Before I post the next installment in my ongoing series on shooting your Pro-Am porn flick, I thought I’d assign some homework (FYI - I only ever set rules in the hope that breaking them will lead to an unstructured corporal punishment scenario). An illustrated example of how all the money, talent and time in the world don’t ensure a result if you start with the wrong idea.
I don’t like you in that way isn’t only the beginning and end of every relationship I’ve never had, but is also a favorite blog of mine (go Jenny!). Jen, recently posted a clip featuring uncensored footage from ‘Original Sin’. I’ve re-posted it here to save her a crushing bandwidth bill, and because even my servers like to feel the weight of Angelina bearing down on them.
What’s worth noting is that, despite having two of the sexiest actors on the planet to work with, a fancy camera-rig mounted above a bed (being wafted by fans like some Whitesnake video outtake) and a smooth-jazz soundtrack (which hiccups due to a redistribution of boner-blood 1:02 minutes in) it still sucks. Against all odds they fail to make it hot due to a lack of ideas and an excess of cheese.
What’s great is knowing you can do better than this with a handycam and performers who aren’t Angelina/Antonio quality - if you think it through and come up with a solid idea of what looks sexy on screen.
Watch, learn, wank if you have to. Do not emulate.
Those rapid cuts made me pretty dizzy, the only sexy part was the cuddling at the end.
It’s not good is it Ellie. What a waste. Give me Angelina and… hell that’s enough.
I don’t see how anything could survive that sound track.
Neverminding that, the entire scene is about the fact that his cock is going to be, and then is in her pussy - yet we never see either his cock or her pussy, not even a glimpse, let alone his cock *in* her pussy.
It’s like shooting Elvis from the waist up.
Tony - it’s funny to think about where his cock’s supposed to be in the end ‘twister’ bit. Damn that looks uncomfortable.
These two are good looking and even given that I haven’t seen the film and am watching out of context (who knows it may have been hotter?)the clip failed to raise even a flicker of excitement for me. I did like when we can hear their sounds and the moment when we see her fingers grip his flesh.
The scene and the “serious” music have that “we must consumate this love at all cost because we know there’s going to be retribution sooner or later” feel to it. And that makes it curiously joyless, there’s little smiling, it seems ernest and somehow flat - the emotional range is limited.
The other thing with short love scenes is the timeframe for the act is compressed so that the tension that could create excitement seems lost. One kiss trail over a belly does not tension make. Will I go on?
Ell,
You don’t make love to smooth-jazz in a room decked out like the cover of a romance novel? I thought all women loved that…
What’s worth remembering is the amount of convincing that had to happen to get the leads to accept the scene would:
a) Make them look good.
b) Form a key part of the story.
Not only is it flat sexually but what do we learn? Why do you never see anyone laughing in sex scenes in movies? Is that just me? I think ‘The Tall Guy’ was sexier personally.
“Why do you never see anyone laughing in sex scenes in movies?”
There’s no crying in baseball.
