First of all, this is a short movie from 1962, and not only restored to a wonderful FullHD(!), it’s also in color!

Damn, I wish there would be much more material like this…

It’s a pity that most of the divers are guys, would have loved to see more women in such gear. But well, that’s the way it was back in the day.

The ending is interesting. Was he imagining things? Was that frogwoman a reality, or was he hallucinating?

Well, if I would see her with that double hose regulator….I might faint as well 😆

Vintage babes in vintage wetsuits!

by

I had heard about this one some years ago, checked it, and didn’t think I would make a post of it one day.

But well, the taste can change and I know that many folks here will like this scene, even though there is no scuba diving in it and it is also black and white.

Watch the video before you continue!

Ok, it clearly isn’t summer, and the two women were wearing these rubber wetsuits under their thick (winter) clothes?

Wow, they must be burning up in these suits…plus it isn’t comfortable to run around much in these suits! But perhaps they like that? 😉

Plus running around like that, other folks nearby might think you smell like rubber, even the wetsuit is hidden under the other clothes 😆

I wouldn’t mind swapping places with any of these two guys. Especially with the guy who drives the boat. Sounds like great fun with these wetsuited babes in tow!

The movie itself seems rather…bizarre….and has no other scenes of relevance to this blog.

But I do like this scene, even though it is black and white which is a big minus for me.

I played with a colorizing website and here are two pictures in color:

Yeah, a little better, even the results aren’t very good.

By the way:

The woman who is pouring water into/onto her wetsuit is young Charlotte Rampling!

You can spot her in color and inside an even sexier wetsuit in this post:

Two women and their rubber vintage wetsuits… [UPGRADE – Hall of Fame]

by

So, time for another UPGRADE post!

The old post had a video with DVD quality (SD), the new video has FULL HD from the Blu-ray of the movie!

This was the old post:

https://frogwoman.org/two-women-and-their-rubber-vintage-wetsuits

It’s always very welcome when such old movies with such scenes get a Blu-ray release and/or an HD TV airing as it’s a great improvement.

Now, this scene also finally gets an entry in my Hall of Fame …in the wetsuit section.

Damn, how MUCH I envy that guy! And the film crew….

Ok, I am not the biggest fan of the collars on their suits and the same goes for their bathing caps.

But besides that…they look …quite….AWESOME! These tight, wet rubber wetsuits are incredibly sexy for me.

Not to forget the stunning ladies inside these suits 😉

If I would be that guy….there would be a second tent on that camping site very quickly, and that one wouldn’t need to be assembled 😆

Don’t know how I would manage to stay in my role if I would be the actor. I mean you can maybe think about taxes and golf…and try to NOT watch in their direction, but that won’t work for long.

Of course, it would have been great to have these two in a scuba scene, no luck there.

Nevertheless, this scene is an absolute classic!

And as a little bonus (thanks to allmanzor!) here is a nice picture of them on set:

“Come on Joe, keep their wetsuits wet!”

What a job…..

Frogwomen rivalry with Frogwomen Alice and Lucy [5th video of Project F]

by

Today I wanna present another video of Project F!

A very special one as this contains a nice action scene 😉

 

Frogwomen rivalry with Frogwomen Alice and Lucy, 1080p, 60 frames, 4:25 minutes

Frogwoman Alice is wearing the Elios vintage style beavertail smooth skin wetsuit. For the most part, she is using a Scubapro C370, later on, a Royal Mistral Double Hose Regulator.

Frogwoman Lucy is wearing the Aquasphere Pursuit smooth skin wetsuit and a Mares Abyss regulator.

 

 

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:

–

I thought hard if I should publish the 4th picture above. I mean it spoilers the action scene, but in the end, it has to be there so that you folks know that there is this action scene at the end.

And from that picture you still don’t know how it’s gonna end so… I think it’s good to have it.

 

In parts of this video, I am using the small 1L Smaco tank that Lucy used in video 2 as I wanted to be at the bottom of the pool so the two frogwomen could dive above me.

For the most part of the video Frogwoman, Alice is wearing a Cressi mask with a mirror effect so that you only can see through the glass from certain angles. I think it’s a really cool mask for a mysterious frogwoman. For the last scene, they swapped their masks as I think that mask fits better to the “evil” frogwoman.

