THE SEXIEST® - The Judging Panel & Process



I have been asked to organise the judging of this year’s THE SEXIEST® adult machinima competition and am very happy to do so.
Needless to say, none of my own films will be entered into the competition.
This blog-post describes the judging process itself and gives a little information about the Judging Panel.
The Judging Panel
The judging panel comprises thirteen experienced SL residents – myself and twelve others.
There are five females and eight males on the panel. Invites were sent to four other females - two who politely declined and two who did not respond.
The Panel is made up of an array of digital artists, web designers, film makers, content creators, club owners, photographers and fans/users of adult content.
Each judge is experienced within their own field as well as being experienced and knowledgeable about Second Life in general.
I have personally picked and invited each of the other twelve judges. At no time has anyone “suggested” the names of potential judges to me, nor would I have taken any notice if anyone had. The choice of judges has been mine and mine alone.
As Chair of the Judging Panel, under the normal course of events I do not vote.
Having formed the judging panel, my role now is simply to correlate the other judges’ votes and determine the eventual winners. The only circumstances where I might be required to cast a vote are described below.
Furthermore, only I know who has is on the Judging Panel – no one else. Even the judges themselves do not know who else is on the Panel!
The judges’ names will be publically announced the day before the Award Ceremony.
The judges & I are committed to providing a fair contest where each film has an equal hearing and chance of winning.
The Judging Process
The judging process is divided into two rounds.
·                    In Round 1, we determine the five “nominees” from all entrants in each film category. These nominees go forward to Round 2.
·                    In Round 2, we determine which of the five nominated films wins the category.
-         Round 1
THE SEXIEST® contest is divided into twelve categories: “Best Film”, “Best Director”, “Best Oral” and so on.
In Round 1, each of the judges assesses the “Best Film” plus four other categories.
Each category has *at least* four (but usually more) judges assigned to it and “Best Film” obviously has twelve.
Each judge watches all the films that have been entered into the categories they have been assigned and reports the five that they wish to go through to Round 2, in order #1 to #5.
I will then determine the five nominees per category as follows:
A 1st placed film is awarded 6 points, a 2nd placed 4 points, a 3rd 3 points, 4th 2 and 5th placed 1 point.
All the marks from all the judges assessing that particular category are added up and the highest scoring five films go through to Round 2. These five films become the categories’  “nominees”.
If there is a tie for the 5th placed film in any given category then I have a casting vote to decide which of the drawn films goes through to Round 2.
-         Round 2
In Round 2, we introduce a marking/scorecard system.
Each judge is assigned the “Best Film” category plus four other. The four categories they are given will be different to the four they were assigned in Round 1.
Again, each category has *at least* four (but usually more) judges assigned to it. “Best Film” has all twelve judges scoring it.
The judges watch the five nominated films in the categories they have been assigned and score each film in the following areas:
·                    Technique – scores the films on factors which include camera control, lag control, pose ball editing, hair and clothes clipping etc.
·                    Composition – scores the films on factors which include how the film looks overall, how the shot is framed, colour management, Windlight, set and scenery design etc.
·                    Post-Production – scores the films on factors which include editing, transitions, titles and introductions, sound management and synchronisation etc.
·                    Category – scores the film based on the appropriateness of the category under which it is entered. For example, “My Lesbian Gangbang” is unlikely to score well here if you entered it into the “Best Male” category!
·                    THE SEXIEST® - simply scores the film on its overall sexiness.
The judges report back the order in which they rank each film #1 to #5 in these areas for each category.
I will then calculate the results as follows:
6 points will be awarded to a judges’ top ranked film in a specific area, 4 points for the 2nd ranked, 3 for the 3rd ranked and 1 point for the 4th ranked. No consideration is given for their last placed film in a given area.
As such, each judge awards a total of 14 points per area (6 + 4 + 3 + 1), a total of 70 points per category (14 x 5). A judge can award a maximum of 30 points to a single film per category (Five 1st place rankings, 6 x 5).
The total number of points each of the nominated films has been awarded by all the judges assigned to that category is converted into a percentage score.
The film with the highest percentage is pronounced the winner of the category.In the unlikely event that there is a tie for 1st place, I will cast a deciding vote.
In actuality, the process is not as complex as it sounds when put into written words. A handy spreadsheet does all the hard work!
This is a “winner takes all” contest. There is no runner up places, nor will the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th placed nominees be announced or made public.
The judges are putting a lot of their own time in to this without any personal reward. Their integrity is unquestioned. I wish to thank them all sincerely.
It remains only to say, good luck to all and may the Best Pornstar win!

