Take my clothes off? Undignified! Oh, ok!

[Mana KnightParticipant 333]

Little amusing tale that happened to me today.
So, I am a film director, and today I was going over the costume options, with one of my actresses. Nobody else is in this room.

After I had gone over the combination options and such, she immediately takes her top off! So she is just standing there in her bra. She starts to go unzip her trousers (probably sounds like I am shooting a porno now..) and this is all before it even registers with me what is going on. As soon as I realise I apologise (not sure why..just…hmm) and say I will get out her way now.

“Oh, it’s fine. Don’t worry about it.” Regardless of this permission, I really think it best not to stay!

A few hours later, and the shoot is over, she mentions how fed up she is with doing auditions where she is asked to take her clothes off, mostly student films this happens, and shoots where she is barely clothed/ or the character should be naked when she can see no reason it is required!

Yet, she was perfectly happy giving me the preview with no prompting!

No spite meant to this post, she was perfectly polite and pleasant and an excellent actress, just a “hmm…ok..interesting” observation!

First she was trying for a casting couch promotion. Later she was trying to bump up her “good girl” cred. Don’t expect consistency. Except for their self interest; that’s very consistent.

She was trying to look virtuous when she complained about taking her clothes off for no reason to student directors.

It’s okay to take clothes off for a real director. This was her way of covering the fact that in some cases it is okay to take her clothes off.

When it is okay to take her clothes off is all based on how she feels. To cover yourself the next time she or any other female talent undresses in your presence I would leave or have two or three witnesses.

It is dangerous to trust women.

There are no good women only degrees of bad.

It’s possible she just assumed since she already had experience, or maybe she gets off on being a c~~~ tease and the guys she ends up doing what she did in front of you, press her to get naked or something.

I’ve done some work as a composer on some student films and yeah, they’re all about milking the sex. Especially if they can find an attractive actress willing to take her clothes off.

If I were shooting a nude scene I would want to see his or her body before the shoot. It’s like a doctor. There is nothing wrong with the naked human body.

It’s just that if you tell her she slipped her lines and she was naked in front of you there is the phone and she can make that one call.

Even decades later.

Lol at the Meme. Yes, lots of truths being spoken here. I think the biggest thing that made me go “huh?” was the inconsistency of the action/thoughts as some have said! She was obviously very comfortable to do so, or felt that I was no threat etc.

I agree that this is a dangerous territory to be in a room alone like that, just did not expect that to happen like that in a situation that did not require it!

I like that I can share stories like this here with you guys.
