beyond the lights … with Mina

last november, Mina came to shoot an idea we had in mind since a long time : one day, a member asked me if we could shoot a bondage session for hours, with the girl bound from beginning to the end, till exhaustion. I spoke about it to Mina and years passed without getting the right time to do it. Introducing “beyond the lights” feature last year, I gave more options to myself, including shooting in low light condition if necessary. Everybody understands those “beyond the lights” pictures are not related to a photo studio session, the most important is not the quality but the game between the girl and the rigger. So, I decided to give a first try to this idea of long term bondage : I installed one camcorder on a tripod and kept another one waiting for my hand.

We started at 4:30 PM and the idea was simple : the whole session has been filmed (except when I had to change the tapes) and I didn’t give any break to Mina. In the beginning, she’s handcuffed in addition to the hood made in latex which made her blind. I also added a metal collar locked with a padlock with a surprise that Mina didn’t see : she was able to feel there is something attached to the collar but she had all the time to guess what the thing was :) For the little story, Mina has been sick two weeks before and I know she would hate my first idea. As you can see on the preview picture, we started playing in a place you didn’t see a lot on my websites : in front of my bedroom’s window. I have a nice view on the big tree in the garden and the place is almost hidden from the neighbours … almost is the right word because Mina was potentially visible to attentive eyes.

So, as I said, we started with handcuffs before I tied Mina with ropes : I took the cuffs off when she was bound enough. 20 minutes later, Mina was tied and I opened the window … the cold wind of november was a real challenge, even more when I started to cut the dress. I think the situation was a little strange for Mina, blind and tied, hearing the scissors and feeling the cold wind touching her soft skin. You will notice I used the flash on my camera for few shots only : I prefer to get a natural effect for my pictures even if we lose sharpness and/or brightness. Unfortunately, there is no sun and the light decreased slowly : I was unable to get the best result when we moved to the bed at 5:03 PM (thanks to the exif infos) … 10 minutes in the cold wind and Mina was totally frozen. I closed the window when I started to immobilize her on the bed.

5:15 PM : I clamped her nipples and took the time to use my second camcorder while she was waiting for the next step. She got enough time to guess I attached a watch to the collar … and she loved that idea ! 20 minutes later, I layed down Mina on the satin sheets and tied the hitachi magic wand to the ropes. She got the pleasure to bear the vibrator for 15 minutes : an excellent way to fight the coldness of the room :) You have to know I used the watch locked to the collar to play with Mina … asking her about the past time or telling she would have to wait five minutes more.

After two hours enclosed in the latex hood, Mina got the light back in her beautiful eyes : I changed my ropework and, as you can see watching the pictures, she was strictly tied at 6:23 PM. Because I wanted to shoot for hours, I had a plan alternating basic and strict restraint … foot linked to the arms tied in the back, spread leg and painful ankle, that new position wasn’t comfortable at all. However, 20 minutes later, Mina was always trapped in this posture and I even added some ropes playing with the bed structure ! Why did I got the idea of the watch ? Just because I wanted to show we respected the rules of this game. Of course, it would have been better if somebody else would have been able to shoot the video while I was busy with ropes or camera but I filmed the watch to show you we weren’t cheating.

Because I didn’t edit the video footage yet, I don’t remember exactly when we leaved the bedroom for the living-room. I didn’t take lot of pictures in this room because of the light conditions : I gave a long slave training to Mina, linked to the heater with a leash. It was a little bit evil because she was forced to stay on her knees : of course, her arms were always bound and I regularly teased her with nipple clamps or plastic bag. You know Mina loves breathplay games … she got a long session ! At 7:53 PM, you can see the condensation in the bag :) I must admit the time was a little bit slow even for me … it’s not so easy to do an interesting session for hours and I think another girl is needed to bring a sensual touch to the whole scene. I promise we’ll do it again with a girl to tease Mina … in the end, I got crappy pictures on the sofa and I didn’t publish it. You will have the surprise to see what happened on the couch when the full video will be released … I took the last picture at 8:43 PM (okay, you win, I would post it in the behind the scenes category), just before to untie Mina.

Finally, she has been under control during 4 hours and a half … I knew it wouldn’t be enough to push her to the limits. So, next time, we will have to try to reach the 8 hours limit : I think it’s a reasonable goal with a strong girl trained like Mina. Now, I let you check the pictures … one last question : I shot almost 5 hours of video and I would like to know what you want. Do you prefer a long video without any cut to live the whole session or a footage without the boring parts ? Please let me know posting a comment, it would be helpful to know the best way to work on this unusual movie for you ! Thank You and Congratulations to Mina for all these hours in ropes …
