Chemistry can work for you or against you. Since I've been nude in so many different types of films, I've gotten to experience it in many different ways. One of the hardest things to do, is work with someone you dislike. See, in most professions, if you don't like someone, it's pretty easy just to keep your contact with them to the bare minimum. But what if you had to have contact with them

Sorry I haven't been writing as often as (all of us) would like. What can I say? A girl has got to make a living. That being said, I'm pimping my new website www.moniqueparent.netIf you want to see numerous examples of Nudity On Film, you'll find 'em here.

While Monique Parent is taking some time to compose her next post, Mark Weiler contributes his thoughts on working in the softcore erotic genre....“Turning something beautiful into something dirty”I accepted work in this genre because I thought I was contributing to the well being of the World. I really did. “How to Love One Another 101.” On paper, the scripts read like romance novels or a

Monique's Notes:We all know that feeling when you have chemistry with someone. Eyes meet, they lock and you'd swear everyone can see the sparks fly between you.As I've stated before, I've been nude on film an astounding number of times. Sometimes alone. Sometimes in a "love scene". I thought I'd share some of my experiences with chemistry.Many years ago, I worked on a shoot for Playboy. Erotic

Let's just get naked....There’s a long held belief that the nude scenes should be shot first, because if an actor reneges, they can be fired and recast immediately.You know what? I absolutely agree.There are many unscrupulous actors who will lie to get the job and they deserve to be fired. Then there are a lot of actors who fully intend to do nudity, but then back out because of pressure from

Contributed by Mark WeilerI am often asked how it is possible for a man to do a nude love scene with a beautiful naked woman without getting aroused. First, it is very difficult to do a love scene WITH an erection. Primarily, where would one hide it? And apparently it needs to be hidden because Hollywood doesn’t yet seem evolved enough yet to embrace the striking visual imagery of the male

While I'm busy with various personal endeavors as well as working on a film, I would dearly love it if you'd send me your filmmaking questions regarding Nudity on Film. I have a number of articles that I'm working on, but since I've been doing this for so many years, I'm sure I'm forgetting some of the basics.I won't be answering questions directly, but I will be writing my articles based on the

Since the only people who are going to be wearing The Patch are female, anybody reading this should not be in possession of a penis. You know, like on their... um... person. All men stop reading now.Yeah. Right. Like that’s gonna happen.Okay. You can keep reading. But we are all going to pretend you are not here. And if you get confused because you don't understand female anatomy, too bad.Let’s

Oh sure. Everyone has heard of "The Patch" but nobody really knows what it is. Or how it's used. Or....why.Today, I am going to give you the basics on The Patch.There are lots of different reasons (some valid, some silly) for the patch, but it really comes down to this: The main purpose of the patch is to reassure your actors AND your crew that you are not making porn.The patch basically makes a

The Body Check* The Body Check* I hate, hate, hate the body check. But it is, I'm afraid, necessary. Too many actors (male and female) will SAY they have no problem with nudity but then balk on the day. Just as they will tell you they are experienced tennis players when they've really only had two lessons back in high school. They are so hungry for a job, they will say anything to get it. Chances

A couple of weeks ago, Allen at b-independent.com asked if I would consider writing a short piece instructing novice filmmakers on how to handle on-set nudity with actors. My first reaction was, "what the heck would I say?" I asked Allen for a list of questions to get me started and boy, did they! I decided that I have a lot to say on the subject--much more than a "short piece" would allow
