Yes, it happens to us all. At one point or another, things just seem blow up in your face, sometimes literally. What are some of your greatest wam bloopers or epic fails? They could be during filming, setup, or cleanup.
One scene in particular for me was a disaster from start to finish. I had one of the bags of batter leak powder all over the rest of my groceries. When I got home, while I was mixing the batch with my drill, (yes i use a corded drill with no speed control, with a mixer attachment) the mix had too much water on top, and boom, splattered chocolate batter across me and my kitchen. While filming, I forgot to put a plastic sheet down from my bedroom to the bathroom. By the time I noticed it was too late. During filming, halfway through the scene, the plastic sheet I propped up to protect my room slowly fell down and stuck to me. Trying to try thin sheet plastic off thick chocolate batter is tough, it sticks to your hands too lol. Finally finished the scene, only to smudge chocolate all over my camera because I never covered that either. Then proceeded to leave chocolate footprints from my bedroom to the bathroom. Just when I thought the chaos was over, when moving the leftover chocolate I scooped into a bucket, the flimsy plastic handle broke, shattering the bucket in my hallway, covering my bedroom door in dark batter, and watching it run down the hallway in utter disbelief. An hour later, I finished cleaning and realized I was out of garbage bags to put the plastic, towels and wet wipes used to clean it. Ended up putting everything back in my bathtub because I was physically and mentally drained.
That was by far the most chaotic attempt at a scene I have ever done. It was my video "Chocolatanic" from a while back. I almost didn't even end up publishing it because of how much it stressed me out. I did have fun, and looking back taught me many good lessons about thorough preparation.
1. One of the first recordings of self Sploshing in bath, tripod - check, iPhone recording, check - camera not on selfie mode! - filmed great vid of bathroom wall
2. 10 kg of baked beans in bucket as gunge tank mechanism (see my photos to see the rather unsafe setup!) release them and turns out they just clog small hole and nothing comes out!
3. Very first Skype session with a female wammer - video fails to record!
Posted this story in some other thread but I'll tell it here too. First time I ever get messy on live for a man. This guy sent me some hot stuff so I really wanna blow his mind. I've got something up my ass and I'm covering my butt in cream. I'm pieing myself extra hard and posing for the camera in a sultry way. I'm blowing a dildo and jerking myself off fully covered in shaving cream.
Whole time he can't see anything but my head and I had the video on silence. He couldn't even warn me. All that sexiness wasted
I wouldn't call this catastrophic, but one of our early sessions, we ran across brownie mix at Sam's Club? I think? Well it was a great sale so we got 3 or 4 bulk boxes of brownie batter. It turned out to be "chocolate chunk" brownies, which sound amazing, but isn't the best choice for sploshing when it comes with jagged chunks of chocolate mixed in. I SIFTED every bit of brownie mix, separating the chocolate chunks, which I stored in a big ass ziplok bag and occasionally nibbled on for the better part of a year.
Long ago, back in the days of stills-only scenes. Shot a full and detailed set of clean pics. We started the mess. Just as we got past the point of no return, memory card corrupted. Arrghhh!
i have had MANY but one in particular ccomes to mind-
in my earlier days of wamming-i had a customer who him and i decided to try to top the 'batter bath' that was a big hit. at that time... so? i got a BIG trash can...the big black ones? Where i could put my body in it and submerge. it took me and two girls, mixing with a hand mixer about 2 days to fill it. We filled it in the spot i was going to shoot with a little tarp underneath it with zero idea of how we were going to deal with it later...just doing it! so? i make the video-and omg it was amazing. the thrill, the mess, the fun, all of it was insane. we filled that can to the TOP. once i got in? we start seeing how much is coming out over the sides, especially when i submerged. once i was finished adn showered i looked at everything and was like "oh shit---where do i go from here?' hundreds of pounds of cake batter and a 0.7 ml tarp underneath it. we go grab the big trash bin the city picks up from outside and start attempting to wrap the tarp around the can and just push it in the trash can and i would clean it out later.... it was me and one guy. i look down and the weight, of course, has ripped the tarp and thank god we had just put down hard wood floors. cake batter busted out and just started moving like lava-then much faster than lava. we were struggling to get that heavy ass trash can into the other trash can so then? my neighbors see us struggling and come over to help!!!! They were like "what the hell??" i just said "dont ask...." and we then? had to borrow a few brooms and dustpans to get all the batter up! needless to say-after HOURS and HOURS of cleaning up? I havent done one since....but? Now that I know more about it? i want to really badly. It would still be a crazy clean up but? if we shot it in the right spot? we could do it! it was insane. that is just ONE story. i could write a book! haha

