Nice Job!
 

Very good work Helmhood. I just recieved my copy of babysitting and was pleased with the outcome. I myself am an actor and was impressed with the overall production and performances. I would have to say I do agree more nudity should have been added, but I could see what direction you were going with the ending of the film. If I had to complain about anything (and Im grasping at straws here) I thought the character of Laura Ann was a little to quick to become so comfortable with her situations. I do believe maybe a little more reluctance would have been a bit more believable, but like I said very little else needed to be done. I also would like to see it a bit longer as well. Nonetheless I very much recommend this to anyone on the fence about purchasing this movie. I myself cant wait to see the next!

Happy Halloween!
 

Grossman... thank you very much for your comments! As you said that you are an actor, I am indeed grateful for your encouraging words.

Kopema... I hope you are still following this thread, because I just watched "Fantom Kiler"! What a wicked little film that was. I am including some caps in this thread, because I believe the nudity was well done, and this is the kind of film that will inspire how I handle my next project. So here are my Halloween treats for everyone:

1. Lady is imagined naked at the train station. I say we use our imagination and picture an ENF situation.

2. Same lady as above, got her blouse snagged on trees in the woods, then stripped off her skirt to get past the barbed-wire fence... only to have it vanish on her. Very ENF reaction.

3. Blonde has to take off her shoes and shorts so she can use her pantyhose as a fanbelt on the car. Classic ENF pose as she passes the tights to the man fixing the car.

This was a neat little European slasher flick, which of course meant that all these helpless naked women end up getting slaughtered. My films are light-hearted and fun, like the erotic stories they are inspired by. I would have used the same "Hapless Heroine" characters, but kept the ENF scenarios going. And, of course, that's what I intend to do...

Hope you enjoy!

not to spoil anything about the movie for anyone, but i wanted to know. What did you use to edit that dream sequence, just wondering.

dream sequence
 

Hey, yeah... that dream sequence was pretty cool.

It was a combination of live footage of LAURA-ANN filmed against a blue screen, and the standard def resolution images of renaissance art graphics scanned in. The special f/x department also did the animations such as the cherubs and the crown of light. The whole piece was edited on AVID, which is what our post production facility used for the entire film.

pretty funky, huh!

I attached a screen cap of LAURA-ANN (wearing just a gold tafetta) enjoying our psychedelic bunny.

Thanks!

that was really cool. thanks for the info.

The Brilliance of "Babysitting"
 

If the other glowing reviews in this post haven't convinced you yet, let me add mine to the mix. I recently got my hands on a copy of the film. It was everything I had expected and more. The shining center of the movie is Monica Himmleheber's performance as Laura-Ann. Not only is Monica gorgeous, but she has the grace and the acting chops needed to pull off this type of role. In a lesser film, Laura-Ann would have just been a body to be stripped, but Monica transforms her into a character, which, to me, is the real selling point of the movie. It was entertaining watching Laura-Ann's transformation from fussy schoolmarm to "empowered" professor, with a little help from her young wards, of course.

My favorite scenes were the nude cleaning sequence (nice uses of Hidden Nudity with the piano and the duster) and the classroom scene, where we finally get the full monty (Abe Lincoln was hilarious !). For those who have said there's not enough nudity in the movie, I disagree. For the type of movie that this is, there is PLENTY. If this were a sleazy porno you would have right to complain, but this is an artistic erotic comedy and I think there may have been even more nudity than I expected. (If the classroom scene isn't enough for you, just freeze frame during other segments). Another selling point: the movie is funny. Sexy and funny is a winning combination, no doubt about it.

If you haven't bought the movie yet, BUY IT! What are you waiting for?

Helmhood, I can't wait for your next offering.

Fango

Thank you
 

hey Fango,

I am so pleased that you enjoyed the film! and I know your tastes in ENF related content is exceptional. I think you characterized the actresses and the level of nudity brilliantly. The combination of erotic humor is exactly what I was trying to achieve, and to capture the spirit of a classic Stripping Naked story-line. As a filmmaker, it was very gratifying to read your post.

I look forward to letting everyone know about my upcoming projects...

Thanks!

I'm a little late jumping into this discussion here, but I just wanted to say that when I ran across the "Babysitting Without a Net" website, it took me all of about 3 minutes to decide on ordering this DVD. I've been in the video production business for over 5 years now, and I was completely blown away by the quality and all the hard work that went into this production. Truthfully, it was the story that initially grabbed my attention, but then the high production standards on top of it all, pushed me the rest of the way. Helmhood is exactly right, there just isn't anyone else that does this kind of work. I am very much looking forward to more great features from Narrow-minded Productions.

Oh yeah, I watched this with my wife, and we both found it to be very entertaining and fun to watch.

Monica on Mr. Skin
 

Thanks for the head's up!

That's pretty cool (I wonder if Monica knows) about the episode of Showtime's Sleeper Cell making Mr. Skin's impressive collection. Maybe I'll drop him an e-mail about including the credit of "Babysitting Without a Net"...

Happy Holidays to Alex and all the members of this forum, and best wishes for the New Year!

Joe

Mr. Skin
 

Hey,

Thanks again for the notice of Monica being featured on the Mr. Skin web site.

I just heard back from the good people over there, and sent them a copy of "Babysitting Without a Net". They seem genuinely interested in posting a review, and adding the film to their impressive database. Hopefully, I will hear back in a couple of weeks (keeps fingers crossed...)

It would truly be an honor to achieve such a distinction. For me, being listed on Mr. Skin is better than winning an Oscar ;) Besides, I am a big fan of their work, especially as they are one of the sponsors of this forum!

Ever in the pusuit of more female skin in cinema... especially if they are embarrassed!

