I don't know if "Automatic Visitor" is any good or not, but I'm about to find out. One of their other freeze videos came highly recommended.

I've edited this post five times already, to be sure that I am adequately describing exactly how good "Automatic Visitor" was. It is quite simply the best video I have ever paid for and downloaded over the Internet. Spectacular, and with something for almost everyone. Download it NOW! It is NOT pornographic, and in my opinion that enhances it still further. In fact everything that is usually a handicap in these kinds of productions has been turned into a virtue.

It's perfect.

Thank you for these wonderful comments. They mean a lot to me. I've elaborated in the introduction thread for those interested.

I think this has been one on the best vids done from our fetish...and very tastfully done....I love the actress she was dead on.... How about a prequel to this story like how she came to be til she got to his door.... The only problem I had it was too short but a lot of content in a short vid...Keep up the good work

Dear Mr. Dakota,

I would have eventually written you to say this, as you recommended on your website under "Custom," but having read your intro here, I might as well do it now. "Automatic Visitor," in my opinion, was so bang-on, so original, so brilliantly performed, and so far superior to any other video of its type that I have ever seen, that I actually do not feel the need to make any recommendations whatsoever. It is, in fact, exactly what I have been looking for, for years, and I am sad to say that out of hundreds of dollers spent elsewhere, no other production has even come close to approaching what you and your actors accomplished.

To put it lightly, it makes me sorry that I'm not into chloroform!

But in all seriousness, should you ever do another robot film, you will find at least one devoted fan. Since what you came up with was so much more perfect than I could ever have expected, I encourage you to continue on exactly as you have been doing, and follow your own vision. I eagerly anticipate the day it brings you around to another "Automatic Visitor."

Sincerely,

K.K.

I'm glad to see you made it, I think its is fair to say we all eagerly await your next robot-themed video.

I bought this vid on the recommendations here and there are some nice Stepford-esque moments where the actress loops her words. Obviously the production values aren't top-notch, but I don't generally buy short clips, so I probably have unrealistic expectations.
There are a few moments where the actress (who is pretty stunning) blinks when frozen or shut down. For me, that would be a 'cut!' moment and could have been re-shot.
The sound effects were a really nice touch, although I thought they could have been executed slightly better - Nickel, if you want a hand making sound effects (or distorting/altering voices) I'm happy to help out. I've been recording and mixing things for many a year.
I don't mean to be overly critical - I thought the clip was fun, but the few things I've pointed out kind of broke the 'reality' of it for me.
But keep up the good robo-work!

For you to take the time to write such a thoughtful introduction is testament enough that you are sincere about your art. Aside from the great reviews you have received from this community thus far, I would say a good gage of how well Automatic Visitor is appreciated would be your sales and/or comments prior to its discovery at this forum. I'm always curious what others outside this community feel about our fetish.

Regardless, my curiosity has been peeked and I'm certainly wanting to see this film now! It looks (and sounds) like it has most of the things I'm looking for so whatever you are doing, apparently you are doing it right! Of course Robotman is correct in saying that no one film will please everyone here. It's too bad that production costs usually won't allow for effects. As you have mentioned ASFR has many facets and, of course, sub-facets. I too like when there is something not quite right about the female that shows she is a machine... quirks, ticks, movement, repetitions and "loops" for example. She doesn't have to be devoid of emotion necessarily, but when showing emotion will come off as "phony" such as with the Stepford Wives. For my own tastes I sometimes like the beautiful ruthless "assassin droids" that can also be used to seduce. They are obviously not human because of their strength, stamina, resilience, lack of emotion or expression, etc. But I also like that they can be fought, restrained, overcome, and reprogrammed. This can be done in many creative ways.

For your research, though, we have conducted many polls over the years regarding preferences (among other things). Also many topics and issues are addressed in our "Discussion" section so these may be a couple of good places to start. I wish you luck with your future productions and I hope you enjoy our community and decide to stay!

WOW!!!!

