Louise & Mark
At best it was a difficult shoot that started out a tiny bit awkward for the simple fact Mike, Louises partner of 8 years had beginners nerves or for want of another word: stage fright. I also feel a bit guilty that I didn’t have my usual chat prior to meeting with both partners. I have worked with Louise Parker before with Sahara which was where I met her for the first time, so I feel honoured that she chose me to shoot her first boy/girl on the basis of that first time.
Mike wasn’t very assertive and seemed to lack confidence in his own abilities. I am sure he is a great bloke and everything as he is still in a relationship that seems to be a loving 1 after 8 years. My powers of deduction lead me to believe the decision to make this mov was not made with altruistic motives. If there was then there would have not been a problem. The magic ingredient that was missing was; exhibitionism. This is the driving force behind almost all good sex scenes captured on clip and lets face it, Mike is not an exhibitionist. That said though. He was getting the hang of it on the soft version and had I got to know him better we could have shot it the other way round. Soft then hard version last.
All things said and done though, it wasn’t a disaster. Far from it. If anything it was as real as it could get in the circumstances that reminds me from time to time that I’ve been on a good roll so far and that every now and again, I will have my work cut out with editing. After all I managed to capture all the elements to make a scene work. The getting it up, the getting it in and the sperm shot. Which was fairly spectacular but the way in which it was achieved may not be that dynamic but hey. The best news is, what could end up looking like an average shoot may well end up being a whole lot more as Louise and Mike have offered to shoot their own clip in home made mode which should be a lot better than the effort we made today as well as being that bit more personal. We shall wait and download what they have in store for us.
