and then a fight scene at the end.

I used a (simple) script on this one, and it worked out quite well, the scenario is rather simple.

I want to include real storylines in the future as well, even if that makes things more complicated. Especially continuity errors can happen very easily underwater and communication underwater is very limited… even when you use simple tools.

So, the quantity of video we can film in one session will go down… but if the quality improves on the other hand, that should be a good thing.

Alice and Caity did deliver a really good performance here again and their scuba experience paid off. The vintage Technisub FFM that Alice is wearing isn’t easy to handle with the lower straps and their locking mechanism. It’s also not very comfortable to dive with, especially in comparison to the OTS Guardian that Caity is using.

There is certainly room for improvement here, but all in all, I’m happy with how the video turned out for the limited time that was available.

The rotation periods for each video will get a little longer though. When a video leaves the VIP club it will be out for at least 4 months.

But still, there will be 5-6 Project F videos in it each month 😉

 

Frogwomen Alice and Caity in “Scuba Combat Training 1” (Full Face Mask edition) – [18th video of Project F – 3rd video shoot]

So, it’s time for the first video of the 3rd video shoot of “Project F”!

In this video, Frogwomen Alice and Caity are practicing their scuba combat skills in Full Face Masks.

There are 4 rounds in this video and they swap the FFMs after the second round.

Caity starts with the modern OTS Guardian and Alice with the vintage Technisub mask.

+ a short teaser:

Video contains:

2 frogwomen, neoprene, 2 smooth skin wetsuits, scuba peril, scuba fight, modern scuba gear, vintage scuba gear, double hose regulator, vintage FFM, modern FFM

2 hoods, fins, tank valve closing, forcing each other to the surface

 

Lethal or non-lethal ending for at least one of them?

Well, it’s a training scenario….

 

Background info:

This scuba combat training scenario is a good scenario to film in between the more complicated ones.

The two only got very few instructions so it didn’t take long to film this, which leaves more time for other scenarios.

Both Frogwomen here are experienced divers with over 50 dives (Caity) and over 120 dives (Alice), so this is the video with the most experienced divers so far in this Project.

For Caity, it was her first video shoot, and for Alice her second with Project F as she was in the very first one as well.

As you may know, I’m a big fan of the Technisub FFM and it’s the first time here it was used in a scuba fight video (in this Project).

Both frogwomen mentioned that it is rather hard to breathe in it, especially in comparison to the OTS Guardian.

Well, I wasn’t surprised, as the Technisub mask is around 60 years old…. the modern OTS Guardian has far more comfort to offer.

The OTS Guardian was used for the first time here as I bought it some weeks ago. A rather big investment (even if I bought a used one), but I think the mask looks great 🙂

The Elios suit is one of my favorites, but I really like the Cressi Free Lady suit as well… the black/silver-grey combo looks awesome in my opinion.

I was lucky to get one for a reasonable price, even if it is size S. Now I found the right frogwoman for it, Caity fits into it perfectly.

One “problem” with these FFMs is that they limit the possibilities in a scuba fight. It’s not possible to just yank them off easily like a normal scuba mask or a regulator.

Both are strapped tightly on the face and to pull such a mask off an opponent is rather complicated… maybe we will try that in the future.

The way Alice defeated Caity in round 2 was fully improvised by Alice, it was a fun idea, rather unconventional 😆

The OTS Guardian has a valve to breathe “fresh” air when you are on the surface… we will need to test that feature the next time underwater when an enemy diver opens it 😉

For the first time, frogwomen are wearing gloves in a Project F video.

*EDIT* February 16:

You will now find a second version of this video as well in the VIP Club.

Same video footage but with added music and sound effects from the cult video game “Streetfighter 2” 😉

….just a BONUS for the VIP club members, doesn’t count as an official video!
