The model in this scene is an attractive dark haired woman somewhere in her mid to late 20s, and is clearly completely comfortable with deep sinking. She wears sunglasses, nice high-waist blue denim shorts, with about a 2-3" leg (hemmed, not cut-off jeans), and a blue denim sleeveless shirt, beneath which she has a bikini top. She is barefoot. Her shirt starts off buttoned up but she opens it to reveal the bikini top as she sinks.
The scene is shot hand-held throughout, and has the model, the photographer and the videographer talking to each other, plus background music. The photographer mentions a squeaky tripod, but unfortunately the video is entirely hand held, and sometimes very shakey. The scene is very well lit by constant bright sunshine.
The scene starts with the camera following the model into the bog, and then standing in a small clearing where she's going to sink. She rapidly finds the soft spot and starts to descend. The scene is well framed although some tall grasses intrude from time to time, and we get a nice shot of the model's bare legs sliding down quite quickly into the mud. She stops sinking just as the legs of her shorts are about to reach the muck, and sinks much more slowly from here on.
Unfortunately from this reviewer's perspective the section where her shorts sink in is quite disjointed, the videographer changes position very shakily, although there are a couple of nice shots if you pause the video. There's a reasonably good extreme close up of the shorts, now sunk about half-way, shot from almost directly above and in front. This is also where the model rips her shirt open.
At this point the model is provided with a bottle of what looks like beer, which she drinks from occasionally for the rest of the scene, which adds a nice "hey, I do this for fun!" element.
The scene then jumps to having the mud up to her waistband (shorts fully sunk). She now starts to work at sinking deeper, slowly sliding further into the mud.
For a minute or so the videographer puts the camera down (with a fair bit of dancing about) just above the surface of the bog, which gives a steady picture, but he doesn't remove any of the vegetation which is partly blocking the view. The model notices and tries to move some of it but isn't really in a position to do much, being by now chest-deep in the bog. After a moment the camera is picked up again and hand-held down-looking footage resumes, with a clear field of view as the model's chest and bikini-top slowly sinks.
At this point she finds she can't easily sink any further, so the videographer has her climb out a little. This gets the front of her bikini-top nicely messy, and also gives some decent shots of the back of her now mud-drenched shorts, shot from above, quite steadily in places, as she struggles up out of the mud. Once her shorts are clear of the surface, he tells her to get back in, and so she sinks down again. The scene cuts to her being as deep as she was previously.
Ultimately the model sinks to about armpit depth. There's a longish section of the model, deep in the mud, chatting to the two photographers, however it's far too shaky / jerky to really enjoy, sadly. The conversation is fun though!
Eventually, she climbs out. There are some nice scenes as she struggles free of the mud, but again it's marred by very shakey / jerky camera work.
There is talk of a wash-off and she heads over to a water-covered area, however she takes her shirt and shorts off while standing up so we don't see them getting wet. She reveals bikini bottoms under the shorts when she takes them off. There is a couple of minutes of the model, in just the bikini, washing the mud off in the swamp water.
Overall, I was disappointed. I'd bought the download hoping to enjoy watching the model sink, with a specific interest in seeing her shorts going in, but the constant motion of the camera makes this impossible. The scene probably will work for people who like seeing bare legs sliding into mud, and for those who like seeing an attractive woman sunk to just above her breasts and happily staying in the mud, relaxed and chatting. It won't work if you want steady shots of a woman wearing her clean clothes down into the mud, as that section is too shakey/jerky to enjoy.
At only $5.49, not a disaster, but I'm unlikely to watch this scene again.
