Furina 2 (out of 4)
I hope you like Furina because there's more where that came from!
The next one will have her crimson moon girlfriend and the final one the gf again and a certain Mondstadt witch.

Doppelganger
Just like the end card of the video mentions this was supposed to be a Devil Ram x Angel Rem kinda thing but we changed the idea to focus on just one model. Really lucky that Selenite had a Shadow Ann ready and waiting. The uniform was paid by me at some point, surprisingly enough. Some cosplay I "bought" gets lost or forgotten, you see.
Sand Again
Much like the Fugue video, this is light on crazy ideas and more about just looner satisfaction, a swimsuit girl playing with big balloons.
Nothing particularly wrong with that if you can at least make the picture look good!

Foog B2P
A curious shoot for sure.
Decided to fully focus on the aesthetics for this one. If you've seen the video you already know I needed to rent out some extra lights to blast the lil' pool for the pretty water caustics. Otherwise the set design carries this pretty hard; I will say wet balloons + feet was a great idea though.
My Big Pony
We are incredibly lucky to have fans who donate stuff to us. One such fan is exceptionally generous: so far they've sent us I think 6 or 7? big animal inflatables, as well as beachballs and even plasticizer which I'm very stoked to try. I've always wanted a Luna and especially the shiny version but these things are really pricy. Worse yet, Celestine wanted one as well but a different model! Imagine our shock when BOTH were delivered.
The Blue Gentleman
The much awaited Furina video.
My initial plan for it was to make it a 7 or so minute oner with balloons and props changing and being added off-frame while we'd be shooting in one corner of the room; finish up and move onto the next setpiece, all without any cuts. Unfortunately it didn't pan out due to scheduling and later on the best rental had the windows be boarded up beacause of construction outside. No natural light makes the id...

EGL/JSF/B2P+surprise
It's pretty annoying not being able to use the word 'lolita' in c4s descriptions (for fear of compliance misunderstanding) but yeah, here are two lolita coordinates. These are my clothes: I used to be in the local comm and it was a great time but then COVID messed things up for everyone. As expected.
Initial plan for this was to shoot on location in the countryside; a picturesque cottage available for rent. Alas, weather and girls' s...

There a lot of millennial 'how's it going fellow zoomers' in the way I approach the studio and its social media. Believe it or not that stuff is very genuine. I do find chicken jokey funny, I have watched like 40 episodes of skibidi toilet, I will make incomprehensible references to pimpy son OPP in my daily life. Sadly, this doesn't really fly in the predominantly boomer and gen X looner community. The only ones who will hit the dab back at me on Twitter are cressedew and generi...

Swimsuit.
It's been a rough week or two, 30+ degree weather, health problems, a shoot that came out so different to how I wanted it that I just put the thing in long-time storage, bad sales in July... I needed a dubbie. Just one. Gimme the dub. And oh wow, here it is!
The swimsuit is very revealing but hopefully it'll make people buy the video more. It has beachball ripping, it has beachball sitpopping (real, n...

Marin Kitagawa Is Not a Reader
Another one of those 'scheduled in a massive rush' videos which are becoming a staple unfortunately. Hence why it's light on story setup and such.
Celestine requested we shoot outside because of heat. Understandable. A couple of nice terraces are available for rent, you can read the history of this particular area at the end of the video. The wind was merciful and we only lost I think one balloon to it, finding a big piece in t...

Surprise Selenite ball
Surprise! It's a yoga ball!
Selenite bought it to take photos and videos for her Fansly I believe and she generously shared some with me. It's not balloons but it certainly is inflatables. She managed to capture all of that right before the Dia x Eli blow to pop, just in the corner of the room while I was setting up. Impressive as always! I really think we should use this ball in a full video somehow, later.

Weathernews popping
An idea that's been in me noggin for a long time.
You might not be too familiar with it but Weathernews is a fairly popular YouTube channel that's all about current weather in Japan; it's running 24/7 and the hosts are all cute girls (plus lethargic male meteorologists).
I have it on now and then in the background, it's good stuff. In the past they used quite a lot of green screen ...

Loudest Hunter I've Ever Seen
What a video!
Didn't have anything to upload, Selenite (and her 50 new cosplays) is away on a business trip, Carnelian was busy too. Figured out we could do a sawarineko vid somewhere I'm very familiar with: a big, pompous housing estate with limited access courtyards.
It started off on a bad note: the place was very windy because of how the buildings are positioned; air rushing th...

Wall Slam
This idea has been on the backburner for a while; I'd say at least a year. Many ways to shoot it, many characters that could fit but I decided now was the time: Aqours just graduated and also I didn't have a better project lined up for the week. Trying to make peak on a weekly schedule is really killing me at this point, it's very very hard.
I lit it a bit lame but it works; a flat look overall. Most of the b-roll was shot afte...

Countryside Ayaka
A small collection of pics and two BTS videos last week's shoot.
I've been planning this one for a while; in fact, I bought the cosplay specifically to make a video outside.
Carnelian and I actually have an agreement to schedule shoots at least 7 days in advance but considering the dependency on weather she let this one slide. I literally messaged her like 'SORRY SUNNY WEATHER TOMORROW CAN YOU DO IT'. She's al...

