Making a good spanking video is not that easy.

At first sight, a spanking video has a much easier time than the written word when it comes to spanking fiction.    If nothing else, a film maker doesn't spend hours at the thesaurus searching for suitable synonyms for "buttocks" that won't make the reader chortle at such an odd choice.

But if you watch many videos, you see that they have their own particular problems.

If the piece is scripted, your average spanking actor/actress often has less than perfect acting skills.   If the director decides to get over this by letting them create their own lines as the story unfolds, they come up with words and phrases that totally jar on the average ear:  "I don't know.. I think I shall give you another six, just to be sure..."   Really?

So we seem to have evolved three main styles:

• American - where the emphasis is on hard strokes delivered hard:  set up is usually at a minimum and aftermath often is just a long still of a very bruised bottom.
• English - a great deal of explanation of why the action is taking place, complete with dialogues with the victim to check on how painful the experience is turning out.
• European:  two main schools.   First are those that have no real set-up, just straight into a major blistering of rumps owned by ladies who really, really do not seem to be enjoying themselves.   And second, carefully staged set ups that result in major blistering of rumps owned by ladies who also do not seem to be enjoying themselves.

I think the biggest difficulty film producers face is that they need to fill up to an hour of material, or just produce short clips with higher overheads.

Filling an hour with nothing but spanking is not easy.   You can try the tested and true script of giving her an over the knee spanking, followed by a strapping followed by a caning:  and you still have more than half an hour left.   So we can repeat the exercise with a second schoolgirl (or similar).   Still not there?   How about this for a unique twist:  the person carrying out the discipline is not authorized to do so, and gets the make weight to fill all the time.

And that seems, to me, to be the biggest single problem of video production.   In the majority of productions, the cost of decent scripting is seen to be too much:  people watching "real" spankings don't need a decent set up, setting or aftermath:  all they want is bottoms to be filled with pain.   If you are going to invest in a one hour film, having a good script is - by my way of thinking - absolutely essential.   And even if you are producing 3 minute clips, wrapping them up in plausible stories would mean a lot to your average viewer.

Enough for now.   We shall return to this topic again for a more detailed look as specific areas.
