Frogwomen Lucy and Rachel in “Below the Disco V” – [49th video of Project F – 7th video shoot]

by

This is video 49, the fourth from the 7th video shoot.

In this video, Agent Jane B. (Lucy) investigates a suspicious yacht from below in her scuba gear.

A dangerous frogwoman in black is patrolling the area… and the two are on a collision course!

 

Frogwomen Lucy and Rachel in “Below the Disco V” 

1080p, Standard version 07:05 minutes (short version: 04:26 minutes)

+ Behind the scenes and alternative takes: 04:55 minutes

+ the long version with full Thunderball score (parts from 4 different tracks)

 

Yes, you read correctly: You will get not 1 video, not 2, not even 3, but 4(!) videos with 12 minutes of unique video footage (Standard cut + Behind the scenes)!

Incl. a shorter version of the main video (no new footage there, less footage of the “no action” part, so more focus on the action part)

And an extra version with a complete Thunderball score on top!

Yes, I know… I sound like a crazy salesman from a home shopping channel right now 😆

 

Some preview pictures:

+ a teaser:

The music in the trailer is from the Bond movie “Thunderball”.

In the full videos, there are only a few seconds of music… so you can fully enjoy the underwater sounds

In addition, you will get a long version with a full Thunderball score (details above)

Video contains:

2 frogwomen, neoprene, 2 smooth skin wetsuits, scuba peril, scuba fight, modern scuba gear, vintage scuba gear, surface shot (walking to the edge of the pool, preparing gear)

1 hood, 1 without hood, double hose regulator, hose squeezing, fins, regulator stealing, harpoon, speargun

 

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

Spoiler title
Lethal

Background info:

We spent a lot of time on this one and made quite a few re-shoots of certain scenes.

I would have used even more time for it, but as always… the time schedule has no mercy.

The editing for this one got a lot more complicated than the average video and also took quite some time.

My first idea was to use a fake speargun that would look like one from Thunderball. I could have gotten one from a prop maker on eBay.

(Real ones in good condition are verrrrry expensive)

But I wasn’t convinced enough to spend close to 300 Euros with postage and customs on that.

So… I just bought a real speargun for just about 50 Euros 😆

Of course, such a spear gun can be very dangerous, so I bought one with a safety switch at least.

Still, I handled the topic very carefully so the 2 frogwomen wouldn’t be (too) afraid to handle it.

If one of them wouldn’t have been ok with it, the video wouldn’t have the speargun in it.

Luckily… Lucy and Rachel were ok with it.

In the end, the two and safety diver Eva were even curious that we would test fire the spear gun… but I had my reservations… as I was afraid of any consequences that might have had.

Here in Germany, the hunt for fish with spearguns is even completely forbidden, and I bought this one in Spain (online).

But since we didn’t hunt for any fish in the pool… the video shoot with it wasn’t problematic …in legal terms.

This time, the speargun wasn’t fully in action, it was just used for looks.

If I know the range of the speargun… it would certainly be possible to build in spear being fired.

So you would see the spear going out of the frame and then the result of someone being hit (simulated).

 

Perhaps I will buy a fake prop speargun from Thunderball one day… it certainly would look awesome(r).

Yes, “Disco V” is actually short for “Disco Volante”, the yacht of Emilio Largo in Thunderball.

The whole scenario here is inspired by the scene in Thunderball as James Bond runs into the SPECTRE frogman as he investigates the yacht at night.

 

I hope you guys will enjoy this fourth Project F video in 2025!

Thanks for all your support in the past and in the future 🙂

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, perhaps that would be an option as well.

The future of Project F?

I will release 2 more in June from this video shoot (so 6 in total).

Later this year (July/August?) I wanna have the first Project F video shoot in a lake.

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

Frogwoman Rachel in “RAF Oxygen Mask” – [40th video of Project F – 6th video shoot]

by

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

This is video 40, the fourth from the 6th video shoot.

