Behind the Scenes at Bluestone Studios - News and Views!

[xj900uk]

Well you know where I stand, Mr B. I've said it before and I'll say it again - Melanie Dunne is unquestionably the most gorgeous, glamorous and talented actress you've had in any of your Superheroine series of videos. It's a crying shame you've had to let her go as her performances and acting skills have always been exemplorary. I do wish there was some way you could have kept her around or making a future appearance, but I understand exactly what you mean about her movies being so popular they get pirated, sold around or put up without your permission (or receiving a penny!), and also the stalking thing was just plain wrong, so I can understand her upset and why she would want to finish her contract with your team.

BTW she was bloody fantastic in Doomsayer!

Don't forget, the Extreme Version is where the heroines die! In the Peril version they lose, they may be defeated and captured, but they always survive. In the Extreme version, they always die. Please make sure you get the right version.

It is also extremely clear of the high esteem most fans of the Superheroine series hold Melanie in. Therefore, why don't we start a separate thread on this Sub-Forum to pay tribute to Melanie? Where fans of hers can go and say something nice about her - nothing creepy or suggestive, just to complement or thank her for being SuperNova for us. Then, hopefully Blue and Mr B can forward the best ones on to her by way of saying thanks, and to show that in her time with us she did generate a good following of genuine appreciation and gratitude?

Is the esteem extremely clear xj? It would seem as though the majority of vocal members on this site viewed her as just another actress to put into Blue's character rotation while they awaited the release of another Supernova Prime video. As for your suggestion about compiling well wishes, I'm reminded of something Director B said in this thread:

"The Actresses really don't like us filming them behind the scenes, the same for some of the crew because of the stigma these kinds of films have in society. They do it for the money this is the bottom line even though what we shoot is very tame compared to other superheroine productions out there. When you see some outtakes or some behind the scenes shots they are from cameras A and B that just happen to be running at that time. We do not go out of our way to shoot behind the scenes stuff, too many mad fans stalk the actresses on social media once they know their real identity hence why some leave. When you see pics of the crew know that it's not everyone, the crew members that you see don't mind being associated with this material. I hope this answers your question."

I can't speak for Melanie, but I'm under the impression that a lot of the actresses that Bluestone uses in his productions are actually models who are cautiously receptive to acting roles in fetish videos; as such, they may have a 'complicated' relationship with their fans. Whether you're here because of a superheroine fetish or a death fetish, there's still a level of sexual deviancy and taboo associated with our fandom which is also why the vast majority of traffic through this site chooses to lurk in virtual anonymity. With that understanding in mind, your well wishes may be coming from the right place internally while originating from the wrong place altogether.

Hi everyone, how did this turn into this? xj900uk, you say fans of Melanie, that maybe so but the only one I can see that has voiced his disappointment on her departure is Badger, I understand his upset, but he's not as upset as Blue and myself, we knew the value of Melanie from the getgo. I am still amazed how there were no comments about her when Supernova Doomsayer, (her swan song), was released, same with when Danica left, both of them was so popular because their videos sold extremely well. Anyone other than Badger has anything to say about this situation?

^^That boggled my mind to no end. The most perplexing thing about this whole scenario is what I view to be an INEXPLICABLE amount of discussion about Melody. In order to prove to myself that I wasn't crazy, I had four of my friends pick between Melanie and Melody and the results were unanimous. I'm not sure if it's a regional thing (well-adjusted North American men in their 20's), but we all found Melanie to be far more attractive given her more feminine physique and features. Rest assured Director B, that the confusion can be attributed to the disproportionate amount of vocal fans.

I don't doubt it, Badger, rest assured we'll do our best to find a good replacement for Melanie.

Blue et al,

I don't know the background to this entire story beyond what I've seen in this thread, and I haven't had the chance to read it as carefully as I would like. However, I do notice that there seem to be two points being conflated: 1) there is a surging black market in pirated Bluestone videos; 2) some of the people watching Bluestone videos have been harassing Bluestone actresses online.

We vent a lot about piracy and about trying to stamp it out, as well as tracking down and blacklisting anyone found guilty of the activity. I don't know if the same amount of energy is spent on trying to track down individuals harassing actresses, but I know that it should be.

I would hope that anyone who can be traced back to this community who has been harassing any actresses is banned forever and shunned. That is inexcusable behaviour for which there should be no tolerance. I don't know if we know who those people are, but they should be shunned, ostracized, and shamed by this community for their behaviour. We have limited means of punishing bad behaviour in this community, but we should maximize those we do in these most egregious cases.

