Does covering/tarp or any protective ruin the experience?

[ThatsUnfairTV]

Does having tarp or any plastic covering put around a room lessen the experience for some? I know that my appreciation for WAM was built on situations where someone on TV was surprised with a pie in the face or gunge and also sitcoms where there would just be an all out pie fight.

Of course I was delighted to see upon the emergence of the internet that other people shared the interest and not too soon after that many producers started coming out with material. At first, this was a serious WOW factor but then after awhile seeing a plastic covered room kind of ruined it a bit eventhough there were no protective coverings (goggles, jumpsuit, etc) on the girl.

I guess it is more the fact that I know the inevitable is coming and the actresses know too and it is tough to suspend disbelief with the whole scenery being covered up whereas in an open scenario where nothing is covered heightens the anticipation.

Oh, I am strictly talking about stuff that you would watch on TV/video and the internet and not personal experiences that you share live with a partner.

Any thoughts?

Tarp etc dosen't bother me - so long as the girls get messy I'm happy.

Ah yes, when that happened on TV, that was great, and I always spoke of my wish to do the same in the house. My mother informed me of how they always cleaned up afterwards, like I didn't know, and certainly wasn't in favour of my pie fight ambitions.

When I appeared on a TV show that had buckets of custards thrown around the set at the end, I was quite keen to see how this was done, especially as the set resembled a home, complete with carpet.

They had a bunch of people in protective suits and masks, looking almost like the agents in the E.T. film. They were armed with something that looked like a window squeegee, and frantically scraped the custard off the walls, as there was to be filming resumed within the hour.

The carpet itself was scraped. I remember asking a stage hand how long the carpet lasted. "Oh, it gets replaced every few months, but it's very good at withstanding what we do to it every week." He was absolutely right, and I asked for the brand name, as I certainly could do with some due to a certain messy room-mate who had caused no ends of food stains after a post-pub meal.

Any thoughts?

At the end of the day, I guess you do have to look after your own home. If you won the lottery though, then a darned good trashing is in order!

Hi Thatsunfairtv

I agree with you entirely. A plastic covered set or a studio setting removes a lot of the excitement for me. Like you said - the whole inevitability of it ... we know, the girl knows, precautions have been taken to avoid the mess getting too wild etc etc

To illustrate this ... recently a new producer has posted loads of samples of some amazing cute girls getting messy. In the past, this would have got me all excited. Now though, it just seems really really sterile - the girls just sit there while mess is poured onto them by someone unseen. They're getting paid. They know it's coming. They aren't wearing their own clothes. It's all been set up so carefully, and the girls know they can just step into a nearby shower as soon as the set is done. Yes the girls are so cute and sexy ... but it borders on boring.

Now of course - who can afford to go trashing a kitchen or living room every time they want to do a messy shoot? Nobody! That's ridiculous.

So plastic covering it is.

Actually ... there have been a lot of WAM scenes without the plastic. Eromaxx, Splosh, Leonmoomin (by shooting outdoors) and some of the great amatuer sets over the years (the classic scene with those two big breasted women going nuts with really sloppy pies in an unprotected kitchen springs to mind).

Anyway - my post isn't to offer a solution or alternative ... simply to agree with you that I love a more natural scene where you can lose yourself in the illusion that it hasn't all been carefully planned in advance. I think the key is spontinaeity (damn how do you spell that word?), but in a realistic WAM world, the plastic is usually neccessary.

Hi

Rather a dull compromise from me!

I don't like plastic in the background but can tolerate it on the floor. As soon as it's in the b/g, the whole shoot looks like it's taking place in an oxygen tent and whilst it may be essential cos of the location, as Phantom says, there is an 'inevitability' about it.

On the floor, I don't mind so much, especially if it is flat and doesn't make too much noise. Even so, it is best to keep it out of shot as much as possible IMHO until it is covered and there's rolling around to be done.

Obviously some form of covering will be needed in a home environment. In a TV or film scene this may not be necessary, but I don't really mind one way or another.
I do rather like the sense of anticipation, though, when we see lots of things like pies, gunge or paint, all neatly lined up in the background at the start of a scene, so that we are aware that the actresses know exactly what is inevitably going to happen to them in the next few minutes!

i do think the opertunity to totally mess up my living room is amazing and always take the opertunity to do so before redocorating, tho as people say...unfortunaly you cant do that evry day so in my experience if the dust sheet or plastic is neatly applied then it doesnt ruin any of the messy fun at all and is still an amazing experience

heres a room i messed up earlier lol

I think it depends on exactly what any individual "splosh consumer" is looking for in a scene. You say you liked the scenes where someone was surprised, so tarps, etc, would obviouly reduce that effect.

I prefer the idea of someone getting gunged because they want to, they know what's coming, and more than that they are actually into it and actively want to get messed up, so the plastic floor, dungeon setting, etc, all add to the anticipation.

As the model walks into the scene, all dressed up in an outfit she's chosen and carefully put on, checking that nothing is out of place, she knows full well that several litres of custard are about to be poured slowly into her clothes, while she does the same to her acomplice. She's looking forward to it happening, and the feel of the gunge flowing through and over her costume. For her, stepping onto the plastic is like stepping into the heart of the arena of pleasure, where she can indulge her wildest messy clothed fantasy!

On a more practical note, there's the issue of cleaning up after a scene - for me it takes the fun away if half an hour of fun is followed by three hours of heavy duty cleaning.