In this video, Frogwoman Rachel wants to try an RAF oxygen mask… underwater! (RAF = Royal Air Force)

Well, these oxygen masks are not designed to work underwater… but this one really does (with some limitations)!

I am pretty sure that most of you know that mask… yeah, it’s the same type that was used in my favorite movie “Thunderball“!

Video contains:

1 frogwoman, neoprene, 1 smooth skin wetsuit, RAF oxygen mask, vintage scuba gear,

RAF soft helmet, no fins, neoprene socks, corrugated oxygen hose, vintage regulator

 

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

Spoiler title
Non-lethal

–

Background info:

Well, it wasn’t a surprise to me that the mask is working underwater, as I tried that myself at the first video shoot back in 2021.

But of course, I wanted this mask to get used by one of the frogwomen as well, and finally, it was time for that!

I am just filming at the start of the video, the rest was done by Rachel herself.

She did a great job adjusting to the whole gear, which wasn’t so easy to handle.

She had to wear the RAF soft helmet (cloth) so the mask could be mounted onto it.

The goggles were slightly problematic as they weren’t a great fit for her and sometimes water would leak into them, which you can see in the video.

Perhaps I should have used fully transparent goggles… but I do like these black ones, which give her a special look.

The mask wasn’t a perfect fit for her face, as these masks are (mostly) designed for wider (male) faces.

That’s why you can also see air bubbles escaping the mask from her nasal bridge.

This oxygen mask actually has an exhale valve mounted on the bottom-middle, and that is why it works pretty well underwater.

Yeah, the breathing isn’t very comfortable, but easy enough.

One big problem is the pressure equalization, as you can’t really pinch your nose while wearing the mask.

The green rubber is flexible enough, but not the hard black-colored part above.

But luckily, that isn’t a problem for Rachel as she doesn’t need to pinch her nose to equalize the pressure (plus she wasn’t very deep in the first place).

Also, her intake air hose was leaking precious oxygen (picture 3) so there is a tiny perilous element involved in this clip 😉

I guess the clamp at the first stage wasn’t 100% tightened in this case

So, why was Frogwoman Rachel testing that mask underwater in this scenario? Just curiosity?

Was she preparing for a special job? A job that would involve a plane with atomic bombs on the sea floor?

Somehow sounds like a scenario from my favorite movie! Hmh… what a coincidence!?! 😉

Would certainly love to make more videos in the future with that gear….

Oh, and you can find 3 “guest stars” in the video for some seconds… in the background.

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 🙂

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 Eva, Meg, and Rachel in “Good VS Evil” – [39th video of Project F – 6th video shoot]

by

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

This is video 39, the third from the 6th video shoot.

In this video, the leader of the evil female agents is still at large during a scuba battle.

The good gals will try everything to finally stop her!

(…sorry for the not-so-creative title :lol:)

2 hoods, 1 without hood, 1 with gloves, fins, scuba fight, scuba peril

 

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

Spoiler title
Non-lethal

–

Background info:

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

She already has an incredible experience with scuba diving even at her young age.

She didn’t have any experience with the OTS Guardian FFM, but she quickly adapted to it as well.

You will see that frogwoman Rachel is using a certain special breathing apparatus that you should know…. 😉

Yeah, it’s a 3D-printed version of the one that Sean Connery (and his stunt double) used in Thunderball!

Spoiler alert: Much like the original… it isn’t actually working, but here in the scenario it certainly does!

So… Rachel is actually freediving while using it during the video shoot.

That meant that she had to return to the surface whenever her lungs were empty.

As it wasn’t used in video shoot 5… I finally wanted to build it into a video.

In combination with the red wetsuit, I wanted to have some… Jane Bond vibes 😉

Some day in the future I wanna have a full “Jane Bond VS Emilia Largo” fight… but I need some more gear and gadgets for that.

This video shoot was made at the end of the first “shift” and time was very limited due to some problems we had encountered earlier (new shift = (some) new frogwomen).

