Hello! Ideas, Requests, Suggestions....

Inflation videos, until recently, have been outside my financial reach,
though their existence itself was heartening. I have been slowly accumulating
videos, favouring those with helium or floating mentioned in their precie or preview.
Here's my thoughts on those purchased so far. If anyone has reviews of other
material that might be of interest to those with a lighter than air focus, please share.

Her Helium Inflation Fantasy:
This was the one that forced me to reach for my wallet. It sounded perfect. An attractive, curvy woman talking me through her desire to inflate full of helium, to float, to make love while inflated. The final flourish with her sucking on the cylinder valve was superfluous, but welcome.

Lifting Spirits:
This is, as far as I know, the first lighter than air dedicated inflation video,
and has been on my list of things to investigate since I first became aware of
it. The inflation looks fantastic, and Brandy plays to the buoyancy nicely. A
sound interpretation of the fantasy.


Holiday Office Party Inflation Prey:
I never considered balloon transformation part of my interests until recently.
The way my tastes have expanded beyond balloon and helium breast mediated
buoyancy sometimes surprises me, and gives me a little hit of fear, as I ponder
where they might head in the future. This being a tangential taste, I was
impressed at how effective this video was for me. The acting is great, and the
floating scenario works for me more than in other purchases because the plot takes things outdoors. Hooray for untethered flight.



Holly's Big Suit Inflation Tease:
Holly's performance in the party video saw this become my first suit inflation
purchase. Another tangetial interest, but what the hell. There's a woman inflating
like a balloon. That's awesome. Floating only gets a cursory mention, but
that's okay, as the inflation is beautiful, the reactions very sexy, and there
are some cute, quirky moments with the balloons Holly plays with while she
inflates. Some of the poses are straight out of HellResident's imagination.



Balloon Wonderland:
This features some creative balloon play by a very attractive model, but failed
to deliver on its potential regarding floating. While there was much talk about floating to the
ceiling, no pretense at beginning to physically float was made. I tried running
through this one as an audio track, but Phoenix is neither excited or reluctant
about her situation, and I think this is what killed it for me. A person
gagging to float, or scared of losing control to their buoyancy are both very
sexy to me. Indifference, which is how Phoenix's feigned enthusiasm comes
across, is dull.



Girls Are For Testing:
Another situation where everything is set up for perfection, but the reaction
was off. Jordan's breasts inflate and sit proud and perky on her chest as
though they really are full of helium, but she repeats the same lines in the
same manner, doing little to enhance the effect her inflation had on me. Plenty
of talk about floating, and not wanting to float, but none of it really taking
me or Jordan anywhere.


Caroline Inflates You:
This just didn't work for me. I was keen to try the POV format (the party
sequence with Holly is unusual, in that the balloon you are supposed to have
become, and the camera, are treated as independant), and that's pretty cool, but
the scenario wasn't for me. Floating is mentioned so fleetingly as to be barely
there, and popping is more the focus.  I kick myself that I didn't go with the first Holly Balloon Transformation instead, which I was thinking of.  In future, if unsure which way to go between a video featuring Holly and any other material, I think I will plump for the Holly one, as she really sells her scenarios, for my money. 

Several of the videos work well as audio tracks, as the practical difficulties
of lofting an adult human are substantial and the human imagination can do this far more easily than any studio catering to a small market. Audio would be the perfect format
for this fantasy because the imagination could fill in the blanks, but
with Cindy Irresistable retired, and requests to other audio providers receiving no reply, I think
it's going to be a matter of waiting for vocal synthesizers to get good enough
at tone an inflection to pull convincing performances out of some of our
stories.

There are a few cheats I have yet to see used to work around the practical difficulties of filming floating scenarios, and considering the imaginative mechanisms already used to give the illusion
of growth even without prosthetics, I am surprised they haven't been employed to date.
For me, the magic moment is the transition from negative to positive
buoyancy, and the key place where anyone would notice this is their feet. It
would not be hard to get some close up shots of first one, then both feet
leaving the ground, toes grasping for purchase as the altitude increases.
Another mostly neglected aspect of the fantasy is the threat of being taken
outdoors in such a vulnerable state. Again, simple tricks could do wonders,
with a camera mounted above an antagonist for a POV float; tethers pulling taut;
string fraying under tension. It wouldn't take much to go beyond the product
already available, and blow the minds of the heliumaniacs.

Perhaps I sound ungrateful, and I'm not. I pay my money gladly and get a lot of fun out of most of the content I purchase. I couldn't have imagined that such content would ever exist even
just ten years ago, so it's amazing that it's available at all, but we're still some way from perfection for the fans of lighter than air scenarios.