PRON RELEASED AT SL PORN TUBE!!!

 A BLOG POST FEATURING UNSEEN PICS!


EmeeLee Directs and appears in the movie's famous bar scene.
Thanks to the amazing SL Porn Tube and it's owner Jasmine Skyward. "Pron The Encounter" is now uploaded in higher quality than ever before. This is something i wanted to do any way, but moved it forward so it's eligible for THE SEXIEST® AWARDS.


Directed by EmeeLee Rage and myself, starring Arwen Juneberry, myself, and a huge cast of supporting actors and actresses. Pron is a movie i get asked about a lot, and it's great to have it looking so sharp and crystal clear at SL Porn Tube. You really can see details and things never seen before on previous on line copies.

Louise Silverweb guest stars on her own movie set!
I'd love to see more collaborations like Pron on our movie scene. If you can get the right script it can make the transition between two separate directors possible. As with Pron, the styles and techniques of myself and Emee fitted wonderfully to the portions of the movie we each filmed.

Arwen Juneberry stars, and is snapped by Jinx on the shoot!

I know Emee enjoyed shooting in the sets created by the Erotique Team, and myself and Arwen were very happy and excited to be cast and filmed by Emee in the main sex scene. All round from set creations, to two camera persons and directors, to the great cast, Pron was a real team effort.

Some Unseen Pron stuff ( collected by me, from my section, and test shots. ) To Go With The Re Released HQ Version.

This was an experimental scene, to bring a Light Cycle into the movie. It was a very cool scene, but the light cycle was not our work, and although we'd have given full credit to it's creator, after consulting with Emee, we dropped the scene.
Another variation on the Light Cycle deleted scene. This time i used motion tracking to add myself into a fast moving clip. This is why i'm a little blurred. Again it was a cool scene, but left out for the same reasons as above.
This scene was left out by me, simply because it was not needed, and there was already a very similar one in the cut of the movie. I always like to have too many scenes. it makes the end product higher quality if you're spoiled for choice. I love this one though, and like how the TV looked so good playing our Pandora's Box movie. ( Nooo i don't watch myself at home in SL...It was added later, in post production special effects. :P  )
An early test pic to experiment with looks for the movie. Lots of these were taken to give EmeeLee ( co directing ) a feel of how things were looking during set building.
A 3D version of the main sex scene is still something we want to do one day, and this pic tested out the looks for that project.
Another 3D pic!
The calm before the storm! Me on the bar set for the movie, where EmeeLee filmed what is in my opinion the best group sex scene in SL Porn. Built by Louse Silverweb and myself.

SANTA'S HO HO HOMECOMING - HOLIDAY PORN!!!

SANTA'S HO HO HOMECOMING.


With Santa away, Christmas Eve is a long, cold, LONELY night for Mrs. Claus, and one of the toys from the workshop begins to look very inviting.


And when Elf Fee stops by to see if Mrs. Claus needs anything, and realizes exactly what the boss's wife needs. Things start to quickly warm up!




First off, i have to say i was really giggling when i was editing this, and even more so when i watch it properly for the first time. It's a fun movie, and i hope it gets well into the Christmas Pornstar's spirit.