Its the "Mary Ann or Ginger" kind of thing.I'm showing my age a bit on that reference :) In the end,good luck to her :)

Melanie was amazing and the fact the we have lost her should be a wake up call to all of us who participate in this genre. We were fortunate to have her for a brief period of time and I would like to say thank you for being a part of our community. To those cyber stalkers out there and people who cannot differentiate fantasy from reality. Get over it. These are paid professionals doing a job. No they don't want to date you or marry you or be with you. They want to entertain you. How many times have I read "Oh hey who is that what is her real name? I have a right to know I want to follow her on this or that." If she wants to be known she will post. Lets not get stupid here. Lets address the issues that make this community less appealing to the wonderful women who grace us with their talents. Show some class. This will not be popular and I get expect to get burned. Please understand that what I am saying is meant with respect for all.

[xj900uk]

No, I agree totally with you. Melanie is a glamorous, fantasy figure as Supernova. That's what we come here for, and buy the movies. I do feel sorry for those who can not distinguish between fantasy and reality, and yes, that is a fairly thin line for some, but we should always keep our praise and our objectivity for the character she brings to life in the movies, whilst at the same time applauding her genuine talent. But that's as far as it should go.

For one thing, liking Melody doesn't indicate a dislike of Melanie. I liked them both, but personally I like content with Melody more for a variety of reasons
1. She's brunette, and personally I've always preferred brunettes slightly more than blondes and there are A LOT of blonde ladies in these superheroine videos, so Melody is made even more appealing being one of the few brunettes.

2. There have been a lot of Supernova videos be they with Danica or Melanie, there have been less with Melody. Thus Melody is rarer and focusing praise on her was done so Bluestone and Director B knows there's a demand for her from fans, less he claim the same thing about Melody he claims now about Melanie.

3. Taste. Me personally... Melody>Melanie. I still love Melanie and would buy stuff she's in, but Melody has the traits and qualities I find more attractive personally. And given how many other fans she has, I'd wager the same there.

4. Until this was revealed there was NO indication or hint Melanie was leaving and this was her last vid. When the vid was coming out and hints about her being killed off were dropped Bluestone compared her dying to Superman dying, something that obviously wouldn't last, now clearly that now meant she'd return with a new actress, but at the time I just assumed Melanie herself would eventually return. So no, I didn't watch this video as her swan song and final performance as I was not told it was until weeks after the fact. I focused all my praise on Melody as I assumed Melanie was 100% safe and going to be the main girl in the videos so praising her(when she had so many fans) seemed redundant when I could focus on Melody and try and show Bluestone and Director B she has fans and is well liked and is in demand for more videos.

There have been A LOT of Supernova videos... and so far, 3 Supernova Prime videos. It's like a comic book, I know the Superman series is safe, but the Supergirl series isn't guaranteed so you have to be sure to buy and read and praise it so the publishers know to keep making them. That was how I treated the situation here.

[LTerry]

I'm prepared for the hostility I'm likely to receive from having said this, but I think that comparing two beautiful and talented women to one another, one of whom left the community because she felt unsafe, and cataloguing why we like one of them over the other based on their appearance to be indescribably vulgar, juvenile, and absurd.

I've no wish to sound preachy, but honestly, if I were a women who needed to provide some evidence that men in conversation amongst themselves are complete and utter crap, this thread would be it.

Except that's just how it is. Even in mainstream movies and tv shows it's no different. People have different tastes, visual appeal is a very large part of it. That doesn't mean it's the only part.

Claire by far in my opinion was the best actress in bluestone videos. Melanie and Melody were both great as well and I'd have a hard time rating who did better acting as both played different types of characters, but the personality in Supernova Prime I preferred more so I probably favor her more.

I mean I get what you are saying... I just don't get what that would leave us with then. Not trying to start an argument as I get your point... I just see a limited way to apply it here that allows for any discussion.

[Director B]

We appreciate all the voices on this subject we value all the actresses we are working with and the ones we have worked with. These videos are hard to cast and we were very lucky with Melanie but we all have to face it, these videos are not accepted by society which makes it really hard for actresses like Melanie to stay especially when you have a few people, (and that's all it takes), mentioning them via their real name on Twitter/Facebook/Instagram - the whole point of them having another name is so this work doesn't mix with their other work because of the stigma society holds on the videos we make.

Anyway, let's all move on.

Hate to be a pain, but BLue & Director B had said before that this would probably be Melanie's last outing as Supernova. Not because of the stalking, but because of the piracy and illegal copying and distribution of her movies had, literally, made her so uneconomic to employ.

Yep, piracy killed the video star - but it was the stalking that put the nail in the coffin for Melanie as we were willing to keep going with her.
