A frogwoman in distress needs to be saved! [Blog exclusive]

by

One last post in 2022!

A nice guy recommended me this one. I know this movie for quite a long time now and was very surprised that I haven’t posted about it.

Well, maybe I did ages ago and Youtube blocked the video… don’t know.

This movie is an Italian James Bond knock-off and it has quite some interesting scuba scenes incl. a nice frogmen fight.

But let’s focus on the frogwoman in danger.

She has been captured by the bad guys and the villain has some evil… and weird… plans for her!

Preview:

That’s not nice….
Trapped by the villain…
….who has more evil plans for her!
This is a good example of how light changes the perception of colors underwater….

Here is the long video:

(the chances are very high that Youtube would have blocked this long video)

What a naughty, weird villain 😉

She looks stunning in that gorgeous vintage beavertail wetsuit!

And his ideas to torture her are quite…. creative… (and insane).

She is really lucky that he showed up to save her from her… explosive… fate.

Also, in reality, her eardrums would burst as she can’t make the ear clearing with her hands tied up… unless she is one of those who can make it by just moving the jar around a little.

The submarine that he uses is really a cool vehicle, don’t remember seeing that one in any other movie.

In my version, she would have been in some nice scuba fights with the henchmen and henchwomen of the villain 😉

P.S.:

There are only 3 days left (incl. this one) to get the December content of the VIP club!

The current “Project F” videos will be rotated out of the VIP club then.

Videos 17 and 17XL will then return in March (for example).

Frogwomen Kara and Lucy in “Air hose play XL” [video 17XL of Project F – 2nd video shoot]

by

So, it’s time for the seventh video of the 2nd video shoot of “Project F”!

Sorry for the slight delay.

As mentioned in the previous posts the videos from that shoot will be pretty short, but action-packed as we tried some simple action scenarios.

Frogwoman Kara and Frogwoman Lucy wanna figure out who is the better underwater fighter. And there is only one way to find out 😉

This is the “XL version” incl. some interesting bloopers.

I made this as a little BONUS video since I planned to release only 1 new video in December.

+ a short teaser (of the shorter version):

–

Video contains:

2 frogwomen, neoprene, 2 smooth skin wetsuits, scuba peril, scuba fight, some modern scuba gear, vintage double hose regulator, hoods (2 of 2), fins, air hose damage, regulator steal

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

Spoiler title
Non-lethal

 

–

Background info:

I think these extra scenes are interesting as they include some extra peril footage and as they are quite funny.

In the middle part (from 01:23 to 02:08) Lucy struggled with her arch-enemy: The sheath of her scuba knife! 😉

At first, we had strapped it to her upper arm in the hope it would look “cooler”, but it was very difficult to adjust it right and we were in a hurry.

Also, the mechanism that holds the knife in place on that sheath is a little tricky…

The other bonus material can be found around 02:30 as Lucy tries to cut the air hose… which is not as easy as it looks in the movies 😉

She pulled hard on Kara’s air hose so Kara lost the regulator for some seconds, interesting images… but I also wouldn’t include scenes like that in the “normal” cut of a video as that wasn’t supposed to happen and makes not much sense to let her retrieve it.

I don’t think I will make such an XL cut again in the future. But I might post such extra material in bonus videos.

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

Frogwomen Kara and Lucy in “Scuba Spy”, Version 2 [16th video of Project F – 2nd video shoot]

by

So, it’s time for the fifth video of the 2nd video shoot of “Project F”!

As mentioned in the previous posts the videos from that shoot will be pretty short, but action-packed as we tried some simple action scenarios.

Frogwoman Kara is taking pictures of some secret stuff, but frogwoman Lucy isn’t too happy about it!

That leads to a scuba fight… 😉

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

Spoiler title
Non-lethal

–

Background info:

This is the second video with the “scuba spy” scenario (the first one is video 12).

In this version, Frogwoman Kara is holding onto her Camera with the precious images she just shot. Of course, that is a rather big handicap for her as she can only use one arm/hand to defend herself against the attacker.

I guess in a long, scripted version of this scenario she should have some kind of bag/pocket to stash it away or at least have it tied to her wrist with a tiny rope.

Or she could just let it float to the bottom, for that the camera would need some weights, as it floats to the surface… as you can see in video 12.

Frogwoman Lucy really seems to enjoy yanking at other divers regulators 😉

This video has a very short alternative ending at the end.

“Swimmer VS Frogwoman” – test video [15th video of Project F – 2nd video shoot]

by

So, it’s time for the fourth video of the 2nd video shoot of “Project F”!

As mentioned in the previous posts the videos from that shoot will be pretty short, but action-packed as we tried some simple action scenarios.

In this video, you can find 2 takes as we tried a “Swimmer VS Frogwoman” scenario.