Erotique Porn, myself ( Serenity ), Arwen, and Louise were producers on this one, not actresses. ( but if you stay sitting down right until the end you'll see a cameo appearance from us all on the end credits! ) . It stars Marla Carnell as Mrs Claus, Marla played the Vampire's victim in our Halloween movie "Once Shy, Twice Bitten", she again supplied the script and concept for this really fun festive porn movie.


When i first read the script, i thought, OMG!? An elf, and Mrs Claus, Santa in a threesome!? This is going to be wild. But i was relieved to see the Elf was played by Fee Quintessa and the North Pole does have some very sexy Elf's. Donicus Vollmar "Doni" too was a really fun guy and a great Santa. It says a lot about a man to change shape have a big belly, and generally look very un pornstar like on screen. What a good sport! There was a lot of fringe benefits though once he took the plunge!


I had some flash backs to Pandora's Box, as we filmed Santa's Sleigh flying home in a huge green screen studio. With some stunning video of the Northern Lights i found online as a backdrop. I very much enjoyed doing that whole sequence, and we got to film at Sere & Arwen's Ranch House for the exterior shots. in all, the brief non porn sequence i think give the film something extra.


I tried to make the movie look a little magical and i hope it's christmassy ( if that's a word? Blogger spell checker says no. :P ) If my camera and post production does not totally manage it, then the sound track certainly does. It really makes it a fun atmosphere with the christmas tunes.


As usual, the production was a real team effort. Louise Silverweb built the wonderful set, and it all worked so well for every shot. Arwen and Louise pave the way for every production that way. Inputting on the project throughout too. I can't imagine filming without them.


I'd like to thank the cast, Marla, Fee, and Doni for such a great job which produced such a fun end result. Especially Marla for her wonderful concept. It was a pleasure for us to bring it to life. I hope you all enjoy watching. :)

The Notorious Puddlegum Family


The Puddlegum family comprise Albanian brothers Solok and Nasty, their cousin Bobo and - allegedly -  Solok's son, Spunky.
Solok and Nasty Puddlegum

Bobo Puddlegum
Spunky Puddlegum
Solok, however, in his broken English, denies that Spunky is his son because, as he puts it, "da skinny tosser's bullocks are too small".

For his part, Spunky is very proud of his Puddlegum heritage; he loves his "dad" dearly and admires Nasty above anyone else on the planet.

Spunky is fond of saying, "Nasty is so tough, he wears Blakeys in his Airwair".

Bobo Puddlegum
Bobo Puddlegum, Nasty and Solok's cousin, is an elderly midget (not a dwarf!). He took early retirement from his former service as a circus performer (variously employed as an acrobat, human cannon ball, clown, elephant tamer and pickpocket) when his excruciating hernia became so painful that he would scream like a wounded animal every time he landed badly on the trapeze safety net.
Parents, children and understandably enough, his beloved elephants, found this extremely disturbing.  

Nasty Puddlegum
Through wily cunning, shrewdness, stealth and the judicious use of a pick axe handle, Nasty is universally recognised as is the Head of the family.
On occasion, he has been known to ride rough-shod over the other family members.

Nasty rides Bobo
However, they all continue to support, admire, respect and, above all else, fear him.

Nasty
Before returning to Europe to form 'Fuckpig Enterprises' using hard-earned Columbian venture capital, Nasty spent 3 years working alongside Che Guevara as his bodyguard, gym instructor and personal guru.

Nasty Puddlegum circa 1962
However, deep in his heart, for as long as anyone could remember, Nasty yearned to be recognised as a top-class award-winning pornographer.
Finally, 'Fuckpig Enterprises' would provide him the opportunity to realise that dream.
Nasty Puddlegum - Vice President of Fuckpig Films
Under Nasty's stewardship, 'Fuckpig' released a number of innovative and diverse porn films including 'Pregnant Facial Parties Vol 1 to 6', 'Spunk Guzzling Twins', 'Midget Fisters' (staring Bobo Puddlegum), 'Old Farts Vs. Teenage Ass's' and many others.
'Fuckpig' won the coveted 'Golden Labia' award on no less than four occasions. The ground breaking 'Shemales A-Go-Go' is a classic and still considered one of the most influential films of the genre.

