Poseidon FFM dive with Frogwoman Uma [4th video of Project F]

by

Today I wanna present another video of Project F!

In this one, Frogwoman Uma is diving with a Poseidon Atmosphere FFM!

The nice divemaster who can be seen in video 3 is the one who is filming her, I wasn’t even in the pool room at that time as it was very late and I was pretty exhausted from the day and all the preparation beforehand.

 

Poseidon FFM dive with Frogwoman Uma, 1080p, 60 frames, 3:56 minutes

Frogwoman Uma is wearing the Camaro Speedskin wetsuit again here.

 

Some preview pictures:

The picture quality in the video does actually look a little better than the screenshots

A short trailer that also includes scenes from this video:

–

Video contains:

1 frogwoman, neoprene, smooth skin wetsuit, modern scuba gear, FFM

no fins, shallow pool

 

Lethal or non-lethal ending?

Spoiler title
Non-lethal

–

You can really see that Frogwoman Uma enjoys diving with this mask as she playfully poses underwater for the camera.

She told me that it is her favorite diving mask so far.

This mask was provided by the divemaster who is also a friend of hers.

I am planning on buying an FFM for a possible 2nd shooting if the money reserves are big enough until then.

Perhaps this one, as you can attach any regulator to it, it looks nice and it’s not very expensive…in comparison to others:

(check the 2nd picture for the best view)

–

Editing:

I used the same filters as before (white balance, 10% more brightness in the shadows, text).

The original/raw footage was not much longer than this I cut out not much.

Just enough so the video would be under 4 minutes, so you guys in the VIP club could have another video included.

 

How can you watch the video?

It is available again in the VIP club NOW in May!

You can download these videos, but only for your personal use.

Don’t share them with anyone…. anywhere!

It’s pretty simple, I had to spend a lot of money, especially on scuba gear and location rent.

A lot of my …limited… savings were used up for that.

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

So…. I hope you appreciate these videos and want to see more in the future.

First dive lesson with Frogwomen Kara and Uma [3rd video of Project F]

by

Today I wanna present the longest video of Project F …yet!

In this one, Frogwoman Kara has her very first dive lesson and Frogwoman Uma is also joining for some practice!

Both are guided by a nice divemaster while I am behind the camera, so up to 4 people are underwater during the filming of this video.

Both frogwomen are practicing some basic scuba skills that are crucial when you wanna be a scuba diver.

 

First dive lesson with Frogwomen Kara and Uma, 1080p, 60 frames, 8:24 minutes

Frogwoman Kara is wearing a Cressi Fast wetsuit while breathing with a Mares Abyss regulator.

Frogwoman Uma is wearing a Camara Speedskin smooth skin wetsuit while breathing with a Scubapro C370 regulator.

 

Some preview pictures:

A short trailer that also includes scenes from this video:

–

Video contains:

2 frogwomen, neoprene, 1 smooth skin wetsuit, scuba training, buddy breathing, mask clearing, regulator retrieval, modern scuba gear, hoods (1 of 2), no fins

–

 

Both did a really good job with these scuba exercises as they had very little (Uma) to no scuba experience (Kara).

Several exercises can be seen in the video, I thought about adding titles to sections of the video, but I don’t want to have spoilers in it 😉

I will use the spoiler function here for those who wanna be surprised by what will happen in the video! I recommend not reading it before watching the video 😉

Spoiler title
-01:14 Kara dives around the pool for the first time  -02:14 Kara and Uma clearing their scuba masks after flooding them    -04:18 Kara and Uma practicing to retrieve the regulator and how to start breathing from it underwater    -06:38 Kara and Uma practice on how to buddy breath by using the octopus regulator of the dive buddy   -08:24 Kara is testing a BCD for an exercise in buoyancy

As you can see in the pictures already some slight gear changes were made as Kara started diving barefoot. Over time that was a little too cold for her so she put on neoprene socks.

For the last 2 minutes of the video, she changed from the weight belt to a BCD vest.

–

Editing:

I used the same filters as before (white balance, 10% more brightness in the shadows, text).

The original/raw footage was about 17 minutes, so I cut out about half of it as some scenes were repeated and the intro and outro of each recording were (logically) cut out as well.

Perhaps I will put some of the extra footage in the VIP club in the future.

–

Frogwoman Kara was sadly only available for 2 hours instead of the planned 5, as there were massive train delays that day.

And that wasn’t the only problem that day, more on the shooting here:

But she is interested in shooting more videos…. 🙂

Smaco test dive with Frogwoman Lucy [2nd video of Project F]

by

So, for today I have another short video where Frogwoman Lucy tested a 1L Smaco tank.

These mini scuba tanks can be filled by an adapter or by a manual pump(!). Filling these with a pump is very exhausting and takes some time, but it works.

Disclaimer: Don’t get crazy ideas! These can be used in shallow water, but if you want to really dive in open water with these, get a scuba certificate first!

And even with a full 1L tank you only have something like 5-10 minutes of oxygen. These tanks are just a fun gadget, not for real diving….