 

Swimmer Kara and Frogwoman Lucy in “Swimmer VS Frogwoman”, 1080p, 60 frames, 1:47 minutes

 

Some preview pictures:

+ a short teaser:

Background info:

I think the “Swimmer VS Diver” scenario is always interesting even though most of these rare scenarios in the movies end with the death of the swimmer in 99% of all cases.

I would like to build in some surprises in a long, scripted version so it won’t be the standard outcome. Or maybe the expected outcome and some surprises on the way to it. I won’t spoil it here 😉

In these two test takes, we tested that scenario.

Several problems make this scenario challenging.

First of all the swimmer has no air source underwater (surprise!) and therefore she can’t stay down for long during such a fight. That makes filming more difficult of course.

We tested in the shallow end of the pool to stay on the safe side. In the long and scripted version, I would like to use the deep end.

The swimmer has no weights, so she is very buoyant, especially as she is wearing a full neoprene suit here which increases her buoyancy. The diver must pull her underwater and keep her there… which isn’t very easy.

In the full-scripted long video, we will add more weights to the frogwoman, which should help, even if it will make normal swimming more difficult for her. Perhaps she will wear a 2nd weight belt that she would drop once her evil job is finished. 😉

The snorkel mask we used here isn’t so good for the scenario.

At the end of take 1, the mask started to fill with water, which wasn’t supposed to happen as Frogwoman Lucy didn’t attack it prior.

Maybe we use swimming goggles for the long, scripted video.

 

 

Fun facts:

At the very end of take 2, you can see how Kara yanked the mask of Lucy away from her face so it flooded completely.

The first time that Frogwoman Lucy was blind underwater and close to defeat.

Frogwoman Lucy in “Vintage dive” [14th video of Project F – 2nd video shoot]

by

So, it’s time for the third video of the 2nd video shoot of “Project F”!

This time one day early as I am away tomorrow.

As I mentioned in the previous posts the videos from that shoot will be pretty short, but action-packed as we tried some simple action scenarios.

 

Frogwoman Lucy in “Vintage Dive”, 1080p, 60 frames, 2:34 minutes

 

Some preview pictures:

(click to enlarge)

 

+ a short teaser:

–

Background info:

On the first video shoot, Frogwoman Alice dove with the Royal Mistral connected with double hoses to a vintage Techniscub FFM (video 1).

Frogwoman Uma tested the Royal Mistral double hose regulator in another video (video 9).

This time I added a vintage-style scuba mask to the scuba gear so Frogwoman Lucy would fully be in a vintage gear that looks like it could have been from the 60s.

So I created a short video with her in that gear incl. some surface shoots of her getting ready for the dive!

For me, it can’t get much better in terms of scuba gear than this combo.

And she will be in this gear in another video with action! (my favorite one from that video shoot)

In the future, I wanna include longer “getting into the scuba gear” scenes at the beginning of some videos.

Spoiler title
As you can see the mask is pretty “flat” with little room for the nose. During the shoot, I didn’t notice that the tip of her nose was pressed against the glass of the mask. That happens if you stare at the tiny screen of the camera all the time (she didn’t notice it either). Certainly, I should have checked that more carefully, but it only fully showed underwater.

Well, I learned another lesson.

Another frogwoman will wear this mask at the next shooting.

But ok, only a small issue, as this is a short video and she is only facing the camera for some short scenes.

 

 

Fun facts:

Frogwoman Lucy also had no problem to also dive with this vintage double hose regulator from the 60s.

I guess you won’t find many young women like her who have diving experience with such old vintage gear. Especially since she doesn’t have a scuba certificate.

 

–

Editing:

I used some filters (10% more brightness in gamma and gain, text).

As I mentioned before the audio here was challenging with a sound the camera picked up from the pool machinery.

I tried a lot with the audio since that sound is here more annoying than in the other videos that have more action and noise.

I edited the audio track of the underwater part to reduce the noise and stimulatingly not affect the wanted audio.

And the result is quite good I would say.

 

Where to watch it?

It will be available again in the VIP club in August!

Frogwomen Ruby and Lucy in “Treasure hunt” [13th video of Project F – 2nd video shoot]

by

So, it’s time for the second video of the 2nd video shoot of “Project F”!

Also the video premiere of Frogwoman Ruby!

Sorry for the delay! Some logistical problems had to be solved first…

As I mentioned in the previous post the videos from that shoot will be pretty short, but action-packed as we tried some simple action scenarios.

+ a short teaser:

Background info:

This is the first video with Frogwoman Ruby in action! And she did a fine job without any prior scuba experience. She used to play underwater rugby in the past for a while and that may be the reason why she is pretty fearless and was a good match for Frogwoman Lucy. 🙂

She also had no problems

Spoiler title
with Lucy closing the air valve on her tank (we tested it once on the surface).

Sometimes it wasn’t easy for me to keep up with the two, as they made good use of the space they had in that deep pool as they swam at a pretty high pace.

At the beginning of the video (before the fight), you will notice

Spoiler title
blue bars over certain small areas of the screen (for about 20 seconds in total).