Nasty Puddlegum's business card
Arguably, Nasty's crowning achievement as VP of 'Fuckpig Films' was discovering the emerging talent Pixie Rain.
Using his many years experience in internet grooming, Nasty partnered with Lar Jun to launch her career in pornography, convincing the naive girl that "your parents will be proud of you!" and "porn is *not* a waste of a University education!"
Nasty and Lar instigated a joint-venture to sponsor Rain's work and have been living immorally off the proceeds ever since.
'PsychoKiller' starring Nasty Puddlegum & Ziggy Bookmite
Nasty went on to star in one of Rain's machinima, 'PsychoKiller' (2010), alongside Ziggy Bookmite. This machinima is Second Life's first ever snuff movie.
The film was later used by the prosecution at Nasty's trial and proved instrumental in his subsequent conviction and incarceration in the prison wing of a high-security psychiatric hospital deep in the beautiful Berkshire countryside.




Upon his release in November 2011, Nasty immediately went into production with an invention that had occupied his mind throughout the long dark, dank days of his imprisonment - the portable glory hole.

Solok trials the Portable Gloryhole
Long term, however, Nasty hopes that to find investors willing to put capital into his cum-filled syringe insemination programme.
He claims that governments all over the world are showing interest in this programme because it is quick and easy way to improve the quality of a countries' gene pool.
Nasty fiercely rejects accusations of promoting eugenics and quotes the noted 19th Century Albanian nihilistic philosopher Alpert Nietzsche in support: "If I kill you, it makes me stronger."
The Cum-Fill Syringe Insemination Programme
Solok Puddlegum is the oldest and, it is widely and justifiably believed, the most perverted member of the family. He is also the quietest, largely due to his poor understanding of the English language.

He has become adept, however, in making his intentions known using only his eyes, fingers, tongue and an obscene rotating of his hips.
Solok dishwashing at Old Lar's Place
Solok is adamant that he is not Spunky's father despite Spunky's frequent protests to the contrary.
When challenged, Solok has always refused to co-operate in a DNA test.

Solok terrorising old ladies at the retirement home 
"Fuck off," he once explained to the investigating Child Support Agency officer as she tried to re-claim forty years of back payments.
He finally slammed the door in her face when she refused to tell him the colour of her knickers.

Solok relaxed and happy
When not at home masturbating over Nasty or Pixie's pornography, Solok will most often be found masturbating over the bar dancers.

Solok with his last two known lovers
From a very early age, it was clear to everyone that Bobo Puddlegum was destined for little things.
Diagnosed as a midget before his mother had even been trolleyed out of the delivery room, his father sold him to the Albanian State Circus before he was fully weaned.
Only by the Grace of God and the protection of his cousins Solok and Nasty did he make it into teenage.
Bobo Puddlegum cira 1973
Being a teenager is never easy and even more so if you are born a midget.
But young Bobo was a fighter and had one big asset that gave him an advantage over his peers; it ensured he was never without female company...

Bobo's Assets
...Bobo loved to dance!

DJ Bobo before the BPI confiscated his decks and LPs
Dancing is but one of Bobo's many talents. He lists his other interests as baking, knitting, embroidery, sailing, spanking and anal fingering.


Embroidery 
Many of these skills he learnt by necessity from living with Nasty and bed bathing Solok. Other of the skills he was taught when he attended Walthamstow Reform School for Boys in East London.


Bobo baking
Lar Jun, friend of the Puddlegums for four generations man and boy, was the first to offer the young Bobo gainful employment.
Spotting Bobo's obvious culinary talents, Lar had him preparing food in the scullery. 

