Live Action Zako (16 Viewers)

[darthchlorophorm]

Thanks! It was indeed a pretty entertaining sci fi B movie, and the effects were surprisingly good for its budget. The explosions and shooting/chase scenes were rather expertly done.
I hear sadly the series gets worse and worse later on, but I am curious to check out the sequels anyway.

The series did go "Down Hill" from there. It's a real shame, because Olivier Gruner's character, Alex, was so awesome & likeable.
Part 2 wasn't too bad to be honest. Check 'em out for yourself.

Crime House produces some wonderful videos.
I recently bought "Dangerous Spy Mission" , "Spaceship Indigo 2: Landing" & "Spaceship Indigo 2 : Gas".
The "Starship Indigo" series has a few different style of Zako uniforms, that were very nicely done.
I bought these videos because they have Uniform Stealing written into the stories.
I highly recommend these videos & Crime House.

Regarding The Suicide Squad.

Obvious plot spoilers below. So beware!

Spoiler

Pros
- Many female enemies in the regime forces.
- They appear in multiple ranks from low level grunts to officers barking orders
- We get a number of close up shots of their faces rather than just fleeting background shots.
- They are randomly occurring and not part of some special group. Just regular troops.
- No silly costumes but regular functional ,military gear and attire.
- A few are shown being directly offed by the heroes*. One even gets a flechette in the eye courtesy of Bloodsport.
- Some nice shots of indirect fatalities they suffer as a result of the goodies plans involving explosives.*

Cons
- * However the vast majority of direct kills by the heroes are against the male goons. I only counted one or two female regime mooks getting slotted like this.
- *The vast number of female mooks biting the dust occur indirectly, i.e when the explosives set by the goodies go off prematurely. Or when the star fish alien runs amok.
- All gratuitous villainous mook deaths are male. No female regime mooks get garroted, sliced etc.
- I don't think any get shown being bumped off by Harley Quinn when she tears through the presidential palace. This is hugely disappointing as there were female guards present in scenes just before. This would have been the ideal moment.
- Barring the above scene and the bit towards the end, the heroes actually rarely directly attack and eliminate regime forces generally. Never mind female ones. The only other direct examples of them bumping off enemy females are when they mistakenly comically kill off some of their supposed rebel allies. There are some nice shots here, but these are not villainous mooks.

That being said, overall 7/10 as far as female mooks is concerned. Although most of this score is purely due to their sheer presence. I haven't seen this level of female mooks in a military context in a big budget film ever I think...

Thanks for letting us know this.
Otherwise, how was the movie? I loved the first SS.

Haven't seen the other two* but heard bad things about them especially regarding the first. This one appears to be much better received all around. Seems like a DC equivalent of Guardians of the Galaxy in terms of humour etc. So as a cape film it is good fun. Could actually be the first enjoyable big budget DC film they have managed to make. Doesn't take itself seriously and just has fun, so it's not morose nonsense like the Snyder films.

Honestly I only really had a look due to our interest in female mooks.

*EDIT: Forgot the other was the Birds of Prey spin off.

Any clips to share from the new Suicide Squad?

Probably just screen caps as I'm no video editor.

As the film is out now the performers are able to release more behind the scenes details.

Cartels (Steven Seagal) Possibly one of the worst movies ever made (check out reviews of it) but one of the best Zako scenes I've ever seen in my life. The actres, Sharlene Royer is a stuntwoman who has an absolutely bangin body, and her cargo pants are very tight around her. She has a fantastic butt and you get a great angle of it at the end.

 

[uniformedwomenuniverse]

Actually being an ardent zako fan i had great expectations about the videos specially by the way you presented it. But in reality, i was very dejected when i saw the videos. It was nowhere close to whay we actually understand by "zako" videos.
I understand that this is your first initiative. Having watched a lot of action pact zako videos in the past i would suggest you to create something in the likes of the following:
1.Geheim code death force ( you will find the video in this forum itself as it has been posted multiple times).
2. Million eyes of Sumuru ( available on youtube)
3. Operation whiteshark
4. Cheppindi chestha ( an indian movie. I posted it in this forum before)
5. Rani mera naam ( an indian movie. I posted in this forum before).

There are much more of similar kind. I just named a few. Kindly do some research from your end.

Also you can re-create videos of well known James Bond movies that had evil henchmen with evil henchwomen such as Octopussy and so on.

Try to create more tight fitting uniforms for evil zakos...specially exposing the midriffs.

All the best!!!

OKI thanks for the suggestions. In the future I will try to dress in a uniform more revealing midriffs.
Such a uniform sewn to the needs of club members.
Greetings.

Darth Chlorophorm, here.
I enjoy your videos a lot.
The fact that they're "Low Budget" isn't an issue for me.
They're fun to watch. The uniforms are great & the actresses look wonderful wearing those uniforms.
I know the members of U.S.B. agree with me on this.
I thank you for sharing your work with us. Please, keep 'em coming.

Cool. thanks for the nice opinion.
Yes, I will come here more often.
Best Regards.