I recommend that you watch the video before you continue!

SPOILERS ahead!

(click on the “Spoiler title+” field below IF you wanna read the spoilers)

Spoiler title
I am very happy that the two agreed to make that last scene as not everyone would be OK with actually doing that. Frogwoman Lucy had only perhaps one hour or less of scuba experience (in total) was willing to do something that nearly no diver has actually ever done. Frogwoman Alice had to react fittingly to the action, which she did really well, especially considering this was all very much improvised as time was running out quickly.

But I am happy with the outcome, especially as a scene like that wasn’t done like that, at least not to my knowledge. I mean how many scenes do you know where a hose of a frogwoman with a double hose regulator gets sliced by another diver? I know exactly one fetish video where that happens…..and there they cheat big time as the outtake hose gets cut…which isn’t a real problem for the “victim”. I do know not a single movie where that happens.

If you look closely you can see that the two hoses of her double hose regulator are different. I swapped the original hose from the ’60s (!) with a modern version that was less flexible and thicker. With the first slice, Frogwoman Lucy damaged the air hose as you can see as air is already escaping. The second slice severed the hose at another place as the “salvaged” air hose showed later. Perhaps the damaged air hose would have ripped also as the air was pumping through it later one….hard to say.

And this all was just a test run for much more scripted scenes I have in mind for the next shooting! These will have a (simple) storyline with more action and “deadly” outcomes as well…. and then my camera skills and lightning skills will have improved as well 😉

I underestimated how loud the noise would be as she surfaced and the air was still blown out of that sliced hose….. Above the surface, I quickly closed the valve, but damn, that was QUITE loud! I actually filmed that as the camera was still running as I closed the valve.

Also if you look closely in the buddy breathing scene, it looks like Lucy is pulling the octopus regulator away from Alice….perhaps on purpose as a foresign of the next scene? 😉

Editing:

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

The original/raw footage was about some minutes longer but contained some footage where we discussed some aspects in between the shots.

–

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.

–

Wanna watch this video?

Well, then send 4.99 Euro in my direction (aka 4,99 Euro depending on in which country you live in).

Every video that will be for individual sales like this one will have an individual price… so I know instantly what video you want by the amount that you send.

The details can be found on this page (scroll down to video 5):

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

 

Every Euro I get by this and the donations for the VIP club will support me in doing more video shooting like this in the future as I can save that money for rent location, additional gear, and to pay the frogwomen.

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.).

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

So, the picture quality is okay 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 😉

A short trailer that also includes scenes from this video:

–

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.

How can you watch the video?

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

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.

The car, the lake, and the female diver

by

2 of them are in the other one, can you figure out this mystery? 😉

Ok, time for a new post!

*EDIT* Thanks to the nice guy who recommended me this one!

 

Some pictures:

–

And here is the video:

–

Yeah, no real action in this one….but I do like this scene!

Her wetsuit is nice, even I would prefer it with the wetsuit pants on.

In my version, some evil diver would have followed her as she discovers the car in the lake. He would have his reasons why nobody should know that besides him.

He would then attack her and they would have a long scuba fight. Perhaps the car could be directly involved as a “prop”.

At the ending of this video, I cut out a little bit as she starts crying in his arms. Nothing more to see there.

A frogwoman in an awesome wetsuit…in a VERY rare movie

by

I know about this one for many years, but hesitated to post about it…until today!

Hard to say how you folks will like this one…but…let’s try.

 

Preview:

(click to enlarge)

–

And here is the video:

–

Watch the video before you continue!

 

This one is a rollercoaster ride:

+++ The movie is VERY rare….it has 9(!!!) votes on IMDB…I repeat 9(!!!)…..very few people know about this movie.

— The only available source is a VHS recording, and ….as it seems….a self-recorded one (not by me). The picture quality is really bad.

+++ The wetsuit the woman is wearing is awesome, a very sexy rubber wetsuit!

— She is freediving with it, not scuba diving

+++ The movie poster is INCREDIBLE! Hard to find a sexier (scuba-related) poster! (see below)

— The recording isn’t complete….some rather important seconds are missing

 

In the end, they seemingly get out of their wetsuits and ditch them on the beach (you can see them floating), don’t know how many seconds are missing here…but damn, a shame.

