…was my next step after the “U Bahn Girls” production in Prague. Found this DVD in some dusted corner recently and bring you here a sneak peak (next days more) into U Bahn Girls (2) (Videorama). This production was done during the autumn of 2001 in Budapest and I wanted to make something different at that time compared to the first part in Prague. Also the metro in Budapest didn`t allow me, to be so flexible like in Prague. Much more frequent metro stations there and the abandoned ones looked not so good for the camera.
My goal was, to get more about the girls personalities into the movie. So I used the metro as a background for Interviews. A few of them worked really well and beside of the “typical” questions, that I had to ask (for the pleasure of the distributors selling policy) I got luckily some real fresh statements and sometimes even some small personal infos from them, they were real and not faked.
As you can see with Nikki here, the part after she said good bye, was shot just by accident, and what she said there, she really meant. Before it was more a mixture of real and standart answers. My Inspiration for a shooting comes mostly from the people. As more I can feel from them, or even better, they can tell me, as easy some ideas for pictures pop up in my mind. So in her case to set up a scenario, where she brings her lazy boyfriend away from his too long taking morning toilet, was not difficult to find anymore.
If I see this movie now from my perspective of today, so I have to admit, that despite of all this nowadays features like HD, 16:9, fancy digital editing effects, multiple camera recordings, etc. pp., this movie has still a very unique quality for me. And some of the sex scenes have that natural effect, that I always want to catch, as far as it is possible…
If you are interested in watching the whole movie, the DVD Version should be available at one of the major VOD Portals or at least to order at Videorama.
For all, that haven`t seen yet something from my footfetish movies, here is a 4:30 min Sneak Peak into one scene from “Macht der Füsse 7″ (TABU), which you will find included on my website Power of Feet. Next days I will present you more sneak peaks of this serial from scenes, that have a special story around and giving you more background info. The scene, you can here “smell” into was very special too. On one hand its one of the last scenes of Veronica da Souza doing a Boy/Girl set. So for all fans of her a strict must. On the other hand its the beginning of, I would say, one of my most fluent POF movies.
One of the reasons was a very lucky choice of great female actresses, on the other hand the participation of James, the only male and lead actor of the movie. He is not just a real pro as an actor, he is also a passionate footfetishist and that gives the pictures the real intense feeling. Beside of that he is a very charming guy to the girls, so the chemistry between him and the actresses was sometimes more than just professional. One asked him straight for his phone number after the scene, for some “after Talk” 
. And a good chemistry to get for the people in the set, is my biggest goal. In that whole movie it worked really well.

Belive me, there are situations occurring while shooting, that even the cameraman and me forget completely the time. In this case here our production manager interrupted us while recording these 2 hotties for MY FETISH and asked quite surprised, how long we still wanna shoot. We watched at our timecodes and realized, that we were way beyond regular time already. The reason was, that both girls (by the way they looked also amazing) did such a nice scene and each were also having a real good time with themselves. They presented us one nice position after the next, and we just wanted to catch all, what we even could. So therefore we didn`t think for the time. Take a look at the My Fetish website and you will maybe understand us. .
By the way, the location, we were in there for 2 scenes on that day, was by far one of the most crazy places, I have seen here in Prague. Couldn`t figure out anyhow, how you can describe it in one word. It was actually five Businesses combined within a flat of several rooms. One room for massage, one room for yoga lessons, a room between as hairdresser areal, in the bathroom the hairwash chair, that we had to unscrew from ground, to get into the set. Finally at the reception you could buy dresses and acessoires for your neck, hands, etc.. ! Yes, right, I said FIVE businesses. The fifth was written on the door: “Photo Studio”. That was the only thing, I couldn`t find in there,… oh sorry, no, now I know, it was in the yoga room. Doesn` t matter. Important was, that we could catch a nice scene.

Trailer of “9 to 5: Days in Porn” (by F24 Film, Munich)
“…It all started in 2003 when a porn producer came to Jens’ editing booth through a friend to get access to a digi-beta deck and screen his footage. When he told him that he studied theology and produces porn in Prague, he immediately caught the attention of the documentary director. After doing some preliminary research in Prague and Berlin at the end of 2005, Cleo Comino (producer) and Jens Hoffmann (director) traveled to the epicenter of porn…” (excerpt from the production notes from the movie homepage of 9 to 5).
After collecting 3 years of footage on porn sets and with a number of protagonists followed and monitored while this 3 years, 9 to 5: Days in Porn, the documentary movie of Producer Cleo Comino & Director/Cameraman Jens Hoffmann (Bavaria/Germany) was finally finished in 2008. From there it went one year around the globe on various filmfestivals, within Montreal, Rio de Janeiro, London, Miami, Helsinki, etc., everywhere with great success and mostly sold out sreenings. In July 2009 it was released nationwide in german cinemas and now from 27.11.2009 the DVD (engl. with subtitles) is officially released and can be ordered f.e.: at Amazon Germany.
This is by far the first documentary about porn business, that hasn`t been done in this way til today by anone else before. When I met Jens (the director) the first time in Munich, having some chat about my work, and a few times later they told me their idea, nobody could imagine, to what huge amount of work that project would grow for them. On their 3 years long “mission”, which took them mostly to the States, they visited also me from time to time in Prague at my productions and monitored the work at the set, some private moments and of course the people around. Unfortunately for the cinema version the Prague matereal couldn`t find place in the movie, but will be now on the DVD full available in an extended version. Plus several more features. So, really worth buying, folks!
(Excerpt from the Synopsis of the movie)
“…The film depicts the stories of several characters behind this multi-billion industry from Prague to San Fernando Valley. It unveils moments, from glamorous to grotesque, strange to fascinating, with offensive, absurd and sometimes funny moments happening all at once.
Filmed over a period of more than a year and structured like an episodic movie, the stories weave together. Each of them is different – unadorned and authentic, without glorification or prejudice. Disturbingly close and intimately moving, it delivers deep insight into the protagonists’ lives in – and outside – of the adult entertainment industry.
9to5 – Days in Porn is not a voyeuristic ‘making of’, but a documentary focusing on the people behind this controversial industry….”