 

[uniformedwomenuniverse]

Don't worry, friend, I see that you try very hard and your films are very popular, the main thing is that you can make videos that you like, as well as that you can show these films to all other people. I also dreamed of making such short videos with my girlfriend, but she refused. You have your own actresses and your site, you are a happy person, I envy you. By the way, big big fetish firms do not always shoot good things, they can shoot monotonous and uninteresting videos, I bought videos from fetish firms many times and was disappointed after watching. I really love such large companies as "Neon Dark" and "Amazon Warriors", but these companies have a lot of monotonous and not very interesting videos.

I must admit that the popularity of my films is quite high. I'm a little surprised by this. The coolest thing is that someone is waiting for my next films and I can share my work.
Unfortunately I know what you mean when you write about monotonous movies. I recently purchased a movie and was unfortunately very disappointed. Out of a ten-minute movie, a maximum of three mnutes were fun.
For me, Neon Dark and Amazon Warriors are really cool. And their films are extraordinary.
All the best

Not everything needs to be a huge spectacle and have bodypiles. There are plenty of studios that make videos like that. I personally like videos that have 1-5 zako max and focus on them. I liked the last UWU video where the woman was laying face down in tight black jeans while the camera slowly zoomed out. A lot of the "big" studios don't have scenes like this. Can't argue with you about tight fitting uniforms and midriffs. never hurts, but at a certain point it can be a bit over the top, like the neon dark videos. Don't get me wrong they are great too, but sometimes I just want to see Zako wearing tight jeans instead of ridiculous costumes. Not many studios get this, UWU does.

Thank you very much.
.Just a variety. You can choose what you want at the moment.
I love uniforms. The tighter the better. But close to the original.

 

[uniformedwomenuniverse]

At the end of the day, it's all a matter of personal taste and preferences

Each movie has a style from its creator. But sometimes it can be a bit flexible.

 

[uniformedwomenuniverse]

hello my good friend, with little you can do a lot, the videos are good, they could improve with a little more, maybe use the camera angles well, not so distant when you have to eliminate a guard, you supply an actress well with clones , so you can use it as many times as you want, make approaches when you attack the guard, cover his mouth, break his neck, things like that, but more closely, a humble advice, continue with your videos friend, greetings

Hello my friend. Thanks for your advice.
I'm going to continue.

Greetings.

 

[uniformedwomenuniverse]

yeah but there are tons of studios and videos trying to do over the top setpieces and costumes. I like UWU videos because they are more down to earth. The actresses look like women I've dated, which is a huge plus for me. I've never worked up the courage to ask a girlfriend to RP a scenario like this, but some day I'd like to find someone who would be open minded enough.


Speaking of that, does your latest video have any face down shots? Didn't see any in the previews, but if it does might as well pick it up.

Hope I got it right. The guardian is face down after being eliminated. If so, there are three takes.
Two close up time 10:32 and 10:52 film.
And 4:59 minutes of the film is briefly seen from a distance.

 

[uniformedwomenuniverse]

Keep having fun! Fun is important

If you want tips ever you can hunt me down, discord is the easiest

Exactly that creativity will always be fun.
Besides, I think your movies are amazing.
So many beautiful actresses, so many effects. Just something wonderful.

Thanks for sharing your video work! I appreciate the effort involved in making such a production, especially with making it look the way you want. Here's some feedback that hopefully helps...

• The location you used looks great for a Zako theme video and could provide many great scenes inside and outside...love it!
• The new model is very beautiful! She looks great in that outfit too and seeing a range of her expressions is great especially to show emotion from being surprised to taking a hit.
• Your camera work looks great too when just focusing on the female actress. Good work following her as she moves and using a mixture of close up shots to full body ones. The variety is good and helps show the scene well plus reflecting what she is doing, etc.
• When you have the intruder (think this is you?) attack the girl, the camera position is still which makes sense if it just the two of you. Try making such scenes from multiple takes with different camera angles and merging together. This does take more work, but will provide more interesting scenes when showing action when you cannot easily move the camera during the scene itself.
• In order to get the feel this is Zako, it does help to make the scenes feel more like there are multiple Zako there, even if not in the same camera frame together. Some techniques to help give the illusion there are many females versus one are...
  • Changing the scene where it is clear you are someone else, but near the previous location, like seeing action take place at the start of a corridor and then moving to the other end and seeing another girl appear.
  • Another technique is changing the look of the actress slightly, even if representing a clone, some small change like a wig can also make it feel like she is another person.
  • There are some advanced production techniques you can use to help make it appear as if several Zako are in the same camera frame together, but use just one actress for this. This takes the most effort and time, but the reward is a wonderful scene with as many females as you want to show together using the same person.

A minor item and more of personal taste is I would prefer to see female versus female, such as a one female protagonist taking on all the Zako. This could be managed with having a second model to join your scene, but understand that can be a challenge in both finding someone and cost. The upside is this would give you another actress to help model scenes with Zako falling atop each other, so the one actress could play as both the protagonist as well as another Zako. :)

A practical guide for a young producer.
I am constantly working on expanding the cast.
Yes woman vs. a woman that's it.
I wrote down all the comments. Thanks for the great feedback.
Now I geat to work.