But I guess they didn’t show in full length how they get out of these suits….as that can take quite a while 😉

Damn, I would love to see the whole movie in (at least) DVD quality….but that won’t happen…I guess 🙁

 

But here are now two posters for this movie:

*EDIT* Thanks to Hapwater, who found another poster for this one…. the gallery now has a third poster (right)

(click to enlarge)

–

Have I promised too much?

Damn, I love how she looks in that wetsuit!!!!

It’s not the same as in the movie though, this one looks even better.

If I would be that guy standing behind her…..I would be close to a heart attack 😉

–

Here is the IMDB-page of this movie:

“Borman” is the original title.

“Nazi S.S.” the international English title…. 😆

The martial arts frogwoman from hungary

by

First of all thanks to the guy who recommended me a video from this TV show and also to Scuba Snooper who uploaded a video from it on youtube!

I asked for the title of the untitled video and not only got the title but the link for the whole episode!

Couldn’t ask for anything more….. 🙂

I checked the whole episode and found a lot more interesting scenes, so I decided to make my own version with all the female scuba scenes below and above the surface.

But enough text for now, let’s start with some pictures:

Preview:

(click to enlarge)

–

And here is the video:

–

So, I don’t understand Hungarian (surprise!)…but from what I understand of the episode so far…some villains are searching in that lake for treasure.

One of the evil guys turns against the other one and drowns him as he finds something (a rather disappointing scene).

The dead frogman gets found by the police. For some reason, the TV show’s lead actress gets her hands on his wetsuit and starts wearing that men’s suit.

We can clearly see that it doesn’t fit her very well as she is surprised by that guy. Logically it’s pretty loose. (DAMN!)

One of the good guys has to help the bad guys in recovering the treasure (the guy in the full-face scuba mask).

They decide to get rid of him and close the valve so he doesn’t get any oxygen while being trapped underwater!

Lucky for him our frogwoman shows up just in time.

But she has to fight off the evil guy in the red wetsuit first. As she is a trained martial arts expert…she uses her elbow to hit him right in the face, seemingly breaking his nose.

–

Of course, there are some minus points. Her wetsuit is way too loose, the visibility is rather bad, and the a language problem. A shame the villainess doesn’t dive at the end and is only be seen exiting the water in her blue wetsuit very early on. Would have been great to have the two frogwomen fighting against each other at the end of the episode.

But this episode has a LOT to offer! Some great vintage wetsuits and nice diving scenes. Also, I like how the villains try to drown that guy, a really hideous way….

The highlight is of course the scuba fight where our frogwoman has to face the evil guy in the red wetsuit! It could have been longer, but I really like the intensity. Filming through her scuba mask for a second or two was an awesome idea! Don’t know why that wasn’t done more often.

Also, it’s great that she let out some “grunting” noises to illustrate the intensity of the fight as she has to defend herself against his scuba knife.

An armed frogwoman sneaks on a yacht at night

by

Today I wanna present something very rare…. at least in the movies:

A black frogwoman!

I have seen many, many, many movies and TV shows with scuba scenes over the last decades. But I only remember a handful of scenes that had actually a black guy or girl in it.

I think this one was recommended to me ages ago (thanks for that!), but I didn’t post about it as this movie has a big “problem”.

The frogwoman doesn’t dive at all.

So, why do I now post it anyhow? Well, the scenes are very interesting for several reasons….

Preview:

(click to enlarge)

–

And here is the video:

–

Actually, she is running around in that wetsuit for at least 10 more minutes in the movie (incl. a motorboat chase), but I can’t post all that.

But damn, Pam Grier does look smoking hot in that wetsuit. The movie was about 10 years too late to present her in a vintage rubber wetsuit, but this wetsuit is fine as well.

And the scene where she seduces the bad guy to lure him closer….is quite sexy! She certainly knows how to use her looks to manipulate him.

Actually so far I haven’t seen the whole movie, but I will catch up on that in the next few days.

Would like to know what kind of device is installed on the Uzi she is carrying. Doesn’t look like a silencer, at least not a type I have seen before.