i have paid for a memory card corruption with tons of videos on it now....twice? at about 1900 a pop! and one video? was an EPIC encasement video...which is still watchable but every few seconds has a line that goes on the top of the screen.
the supplies were like 800 dollars. i was literally devastated.....i have still considered selling it as a really low priced video bc the sound is fine, you can see the mess....and it is an insane amount of messing...insane! but? that damn little line that pops up....ugh i wanted to and DID cry. like a baby.

Those sound so troublesome lol. Videos not recording at all is a big ouch, I've forgotten to press the play button a few times, and on a camera with no flipscreen to check to see if it's recording.

Lol I've done the opposite, a scene I recorded only caught my bottom half so all of my head dunks were totally off screen. For this reason I am looking to invest in a good wide angle camera.

Nothing more irritating than a painful or uncomfortable substance. I feel that. Mainly my issue is when my stuff gets too cold before my scene ends and I'm left shivering and begging for that long hot shower after lol.

Had a lightning storm here just a week ago. During my editing, while everything was plugged in to my PC, the power goes out. Not only did DaVinci not autosave any of my scene, the only copy of the video was corrupted because I cut it from the card instead of copy/pasting it, and forgot to make a backup. Tried everything to get it back but my 4gb file shrunk down to something like 50kb, and kept getting "media not found" red blocks on my video time-line. I feel your pain.

Hahaha oh my gosh I'm giggling at this so hard. Super relatable! Especially when ypur neighbors come over lol. I've gotten caught both in the act, and trying to dispose of my evidence before, I was mortified. Roommate just did a 180 and threw her hands up without saying a word... worse than actually chewing me out
And I'm super curious now about your recovered scene, glitched or not, I'm sure people still want to see it. I know what you mean though, it's a tough call putting out a video unless you are 100% satisfied with it. I Have a few image sets of scenes I just can't post because the filming was not up to my standards. I'm sure people would possibly still enjoy it but for me, I feel self conscious about it.

So, you literally played "the floor is lava"
My personal blunders were all when I was younger and it was a dirty secret and those that knew thought I was a horrible degenerate...which I am, but I digress. One one occasion, I was playing with oil in the tub had a bad fall and most likely a bad concussion.
I didn't didn't go to the ER or anything, because I had to find a way to clean up all the order and make the bathroom not smell like I was cooking before my wife got home. Hard enough to do normally, worse when you're slipping in and out of consciousness.
I was trying to fill a balloon with soda or unchilled jello liquid? and of course if you blow up a balloon the air wants to get out. Usually you fill a soda bottle with your liquid, put on the blown up balloon, and flip it to fill. Too bad the balloon slipped off and spilled everywhere. A lot of clean up in the kitchen where I was prepping all of this
I almost lost my laptop with all my files while filming a wam video. I was ready to get messy and my laptop was on a chair. Suddenly, it felt to the ground.
Thank God, nothing serious happened, just the Office programs stopped working.
Ours is a simple school child error. We usually carry out our mega-splosh sessions in the bath and then bucket the mess down the toilet, flushing regularly. On one occasion I forgot to put the plug in the bath before hand and the thick slop seeped down the plug hole and blocked the waste pipes. It took me days to unblock the waste pipes because I was too embarrassed to call a plumber. I didn't do that again.
Had one session that was a complete disaster. Only had two cameras at the time. Main camera footage (the good one) was corrupted somehow. And the pies just did not hit right, and coverage was terrible...
That was what I refer to as the cursed session...
Luckily in September of 2020 I was able to redo it, and it came out much better.