I'm not sure what to say- i'm sooo appreciative of the feedback- it makes me a better actress, but the overwhelming love for Automatic Visitor is just awesome!!!!

I do a lot of videos with Mr Dakota and we have a lot of fun making them, and we'll continue to make great movies, and listen to your suggestions and feedback! If you have any ideas, be sure to let him know!

My name is Carly- it comes up here and there in the other movies. I'm in the NYC area, and you can see more of what i do at CarlyErin.com

Weird. Another actual nice girl in a place like this. Anyway, here's something I thought you might be interested in from another thread. It's a very small modeling job:
http://www.fembotcentral.com/viewtopic.php?t=6934

It sounds like you've got the fembot acting down very well which is rare given the other vids I've seen. As you can see as well, it doesn't have to be porn for it to be appreciated here. MOST of the greatest fembot material for us is not pornographic. When that happens it usually just turns into any other porn or the actresses are really bad at it as well. What we seek is more psychological, I suppose. Anyway, I almost forgot to say "Welcome to Fembot Central!"

Not to belittle your other work, but that photography is really good. I'm partial to rock band photography (in the "this is what my eye sees" vein) and I particularly liked the effects-pedal shot. I suspect I might shoot in much worse lighting conditions but the overall effect is appealing.

And I liked the pink abstract artwork piece as well. I skipped your written work altogether because I can never get my head around it. But -- to quote a friend -- shitgoddamn. That's some impressive work.

CarlyBot · Post by **CarlyBot** » Mon Jun 30, 2008 4:40 am

aw shucks! I guess that's why Mr Dakota and I make good movies: Lots of creativity going around!!!

Has anyone else seen the movie? Don't be shy!

I'm sorry that I'm so late in speaking up; such good work deserves a timely response. First off, Carly is spectacular! I think that she really gets the motions and the responses of the robotic archetype. At the opening, where she's running through the programmed remote actions, I really got the feeling that these were pieces that had been programmed into her. Most small production actresses seem to trip up on the little things, like the repetition of the voice or the placement of the arms, and Carly gets it spot-on all the way through.

As far as my personal tastes, I would like to see a bit more give and take between the actors. The guy seemed to be there mainly to press buttons and not talk, which led Carly to have not so much to react to. A lot of the fun is seeing the human exteriors break down during interaction and exposing the robotic nature of the unit; perhaps Carly-bot could find herself at a party in Brooklyn, or at a fancy dinner party? The possibilities are endless, and I think the actress is good enough to pull them off with decent support. Also, Carly is absolutely gorgeous, but I'd love to see her with no markings whatsoever. There's something about a newly-shipped robot with no tattoos, birthmarks, scars whatsoever that really appeals to me. A bit of skin-colored makeup and every imperfection disappears on screen.

But these are all just nitpicks. What you've created cuts right to the heart of the fetish, and is a great first attempt. Can't wait to see what you're going to cook up next!

I totally see what you mean about the tattoos! Something i would have never thought of! I'll get some dermablend.....

Otherwise thanks for the compliments. It's flattering to have you all enjoy it so much. I can't wait to do another one!

Their was once a video called upgrade, (the best movie yet by my oppinion) in which a woman discovered that her roommate was a robot. The two talked about what she was and how she had been a normal human being before choosing to become robotic. She explained how she could do computations quickly and how she could make her own decissions, it was sweet. Her roomy decides that she would like to go through the conversion as well, the only downside to this fantasic work was the length.
I would love to see a movie in which the female role chooses to become a robot, (lots of potential reasons why) tired of emotions, revenge, please her girlfried/boyfriend, desire to look youthfull forever, wants to rule the world whatever. I would buy that movie lickety split I tell ya what. Also, silver body suits are sexy and are about as far from nudity as you can get.
If you would like a script just let me know, I will happily put one together.
Thanks I will take my coments off the air.

I can't tell you how much I love hearing praise for Upgrade, and the Offer stories that inspired it ... on behalf of Android675 and Robolvr, thanks so much!
