The people making spanko movies don't work to high profit margins so they need to get things right first time. Often scenes are shot in a single take. A few are quite good at giving girls a break on request and then checking the continuity to make it appear seamless in the end result (Northern Spanking for example.) However, many want to make a virtue of the viewer watching the subjects' bottoms turn from pale creamy colour, to a pink blush and then to crimson red (and in some cases, beyond). If, after shooting it, you notice something got in the way you can't wait for the girl's bottoms to return to original colour and start again. Consequently, quite a few scenes that would become outtakes in conventional movies get to stay in. Here are some examples...

1. Often, as here, the problem is using one fixed camera and one moving camera and in the excitement of it all, the moving camera moves into shot. If the shot you need at that point comes from the fixed camera, you just have to include it and hope nobody notices (or cares).

4. This time the second camera has just managed to keep out of shot, but not out of line of the bright studio lighting, casting a shadow on the wall alongside him.

5. Similar to the last one; you have to think that sitting in front of the head getting a telling off and knowing you're probably going to get paddled very soon is bad enough without having a large camera lens moving in on your bottom as well.

6. If I'd just seen this as a still, I'd assume it was one of those "behind the scenes" shots that studios sometimes put out. But no, the guy who appears to be rather distractedly checking his still camera was in the final film.

9. I don't know if the sudden and unexpected reaction of the model to her pain was a factor, but someone appears very keen to get up close and personal with the microphone here.

2. Same again with this one.

| 3. This second camera seems totally carried away - not only has he allowed his camera to wander in to the main shot, it looks as if he's about to join in. |
7. Back to the same film as in (1) above. You can make excuses where the second cameraman is on the wander, but really you do need to make sure your lighting rig isn't visible for your main static camera...
8. Because everyone just happens to keep a tripod and microphone in their living room...
10. Someone just didn't quite get out of shot in time.
11. Sometimes what seemed like a good hiding place is just not quite good enough. Unless that's a naughty schoolboy who's sneaked into the girl's gym to see what he can see and who's got more than he bargained for. Couldn't really blame him because it's a great little scene and well worth the risk of getting caught!
12. Rather unusually in this scene, it doesn't appear that the 'extra' is just getting carried away with what he's seeing and forgetting to keep off-camera. In fact, he doesn't seem too aware of what's happening at all...
13. And finally someone who really is engrossed. As a result he's as clear as any of the actors taking part and just as identifiable. Hope he hadn't ticked the box requesting anonymity...
Very frustratingly, I have seen what I have think was one of the greatest ever spanko bloopers, but can't find it now. I'm pretty sure the model was the lovely Catherine Corbet and it was probably from Spanking Online or another one of the Xerotics labels. She was bent over being punished on her lovely bottom when a mouse ran across the floor. Where did that clip go?