I wish there had been more time for this one, but at least I did some re-takes of the ending.

The video got a little shorter than anticipated, but that way you get to see 2 alternative takes of the ending… and I am sure that you will like those as well!

Update on Project F video shoots + new gear for the next video shoot + the chance to a vintage Thunderball magazine

by

So, that title got long enough… just a quick post for this week:

1) Project F video shoots

As you may have already read in yesterday’s update in the post from August 1… I canceled the video shoot in the lake that was planned for today.

It is rather cold for early August… and more importantly… there are tons of clouds. Not the conditions where I wanna spend several hundred Euros to make a video shoot.

I need some solid sunlight for the lighting.

That means the next video shoot will be the long-planned 9-hour video shoot in the pool in 2 weeks (August 18).

I think I will make a new attempt at a video shoot in the lake in 4 weeks (September 1).

If I can get enough participants on that date, the weather is at least average and the lake is still warm enough.

–

2) New gear for the next video shoot on August 18

I’m still on the lookout for new scuba gear. Do you have any ideas …wishes?

Here is some of the scuba gear I have:

https://frogwoman.org/project-f/project-f-scuba-gearwanted-scuba-gear

I am thinking about getting a spear gun… even if it wouldn’t be fired, basically just for “show”.

Always on the lookout for sexy new wetsuits… especially with smooth skin, that makes it look like rubber.

But right now I find it hard to find a suit that brings really something new to the collection… a suit that isn’t too similar to the ones I have already and that looks great.

Perhaps a (darker) blue smooth-skin wetsuit would be a great addition.

But it’s hard to find one that looks good, isn’t too expensive (up to around 200 Euro), and is available in the EU if possible. (no custom fees and faster transport)

As an example I often buy new gear …here… (and on Ebay).

Do you have ideas? Links? Feel free to comment on this post or send me an email:

Frogwomen Kara and Demi in “Scuba Spy 3” – [24th video of Project F – 3rd video shoot]

by

So, it’s time for the seventh video of the 3rd video shoot of “Project F”, the last one from that video shoot.

In this video, Agent Kara is taking pictures of a secret underwater base of Spectre (#some imagination required) and gets attacked by an evil frogwoman…

….and only ONE of them will survive!

Video contains:

2 frogwomen, neoprene, 2 smooth skin wetsuits (partly), scuba peril, scuba fight, modern scuba gear, surface scene

1 hood, fins, regulator stealing, air valve closing

 

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

Spoiler title
Lethal for one of them

 

–

Background info:

This one is a good example of how much I want and do not want to show here. I mentioned above that only one of them would survive the fight.

It would certainly be good for promo reasons to include a picture of the ending here.

But at the same time, I don’t want to fully spoil it by showing that… as you then would know who will win the fight.

So, I chose the middle way… maybe I will use a picture of the ending in a week or two, but not now.

This video was more difficult to make than the previous ones. We had a script and reshoot some scenes, especially the final one.

That also made the editing more complicated in comparison as well…. for some scenes.

In the end, I’m happy with the result! I made some notes on things that can be improved in the future.

The GoPro I use for filming is doing a good job… but it has one aspect that can be problematic:

As the camera is tiny… the screen is tiny as well, and that makes it pretty hard to see all the details, especially while filming underwater.

Kara and Demi did a fine job, especially considering how little scuba experience they have/had and that this scenario was quite challenging.

As a BONUS for you guys, I decided to also include a BONUS version with a lot of awesome music from Thunderball!

I hope you folks like that version as well and appreciate the effort, if not… just watch the “normal” version 😉

Now a minor spoiler, so don’t continue unless you have seen the video!

Spoiler title
In the end scene, the regulator wasn’t supposed to exhaust bubbles, even as we repeated the scene several times, it always did… so just ignore these bubbles 😉

We could have closed the valve for the scene… but that was a little too risky as both had very little scuba experience.

