Hi Gang!

We have a question for our fans. Would anyone be interested in a silent era style Messygirl video? We could transform one of our current videos to silent style or even make one with the girls dressed in 1920's style outfits, etc. Let us know.

I love old silent movies, so yes!

Yes, very keen, especially a scene with the models in 1920s outfits etc.

I think it would only detract. But I might buy the unsilent version.

1920s outfits would be really cool!

Honestly the silent era is not really my thing.

Nah. 1920s outfits are just boring and cover up too much.

I have no interest in current media having the color or audio removed.

I would appreciate a scene where a girl (who knows how to act) is being forced to comply with the silent era directions and into a slapstick video. clothes will get ruined and removed...

I would only suggest doing it to a currently produced video. I don't have much interest since the girl(s) reaction is a big part and making it silent, I think, takes a lot away. Just my opinion.

My two cents, I think your videos are fantastic the way they are.

Cheers!

I think it would be interesting but for my particular style of wam videos sounds, specifically the ones the MessyGirls themselves make are essential. Black and white would be cool though especially if the video involved fluff or clay

The sound in the video really doesn't usually do much for me, so I would be O.K with a silent video. I focus more on what the women are wearing, and how they're going about getting messy. For example, I love watching women having condiments poured inside their clothes.

I just SO DESPERATELY want ONE video of yours where the women KEEP THEIR BRAS ON: just stay in bra and panties THROUGHOUT. Instead of going straight to topless after the first pie. No fancy expensive costumes or dresses.

Well, we went ahead and transformed "Don't Order the Special 2" into a silent era style film to see what kind of feedback we get. Since this one had so much built in slapstick already, it actually translates very well as a silent film. Check it out at MessygirlVideos.com.

Not for me. The vividness of the pie filling or slime colouring is so important to a messy scene. Using anything but simple white pies in a silent b&w scene just defeats the purpose.

I think the silent movie idea is great! Rick did a wonderful take on it with a Keytstone cops, three girl caper theme; "A Day At The Bakery". Complete with sped up film, hot girls in sexy fancy dress, lots of huge creamy pies, exaggerated acting with face pulling, Benny Hill style chasing, even a classic soda syphon. It could have done with some clothes ripping/falling off and pantsing or panties being pulled down, and maybe a mud fight, but hey, it CAN work. Also the jangly piano could be accompanied by sound effects so it wouldn't be truly silent...

Ah yup, the second I saw this thread I went "Hmmmm....."

LOTS of work went into SS30, AKA "A Day At The Bakery." It's not just adding a sepia filter and muting the audio. You have to do title cards, sped-up film, and match the music cues to the action. But I was pleased with the overall result at the time.
Hard to believe this was 16 years ago!!!

(And FYI, the "colorized" version.... AKA the same clip, but without the sepia filter.... Outsold the regular version by 4-to-1, I believe. Because even vintage slapstick fans still appreciate a full RGB color palette.)

Deana hamming it up never gets old!

The video would feature both the silent b/w version and color sound version.

Thanks! We just like to think outside the box and thought this would be fun to do as a tribute to the good old silent splastick days. We could do a slapstick though the decade series starting from the 20's and continuing to the 30's 40's 50's etc. I know the girls would love being in various attire from all those past decades.

In and out, I hope.

Oh yes, clothed to nude.

Love the fashion decades idea. And pretty girls getting dressed up and pied!

I'd love the idea of a WAM scene done in 1920s fashions, however I'd want two versions:

1. The actual B&W one, with title cards, etc.
2. The full colour version, as if someone had time-travelled back to the 20s with a modern 4k camcorder and filmed a slapstick scene being made. Imagine if you could actually watch and film in full colour ultra-HD as they shot "Battle Of The Century" for example, or one of the Harold Lloyd scenes where women got a total drenching - that would be amazing.

But, for me to buy it, I'd want fully and completely clothed with no nudity - as soon as the clothes come off I lose all interest in a scene, though I have occasionally bought clothed-to-nude ones if it's clear the entire outfit and model gets totally and completely drenched in mess *before* anything is removed, and there's a decent length of clothed runtime.

Many years ago I commissioned a local seamstress to make a couple of 1890s style bathing suits for us, which we used in a few scenes and still have in the wardrobe, really should use them again.

I also remember an episode of "Spitting Image" that ended with a sketch, "Country Diary Of An Edwardian Lady Mud Wrestler", with the lady and a friend, both fully dressed in Edwardian-style dresses, mud-wrestling as the credits rolled. Would love to see the raw footage of that scene, I remember it having quite an effect on teenage me in the 80s!

I'd buy this series in a heartbeat!!!! I strongly suggest a three stooges pie fight. From their episode, "In The Sweet Pie and Pie" I always wished the 3 brides pied each other in that fight. Get three formally dressed ladies to the stooge routine. Don't strip them too soon. Get the formal dresses all messy first.

1920s period dress to nude? How about a what the butler saw scene , role play, erotic stripping, then the pies!
Having the sepia/BW version, and a separate colour version included is a great idea.

There could be like a medieval HGD where the peasants get revenge on the lady of the manor with gross vegetables and slop.

As long as you release the video in both B&W and Color, then really there is really no problem whatsoever with making a 1920s Silent Era comedy. I also love the idea of going through the decades; starting with the 1920s and going up to the 60s/70s!