Bobo prepares food
The exact reasons why Bobo was dismissed has been lost to history but oldbie's at Lar's Place still talk in hushed tones about being served a "The Full Breakfast Surprise".


Breakfast is Served
Bobo has a tendency to dress inappropriately at social events. Nobody really understands why.
For example, when invited to meet Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth Version 2 on the lawns of Buckingham Palace to celebrate 50 years of The Women's Institute, Bobo dressed as a Jester.

Anal Fingering
Salty Seaman
Gadfly
Bobo, always the womaniser, has never been found wanting for female companionship.
However, when he was selected as Playmate of the Month for the popular 'Midget Lovers' magazine, things would never be the same for him again.
Playmate of the Month
Invited to all the best parties, girls offering him their underwear, free lap dances, sex a simple smile away...life was good for Bobo Puddlegum.


Free lap dances
Free ass
But in essence, Bobo is a simple man with simple needs.

Lar and Bobo
Coming from humble beginnings and despite all the trappings and riches that life has presented to him, he is never happier than when in the company of his best buddy, Lar...and his trusty handheld fleshlight.


Custom size fleshlight
Spunky is the most emotionally sensitive of the Puddlegums, likely due to suffering from chronic irritable bowel syndrome.


Spunky Puddlegum defecating
Whereas for many, having a spastic colon would lead to a life of disability and welfare cheques, Spunky has done his utmost to build himself a respectable career.

Queefer's Assistant Manager
Spunky is proud to recently have been promoted to Assistant Manager of his local Queefer's mini mart. He has been presented with the keys to the padlocks on the window security grills and has responsibility of opening the shutters each day and re-locking them at close of business.

Spunky Puddlegum: Sensitive and Proud
He takes his responsibility so seriously and is so diligent that his Regional Manager was moved to report that "Spunky Puddlegum has become an indispensable Yes Man."

Spunky contemplating his career
After his 14-hour shift at the mini mart, Spunky enjoys nothing more than Karaoke at the nearby Wheel Tappers and Shunters Club.
His rendition of Carla Lane's 'Your So Vain' is near legendary but it is his Elvis Presley impression that brings the crowds to their knees...and tears to their eyes.


Elvis Puddlegum
Although his "father" Solok has been married four times in all, Spunky has never been married - a fact that hurts Spunky deeply and on a daily basis.

Spunky practices safe, hygienic sex
His Lonely Hearts personal ad appears every Thursday in the Scunthorpe and Hull Gazette. Sadly, Spunky has yet to receive a single reply:

"Male 60's. Slim, glasses, high sperm count, WLTM 18 - 25 F w/ appetite for mutual masturbation & ballroom dancing. Cooking skills a bonus. Will wash cock for intercourse.
Box #548"

Spunky Puddlegum WLTM 18 - 25 F
Like his father before him, Spunky is partial to masturbating over images of Pixie Rain. He met a sticky end, however, when CCTV cameras filmed him breaking into Rain's production studio and depositing semen all over her computer monitor.
CCTV image used in court as evidence
Spunky pleaded guilty to all charges and was sentenced to 100 hours community service. He felt this would be a great opportunity to improve his social life.
Solok, however, was less than impressed and was overheard saying to Nasty, "Da skinny tosser got off with a puffs sentence. He no son of mine!"
Nasty nodded sagely.


Skinny Tosser
Who am I, you ask? How do I know so much of the Puddlegum story? Why am I so interested?


I am the product of the Nasty's first ever cum-filled syringe insemination programme, twenty years ago - a generic experiment that went catastrophically wrong.
The sperm of the four Puddlegums accidently got mixed together in the same test tube. The contents of that test tube were injected into a female volunteer.


Nine months after that terrible incident, I was born. 


Genetic tests have found traces of Solok, Nasty, Bobo and Spunky in my DNA.
I am the Daughter of all four Puddlegums and all four Puddlegums are my Father.


My name is Pixie Puddlegum.