Being a member of Mr Skin For many years, And I look forward to the clips.

Though One problem. If I can download the "nudy parts". Then why Buy the DVD?

(Won't that hurt profits?) Or will the publicity help "pay for itself".

Oh, Also. Do you want me to "bump" the "Babysitting Without a Net" review in the Mrskin Forum?

Mr. Skin
 

Hey MSNEvil,

I did have the same reservations at first. But in the end, I think the credibility of being listed with Mr. Skin, and a nice review from them, will ultimately help the film.

I have subscribed to the site myself, and have downloaded my share of clips. While the quality is good, it is certainly not the same as being able to watch a DVD on full screen TV, or even fullscreen monitor. Besides, this movie is very much about the story. I hope people will see the "nudie bits" and be intrigued enough to want to see the whole film in context. I once saw a Mexican spoof on the Harry Potter movies with these three adorable girls who saunter into a wizard's office completely naked and dance around. It was such a bizarre series of scenes, I wanted to purchase the film, but sadly, it was nowhere in distribution. So my guess is, publicity on Mr. Skin is most likely a good thing.

Yes, please bump over to the Mr. Skin forum, if that's all right.

Thanks!

Mexican Movie
 

Have you tried in Univision.com? I've heard they have a video section to purchase movies (I have never done it myself, but it could worth a look).

A little slow on the Bump, But its bumped.

Another bump!
 

Just watched this video and thought it was well worth a bump in the thread. Excellent production and well worth the few bucks for anyone interested in ENF that has not bought it yet. Get on-line and order, it's a great addition to any collection! lol!

Looking forward to the next film!

Thanks
 

Hey Warney,

Thanks for the bump, and I'm really glad you enjoyed the film!

I am also looking forward to hearing more about your promising projects!

This is a good example of how the more ENF themed movies we can bring to an appreciative audience, the better. "Babysitting Without a Net" was just one type of story focusing on a central character, the stuffy prude who is gradually drawn out of her repressed state with the help of her little friends. (Not that there isn't plenty of anxiety even up and through the final classroom scene...)

As mentioned in your thread, there are so many story possibilities and characters to explore, even multiple females in a wide variety of ENF situations. And while people are waiting for my next production, we would all love to enjoy more efforts in this genre, from other talented filmmakers. Let's make this a relevent and viable market for video!

couple more
 

Hey folks...

wanted to share a couple of more screen caps from the end of "Babysitting Without a Net" where our new teacher, Laura-Ann, strikes the classic ENF pose.

Enjoy!

Good Job !!
 

havent seen the movie yet but looking at the caps i feel that you definitely are a very very good director...there are very few movies of such type...such type of movies can only be counted as REAL EROTICA...i am a big fan of Tinto Brass who makes movies exactly like this...yes his script is not that great but his direction, choice of actresses and talent of making a real erotica is awesome. I think you can also be counted as him...please make more like this with more ENF stuff.

All The Best !!! :)

Babysitting review
 

Okay, this is not so new but I have to give a huge thumbs up. Received it today, watched it, watched it again, will watch it later too. Laughs. A lot went into this work, clearly. That must be recognized. This is well thought out, with a great character selection and the dialogue/interactions are priceless. The stripping is slow, reluctant, and she is very good at acting embarrassed. Very good. Do not hesitate as I did, get this now. You will not regret it.

Thank you!
 

I really appreciate your feedback and your encouraging words. It means the world to me :)

Now I know many of you folks have been wondering when I might be putting together another project. Let me know what you think of this idea, as something just to hold everyone over... I have a video tape from auditions that were done earlier this year. These are actresses who may or may not appear in my next film project. However, as part of the audition, I had them run through some improvised ENF situations.

I just need to transfer the video to DVD, and then I can make some screen caps and downloadable clips to share with the OCC community.

Sound interesting?

Here is an attached head shot of one of the actress.

Sounds interesting indeed! Were the actresses actually naked during the audition?

Fango

Yes, infact they were. You know I'm such a stickler for full nudity. This was a little different from the Babysitting auditions where we had a finished script and were trying to find the right actors who could play the parts. On the tape I have, I was trying to find ladies who were willing to take off their clothes and more importantly, get ino the whole embarrassment theme.

Wow, sounds awesome! I can't wait to see the videos! Sounds like they could be instant classics...

Thanks

Fango

Auditions
 

Sounds like something to see Helmhood

Absolutely, bring it on. Sounds great!

Yes, please do! It would be great to see more underwear scenes, as they're being stripped!:-)

I assume you have signed releases to destribute the audition tapes? There's a big difference between in-house review and public distribution.

But yeah, this sounds very interesting. In fact, I think it would be great if you did some short skits, just a few minutes long. Maybe you could just provide a minimal set (e.g., a wall or object to hide behind), and describe a situation (such as, taking a shower and then find towel is gone, have to sneak around, etc.) - and basically see how long she can keep the situation going. You might not want to waste time on that if the girl is clearly unnacceptable, but it might be a good "callback," or second part to the audition. Even if you don't use the actress in that project, it'd be good to have something like that on file for future reference when you cast new films. And it'd be a great way to see how easy each actress is work with.

A few dozen shorts, produced at practically no cost, could allow you to try out as many different concepts as you want. Or simply experiment with a bunch of different variations on one theme if you'd rather. Just let your imagination run loose and see what works and what doesn't. And if it's feedback you want, you could get tons of it from these things while also building up a market for your more elaborate projects.

Absolutely, I had the actresses sign a release form giving me permission to use their image on video. No worries there.

Once I can do the transfer from tape to DVD, I'll be able to start uploading some material. I also want to explore the concept of working with some local amateurs, who would be brave enough to try this. I asked Aimee, but she won't let me video tape her naked :(
