This is my third post on Uncle Bob’s Woodshed. My first was about 4 videos featuring Ten Amorette that appeared on clips4sale in September 2011 and the second from last January was about five videos that appeared on clips4sale between September and November 2013 along with three older videos from 2010 through 2012 with Kat St James and Sarah Gregory. To summarize, I really liked the Ten Amorette videos and I go back to them quite often. I also liked the three Kat St James and Sarah Gregory videos but I wasn’t impressed with the five more recent efforts since I thought the technical quality was unacceptably poor. I decided to give Uncle Bob another chance and I recently downloaded two videos that were posted in originally posted in March of this year (2014). They are called “Erica Scott Losses a Bet” and “Sweet Revenge featuring Erica Scott”.
‘Erica Scott’ is a name that I recognize even though I’m not
familiar with her work, which is an oversight that I will have to correct. Since watching these two videos I have found
that she has a blog (http://ericascottlls.blogspot.ca/)
that I’ve begun to follow and, like Niki Flynn, she has written an autobiography
which I want to read. And I haven’t
forgotten that I was going to write a post on Niki Flynn’s autobiography, maybe
I can cover them both at the same time.
“Sweet Revenge” begins with a couple in a hotel hallway
arguing about the wife flirting at a party.
The scene isn’t really convincing but it suffices to set up the
video. They argument continues after
they enter the room and soon Uncle Bob pulls Erica Scott over his knee for a
hand spanking, This spanking last about
5-1/2 minutes and it makes up the majority of the video. The problem with the scene is that the chair
he sits on is located between the bed and a desk in the hotel room and this
severely limits the possible camera angles.Most of the video is shot from behind with only a short unsuccessful
attempt at a face shot late in the spanking which fails due to both the camera angle and the lighting.
This is a case where a little more time spent planning before turning on
the camera would have resulted in a much better product.
After the hand spanking, Uncle Bob has Erica
leans on the desk and he finishes the session with his belt in a scene that lasts about 90 seconds. The video is filmed with a handheld camera and technical quality is
acceptable. The premise is fine and I
liked Ms Scott but Uncle Bob, who is always the top is his videos, isn’t really
an actor and that shows in the introductory scene in the hallway. But, the layout of the hotel room proves to
be a handicap that the video simply can’t overcome. The
whole video runs just under 9 minutes. Overall, I was disappointed with “Sweet Revenge” because it
could easily have been a much better video.
The premise of “Erica Scott Losses a Bet” is given in the
title so this video avoids an awkward opening scene. It opens in black-and-white (which I liked) with
Erica lying on the bed and Uncle Bob approaching her as he takes off his
belt.
I liked “Erica Scott Losses a Bet” when I first watched it
but I noticed something the second time I watched it. Bob flubs a line about 3:20 into the video
and then he flubs another at the 7:25 mark (as I said above, he’s not an actor)
but what I noticed on my second viewing was that it was the same line both
times. After that, I went through the
video and noted the times of various lines of dialogue and other events and it
turns out that about 4 minutes of action is repeated. They haven’t even bothered to rearrange
scenes; they just repeated the scenes in the same order shot from another
camera. I know that all videos and
movies are edited but maintaining the illusion is essential and the audience will
be lost if the illusion is broken. That
is exactly what happened once I recognized the duplication; my entire opinion
of the video changed.
“Erica Scott Losses a Bet” is 11 minutes long but that
includes the 4 minutes of duplicated material.
The technical quality is generally good but there is a strange change in
hue in some of the scenes.
My two previous reviews of Uncle Bob’s work were mixed. I liked the first videos I watched but I was
disappointed with the quality of some later videos. The technical quality of these two videos is better
but the both suffer from serious flaws.
Uncle Bob has posted several videos on clips4slae since these two but I
haven’t watched any of them and I don’t know if I will.
