Future Naughtiness For The Threesome
The Playmates have now turned their attention to future projects. During their most recent meeting, the week after they completed the production of Deep Cover Mole, the Red Feline Active Team got together to discuss the most urgent tasks. Mostly pre production work for at least three films, 69 Année Érotique and La Feme De Chambre with Jac at the helm and Aventura, to be directed by Erix. There will be a little bit of work as well for the future inquisition film, Maleficarum Excruciati, a preliminary look into possible locations and a prop maker. Jac wants to build some awesome props, one of them a chair, but not just any chair.
Dani is on her trip to the tropics to check for locations, while Jac is about town, long walks, looking for the materials to transform the until now dark and campy dungeon into the 17th century la philosophie dans le boudoir type of location for at least the next two or even three films. I say three because during the meeting Mila asked about another idea Jac has, a simpler film to make, Diabólicas.
Dani is sending pictures and videos of the possible locations for Aventura. Most of the movie takes place in a far away cabin in the woods. Here’s one of the pictures she sent.
These pre production activities are going to take the rest of this month and maybe part of the next. Jac is planning to start some rehearsals, casting calls, location scouting, and he’s also assembling the shots to edit CruXtreme V – The Playmates. He has 2 hrs and 40 min already organized out of more than 12 hrs of raw material, an indication that this film with Dani and Mila having a lot of painful fun will be the next big release. Those two hours plus represent around a third of the film or less.
Margot wrote: I mentioned before that there are a bunch of films in the post production timeline, four of those films are recent productions, the other four of are old films that either are not completed, like 7 Days on The Cross 5, or that Jac is doing something extra with them, like a film with all the torture footage from Martyr. On top of that, Jac might work on three or four videos dedicated to the Training of Camille. That’s a lot of post production work at hand.
I’m sure that Jac is the only person who can possibly do post-production, but it seems to me that if you all are interested in generating revenue from 12 films that are “in the can”–not to mention pleasing your audience–getting them out of the can and onto download or DVD would make sense. Sure, I get it that it’s a LOT more fun for Jac to play with the girls some more, and that’s fine. But post is not necessarily a task that MUST be done my the AUTEUR. Maybe if there was a rule in the company that Jac could not start any new film until he had completed post on 4 existing ones, he would be more motivated either to work on them or find someone else who could do it.

I’m sure it would be great if Jac hired an editor to bring our productions out faster; however, since Jac began RFPIX (Red Feline Pictures) in 1998 he has been very busy in all facets of production, writing scripts, directing, producing, acting, doing camera and sound work, editing, sound editing, creating sound effects and I can go on and on, and sometimes many of those tasks are done at the same time.
So far we have a total of 50 films in our catalogue, there are other films that Jac worked on that are not in our catalogue, like the NatGeo documentaries, plus other documentaries that we made, some experimental films as well for a total of 80 films. That’s more than 3 films per year! Not to mention all the work that came before, including the now historical TV miniseries The Man From The Moon.
The process of editing a movie is, in Jac’s view and experience, the most creative part of making a film. All the work that was done in the production of the movie is then in the hands of the editor to give it shape, the real shape of the story. It’s not simply the work of putting the shots together in the proper order, is more than that. A lot more than that. And in Jac’s case, if he was the director of photography as well as the director of a movie, he knows exactly what he did and why and so he prefers to do the editing.
It doesn’t mean that he’s not considering having someone else working with him on this. Mila, for instance, completed her studies on film editing sometime ago and she’s now fully capable of engaging in that work. She has a good computer and Jac will pass her a hard disk with materials for two films and he’ll see what happens.
A lot will be happening in the next few weeks. I’m anxiously waiting for their next meeting, in the middle of next week, to learn more about what will be happening.