It was a kind of strange experience for me, to see myself, what I have said f.e: 5 years ago, what was my opinion about a few things at that time, etc. and to realize, how I see some of the things today. But not too much has changed, just one major thing: In the movie you will hear me say, that one of my dreams is, one day to shoot in the states (because I have never been there). But after watching the movie I got a different opinion and I am really happy now, to work here in europe. The style, that they use to shoot there mostly is definitely a gear too extreme for me. But for a mainstream movie to shoot in the states my dream still exists, don`t worry.
“Great work, Cleo & Jens, and I am happy, that I could participate in your Project. Wish you still good success with the movie!”

Like I have promised, here is a 6 min edit of the final part with Tera Joy , that I could record with her in 2003 for the TABU DVD “Komm mit mir”. I know, that it sounds unbelivable sometimes from a “porn Pro”, but as I said, this girl surprised me at that day absolutely with her wild intensity and it was even for me the first time, that I have seen a woman squirting in front of me. Normally I would say, this was for me more a “Documentary” then a “movie scene”.
But at that time my basic goal with this production line was already to find a more personal access to the models and to get from them most of their natural behaviour as possible. I was interested about the secrets of female orgasms and had a kind of “Documentary” about it in my mind. I was many times lucky, to find models, that could forget for a while their “professional programs”, that they celebrated mostly in front of a camera and I could hit sometimes into their deep intimate corners. But still at that period I had to follow mostly also the distributors needs for their program and using therefore also the standart procedure of talking and acting.
In the next upcoming Blog Posts I will present you a selection of the very interesting ones from the 5 DVD s as short edited versions. The complete number of the full lenght versions I will make for you available on a separate website, that I will launch beginning of next year on a brand new VOD Portal. For all, that haven`t seen them yet, I can hartly recommend.
Also I have decided recently, to pick up my idea from that time again and have started already to shoot some new first test scenes, where I wanna step by step develop the way, how to go along generally. One of the first test scenes I will prepare for you in the next days and will be happy, to hear some comments of you.
But now, lean back and feel the connection with one of the most outstanding persons, that I had in front of my camera.

There is no secret, that I am a kind of movie maniac since my childhood and watching good movies is one of the main things, where I can feed my inspiration. Here is a movie, another masterpiece of filmhistory, that catched my interest so much from the day, I have seen it the first time. Il Mercenario (origin. Italian Title, 1968). It was the music, that hypnotized me immediately so deep into the characters, that I had to record it immediately with my record player at that time.
Beside of the fact, that this is (for me personally) one of the best “Spaghetti Western” ever, I could learn so much from it again, how important music is, to support pictures, scenes and of course the characters. In this case, also in this special scene here, the music and the pictures are such a homogenic fusion, that makes each minute to watch a festival for eyes and ears, a perfect composition. The shooting styles (f.e. camera angles, soundeffects, zooms), which some of the directors of these italian western developed in the 60s, were so unique and (for that time) really progressive and fascinate me til today.
The director of “Il Mercenario”, Sergio Corbucci, did in my opinion one of his best movies with this and I can recommend it to anyone, who likes this genre. The only pitty is, its very hard to find, because there is still (in my knowledge) no official international DVD Realease out there, exept of an original italian. If someone reads this and has some help for me, where to find, please comment me.
There are moments from all my shootings, that I won`t ever forget. One of these had to do with one of the most extraordinary girls, that I met in my entire pornfilm history. Her stage name “Tera Joy”.
It was in 2002. I made a small movie for a german company, did the camera by myself for it and waited in the agents photostudio, which I used as location, for the actress of the second scene. Then she came, Tereza, dressed in a simple training suit, no make up, in one hand a Mc Donalds bag, in the other hand some balloons. I thought first, she is one of the agents assistants, but then I got confirmed, its the model for the next scene, she is brand new. I sent a doubtful view to my agent, but she twinkled with her eye, I shouldn`t be concerned, I will see something really special.
After the make up she slipped out of that training suit, and went to the actor. There wasn`t a set really. It was the naked floor of the photostudio, where they both started, but what I got to see there, wouldn`t happen anymore to me after again. It was, like she released her “Beast”, her sexual “animal” inside her and came to an intense action with the actor, that I haven`t seen before in that way. So raw and natural and with such a kind of wild temptation. Even her voice and moaning was so full of raw sexual power, that it forced the male actor almost to a kind of sex battle with her, who is goin to last longer. At a certain point they were just rolling around on the floor and having wildest sex in an total untheatrical way, that I didn`t dare, to make a cut, not to loose that unique intensity of the situation.
Belive me, but this was my first scene, that I recorded with less than 3 cuts. And it was one of this very seldom moments in my whole filming time, where the real spirit of porn was around. There 2 people forgot for a moment totally, who they were, and let just their “animals” speak or act. . Pure sex.
Tereza is one of the less actresses, I met, that is pure natural in her own way, never had to change her hair colour big time or doing plastic operations, to tune her up unnecessarily like so many others. She stayed mostly the same til today. And in front of my camera she gave always 100%. Of course after a certain time and many shootings, that she did, slowly also her acting became more and more routine, but still today, when she acts (and she has a good day ), she knows exactly, how to bring her acting to a boiling point, that your blood pumps immediately downwards. Just watch one of the last Fully Clothed Sex scenes.
In 2003 she appeared also in one of my vignettes for Private (on Private Reality “Forbidden Games”) and it had to be around that time, when I got this idea of doin a kind of “study” production. Wanted to find out, how the girls do it solo in front of a camera, talking with me as open as possible and showing me, how to reach a real orgasm. I didn`t want to have some fake solo shows, I wanted to catch with my cam something real.
Here you can see now a first sneak peak into the scene with Tera Joy, that I recorded with her for the DVD “Komm mit mir” (TABU). From the main Part of the scene I will edit you a short version and bring it up to you in the next days with more info around.

