Highland Sting Pt 1 & 2
By Adam | August 21, 2008
Usually, I’m not overly critical of the technical shortcomings in spanking films, the reason being that I’m glad that there are a lot of amateur studios out there producing content. I understand that without a budget it can be challenging to produce a technically sound video. But, in the instance of this film, Highland Sting Pt 1 & 2, I can’t look past the shortcomings.
The video is the classic teacher/student spanking fantasy set in a classroom and featuring two models playing naughty schoolgirls. The action is pretty common; some OTK hand spanking on skirt and bare ass, which then progresses to bare ass caning. I’ll say that the best part of this video is the spankee’s ass. Both girls have nice, full rumps that look so satisfying, and definitely lend themselves well to spanking. One of the other things I liked, for some reason, is that one of the school girls starts to sweat during her session. Something about that lent itself to the authenticity of the moment.
That being said, this movie suffers from two technical flaws. The first flaw is the least obstructive to getting into the video. In terms of the lighting, or general camera operation, something that a lot of amateur studios seem to struggle with is getting the exposure right. Perhaps some of you like watching videos that are over-exposed, maybe it adds to the “heat” of the moment, but for me, it blands out all the colors, and makes it hard to get a nice sharp focus; which is problematic when you want to see the nuances of facial expression, or the varying shades of the flesh as it’s spanked.
The second, more agitating flaw that Highland Sting suffers from is the audio. This is a technical issue that I can’t accept. Audio, especially in spanking videos, is a key element, obscure it, and you’ve lost half of the satisfaction a good spanking video can provide. In this instance, I could barely tell what the plot was simply because I could barely hear what was being said. The setting is an obvious context clue, but I was at a loss for knowing why the schoolgirls were being spanked. This is problematic for me because it’s the “why” that also adds to the satisfaction of the videos. What’s the point of disciplining if there might as well have been no infractions since we can’t actually hear what they were? Furthermore, there was a lot of modulation to the room-tone. I know that sounds pretty obnoxious to say, but this kind of modulation can actually make the audio unpleasant to listen to, almost slightly disorienting.
So, you won’t really be able to hear the dialog, nor will you be fulfilled by the crispness of the hand contacting the flesh or from hearing the painfully sweat lash of the cane, but perhaps you can salvage something from simply watching the spanking itself. Personally, that’s not enough to garner Highland Sting Pt 1 & 2 more than two stars from me. See for yourself if this is anything more than an sub-par spanking video