 

 

Smaco test dive, 1080p, 60 frames, 01:45 minutes

In this video, Lucy is wearing an Aquasphere pursuit smooth skin wetsuit and neoprene socks, and a hood.

I have mentioned the difficulties we had to face during the shooting (lighting, camera settings, no fins possible, etc.).

https://frogwoman.org/the-first-video-shooting-for-project-f-how-did-it-go

So, the picture quality is ok but could be better for sure.

I will work on that for the 2nd shooting.

And I will then include more close-ups and above the surface shots 😉

 

Some preview pictures:

A short trailer that also includes scenes from this video:

–

Video contains:

1 frogwoman, neoprene, 1 smooth skin wetsuit, mini tank, modern scuba gear, hood, no fins

–

Yeah, the aspect that we couldn’t use fins is really a problem here, but I think Frogwoman Lucy does a good job, especially as her first dive in scuba gear was just about half an hour earlier!

The (official) harness of the Smaco tank is a rather cheap construction in a “one size fits everyone” size…. and we had to make some adjustments so the tank was positioned a little better in the second half of the video. Still, there is room for improvement so it should be possible that the tank would stay tight above the belly.

The tank was only filled one-third but still, there was quite some air left after this video, and I used it myself on another video. That one will be posted later on as well.

 

P.S.: The red valve you can see on the tank is the tank valve that regulates the airflow. The fact that it is positioned in front of the diver is an interesting aspect for possible future peril videos with that tank 😉

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

Frogwoman Alice tests a vintage Technisub FFM [1st video of Project F]

by

So, for starters, I wanna present a video where Frogwoman Alice is doing a little test dive in the pool with my favorite vintage FFM, the Technisub FFM (aka La Spirotechnique).

The mask gets oxygen from a Royal Mistral vintage double hose regulator.

She is wearing an Elios vintage style beavertail smooth skin wetsuit with matching hood and neoprene socks…also from Elios.

 

Technisub FFM test dive, 1080p, 60 frames, 3:10 minutes

I have mentioned the difficulties we had to face during the shooting (lighting, camera settings, no fins possible, etc.).

So, the picture quality is okay but could be better for sure.

–

This was a very much improvised video that I edited together from 2 videos.

The gear that Frogwoman Alice is wearing is near perfection for me!

The Technisub FFM is an old favorite of mine in combination with the double hose regulator.

And that Elios suit is really awesome, hard to find something better in my opinion.

*EDIT December 13* Not a big surprise, but diving with such a twin hose regulator and such a mask was new to Frogwoman Alice.

She thought it was fun even breathing from such an old vintage regulator was less comfortable in comparison with a newer one.

The dampened sound you hear pretty much at the beginning of the video is my old snorkel filling up with water and then me blowing it out.

I filmed most of the time just with a mask and snorkel to avoid having my breathing sounds from a regulator in the video.

But in that one scene, I went down a little too far…

Next time I will use a newer snorkel that closes up automatically in case it goes below the surface.

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

Some background info on the video editing:

I used the video editing software Shotcut for the first time here.

The original video footage was shot in 2.7K, I rendered it down to 1080p for better file size and a picture will fewer grain effects.

I used a white balance filter to get rid of the very warm light from the pool lights, which worked really well.

I used color grading to increase the brightness in the darker sections of the video by 10% (mainly her wetsuit).

And I used an audio filter to dampen down some weird audio creaks that occurred here and there.

I experimented with a grain reduction filter for another video but as much as it helped with that grain noise….it blurred the picture. So I decided against it.

I also experimented with a sharpness filter to increase the sharpness…but that grained the picture in return 😆 ….So I decided against that as well.

3 female lifeguards in smooth skin wetsuits

by

The bad news first: Today, there won’t be a scuba scene in this post.

The good news: There will be a video with 3 stunning female lifeguards in smooth skin wetsuits!

Let’s start with some pictures:

A lucky guy….
Time for some exercise!
Well……oh man!

(click to enlarge)

–

And here is the video:

–

Well, I don’t know about you….but I love such smooth skin wetsuits! Especially in black.

Funny how they tried to get rid of the “Orca” lettering on the wetsuits with different grades of success 😆

This first guy is really lucky, I mean she is already a gorgeous-looking woman…and now in such a suit….oh man!

The scene continues with an American flag being dropped in the ocean like the first one, but that was only more of slow-motion with heroic music, so I edited that out as it’s repetitive.

And this scene marked the end of the episode, the season, and the whole series as the show was cancelled after one season.

But quite a sexy way to end it 🙂

The martial arts villainess in a rubber wetsuit

by

First of all, thanks a lot to the friendly guy who recommended me this scene!

The scene has clearly some minus points….but for a movie from the ’90s, it has a really sexy rubber wetsuit! Yeah, I know…..it’s not really made out of rubber….very sure it’s smooth skin neoprene…but it sure looks great!

Preview:

Time to get this mission going!
Martial arts frogwoman!
Who is she after?

