Episode Development: 


***Please note that the following contains spoilers*** 

Casting and scheduling finally worked out for Episode 9. When you work with amazing cast it becomes an issue of patience and timing.

The story in EP9 intends to be the main theme. I know we are here to do porn but sometimes a sexy story can be just as fun. I thank the cast for understanding this especially! The music I found for this was a public domain marching band piece that reminds me of something out of a classic movie. It had the bombastic highs and lows that lent space to the story.

So first of all we "Meet the Fixers"... Enter Laura Richards and Severina (making their Revenge debut) and of course Zepp. As they step out from the helicopter I couldn't resist having them posing in a menacing fashion. What I discovered is that helicopters take up a lot of prims just for a show prop and so just the exterior of Sindee's house was used.

There is so much to tell the audience by the time that the Fixers get out of the helicopter that I used Laura's briefing to Madame President as a narration tool. This is how we find that Sindee is missing or in hiding with a mysterious third "suspect" while Malone and Katina are being arrested. Poor Kat, she really does a lot of jail time in this series.

So back to the Fixers... Zepp is in his sexy black suit and sunglasses while Laura and Severina dressed as if they had been playing tennis. Laura and Severina's characters evidently have been interrupted from their game by Madame President, Rachel Avro to "Fix" the situation with Sindee Bluthe.

Madame President was created as an anesthetic for the real life world of politics but also Rachel and her Fixers are a tease to the next season. Rachel's character is introduced yelling at Laura on her presidential phone. As Laura responds about Sindee's laptop we detect her disdain towards Madame President.

When Laura and Severina continue their game of tennis we get to learn more about their dynamics with madame president.  We learn that they knew her in college. We know that Laura is plotting against her and that both her and Severina have a past with Rachel.

Also with the reference of agent Zepp we learn that something will happen to Sindee and The Virus. This set up leads to the finale of this second season.

When shooting this episode I had the pleasure to get to know Laura Richards who produces a dance troupe, Debauche. What her and partner Geordie do with in-world settings and effects and choreography is truly amazing. So please contact her in-world if you would like to go to a show. I'm an instant fan and will have more to share with you all on this soon.

Director's Notes: S2E8


(Best Viewed in HD)


Casting:


Malone MayDay: The Ex-boyfriend a/k/a the Club-owner

XXSindeeXX: (Sindee Bluth)

Episode Development: 


***Please note that the following contains spoilers*** 

This episode is had to be split in to due to scheduling, but the pay off is that its going to far more exciting.

For two weeks I have plotted out a scene for a home invasion of Sindee Bluth. I later learned that the narration is what helps you when you can't get your stars on set at the same time.

So we have the beautiful Malone and Sindee on set and they have a lot of screen chemistry in the Finale of Season One. The fact that they had a one-to-one scene is actually a hidden blessing. They were both so fun to work with on this episode and they really enjoyed their characters.

Sindee is an amazing actress! From costume to expression to the smaller details that sometimes barely make it into the final cut she is a true professional. Malone is a bad boy and so its the perfect match. When animations don't work perfectly they still kept it exciting and beautiful to film.

In this episode I wanted to show that Sindee isn't simply being taken advantage of. Her resistance continues for the entire episode. Also there are off screen characters that will come into play later.

The third star is some public domain music that reminded me of Episode 7 which allowed the narration to work. It starts and ends with Sindee hanging in front of Malone but that won't mean that the timeline of Episode 8 won't feature in the next.

I hope you enjoy

Interview with Katina Cazalet


The furniture item featured in this video interview with Katina is available on Second Life's Market Place. A percentage of all sales will be shared with Kat because we value his time. Click here to find out more.










I invited Katina Cazalet to my multi-scene rental to talk about the finer things in Second Life.




Half way through shooting the video I realized that this interview was far more powerful than any video that I could film or edit. With that in mind.... and if you haven't already.... meet Katina...

Carly: What made you get into the Second Life Porn Scene and how long ago was this? 
Katina Cazalet: I am guilty by association. A friend of mine started doing porn vids to promote their club and just out of enjoyment. And showed me a blog that was covering it. I was pretty much over with SL at that point, but reading about those movies on the blog got me interested. Little by little it became my new point of interest for SL. It was around 5 years ago. It just seemed something fun, and when I started going to the parties the whole scene around it was new and refreshing to me.

