Ludella Hahn's Latest

[quietness]

I just wanted to drop in to say I picked up Ludella Hahn's Human Mode Glitch video and for what I'm into, this video was very good. If she is this good as a robot in all of her vids she may have just pole vaulted to the top of my list. She and Diana should make a video together. Fingers crossed.

Ludella if you read this please keep up the great work.

I purchased this as well and was very happy with her performance.

I've so far only bought the Mind Controlled Model bot, but I quite liked that one. I am very tempted to get this one.

That video is actually a commission she did for me, I wrote the script and I am extremely happy with her performance. This is something that I wanted to do a long time ago and finally got the funding to do it. To me it’s very interesting how many different nuances constitute what we call “ASFR”, and how many different approaches are there regarding videos catering our tastes; with that in mind, what I tried to do was to gather the different aspects of our fetish that I enjoy the most into a single video, justifying everything through the script. I'm really glad to see you are liking it and I'm definitely motivated to continue writing

Nice work, Araenae. I was noticing how they moved from point to point throughout the video and was thinking that whoever had ordered this custom was probably someone from here. I tried to do the same with the last two Cory Chase customs that came out. It's a bit more expensive to order your own custom obviously but when you have creative control it seems to be worth it in the end.

When my script grows up, I want to be just like you guys.

Videos are resembling the robo-smuttiest stories posted in the FembotWiki archive, in FC, or on MCStories. There is a high mark being set, for plot writing and fembot-ness; and around the corner, Sir Anthony F'n Hopkins as the star scientist behind HBO's new Westworld series.

Will they come to the same conclusions we did, as they roll out their plots? Will they start with the basic, familiar ASFR story devices? I hope they do the good, simple stuff we've known since the late 1990s; and build towards the depth of exploration we are attempting. But will JJ Lensflare and his writer's room zoom past us, writing scenes that make us say, "Damn, I've never read or thought about or seen that trope."?

I've got a nice expository device written into an outline, about a sleeper-Stepford housewife greeting her spouse at the door, then trying to convince her dominant mistress/wife that they should buy their first fembot. Together, lying on the couch, they leaf through the sales brochure, talking about how the units perform, what they can do, everything. You get to see pictures, pages like maybe Kube^2's phenomenal work. The actresses would have a printed prop, serving to anchor them to the content [which must be real because it exists in the brochure], and makes for what I think is a powerful opportunity to gracefully dump a metric ton of exposition into a story.

A major point of the exposition is how the fembot's calculations don't resemble a mind, that she is an unthinking thing, and that her perceptions and memories are entirely programmable. She is unreal, an utterly changeable non-person.

The video could show scenes from the catalog, as they imagine them. Other locations, fragments of scenes, cut-away opportunities - nearly unlimited chances to show bits where you could normally never establish all the rules the audience needs to know, without the exposition ever becoming grating, boring, complex.

The couple gets to the brochure's back pages, and they see the conversion kit option. They discuss the morality, and housewife confesses she would do almost anything for her spouse's pleasure, including applying the kit to a convert friend. She brings a framed photo of one she would offer, and mistress reveals the truth and forces her to recognize how incongruously inhuman is her willingness to convert a friend, a human woman into a robot. Cue her nymphish identity/behavior malfunction crisis!

Housewifey couldn''t see that the framed wedding photo is herself, that she is partially disassembled on the cover of the brochure they've been reading. But don't worry, she's malfunctioning but she's not deeply disturbed by the revelation: we already know how things work from exposition earlier, how the catalog says, befuddled fembot = fun; sobbing fembot no good, so they aren't programmed that way.

The story deserves to be in a better writer's hands than mine.
Wish me luck.

I think the one's I've done with Cory and Diana and a few others have worked well because they've been fairly simple to produce, act and follow. I wish I had the ability to "go deep" like some of the authors here do but I don't think I'm very creative or in depth with my, and I use this term very loosely, screenplays.

I read all of your suggestions in the video ideas threads and most of them are very appealing and I would love to see them produced but it is going to have to be by someone who can not only do it properly but they have to understand what you're conveying. I think a lot of your stuff might get lost in translation if it isn't tackled by someone with a firm grasp on our interests. That's not a bad thing at all. You come up with and are able to explain very fine details that I tend to gloss over, not only because I try to keep it simple but because I don't think of those things to begin. There is a lot to be said about some of the minutiae that a lot of the authors here round out their stories with, getting the right producers to transfer those things to video is the trick.

That being said, I love the above idea.

Thanks for your enthusiasm, and your realistic appraisal of the difficulties.

I've hardly cracked the code, proved my thinking by writing complete stories, but I think structure is key, and then exposition is the challenge to beat. What is the excuse for information being pushed into the open where we can see it? Is there anyone human present to explain to, and if so, do they even need to hear a bunch of stuff they would already know about?

Another prospective story, requiring no special locations or cinematic effects, involves a woman who discovers her husband has a robot fetish, and convinces her fembot friend to teach her how to role-play for him. [Who needs belly-dancing lessons, right?]

