New Animation: Priestess

July 23, 2015

priestess-poster
Hi again! Well, as I teased yesterday, I have a new bit of EMC fun to share with you today. I’m very excited to unveil Priestess!

Snake hypno is one of my favorite genres to work in. Perhaps because its so rare to come across material that I find suitable, when I do have something that I think will work, I tend to obsess over it.

I’ve had this video of porn star Madison Ivy stashed away for a few months now. There’s a few animated GIFs making the rounds that were taken from this vid but I’ve yet to see anyone capitalize on the fact the she spends a bit of time dancing with a snake. I’ve been wanting to do another snake hypnosis piece for some time (ever since the last one) and I also wanted to challenge myself by creating the signature Kaa-hypnosis look on a piece of video.

The animation work was completed in a dozen or so half-hour sessions over the course of several weeks. I was delayed from starting on the writing until this week. However, I ended up re-watching Conan the Barbarian over the weekend and that became the driving force in the story I ended up creating. Which is another way of saying I stole this caption hook-line-and-sinker from Conan the Barbarian. 😉

If you’d like to hear more detail about how this manip was created, check out Episode 04 of The Black Room podcast. As always, your comments, questions, and suggestions are welcome!

Sketches to My Future Self

July 4, 2015

skitch-screenshot

In recent years, I’ve started using “sketches” like this to quickly save an image and get my ideas down while the inspiration is fresh.


I’m going to talk about this a bit more in the next episode of The Black Room podcast, but I wanted to share a quick note teasing a new piece I’ve started work on. I have a serious backlog of “potential material.” Now, the pessimists among you would call that “having a huge collection of porn,” but its not the same…seriously.

I’ve spoken before about how I will often look at image and get an instant surge of inspiration for what I could do to transform it into a new piece of EMC erotica. Normally, that works out great…provided I strike will the iron is hot. More than a few times I’ve saved images to my “In Progress” folder to remind myself to get started only to promptly forget about them.

Years later, I’ll stare blankly at a photo that I know I had some grand design for…but have completely forgotten about. So, I started making quick notes in text files or in the metadata of a jpg to remind myself. Unfortunately, I wasn’t as descriptive as my future-self would like. Here’s an actual note to myself from about seven years ago “Green light on left. Female shadow in BG. The maid?”

I have no clue what I meant by any that. I’ve looked at the image I think the text file was referring to but…no idea.

So, a few years ago, I got smart and started creating “sketches” where I would explain (to future me) exactly why I saved an image, what I intended to do with it, and any bits of story I might have thought up. I’ve since been using a great tool from the folks at Evernote called Skitch that makes this process quick and enjoyable. You drag in an image and can easily create shapes, draw on top of the photo, and add text notes. I’ve found it has really become a great tool in my workflow to get my ideas down quickly and in a form that I’ll still understand years from now.

So, I thought I’d pass along this little bit of kit in the hopes it might be useful to others out there. Its not really a photo-editor per se, but if you were just captioning an image, its a perfectly adequate tool for the job. If you happen to also be an Evernote user, it syncs there and you can organize it within your existing mega-collection of porn…er…I mean “potential material.”

The Black Room – Episode 001

May 29, 2015

On the debut episode of The Black Room, I’m talking all things erotic mind control including the latest Poser 3D comic from Uzobono and Tabico, mind control in Avengers: Age of Ultron and Marvel’s Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. and an update on my own mind control fetish film: Opening Statement.

UPDATED: With an mp3 link for all those who have asked. Thanks for listening!

Greetings once again.

I have something quite different for you today. For a while now, I’ve been thinking about doing a podcast. I wanted to do a show where I could talk about things that have caught my eye in the erotic mind control community: erotica, hypnopics, videos and the like. I thought it would be fun to talk about the mind control popping up in film and tv these days. And, of course, keep you updated on what’s going on with my site, my art, and my films!

In episode #1 of The Black Room, I discuss the terrific Poser comic work of Uzobono, talk about the mind control tropes appearing in Marvel’s latest films and series, and, as many of you have been asking for it, bring you an update on my first mind control fetish film: Opening Statement!

I hope you all enjoy the show and please let me know if you have suggestions for future episodes: topics you’d want to hear discussed, artwork you’d like me to share, or maybe a guest you’d like to hear interviewed.

Mind Control Alert in Avengers: Age of Ultron

March 23, 2015

I think we all know, at this point, I’m something of comic geek. Thusly, the summer slate of silver-age cinema (why? because alliteration, that’s why!) is high on my list of must-sees this year. If you’ve checked out Trailer #3 for Avengers: Age of Ultron then you may have already spied this little gem from the 1 minute, 39 second mark:

wanda-natasha

Mmmmm. Whatever is that lady doing to Black Widow?

Well, I have my own theories about this (and some other things I’ve seen in the Age of Ultron promotional media) but it certainly seems like Wanda Maximoff will be spending some time in this movie getting into the heads of our heroes. Now, I’m the kind of person who avoids spoilers like plague (and/or plaque) so I’ve starved myself of any interviews or articles that might explain where this is headed. But, I have my hopes.

Mind control is a long-standing staple of comic mythos. Marvel brought it into their Cinematic Universe in the first Avengers film as well as early in the second season of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. Further, Joss Whedon (who has directed both Avengers films) and his brother Jed (producer/writer on Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) have used mind control numerous ways and times through their various outings over the years. Hell, one of Jed’s shows (Dollhouse) was based on the premise of a pretty women having her mind reprogrammed week after week.

So, what am I saying? I guess I’m saying I hope there’s something in Avengers: Age of Ultron for mind control fetishists to get excited about. Based on what I’m seeing thus far, I’d describe my outlook as cautiously optimistic.

An Update On Opening Statement

March 18, 2015

Hi all. Since a number of you have been getting in touch lately to ask what’s happening with the film, I thought it would be the perfect excuse to stop planning my next blog entry and actually start writing it. So lets talk about Opening Statement a bit shall we?

First up. We have not shot the picture yet. I know in my original message I indicated we were less than a month away but there were complications and by “complications” I mean there was ice and snow…and then more ice. If you weren’t fortunate enough to live in the Eastern or South Eastern part of the U.S. during the month of February then you might be blissfully unaware that we had a couple of weeks of something that rhymes with ‘severe winter storms.’

Our shoot days were sandwiched between the arrival of two storm fronts. Since several members of the cast and crew are traveling a bit for filming, it just didn’t seem wise to have them driving in that kind of weather. And, it ended up being the right call. Our roads were ice on top of snow on top of ice that weekend.

So, we’ve had to reschedule principal photography. Opening Statement is now set to go before the cameras the last weekend of April. The bad news is that I can’t share the film with everyone as quickly as I’d like. The good news is that we’ve had an extra two months to prepare which will, hopefully, make the movie that much better.

So that’s all for now. I’ve got more updates I’m writing (as soon as I post this) to introduce you all to the cast and answer some of your questions about the film.

See you soon. How soon? Very soon.