Get an exclusive sneak peak here into the newest update on Fully Clothed Sex from last week (Buffering can take til 30sec., depends on your internet speed). Inspired by the first music video production, I joined, we got the idea on one of the last shootings, to make the beginning of one scene little bit like a music video.
According to the small time, we had, in the end it became a real pumping and funny videoclip, that turns later into a sexscene with Alexa Bold and Eliss Fire. I watched that scene now already dozens of times and I just love it.
So just keep in mind, if someone wants ever to close you down in your freedom, there is always a way out. And Finally with music everything goes easier…
Rock n Roll.
Sorry for the delay of new Blog Posts by me. But last week was a very busy week production wise. At first there was a new season of Fully Clothed Sex and My Fetish to shoot and then finally the production week culminated for me in the shooting of a new music video, for which I did the line production.
Again we recorded with the RED Camera, which gives amazing picture quality, also in slow motions, which they did quite a lot. Also the first time I have seen the Canon Mark II 5D in action as a filmcamera. Tell you frankly, amazing quality. But this time everything became a little bit more bigger than the first one (you will see soon, promised).
This time the video was made for a german/slovak Hip Hop music project and the set was built up in a huge abandoned factory hall. Boy! Let me tell you it was “super cold”. . The special thing in this project was the cooperation with a french film team (Director and Director of Photography), who are very experienced in shooting fight scenes.
They brought also with them 2 professional stuntguys, who have appeared in quite a lot of known french action movies. They performed (for the story of the clip) a kind of “Fight Club” alike fight in front of an exclusive audience. So, you can imagine, that was an intense atmosphere, that all the extra actors enjoyed and could forget a little bit the extreme cold that was running up their legs. I was really afraid for them, especially for the girls in their high heels and light dresses after hours of standing on that cold set, but with the help of some alcohol from inside all of them “survived” .
It was a very interesting experience, to watch over the shoulder of real movie experienced director and director of photography, how exact and focussed they work. Also to learn more about the kind of technique they use, which we (in Porn) could never afford budget wise (f.e.: special lightequipment, etc.).
On the other hand I had also to realize, how much time is getting eaten up by each of the techn. adjustments, that have to be done between the takes, f.e.: lense changes, etc.. So finally we finished with the first daylight of the next morning and I felt to bed like a frozen stone. But only one thing is important, that`s the result. And from what I have seen on the monitor, when they checked the single takes, I can promise you already a spectacular epic “Mini Movie”, that will be also broadcasted in 2 different Music and Length Versions. Will inform you about links, as soon it will be online/on air.

To this weeks update on my Power of feet website I have some additional infos for you. Its the last scene from the DVD “Macht der Füsse 6″ (TABU) and I don`t forget this production because of one special fact: The whole movie (incl. this scene) we shot just with one male actor. He was not a footfetish type before, but as the shooting developed, he started to be in it with such a deep passion, that I couldn`t figure out in the end, if he started to like it really or it was just his professionality. But for the last (this) scene the script had unfortunately for him a very unpleasant part prepared, which I could imagine, none of us would like to be in it in such a situation. . Or maybe yes…?
For those, who have no idea yet about the content of my website www.poweroffeet.com, they can take a look below at the trailer to the DVD “Macht der Füsse 4″ (TABU). (Buffering can take til 30sec., depends on your internet speed) All theses scenes are of course included on the website as also all scenes from the other POF parts.