Sorry for that, but the frogwomen are visible all the time, so it’s not such a big issue. I had to do it since the security diver was visible in these parts of the video and …..well…. he wasn’t supposed to be visible 😉 A mistake that won’t happen again.

I was glad that I could use the stunning Cressi Triton suit this time and it looked great on Ruby. Perhaps I will buy that suit again in M or L.

I found it as a real bargain (in comparison to its normal price) in size S. But that suit is too small for most women …in this size…

For a test video that has basically no script, I am really happy with the result. It was a good test to see how the Frogwomen would handle such a fight scene and react to certain aspects.

Certainly wanna use that “fight over treasure” scenario in the future again, but then with a detailed script (incl. storyline), and a proper ending.

 

 

Fun facts:

Check out how Ruby is clearing her mask in the background as Lucy has found the gold coin.

The gold coin was a standard Greek coin (from before they got the Euro as well).

–

Editing:

I used some filters (10% more brightness in gamma and gain, text).

As I mentioned before the audio here was challenging with a sound the camera picked up from the pool machinery.

So far I haven’t figured out how to suppress that sound without damaging the “wanted” audio. But well, it isn’t really a big issue here as the 3 regulators here make a lot of noise so that background noise isn’t really distracting (as you can hear in the preview teaser video above).

Frogwomen Kara and Lucy in “Scuba Spy” [12th video of Project F – 2nd video shoot]

by

So, it’s time for the first video of the 2nd video shoot of “Project F”!

As I mentioned in the previous post the videos from that shoot will be pretty short, but action-packed as we tried some simple action scenarios.

Video contains:

2 frogwomen, neoprene, 2 smooth skin wetsuits (one of them vintage style-beavertail), scuba peril, scuba fight, modern scuba gear, regulator steal, hoods (2 of 2), fins, scuba spy

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

Spoiler title
Non-Lethal

–

Background info:

I do know 2 movies/TV shows that have this “Diver takes pictures and gets attacked” scenario. James Bond in Thunderball and the frogwoman in the “Silk Stalkings” TV show.

And in the future, I wanna make a version with a detailed script where a frogwoman takes pictures of some secret stuff and gets attacked by an evil frogwoman who wants to stop her (and kill her).

For this video, I used only some basic instructions on what the two should and could do and it was a one-shot without any re-shoots.

My camera was a little shaky in the first few seconds. I’m pretty new to the whole filming aspect and it’s not easy to totally focus on the tiny camera screen when such a scene happens in real life right before you 😉

It was also not easy to follow these two with the camera, but I think it worked out quite well even though it’s a bit of a challenge to move around in 3 dimensions and stay in a good position to the moving action.

I am very happy about how the 2 frogwomen (Kara + Lucy) did such an action scene underwater! I mean the two have basically no scuba experience and only had that mini scuba session from the first video shoot back in December. I am glad they returned for another video shoot!

They were really brave and the scene worked out pretty fine in my opinion.

Frogwoman Lucy really likes to steal regulators and likes to be a scuba villainess 😉

We had only 5 hours to shoot and a LOT of time was needed to assemble the gear and all that. And I wanted to get several quick scenarios done in that time to gain experience in shooting underwater action scenes.

I will write detailed scripts for the next shooting, as long these videos generate enough money to cover at least the expenses.

Yeah, the video here is short, but it has a rather long scuba fight (90% of the runtime). In the end, most scuba fights in movies or TV shows are much shorter in the end.

With a detailed script, I wanna make a video with this scenario that will have at least 5 or 6 minutes.

But we made a 2nd version of this fight, I will post that in the next weeks as well.

 

Fun fact:

At first, the fight was supposed to be about the camera but that quickly floated out of sight and mind (can be seen on the surface in the last seconds).

Next time I will need to add some weight to the camera 😉

Weekend post and VIP club news + Recomendation!

by

I am away over the weekend as I am leaving the country for a short vacation/city visit.

So, there won’t be a post on Sunday this week.

Also, the VIP club will get its monthly update, a little later than usual….on August 3!

That means the VIP club members will receive the password as well on August 3.

So, please be patient, it will come 😉

–

I will reply to emails of course, but only once or twice a day.

But I do have a recommendation for you folks!

My TV magazine recommended a documentary named “Waterwoman” some weeks ago which is currently still running on German TV.

 

I watched all 4 episodes and it was quite fascinating.

It’s about German freediving champion Anna von Boetticher who is holding several national records.

In these episodes, she is diving in Mexiko, Iceland, the Acores, and (under) Budapest…. and she is wearing smooth skin wetsuits while doing so 😉

Yeah, she isn’t exactly the youngest (52), but she looks great in these suits, is highly skilled and the episodes offer great pictures of beautiful underwater landscapes!

So I really recommend watching the episodes, even though there are some obstacles for folks outside Germany.

Yeah, the audio is German and the episodes are only available online here if you are in Germany:

But with a little trick, you might be able to travel to Germany realllllly fast! 😉