Racing with no finish line
Racing Takao!
A video showcasing use of a number of prints done for us by a long time friend of the studio. The prints themselves belong to another ancient fan, yak_3m. While they probably weren't the first ever Japanese fan of mine (it'd be impossible to say who that was) they for sure were the first one to contact me and compliment me on my work. On Facebook! Yes, that really was a long time ago. Since then they've released quite a...

360 masspop
It went better than expected!
The idea with a small room filled with balloons started out as an action cam thing but then I switched to remote controlling our regular A7Siii on a gimbal from the next room over. Unfortunately the latest Sony firmware broke compatibility with the DJI Raveneye and I found that out 20 minutes before the shoot at a gear rental. Bugger! Switched back to the 360 cam idea. Figuring out the problem took too long though and I was lat...

An off week
This weekend is the date for a very big cosplay event in St. Petersburg: Epic Con. All three of the girls are going with the intention of competing so... we simply couldn't shoot anything new, everyone but me is busy with preparations.
We did have some extra footage from the GwenPOOL (not spider gwen!) filming; unfortunately that footage only amounts to like a, 2.5 min clip. I will of course price it as low as possible again (that's ...

Kako x Hanekawa
A great idea by one of our biggest donation givers. Hard to say no to something like this. Hongyi toys often look goofy but they sure aren't cheap despite that!
I've been trying to deepen my understanding of lighting and the results aren't half bad. This one looks pretty darn amazing and all it took is a little planning, luck with weather (having the sun basting the windows was a key component) and a bit of money, as always. Few stud...

Bully Back
A complicated shoot all around but we managed, thankfully. A good example of preparation working out. I did a lot of thinking and planning beforehand on how to set up everything including the hoses and plugging those hoses.
Couldn't get Celestine inside the balloon in one go so we just a hose inside her balloon and waited for it to fill up again, taking pictures. Hilarious stuff (for everyone except Celestine).
Gwenpool B2P
As promised, the third post for this month, right before it ends.
Found cut footage
Soooo yeah. I made a vid from the Nero post into a c4s upload. It's almost the exact same thing: slightly different grade plus a very very short intro+outro. You can grab it if you want to help the studio recover its ratings a little bit (it's just $3) as the previous B2P was not particularly popular and of course we skipped one upload earlier in the month.
Going forward we are going to have some peak, however. Next week is Kafka HSR with some ins...

Erotic balloons with Celestine
Very messy month, April. I took a week off, then we shot the cooking show thing which didn't have any backstage pics, then I couldn't come up with anything good for the next two weeks until this idea came about. There's a slight narrative element in the clip to make it not complete slop and of course, the print also helps it stand out. It's just one print in a lineup donated by Nocreatureswereharmed - a huge thanks to them! Aside from the balloon B2P'd in the c4s video we took so...

Naboobnik
What's a 'naboobnik'? It's a word Selenite and I used for this costume... outfit... thing. 'That which goes over the boobs' is what it literally means; should be pretty obvious why we call it that. Selenite wore panties that did not come with the set because those were basically a g-string with a big heart-shaped cut in the front part. Yikes! We're trying to keep it tasteful here, Jerry!
The rental is a minimalistic room in a high-ri...

Aqours+Q24''s=fun
The custom we released yesterday came as a package deal with two photoshoots as per the customer's wishes.
It's quite unfortunate that we had to underinflate these. About a third of the collection popped during inflation. Let's just say it's very upsetting basically seeing the potentially banger video slip through your fingers in more ways than one. Had to be careful so as to have any toys to play with in the end.
UMUmperor with a net full of balloons
'Nero from Fate gets balloons blown in her PE uniform' seems to be a popular topic that comes up often in Skeb requests. To this day I am not sure if it's one person getting these or multiple people sharing their love for specifically Nero and balloon stuffing. Regardless, we used the art as inspiration, down to the net filled with balloons. It was difficult to find something that looked like the corner of a sports building or a school classroom so I settled for this wooden place...

A bit overdue but that's because there were lots of photos to go through. Carnelian took all of these and wow, she might have a hidden talent here! I tried picking the best shots + some alright ones for variety. Should definitely call Carnelian in for help more often.

Swimsuit Tifa
Wow!
This swimsuit is sooo good! When I found out Selenite had this cosplay ready and waiting I just couldn't pass up on the opportunity. Unfortunately it also had to be sent to its original owner shortly after I found out so I had very little time to come up with an idea and a way to shoot it. We ended up scheduling the pajama Hanekawa and Tifa on the same day. I simply booked two different rooms that were one floor apart. Selenite was totally surprised to...

Black Hanekawa! Now in her pretty pajamas.
A pretty simple video in terms of the idea but I do think we executed it very nicely, lots of good shots and fun balloon play. Shoutouts to LoonerWiki for donating so many balloons over time that I could keep the colour palette of the clip nice and compact.
The wireless system from the yandere video is back, now that I've learned its secrets. It's really cool tec...

Yes, latex! And the quality of the cosplay is surprisingly good. The provenance of the outfit is a bit unclear as the style doesn't match any of the makers we're aware of. Huh!
Anyway, the video will be going up on c4s tomorrow and you can check it out for yourselves. It's a non-speaking, fairly suggestive sitpop kind of thing. Too many reflective surfaces in this room, way too many. The huge window with the city view is itself a mir...