 

Disclaimer:

No frogwoman was killed or hurt during the production of this video! 😉

Also, I do hope that the amount of VIP club members will be higher with the current price as it would be with a higher price.

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.

Are you worthy to watch a special “Project F” BONUS VIDEO for free? [Thunderball quiz]

by

Before the 2nd video shoot, I came up with the idea to make a little (verrrrrry obvious) Easter Egg video for my favorite movie.

Some years ago I made an extra Thunderball page for it with links to extra pages to certain scenes and topics.

Some days ago I had the idea to have a little quiz about Thunderball and that the extra, special, secret bonus video would be the reward for those who master it.

It’s just a very short video, but if you like Thunderball and/or wanna see Frogwoman Lucy on the surface in an Elios vintage beavertail wetsuit… you will LOVE it 😉

Plus it’s for free…and it should be fun!

 

Let’s start the treasure hunt!

You will find the secret page with the video… if you add the letters of the correct answers to the standard frogwoman website address.

For example: If “A” would be the correct answer to every question, the address which would lead you to the video would be: frogwoman.org/aaaaaa

Spoiler alert: “A” isn’t always the correct answer 😉

 

Hint: IMDB and the pages/videos of my Thunderball project will help you with the solutions

 

1) In which country was Thunderball released first?

A) USA — B) UK — C) West Germany — D) Japan — E ) East Germany — F) Uzbekistan

—

2) How many letters does the full name of the actress contain who plays the main villainess in Thunderball?

A) 13 — B) 14 — C) 15 — D) 18 —- E) 42

—

3) What is the page number of my favorite Thunderball scene (check Thunderball project)?

A) 5 — B) 6 — C) 8 — D) 73273 — E) 7

—

4) How many crew members get gassed on the Vulcan Bomber in Thunderball?

A) 5 — B) 4 — C) 6 —- D) 3 — E) Strawberry Ice Cream!

—

5) How many Dollars does Angelo want from SPECTRE as he has the brilliant idea to blackmail them?

A) 100000 — B) 1000000 — C) 250000 — D) 9,99 — E) 200000

—

6) How old was Sir Sean Connery as Thunderball was released in the USA?

A) 36 — B) 34 — C) 33 — D) 35 — E) 32

Two rubber frogwomen in a crazy James Bond rip-off movie

by

I saw this one ages ago but never thought about making a post about it.

But well, it deserves one for sure!

In the 60’s some agent named James Bond (you may have heard about him ;-)) started a landslide of Spy movies.

In a lot of countries, they started their own spy movies, more or less successful.

This one is quite special….for sure. And a perfect example to have some really great ingredients but to FAIL big time in the end (especially in terms of scenes we would like to see).

Preview:

(click to enlarge)

–

And here are the scenes:

Link

(it wasn’t welcome on Youtube, which is quite funny/ironic as this movie is stealing music and whole scenes from other movies :lol:)

–

Ok, easy Siggi, calm down…..don’t get….too angry…..easy…….

OH MY GOD! What are these morons doing? …….. Breathe…..

The wasted potential on this one is …quite…GIGANTIC!

Let’s start at the beginning. You have the villain and a henchwoman. Unlike in Thunderball the henchwoman here actually gets into scuba gear, into a sexy black rubber wetsuit.

Ok, she is not as hot as Fiona Volpe….but…..that is nearly impossible to manage anyhow 😉

But what happens then? They go into the water….. and then…..they show up at some underwater base in wet wetsuits. No diving scene with her! A real shame.

She looks quite sexy in her wetsuit, even in black and white. Sadly most of us here don’t understand what they are talking about.

That henchwoman gets assigned to seduce and kill the “Bond” of this movie but gets killed in the end, very much like Fiona Volpe in Thunderball. They were really “inspired” by that one 😆

Then we have a hot good frogwoman who fires with some weird gun (air pistol?!? Oh boy…..) at the evil henchman. She is seen in full gear….so, I think we will see her diving!

