VIDEO: Ariel - Anderssen Explorer- Complete

This film was inspired by Ariel's gung-ho posh character, Anderssen Explorer, who originally appeared in a single-update hot wax video shot in our Egyptian set in the studio. She was such good fun that we thought we'd give her another outing.

However, it is fair to say that as per Hollywood, the Sequel had some flaws. It was an early attempt at a much more ambitious storyline, but was shot on location in Spain with just four people, all of whom appeared on screen.

It turns out that making something in a cinematic style, with lots of cuts, puts a heavy requirement on the editor, and puts a lot of demands on the crew to avoid continuity problems by shooting lots of footage with cutaways and closeups and multiple angles. Doing this with just four people, when all of you are in front of the camera for a lot of the film, turned out to be over-ambitious.

Consequently, editing the film proved to be an absolute nightmare, and when the first two parts were not particularly well received, I put off editing the final part because I knew it would be even trickier to edit- as the shooting day had gone on, we'd pushed on to get it all done and consequently had even bigger holes in the continuity to cover up somehow in the editing.

We learned a hell of a lot from shooting it, the main part of which is that unlike stills where you can cope with multi-tasking, for video you just plain need more people to do a decent job, at least as soon as you do anything more ambitious than two rolling cameras, one long take. But it seemed a shame not to put this experimental video out in finished form.

So for today's archive-come-new update as a bonus to celebrate the 11th birthday of Restrained Elegance, I'm pleased to present "Anderssen Explorer" in its full, finished form for the first time, complete with new third act in which Sammie and Elle and Ariel all get tied up, sometimes more than once, and the plot (such as it is) is finally revealed!

Oh, and we've learnt quite a bit about visual storytelling since then, so these days the characters don't have to do quite as much heavy lifting with the expository dialogue to explain what's happening!

Be gentle with it- treat it as an interesting insight into how the site has evolved in the half decade or so since we shot it, and enjoy the hot babes struggling in bondage, OK? ;-)

Here's the original storyline:

Golly, Anderssen! What can it mean? Sent for from the stacks of the Bodleian Library in Oxford, where she'd spent a couple of dusty months trying to track down where the Conquistadores might have sent their Southern American loot. Sir Washinton Armstrong, her Professor and mentor, has sent for her to come immediately to Madrid and await word from him. Anderssen, you're off again!

But all is not going to go smoothly for our heroine. Shortly after getting a new cable from Sir Washington, telling her meet him at his camp, some cad chloroforms and ties her up! Oh no! What will she do?
