Babysitting Without a Net

[grossman]

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!

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.

[Helmhood]

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!

[daring_burlinski]

that was really cool. thanks for the info.

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.

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.

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!

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!