Well…..actually….no! WHAT? WHY?!?! She gets into all that gear…and her wetsuit doesn’t even get wet (from the outside at least).

I’m really angry at this moment at the movie….and now it gets really weird.

There is a scuba fight going on between the hero and one evil diver that is COPIED completely out of this movie/scene (which I cut out here):

https://frogwoman.org/the-sneaky-frogwoman-in-rubber

!!!

And now they did not remake it, it is the SAME scene!!!! They just copied (parts of) the underwater fight from the other movie into this one!

And seemingly no one had big issues with it as this version still exists like that.

But’s that not all. They even use a lot of the Thunderball soundtrack that they just use in their movie.

The usage of James Bond music in other movies isn’t completely new to me as I saw for example a Mexican movie with a lot of Bond music from the ’60s.

But using whole scenes….that is…stealing….on a whole new level 😆

It drives me crazy that the whole movie has two frogwomen in rubber that are never seen in the water at all! How great would it be if the good frogwoman would dive and then stumble upon the evil henchwoman! We could have had a great scuba fight…but no, not even anything close to that.

But well, in the end….we have two women in great vintage scuba gear….and that is something for sure! 🙂

But still ….I’m getting angry at this movie… 😆

The Bond girls of …Thunderball! [Behind the scenes]

by

A nice guy on a forum recommended me a certain video that was reviewing a James Bond documentary from 1965.

So, if you read 1965 you already may think of Thunderball as that was its release year. 😉

Well, the documentary actually deals with the first 4 Bond movies…incl. Thunderball.

In the documentary, you get some really nice scenes with the three major Bond girls of Thunderball.

As you (should) know there is only one scuba scene with Domino (Claudine Auger) in the movie.

In this documentary, there are some promo shots of the girls in bathing suits, bikini, and even wetsuits!

Let’s start with the most interesting part of the documentary you can find in the video below.

Preview:

–

And here is the video:

–

Well, with that kind of narration …you wouldn’t get away with it today 😉

But I like the voice, very fitting.

Sadly that was everything to find in this documentary related to the Bond girls in Thunderball. But it is very interesting material after all! 🙂

It’s great to see the women on the set in such outfits. Seeing Domino in wetsuit…in a nice glimpse in the department of “What could have been”.

And I still imaging Fiona Volpe (Luciana Paluzzi) in a black Spectre rubber wetsuit in the final scuba battle of the movie 😉

That would have been a proper ending for her.

Also in quite some footage, you see Paula (Martine Beswick) in action scenes against Spectre divers who seemingly wanna kidnap or kill her.

Sadly, they didn’t give her these kinds of scenes in the movie.

 

Here is some additional promo footage of these Bond girls:

WANTED: “The Incredible World of James Bond” (documentary)

by

Thanks to a nice guy on a forum I was pointed towards a youtube video in which I learned that there is a documentary TV special “The Incredible World of James Bond” from 1965 to promote the Bond movies and to keep the hype up about the franchise who was at an all-time high back then.

This is the IMDB page:

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0438106

 

There seems to be quite a lot of Thunderball behind the scenes snippets in it, so I would LOVE to see the whole thing!

I tried any source to get my hands on this documentary, but no luck.

So, has anybody perhaps an idea where to get it?

It wasn’t ever released on any media as I think. Perhaps it was put as a special on a DVD or Blu-ray of a James Bond movie, but I haven’t found any proof of that.

So, if anyone has a nice link…. please use the contact form to get in touch with me!

Or leave a comment below!

If the video quality is ok, I would say I would like to offer 3 free months for the VIP club as a reward.

I already made a nice little “Thunderball bond girls on set” video out of the making of and the video mentioned above that I will post shortly.

But with the full documentary, I think I can make a better and longer video…..

*EDIT*

Case closed as I got a hint by a nice guy about where to get that documentary!

Guess I will make a post about the Thunderball girls with some behind the scenes footage Sunday next week.