A lesson on this much better subject allows them to meet in the fembot's living room, talking about why she wants to learn. The wife has a little drink, then performs a bit of what she (saw/thinks she saw) by sneaking a look at her husband's videos. She's a bit giggly, and her concepts are primitive. The fembot also did some video research, and offers suggestions as they build a back-story and routine to knock his socks off.

As the wife gets the hang of it, the performer's real talent will need to shine through. The wife disappears into her role, enjoying it more and more while her fembot friend plays along, having not considered that her friend might have already been a robot to start.

The wife's humanity is gone, and the audience can wonder - was she ever a real person? Did she just get transformed before our eyes? Is she going to snap out of it and wink before the end? No, she will demonstrate extreme sexiness and objecthood, malfunctioning so convincingly post-coitus that we don't need to see smoke or an open panel to conclude with strong confidence that she is not faking, that the faking was when we saw her originally, thinking she was human.

The scene begins with a good excuse for talking, for the (sleeper) and fembot to define their safe space for a sexy discussion (exposition such as, "not that (sleeper) is into chicks, of course"). Backstory exposition, ground rules exposition, then talking about specific fembot portrayal tricks or critiques - it's all exposition built-in, not dropped on top and jammed in afterwards.

The most tricky part is getting the fembot performance content right; but FC members can write such content, because it's a combination of what we have seen in our silliest, oldest, lamest videos, with a critique built from all that we wish they were doing instead.

Your stories are great for encouraging them to try for more ambitious material, to get more audience and attention. I know my ideas won't seem plausible without proper scripts, story-boarding and experienced performers. Fortunately, there are more actresses now than ever before who have acted in complex, idea-based fembot stories.

Studios like Brazzers and Mind Control Theater started off with the locations and sets, the on-screen and behind-the-scenes talent, and then they reached out sometimes to our material. I would hope that with a bit of cheaply-purchased music effects and stock footage to make up for locations hard to stage, an editor and performers with a bit of ambition could take the pieces I offer, and confidently know what they are aiming for. Then it's like a dare - "I dare you to put the other ladies to shame, that they should have to study your erotic harnessing of forces, in order to feel confident of their own ability to make their fans' mouths drool and their wallets disgorge."

Nice work, Araenae. I was noticing how they moved from point to point throughout the video and was thinking that whoever had ordered this custom was probably someone from here. I tried to do the same with the last two Cory Chase customs that came out. It's a bit more expensive to order your own custom obviously but when you have creative control it seems to be worth it in the end.

I am so tempted to grab those videos from Cory Chase, they seem fantastic! but I need my finances to recover a little bit it'll have to wait a few weeks.

The video could show scenes from the catalog, as they imagine them. Other locations, fragments of scenes, cut-away opportunities - nearly unlimited chances to show bits where you could normally never establish all the rules the audience needs to know, without the exposition ever becoming grating, boring, complex.

This is one of the hardest challenges: to provide exposition to the story, but it's also necessary to keep in mind that this is an adult video, and exposition must be done in the most visual way possible. What I tried to do was to set-up some 'goals', which in this case was something like "I wanna see the fembot frozen", "I wanna see some robotic movement", "I wanna see the fembot being turned off" and so on, and wrote the script based on those sequences in an organized fashion. Visual effects and props aren't as important to me, because for me the erotic component is the "control fetish" (to quote an awesome geocities page some member of this board -whose name escapes my memory- wrote several years ago), which is, the ability to have complete control over the other partner, and fembots turn out to be, in my opinion, the most logical way to achieve that.

Studios like Brazzers and Mind Control Theater started off with the locations and sets, the on-screen and behind-the-scenes talent, and then they reached out sometimes to our material. I would hope that with a bit of cheaply-purchased music effects and stock footage to make up for locations hard to stage, an editor and performers with a bit of ambition could take the pieces I offer, and confidently know what they are aiming for. Then it's like a dare - "I dare you to put the other ladies to shame, that they should have to study your erotic harnessing of forces, in order to feel confident of their own ability to make their fans' mouths drool and their wallets disgorge."

Another scenario that would turn out better would be to have a producer shoot the raw scenes, and then delegate someone from the community to do the edition. In my opinion, there are several experts at editing and special effects among us, that could produce an 'absolute top of the line' video, given that they're 'into' the fetish, but that would take a certain degree of confidence between producer and editor. I had a very good looking friend of mine who offered me to shoot this kind of video several years ago, but she -like me- speaks native Spanish and very little English, so the possible outcomes were to create a 'silent video' (lame), or a video in Spanish with English subtitles (even lamer, and it would've taken longer), so I didn't went through with that.

I'm very happy with the way things work nowadays, there's a fantastic group of very talented producers and actresses such as Ludella, who understand our fetish and there's a decent market, like us, with enough wallet power to lure in more talent and have the level of supply and demand we have today.
