A very small TV, only slightly taller than a can of V8 energy, sitting on a night stand, playing Escape From New York
First night in the new house! Sleeping on a mattress on the floor, watching my tiny TV, good times :)
Gonna be a while before we get things really set up, but it's coming along
Quick update: Yesterday we took the second load of stuff over to the new house and changed more of the locks. By the time we need to move big furniture the snow should be melted from around the flatbed. It's a bit chaotic, but things are progressing!
Also, I want to give a big thanks to everyone who has continued to support my content! Y'all have literally kept the heat and lights on this winter, and it has been awesome to see so many folks are enjoying my videos!
That's the big news for now, I'll keep everyone updated as we go! :)
It's quite a bit larger, which means a more dedicated filming space, and hopefully a more regular filming schedule!
Things are still gonna be a little hectic for a while, though, so editing and updates might be a little erratic until we get settled.
While I've been pretty quiet here lately, things IRL have been pretty busy.
BUT... it's gonna be worth it! Everything's pretty much squared away, and we should be moving into a new house in the next couple weeks!

I went for a fun weekend getaway and instead I find myself "Locked Out" - free on DA!
Ballgagged and handcuffed to the railing outside my hotel room, watching the snow fly... hoping I'm let back in before someone notices >_<

Kira, crouching in the snow. It is wearing a black leather vest over a pink bell-sleeve sweater, a black leather skirt, semi-opaque leggings, and knee-high boots with 6" platforms.
Don't forget to let your pets out a little longer each day as it warms up outside! Even the reclusive ones need some sun after being cooped up all winter.
A few have actually shown up in my more recent videos! It's just kinda funny how I've used *maybe* 10 sounds from the literal thousands I've collected 😅
Doing backups on all my project related files today... Y'know, given the type of content I actually create, I realistically probably don't *need* 1TB of royalty-free VFX, sounds, and music... but it's cool to have, just in case :3
Looks like @pazelbound.bsky.social has been "Snooping as Usual" - now on DA and MV!
A little tape, and maybe some time in the trunk, should teach her to mind her own business!

Strangely, yes! As soon as it came into frame, rendering would slow to a crawl. Something about that tiny grid pattern just drove it crazy, whereas more "natural" complexity (motion, people, random background clutter) doesn't seem to phase it
Doing test renders of a new video...
The same plugin that struggled to get even 0.5fps when processing the hotel carpet in my last video is quite happily running between 5-10fps in scenes with high motion, panning, varied textures, etc
It is crazy how little things can make so much difference
Wouldn't be surprised if they're just being lazy and using AI to generate their thumbnails... laaaame
Posting some videos from 2023 to my DA, realizing just how much the overall visual clarity of my shoots has improved since I upgraded to my GH5 and S23, from the old Note20 and LG Velvet
...which, at the time, were a step up from an HD webcam and a manual focus USB camera when I started in 2022
Just wanted to say I am super appreciative of all the support y'all have shown me this last year. I know it wasn't the most content-packed year, between laptops, new editors, personal stuff... but so many people have continued to encourage and help me along the way and I'm very grateful for that 🖤

Videos include: No rest for kira The Stray Kira's Possessed Plushie Caught at the Convention The Haunted Toy Forest Captive of the Year Self-Bound Bunny Payment Plan Self-Bound in the Shed Ransomwared Office Lady Chairtaped in the Hotel Study Time The one photoset available is "Vintage Dress Bondage"
In case you missed it: For those who asked for a more convenient platform to find my content (BentBox and MV are not always user friendly...) I am still uploading more stuff to DeviantArt! Currently have 12 full-length videos and 1 photoset (and lots of free clips!)

Last few years I was using a couple of VM20 shotgun mics, connected to my cameras. I just recently upgraded to the VM40's to have the onboard 32bit safety, and the freedom of placing them independently of my video recorders.
So far I haven't used any lavaliers, but I do have my eye on a set...
If you have a locker big enough to fit me at 5'10", you could shove me in there as much as you want :3
"Oh no, the audio clipped during one scene of my latest video!"
...but that's ok, because I had both mics recording onboard 32bit float safety tracks
(I don't think I can convey how satisfying it is on a deeply nerdy level to be able to say that)
I know a scene must've been good when @f0rtunato-nsfw.bsky.social sketches it so soon after I posted it ^-^
I guess since, according to you, I'm such a "meanie," next time I should just let you stay in the trunk! 😤
Oh, she got her chance to struggle plenty, don't worry :3
Hey, look what I found snooping around! @pazelbound.bsky.social should be more careful; the next captor might not be as nice as I am :3
(Little IRL recreation we did of the awesome quoted pic by @puffoillust.bsky.social while we were filming over the weekend)
Thank you! I've been trying to put a little more polish on the timing/flow of trailers and clips lately, so I'm glad it was effective :3
(And it was indeed a ton of fun to shoot! Tape bondage is such a vibe)
Chairtaped in the Hotel - Now on MV and DA!
It seems like every time I stay in a hotel, I get tied up somehow! It's ridiculous! ...hmmm, maybe I should travel more...

Expected to have a new video to post by now but one of the plug-ins I use is having an absolute fit trying to process the visually busy carpet pattern every time it comes into frame, slowing down to like 0.5fps, so I'm having to render in little chunks to avoid crashes >_<
Being tied up in @pazelbound.bsky.social's closet is more fun than the beach, anyway :3
Hey, you don't hear me complaining!
...or maybe that's just because of the muzzle...
Expectation: with this new laptop, editing will be a lot faster!
Reality: ok, with the new color correction, upscaling, and higher efficiency codecs I can use with the new hardware, it'll only take 2hrs to render the first 3 minutes of footage... that's not bad!
A dog bowl, decorated with cartoonish dog skull and crossbones, and hearts. It is filled with french fries.
There's nothing "weird" about using a dog bowl, you're just jealous mine has rubber ring on the bottom to stop it from scooting around when I shove my face in it, unlike those dumb "people" bowls that slide all over
