It was hot, so I got immersed in the mud pit. The sun was going down, so my video ended up being really dark. There was only one angle I liked and it was framed really tight. In this scene, I am partially suspended by my ankles, so it’s easier for me to get my upper body immersed, and harder to come back up.
I’m sorry these frames are so dark, lifeless, and similar. The image on the right shows the back of my thighs only, since my upper body and head are both totally immersed. I may release a video of this, someday, but I will need to re-shoot it. I have a better idea how to do it, now, and how to get some good imagery.
I did have a good time. Just because the video was not so good, doesn’t mean I wasn’t having fun, struggling in the thick mud; getting buried, twisting, and struggling to catch a breath.
When I started this scene, I didn’t know how it would end up, so the cameras didn’t capture what I wanted. In this last image (on the right), in case you can’t tell, I’m trying to get out of the mud so I can free my ankles. I am face down. My ankles are still suspended and my back is arched backward.
























Well, sales are down, my hopes for getting some help keep getting dashed, and interest in this blog seems to be waning. I had been thinking this would be my last year for making videos. I had a few new ideas, some of which I could do alone, and some that would require assistance. I’ll probably be finished with the things I can do, by the end of May. I still have a few videos to release. If I spread them out, I may be able to keep my store alive through summer.
I may go back to shooting short videos for my blog on my GoPro; no fancy camera setups, low quality audio, and only quick edits. Then again, even keeping up with this blog feels a lot like work, since I get so little feedback. I really appreciate those of you who do send me messages, but there are very few of you.
