Semi-detachment
Well, I think I'm back. House-moves, I'm reliably informed, are among the most stressful experiences which punctuate the life of a Western adult, and I can testify that there's a reason everyone moves house in the summer months. Not only is the weather much better, but moving house in the month leading up to Christmas is not a good way to relax.
I did manage, in November, to work for the very experienced Spanking Online crew, and very much I enjoyed it, as well. Miss Smith is a delightful co-star, as is the delectable Elizabeth Simpson, and I was made very welcome by everyone on the shoot. Pandora was, as you can see from the first link, also working with us.
This led me into some considerations about the correlations and distinctions between doing professional work with my submissive Pandora, and working with other professionals.
Apart from the obvious safety and security factors, one of the reasons Pandora asked me to be involved in her career from quite early was that we make pretty hot scenes. Even before we entered our current relationship, we knew each other well enough and had enough experience of the chemistry we can create to know that we would show well on film. In practice a number of adjustments needed to be made: not least, I needed to get used to the very distinct difference between Pandora's responses, both during action and between shots, while she is in her professional mode and the ones I get at home. I knew such differences were inevitable, and fortunately we seem to have made that adjustment quite easily.
Working with my partner is easier than working with another professional. This may seem an obvious statement but I've never seen it investigated by another spanking professional. There is a certain confidence-level that I will make the right calls, read the co-star properly, and get responses from dialogue and body-language that develop and enhance the scene. Knowing I was to be working with other models for the first time made me very nervous (yes, we do get nervous too) because I was afraid my habits might inhibit my professional fluency.
As it turned out, this hasn't been a problem (yet!) and I can only thank Miss. Smith and Elizabeth for making the SOL shoot so easy for me. Both have a wealth of on-camera experience I lack, and have worked with many co-stars; their warmth off-camera, combined with their skills when working, allowed me to very easily adjust.
Comparison is easiest between Pandora and Elizabeth: I mainly worked with Miss. Smith as a co-Top. One of the things that I was interested in was how accurately I could judge pace when working with a model other than Pandora. It helped that Miss. Simpson is very, very good and can take some pretty serious punishment in her stride, and it was good to be able to relax into what I was doing as I began to get a read on her responses.
It was also an eye-opener how comfortable both Elizabeth and Miss. Smith were with dialogue and physical action in cramped circumstances. This, I suspect, is the a mark of experience: Pandora and I are both quite involved in main-stream acting and so I've always been able to rely on Pandora's improvisations, but working with two new models gave me an insight into quite how good some of the untrained actresses in the industry are. I certainly felt Miss. Smith handled improvised dialogue in scene better than I did myself: Elizabeth and Pandora, obviously, did more squeaking than talking but I also found myself genuinely enjoying the role-play aspects of my scenes with both Elizabeth and Miss. Smith.
The third leg of a spanking scene (as it were!) is, of course, communicating energy and sexual tension to the camera. That's all about eyes, voice and body-language, and I went into the day wondering how I would perform without the safety-net of the relationship Pandora and I share off-camera. Again, I should have rested secure in the professionalism and talent of my co-stars. Miss. Smith has a fine touch for body-language to raise the tension in a scene, and Miss. Simpson has very expressive eyes and a remarkable sense of timing.
Obviously, there were differences. The main one I was able to observe as we worked was that while Pandora and I have a lot of experience getting thoroughly into our characters and playing off each other to raise the temperature of a scene, there was a real, and quite powerful, thrill and tension to my interactions with both Miss. Smith and Elizabeth which came precisely from the fact that I didn't know them. They are both vigorous and energetic ladies: exploring dynamics with them was a fairly heady experience and very different from the something-old-something-new tensions of working with Pandora.
I was expecting to find the experience very detached: I was mentally gearing up to have to create the appropriate emotional engagement, but I didn't need to at all. It was like, yet unlike, the experience of playing with a new bottom in a social context: similar in the the explorations and new textures to the interaction are thrilling and fascinating, yet unlike in that there is a sense of externally controlled pace to a scene in front of a camera which leaves me knowing there is more to learn than I will have time for; a sense of secrets still to discern which I hope will carry well.
I hope you all enjoy the scenes: I'm certainly intending to, next time I have a quiet evening with Pandora to follow up on any technical observations. Descriptions and pictures may well be posted, so stay tuned... The producers certainly seem to have enjoyed the work, as they have contacted me since about further work with them. Hopefully I'll be able to offer more well-caned bottoms for your perusal soon!
