Question Thread for Danielle

[Anoree]

Umm, Ron, the video link above tries to get me to download ("update") some unknown video player - no, no.

To answer your questions, yes, I try to balance my gifts between useful privately, useful for shooting and simply pleasuring Danielle. I get a lot of joy out of seeing Danielle's reactions.

I chose the GoPro simply because Danielle had it on her Amazon Wishlist. I should have known better and dig a bit into the product before purchasing it, because Danielle had a slightly outdated version on that wishlist. A couple of add-ons that I bought would have been built in in a newer and actually cheaper product. I think those apps you mentioned only work with GoPro 2 and newer, not the original one.

Of course Danielle can rely on me for ANY help I can give, whether it be over Skype, phone (I'd gladly pay the call) or any other media. Unfortunately she hasn't picked up on my repeated offers yet, but I don't want to get on her nerves with it. I'm sure she knows I'd be glad to help 24/7.

Some of the shots you mentioned would require a lot of preparation work and special equipment that isn't really wide spread. The internal shots of the orgasm would require a VERY small camera (or an endoscope), lighting and I think some air trapped in the "vajayjay" to clear the view area, for example.

One other point for future shoots that came to my mind is 3D shooting. (I admit it came to my mind again after my recent purchase of a 3D TV. ) Wouldn't it be cool to see our gorgeous host in three dimensions, even if it were "only" in a couple of candid scenes?

Did I mention that I love the candid videos and photos?

There are safe ways to access even "invasive" Internet content. As an IT pro, I expect you know this, but I will go on for the benefit of more naive readers.

For at least a decade, I have told naive people that digital devices like PCs are now so cheap, it is not unreasonable for average people to own redundant hardware, even whole system units.

Since the primary injection vector for malware has become the Internet, one should keep one's most secure unit unconnected to it. That gets rid of issues like security updates (which can break mission-critical apps!), zero-day exploits and configuration errors. It does not protect one from clandestinely malicious or defective software you install manually from physical distribution media, which might one day erase your data or maybe just encrypt it and solicit payment for the decryption code. You protect yourself from this and issues like lightning, fires, and theft by doing regular data back-ups.

If you want to do secure online transactions, use another machine with a minimal amount of (security-flaw-patched) apps, and no storage of IRRELEVANT sensitive data. To a certain degree, you can use read-only mass storage to make your installed software more resiliant to attacks, although obviously once the code sits in process RAM it is potentially subject to corruption.

Finally, for simply viewing (and possibly downloading) the very most "dangerous" Internet content, use another machine with no storage of ANY sensitive data. Who cares if a Trojan Horse like a keystroke logger or stored data exporter gets implanted? To obviate long-term use of your machine as a zombie for stuff like the storage or relaying of illicit data, you just re-image your hard disk now and then - even every boot, if you like. (e.g. You can boot from a Linux "Live CD/DVD.") You need a disk image to guard against a hard disk crash and the like anyway.

To save money, you might share a system unit for multiple types of use outlined above and simply switch hard disks and the completion of a wired network connection with mechanically activated electrical switches. By the way, I use machines that require me to flip a mechanical switch to make the BIOS rewritable; yup, there is malware that tries to rewrite the BIOS.

Well, sooner or later we upgrade nearly everything anyway. And one advantage of buying old stuff (e.g. used automobiles) is that we can benefit from the experience of others in dealing with unpatchable problems unknown when the stuff was new.

Actually, I think fiber optic technology, which today gives us multi-gigbit trans-oceanic communication lines, got started as coherent bundles,for doing just the type of medical imaging you mention. As for film-making erotica, personally, I would "cheat" and license stock footage if I could! And remember that in the teen film classic Fast Times at Ridgemont High, when naive Jennifer Jason Leigh asked "worldly" Phoebe Cates how much semen was ejaculated upon human orgasm, the latter said "about a quart," LOL! I'd say its about time we used modern FX to inject a gallon of semen into a cooch and watch the excess shoot out of the recipient's ears! Hmmm... I wonder if that's this "aural" sex I keep hearing about....

A nice suggestion. In the long run, I expect that more Web cam shows will also offer 3D. Sadly for manufacturers, the hopes raised by the success of the film Avatar did not result in the massive 3D display sales for which they had hoped.

When I was a young man, stereoscopic imaging was a minor research interest of mine. The human visual system (HVS) uses MULTIPLE methods to extract a 3D estimation of what it sees, and this can lead to physical distress during lengthy use if an artificial system does not make ALL methods produce very similar results. A true "holographic" (or bulky "volumetric") system does this, because it replicates the electromagnetc fields properly. With your flat-panel display, vergence and accomodation will tell your brain all points lie on the surface of the panel, while the binocular image disparity which the programming delivers will tell it something else.

You can already take two or more frames from Dani's EXISTING video works to create short-interval clips which you repeatedly run backwards and forwards, which can manifest "wiggle" stereoscopy even a person with only one eye can enjoy. This is important because everyone knows masturbation makes you go blind by making your eyes fall out, albeit only one at a time. (See discussions of one-quart ejacualtions fo more details, LOL!) The Wikipedia article at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wiggle_stereoscopy now includes several wiggle stereoscopy examples.

Hey Dani,

From among the animated GIFs collected here, what was your First Time most like?

[danielle_ftv]

Gah! I have 9 video logs I need to do this week (that will catch me up to the end of the month). Plus I need to do a (long overdue) video journal.

[costamar]

Good the hear from you again in this, your own Forum, girl.

[RonTheLogician]

Hey Dani,

Some months back I had asked whether you would be okay with Love Bug or Isis going into porn films when they come of age. You didn't really answer, but then again, I didn't cite a specific film for consideration.