Carly: So what made it refreshing compared to that point where you were 'over it'? 
Katina Cazalet: Two reasons: one was purely personal, a relationship that ended and a feel of 'loss' and lack of motivation to stick around. I needed something different, new friends, new people. In that sense it was a big change of air. The other reason is that I have always been a rather sexual person in SL and loved photos, especially fun and strange ones, but I never really knew of any community of artists or anything. The Sexiest Porn stars group was to me a place that catered to both these aspects.

Carly: How did Beaver's Digest begin? 

Katina Cazalet: I have to thank Isabelle Cheviot (Dogstar Productions) for that. She has done a wonderful job with her blog, organizing a lot of new photo-shoots every week, interviews etc , on top of her own movies. I was 'reviewing' movies, magazine and art exhibitions for the Sexiest blog in the past, but I hadn't done it for a few months. Isa came up with the idea to make a post that would 'sum up' weekly or so the most relevant releases in the adult scene. I enjoyed it and gave my availability to run it.

Carly: How (pause and repeat). How the hell do you manage to keep up with everything that is going on in the scene? 
Katina Cazalet: I don't! I am pretty sure I miss a lot of stuff. But all I do is just putting some time and effort into it, really. Anyone could do the same job I do, they just have to peruse the notice history of the porn groups (Racheal Rexen does a fantastic job daily with the *SL Porn* blog ). It is just time consuming, especially trying to feature those magazines that are available only at certain sims, or movies not promoted through the groups and that reach me just by word of mouth of searching the latest uploads on NaughtyMachinima.

Katina Cazalet:
[feel free to edit anything out really ]  
Carly's afterthought...  I had to mention her [] message to me because this shows how awesome Kat is.

Carly: You have starred in many films.. what is your funniest experience? 
Katina Cazalet: I knew I should have prepared some funny anecdote! I'd say when I starred in Dillon's "The Jungle" ..my sexiest role to date for sure. I'd love to reprise that role! If you want me to explain the 'joke'... in that movie I am the person in the Predator avi, lol.)

Carly: Predator? you have to explain! 
Katina Cazalet: Predator the movie with Schwarzenegger, Jesse Ventura etc, lol. Wow two former governors. I wonder if I should run for office some day.

Carly: What office are you running for now!?
Katina Cazalet: Secretary of Treasury, and them make off with the cash .-)

Carly:  Okay Secretary of Treasure... in the Revenge Series your character has a few ups and downs .. what would you want for her in an ideal world? 
Katina Cazalet: You know, that little farm we got a glimpse of in one of the episodes, seems quite a nice place to settle in...And bury some corpse in should trouble follow me :-)

Carly: What do you see as the major changes from five years ago when it comes to SL Porn? 
Katina Cazalet: The obvious part is, compare how 'good' avis look now with everything mesh and how it looked 5 years ago with system feet and flexi hair. Everything is much easier for photographers and filmmakers. Although, there are many more photographers in the scene compared to filmmakers, and the filmmakers are less productive as a whole. In the past, it was common for directors to boast movies in triple digits. Not all of that was legit maybe but there was more activity and very grassroots. I think the scene grew and matured, but I think it would be great if  more importance was given to movies. Flickr played a big role in that, but in general it is much easier to make and share a picture compared to a movie, so this shift was bound to happen anyway.

Carly:  So what is your stance on drama in porn. Are they compatible? 
Katina Cazalet: Don't know. Is 'drama' compatible with anything in general? Sometimes we are quick to call 'drama' legitimate feelings people have. In general, I don't like public showings of private affairs and I hope people can be mature enough to not air their problems in a way that makes others feel uncomfortable.

Carly: Have you been on the receiving end of drama in the scene? being a very popular figure   
Katina Cazalet: The most common drama that comes at me for my 'role' is about people feeling underappreciated. And I can relate to that, I heard it so many times and I really feel sorry about it. SL is a great place but it's hard to look at 'recognition' from a community. that is very specific without linking it to be 'in' or 'out' of some clique. It is not quite like that, but it is how many perceive it, and if their motivation is not deeply rooted in passion for the 'art' , they get discouraged.

Carly: What advice can you give porn stars and filmmakers that are new to the scene? 
Katina Cazalet: Have fun. Do it because it is something you like doing. Don't expect 'success' or even less , money. You can get all the help you need from others, all the technical tips, support too, but only you can deal with staying motivated.
