This clip is a quickmud/quicksand drowning scene that I shot on April 23. The mud was thick like pudding, but not firm enough to keep me from quickly sinking up to my chest. Most of the 5 minute clip is the last 10 inches (30 cm) of the sink. I wish the video did a better job of conveying how that mud felt on my body.
I did my best to express my desperation as the thick mud pulled me to my untimely demise. It’s difficult to talk when you’re gasping for air. I reappear after the scene fades to black to stymie the censors. So, if you don’t want to know that I survived, pause the clip as soon as it fades out!

Really liked this one, especially with all the commentary – which I encourage you to have more of 🙂
You know you’re not supposed to encourage me, right? 😉
Thanks. I’m glad you liked it. I was thinking of you when I was trying to get the words out as I was gasping for breath.
… and now I learn that you do custom videos – I will have to have a good think about that 🙂
I’m pretty sure I advertised that fact years ago, but most people won’t even make suggestions, so I just spin the wheel to see what I’m going to do next.
Hello Doug…
Fantastic video clip! Super sinking. The growing panic came out beautifully. One of your best!
Glad you liked it! The mud was amazing.
Gotta say, this was a lovely video. Love hearing you begging for help that you’re sinking in quicksand. The wiggling and struggling as it sucks you under are just *chef’s kiss*
I’m glad you enjoyed it. The mud was really good, and I wanted to somehow convey how thick and treacherous it was. It felt really good. I’m sorry my viewers can’t experience that.
Thank you, for your patronage.
Oh absolutely. I definitely got a great sense of how helpless you were in the deadly soft quickmud!!
That’s nice to hear. Watching it is nothing like experiencing it, first hand.
I 100% believe you! I have got to come out that way and let it have me!