So now I've come across a wonderful two-minute short which could be the basis of a remake in which you star and Isis gets an easy cameo role. My question: Could Isis start out doing something like this?

You being a big-booty rear-entry fangirl, the short is appropriately enough titled Roadside A$$-Sistance. And hell, with his love of fast cars, maybe Rob could even lend you some wheels for the shoot!

Hey Dani,
Since you are investing in gear, don't neglect to invest in learning how to use it well! I just ran across a wonderful book which does a great job of covering digital videography basics today, titled The Digital Filmmaking Handbook: The definitive guide to digital filmmaking (2014). One can buy a copy for the Kindle for a bargain price of barely ten bucks here. It seems to be just the sort of thing you'd want to read at this stage in your directing/producing career.

Given these industry business customs, and also that you regularly produce a cinematically very similar video log series, I'll bring one more book to your attention. A Kindle e-book version of The Essential Digital Interview Handbook: Lights, Camera, Interview: Tips for Skype, Google Hangout, GoToMeeting, and More (2013) can also be obtained for a measly ten buck here.

Hey Dani,

In one of your video logs some time ago, you characterized yourself as a "sex addict." Please do disabuse me if I misunderstand, but the perjorative connotation of "addict" says to me that you regard your avid consumption of sexual activity as doing you greater harm than good, for all the latter that it does (e.g. emotionally and financially) nonetheless.

Perhaps you have seen the first two installments of avant-garde director Lars van Trier's trilogy Nymphomaniac, as I have. As I recall, the film's protagonist, played by Charlotte Gainsbourg, first toys with the idea her sex addiction is pathological, only to do an about face and embrace it as who she wants to be. Do you have an opinon of the film and any messages within it?

By now I hope you know I don't think porn is intrinsically harmful, either to producers or consumers. But anything might be undertaken in a way that lands up doing collateral harm. Are you in a position to entertain the idea of taking a "sabbatical" away from porn? You've been in the sexual arts about six years straight by now, right?

In our competitive world, successful people often worry if taking an extended leave from work, even for a worthy alternative activity, will fatally compromise their future prospects. But it can be very hard to take a reflective look at one's life when the daily grind is at hand.

Many years ago, it was very unusual for porn players to stay in the business for much more than a year. And even today, careers tend to be rather short, even much shorter than those of sports athletes. I can only wonder whether it is push or pull factors, or both, which account for this - I surely don't know. In any event, you might want to watch the 2010 documentary After Porn Ends, trailer here.

Porn has put a lot of money into your hands, which most people of your age without an expensive and demanding education would never see. I hope you have held on to enough of it that you can do yourself the kindness of the leading the life you really want - and enjoy the practical ability to indulge in any needed non-trivial introspection process.

Best always,
RtL

Hi Danielle

As you currently have 22 slots of Video Logs to fill in, here are some new and some old (asked anew) questions.
For the sake of filling up slots, I suggest to answer them in individual Video Logs for each theme, maybe in between drawn questions videos, IF you want to answer.

- How was your Groove Cruise trip? Would you like to elaborate on that? How much dancing were you able to commence? Did you meet many new, cool people? Were you able to wear some of the prepared theme dresses? I'm sure you were the hit everywhere you went.

(Possible answer: "No, I don't want to elaborate. That's confidential information. Next one!" )

- You mentioned that you will pick up on studying at the ASU. What will you study? What's your planned schedule? What will be the impact on your work and your private life?

- 22 open Video Logs - that's a lot of room for drawn questions. They are fun to watch, but I'm sure they start to get boring shooting them real quick. What do you think of dropping half of them, shooting just 2 Video Logs a month? You can always shoot more when you do actually have questions or topics of your own you want to talk about, of course.
What I'm trying to say is that they shouldn't come to be a burden or even an annoyance to you. I like them and you too much to see that happen.

- Would you like to talk about current and future plans for your site? Do you want to implement new options?

- You have your own new Web shop now, www.DaniellesGear.com. Would you like to talk about that? (That's an opportunity to roll the advertising drum. )

- Do you have plans to tour the States or even the world, alone or with your friends, where fans might be able to meet you? Any plans to visit Industry conventions?


Unfortunately that are all the questions I can come up with at the moment, that don't seem too private.

Are you trying to help fill Danielle's slots? Does that make you a fluff boy?

More seriously, I'll remind her it is not impossible that Barbie and Ken might still be willing to do the segment work I last mentioned here.

Perhaps she might like to try shooting short, low-production-value updates, such as "gonzo"-style cellphone videos which concentrate mainly on her surroundings and what she is doing (while she narrates) and then ends with a closeup face shot and goodbye kiss. I sure hope I didn't hurt her feelings in offering constructive criticism of her sit-down cinematography.

To be frank, I had guessed that Danielle had rethought her whole marketing strategy and was simply letting the video log project - and most of this website - fade into stasis, without a big goodbye. (It was possible that the server log inquiry I had suggested had shown that there was too little bang for the buck.)

I wouldn't mind to be Danielle's fluff boy at all.

It may seem so, but I happen to know that Danielle is just quite busy with some other projects at the moment. She still has plans to develop her site. What she plans on is not my part to reveal.

Nope...I just took a break for a while.

1. I will answer that in a video log (16 more to make!)
2. Another great one to answer on a video log.
3. It isn't a bother to shoot the video logs...plus they are filler content. I need to start shoot a month's worth of vlogs at the beginning of the month.
4. Will answer that awesome question on a video log.
5. Didn't read this post until today....and already shot a video log about the store the other day
6. And I definitely shall answer this in a video log as well.

Hi Danielle

Thank you for answering my previous questions. Here's another one:

In the pictures and videos that you post in your SnapGirlz / MeWe group you frequently wear a little pouch around your neck. May I ask what's in there? Some medicine for your Cherokee side?