(click to enlarge)

–

And here is the video:

–

Ok, let’s start with the negative aspects for me. It’s another movie that has scuba divers but doesn’t have one second of scuba diving in it 🙁

In my version, the Yacht would be anchored and would have had some security frogwomen to protect it, so there would be a nice scuba fight before the bad guys enter the yacht. 😉

And also, the villainess/henchwoman surely can kick ass, but well…..she isn’t really attractive. You can see her without the scuba hood at the very end of the video….in case you missed it.

–

But on the good side…. it’s great to see a woman in such a suit kicking ass! Something really rare….

It seems like she would completely do her own stunts, so I guess she is/was a stunt performer in the first place.

And also….no surprise….I love such wetsuits! You can’t come much closer to a 60’s vintage rubber wetsuit!

And it’s nice that the wetsuit is a little wet in these scenes, it surely looks better that way.

–

The scene with the fire extinguisher was quite odd. The villainess seemingly thought that she could use her scuba mask as she put it on before checking that closet. And instinctively she managed to kick the princess….ok, she escaped anyway but textbook villain-actor Robert Davi showed up to stop her.

But ok, it’s (supposed to be) a comedy, so I guess they thought let’s spray her with fire extinguisher foam.

 

Let’s end with a nice thought:

Imagine Luciana Paluzzi (Fiona Volpe in Thunderball) in that suit……… 😉

Sexy vintage wetsuits ….and odd underwater scenes

by

I am very much divided about this one, but it clearly has some interesting aspects in it!

Thanks to the friendly guy who recommended me this one!

It’s a fine example of how one video can be really good and really bad at the same time 😉

Preview:

Nice wetsuits!
Is it a sea monster? A scuba diver? A mermaid? Take your guess 😉
Frogwomen in sexy wetsuits!!

–

And here is the video:

–

Quite a rollercoaster ride! You have two frogwomen in great vintage wetsuits, really great!

On the other hand, you have completely murky underwater shots where you can see not much or even nothing.

Oddly enough, their scuba gear changes as they are underwater. No one is ever seen with a double hose regulator above the surface….but as soon they are underwater they mostly use double hose regulators….WTF?! Also, the wetsuits tend to change and have stripes they don’t have had on the surface.

It seems like they made all underwater scenes with stunt divers and not with the actors. But why does no one notice the different types of gear? And why do they film in such murky waters where you have to guess what is going on? If they would have filmed that in some tank or pool it might have looked weird (like many underwater shots in Baywatch) but at least you would see what is going on. So, the underwater parts are totally uninteresting for me, and I think many see it like that.

But back to the good aspects. The black wetsuits look really great on the 2 women and it would have been great to actually “see” these women underwater. Especially as one of them gets into trouble as she is stuck on something for a while.

Masked, female burglars in wetsuits! – Additional clip

by

Today this will just a short post, but don’t worry….I prepared 6(!) videos for you folks!

Most of it will be placed on my other blog where it does fit just a little better.

So, go over on Maskripper to watch the videos there:

Masked, female burglars in wetsuits! [Hall of Fame] [quality Upgrade]

–

Have you watched them all? Good.

Yeah, nothing with actually diving….but 6 women in gorgeous wetsuits…who also rob a hotel in a very long scene!

They did choose the right suits for this movie 🙂

I wouldn’t be mind being the hotel manager in this scenario! 😉

Or even better…one of the guys who attack the single masked frogwoman on that boat….

–

So, as you can watch 5 videos on the other blog….you are right….one more is there for you!

In this short scene the women are testing their equipment while one of them is being in a wetsuit to be the “presenter”:

–

 

This will be all for today, but I will upload a “Girls of Thunderball” video in the next few days already (Wednesday or Thursday I guess).

In this video, you will see great behind the scenes footage of the Bond Girls on the Thunderball set. 😉

Jessica Alba trapped underwater! [+Bonus video][Flipper]

by

Time for more scuba action from (the newer) Flipper TV show!

In the first video, Jessica Alba dives around to find some treasure….but soon she gets trapped as her dive buddy is very reckless!

And…of course….her air is already 99% depleted as it happens! Surprise!

Preview:

Here they are scuba diving…
“No! Stop, you moron!” she signals him
Nothing you should ever see underwater!

(click to enlarge)

–

And here is the video:

–

Nothing special, but a nice “out of air” scenario with Jessica Alba in her youth!

Picture quality could be better, but keep in mind that this show was never released in HD or even on a DVD.

Hopefully, that will change someday.

I got a bonus scene for you from another episode, to show that modern wetsuits can be sexy:

*EDIT* Now in the correct aspect ratio….

–

Yeah ok, the show is from the ’90s but that suit is the era of modern wetsuits already.

I really like that smooth skin wetsuit, even I would prefer it to actually have sleeves.

But the smooth skin texture is very sexy for me as it is the closest nowadays we can get to the epic vintage rubber wetsuits 😉

And the fact that she “strips” down to her bikini doesn’t hurt as well….
