Be prepared for my directional debut
I intend to create an empire of inflation products, and now I'm starting off with the favourite medium of many of us: Live Action Films!
So I'll now give a glimpse, with words, of the "feel" of my works. Perhaps you already know some of my drawings and games, and I'm still evolving. My films will contain:
.
.
1. Hose in mouth.
Or some other device that will force the air through the mouth.
2. Blue eyes.
This will not be done always, but I love when a pair of blue penetrating eyes open wide as pool balls in surprise. I would like to use an actress which looks like the reporter from the film "Scream". Here is a picture of her: click here
(By the way, I'm not particularly a fan of Horror movies, but a friend made me watch it and that actress stood in my mind)
3. Comedy.
Everything will be in a context of humor and absurdity. These will be propably safe for showing to your friends since they won't look as fetish material. Who knows, perhaps they become very popular and they will end up being aired on TV. Of course you can admire them from a fetish standpoint as well.
Something I think is interesting to mention, is that maybe the inflations will not last that much time. They will last the time I feel they need to last. By instance I think in 30 seconds there can be an incredibly awesome inflation, and the context in which it happens makes it even better. I feel when it becomes way too long, like 6 minutes, it loses it's thrill.
I intend to deliver other visual gags in the same story. I think it makes it more exciting to not know exactly when the inflation is going to happen. Besides, if you watch many of my films, these other gags will give a break from the inflation, and will make it stand out more. They will give a better feel of the characters' personalities. But don't worry, the films will not be excessively long that you are biting your nails anxious waiting for the inflation. Let's say there will be at least one inflation gag in a 6 minutes picture, or shorter.
4. Popping.
This will not be done always, but in recent years I've developed a stronger interest in this element, and I think it gives it a really higher satisfaction, if done right. I will use it without blood and in a comical way. The characters will pop off-screen, or a smoke explosion will be displayed with the clothes flying away, perhaps a pair of bras too ;-)
The popped character will always be some kind of villain, or someone who was "asking for it", you know, in a bad way. The Hero or Heroine, the character who causes the other to inflate, will usually cause the popping by accident(not the expansion) and they will have some sort of "ups!" or "I messed up" reaction(I thnk this adds a lot to the comical effect, and is very exciting to us, and avoids the hero being too sadistic). They will get distracted until the explosion happens, or accidentally throw something spiky to them, or as in The Naked Gun 2 & 1/2, they will break accidentally the valve, and then just "leave as it is", or some other way that comes to mind.
5. Female characters.
For many people here, this is essential. I have a certain level of desperation for it too ;-) Very often the characters inflating will be female. Perhaps not always, but when not, they will be present in the context.
6. Different characters in each film.
I feel that when the same character inflates too many times, she kind of becomes "worn-out". When a character gets inflated for the first time, it is easier to see she as not expecting it. Different characters, more variety. Perhaps some secondary character might repeat, or the same hero will inflate different adversaries.
It is important to mention that in this first film I intend to make, I will use the same actress to represent two different characters. This is to keep the budget as low as possible. The purpose of this first entry is to show how would a film directed by me look like.
Both characters will have different clothes, and they will not be shown both at the same time. This test made in 2012, in which I filmed myself, will give you an idea of how it will look like: Youtube video I linked to minute 1:37 because I think that's the best part(when me hits me, and me ends up with a couple of teeth missing). Besides it is in Spanish, so the rest isn't that relevant.
Talking about Spanish, something I think I should mention, is that the pictures will be initially made in Spanish, then dubbed to English. I think the actresses will give more punch if speaking in they native language. Besides, there will be a lot of body language. Think again in the Naked Gun 2 scene, the reactions the characters have. The hero doesn't say "I messed up", but you can feel it with the faces he makes and the pace at which he makes his movements. Here you can see that scene at Youtube: Link

So these are elements that will probably appear often in my products. But probably not all of them all the time. I'll balance it to avoid monotony.
Here are other important aspects that I explain now:
Story
For this first film, I Intend to use the assassin vs police basic structure. As you can see, I will take several elements from the Naked Gun scene I linked. I'll do my best to making it different enough, and avoid a clone of it. Probably the movie lenght will be about 6 minutes. I expect to get better and better over time.
Funding
I created this topic to see your enthusiasm. I intend to show this forum page to the actress so she can see how profitable this can be, based on people's reactions. I will find an actress through a page called "YateCasting". I will soon open an IndieGogo campaign to get the funding for the project
This time I will only invest in the actress. The props will be whatever I can find on my way. The IdieGogo campaign will be for 7500 USD. I think with that price I will have several skilled actresses to choose from. Anyway, I intend to configure the campaign so that I keep whatever I reach at the deadline, and then offer that amount through "YateCasting", and see which actresses I can find with that.
What happens when the film is finished
The video will be put for free on Youtube. That will give you an even better idea of what I can do, and hopefully your faith in me will grow. Future videos will have a price. With that money, and more fundings for the special inflation scenes I will make better and better stuff. And I will slowly create my inflation "Empire" ;-) So more Inflation videos, and 8bit videogames, and toys will be produced, with increasing quality, until I get satisfied with it, and Disney buys the rights of my products ;-)

Well, How does it feel?
God speed, my good man.
Open for business...