I do hope you eventually discovered a power drill with a paddle bit Jayce (if not I'd be happy to help)
The most catastrophic blunder: I envisioned using jello to make a sticky texture slime with corn syrup... Well I made all the jello but as it warmed up it lost consistency so I mixed with cold water... I still feel bad for what I put Zed through that shoot That day I learned there is a level of wam you just can't power through... A freezing cold jello slime brain freeze... Sometimes we learn these lessons the hard way =/
Otherwise it's been production blunders... Cats making noise... Not happy with how much in frame I was... Actually reshot a few of our shoots for those reasons

You should have got your wife to do it to complete her humiliation.

Feel like this is nightmare scenario for alot of us here... How did the story end?!?
Grabbed the nearest towels and wiped the worst of the mess off me.
LEGGED IT to the other bathroom - which had a bath and not a shower - hoping I didn't drip anything onto the carpets - and sat in the tub. Ran a bath and hid the tears as I cleaned myself off.
Back to the shower with some sponges and empty buckets to do my best - then a couple of hours later, rinsed it out with some water buckets.
Called a plumber in and prayed. They didn't say anything so hopefully I did OK...
1. Not necessarily a blooper as much as almost getting caught. My school had a contest called senior assassin where each day had something you could do to be "immune" from getting tagged out. One day the immunity was to dress like the opposite gender. It didn't occur to me to just ask a friend to borrow a pair of shorts or anything, so I walked into Target and bought the first dress I saw, which kind of just wound up being a maxi dress.
Said dress immediately ripped when I tried it on because it obviously was not made for me, but I tossed it in my closet instead of throwing it out. Flash forward, I'm bored and horny the day after senior prom as pictures are coming out and I decide to throw the dress on and take a hot shower in the basement with it on.
Later that day we're eating dinner and doing cleaning to get ready for family in town when my mom calls from the basement: "why is there a soaking wet dress hanging over the shower rod?"
2. Got back from a work trip in April of last year. The next evening my girlfriend throws on a maxi dress for a dinner date and says that I can mess her up however I want to in the shower afterwards. I learned three things in the shower that evening: A) Greek yogurt is not good for pouring on people, B)neither is milk, and C)there is nothing less spicy to me than being in a small apartment shower trying to gunge my girlfriend with random shit from our fridge.
Ha, okay, not really- but I legitimately thought I did, for a few seconds. I got messy with a guy I met here on umd in a hotel room, we had had a bit to drink and he passed out in an inflatable pool we had set up to catch all the mess. I got out, rinsed off and turned the ac on for some reason before I fell asleep in a chair almost as soon as I sat down. Well, when I woke up I saw my wam date there in the pool of mess, still absolutely covered, shivering violently- realized a moment later that when you're saturated in mess, I guess the ac saps your body temperature pretty quick. So I shouted his name and shook him to wake him up, but he didn't respond. He was still shivering violently. Tried again. Nothing. So friends, this is when I seriously thought for a moment, oh shit, did I kill him!?
Thankfully, he was okay- just cold and kind of delirious. But yeah, don't drink and wam. Never doing that again. This guy and I still laugh about it today at least!
At one time, I had a precarious camera setup (it was propped up on a few boxes) and I almost slipped trying to start the timer. The real catastrophe was that I was messy in the tub, decided to sit down, and somehow hit my shoulder on the soap dish and hit my back on the tub faucet. I wasn't actually hurt, but it's difficult to see if a cut in the middle of your back is healing properly (ha).
