Tit For Tat: A Love Our Lurkers Day Clip


I originally intended to post this one week ago, but my video editing program acted up. Working with these large files caused some bugs which I first had to overcome.

And that is the good news: Kaelah and I are pleased to release our first video in high definition. With a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, it is on par with what the most state-of-the-art spanking paysites offer. The file is 455 MB in size, which should not be a problem for the large number of people with fast internet connections these days. I also uploaded a smaller (292 MB) file with a resolution of 960 x 540 pixels for the unlucky ones among you still labouring with a slower connection and for those of you who would like to check out a low resolution "preview" before deciding if they want the large video.


What is the video about, you ask? I almost forgot: it's the F/M plus M/F caning clip voted on in last year's Love Our Lurkers Day. Kaelah and I volunteered to take two cane strokes for each delurker (i.e. first-time commenter) and one stroke for each regular commenter, and you could decide whether Kaelah or I should get "your" stroke(s). Instead of the one of us with the most votes getting all the strokes, we decided to split the video this time into an F/M part and an M/F part. The final tally was 19 strokes for me and 22 strokes for Kaelah, which was closer than we expected and goes to show that there are quite a few fans of F/M action among our readers as well.

In our previous clips, we always cut between different perspectives recorded on different cameras. But since the high definition camera has a different picture ratio than our older cameras, we could not do that this time (we would have had to put black stripes on the sides of the picture in some perspectives, which would have looked awkward). So we are showing you the canings in one continuous scene this time and inserted a smaller split screen showing closeups of the bottom and facial reactions into the upper left corner. It's an experiment of sorts and we are curious to see how many among you like it and how many do not. For Kaelah and me, it was certainly an interesting change of pace to record all the strokes in one take this time and not reposition cameras in between.

Here are the download links. Have fun!


(Click on "Free Download", wait for the counter to count down, then solve the captcha and download the file.)

Kaelah caned to perfection. Beautiful and I am sure painful stripes on her bare bottom. Thanks Ludwig.

Spearthrower said...

Very nice indeed, thanks. In both cases, lovely horizontal, nicely spaced strokes. Lots of heavy breathing going on between the strokes! Those weals must have lasted quite some time. Looking forward already to the next Lurkers Day!

I voted for Ludwig to take the strokes and was pleased to see the number of strokes was almost equal.

LuckyShare.net is too intrusive for me. Is there another way to get the video?

Ludwig said...

@ gustofur: Can you elaborate on what you mean by "intrusive"? Luckyshare does not try to install any download accelerators / managers and I have never seen one single report or claim about this hoster being unsafe. If you are getting a complaint from your antivirus software, I would assume that it is a false alarm.

new one said...

Thank you for this marvelous one! I especially enjoyed the flow of events without any (movie)cuts and the "professional" atmosphere. Supersexy are the reactions in Kaelah's face. It's a pity that I missed the opportunity to add one more stroke for her! ;-)

BTW: Luckyshare took me five attempts until the downloading succeded (big version). Four time it ended too early, without any warning or explanation.
Hint: don't close the download link that shows up after solving the captcha: the link will be valid for several hours (in opposite to e.g. Keepshare: 5 min. only). So in case of bad (= too small) downloads, you can just click on the link again.

Gustofur said...

Re LuckyShare: It had me run an executable file. I did this and another window popped up requesting to load another file and then update that file. I ended up with two new programs and was still unable to download your clip.
I'll try "new one"'s method before I give up.

Kaelah said...

@ sixofthebest:
Glad you like it!

@ Spearthrower:
I'm happy to hear you enjoyed the clip! And thank you for having voted for Ludwig. ;-)

@ new one:
Thanks a lot for your kind words, I'm glad you liked the clip. And thanks a lot for your description of how to deal with bad downloads!

@ Gustofur:
That sounds weird. There definitely shouldn't be any executables!

I hope you did not try the wrong link in order to download the clip. In order to find the right one, you have to scroll down first. Then click the “slow download” button. A countdown starts and then you have to solve a captcha in order to prove that you aren't a robot. After that, a line appears, stating “Click here to start your download”. When you click on the link, you can safe the video file with our clip to your computer. The only annoying thing that happens during the process is that Lucky Share opens a window with an ad in the background which you have to close again.

I cross my fingers that you will be able to safely download the clip the next time you try!

Gustofur said...

Finally got it. Great production. Thanks. Too bad we have to wait a year for the next one.

Ludwig said...

@ Gustofur: I am sorry that you had trouble with Luckyshare. From your description, I think you may have clicked on an advertising banner embedded in the site, one that said "Download here!" or something to that effect. Unfortunately, that can sometimes happen with one-click filehosters when one is not careful.

As Kaelah already wrote, you need to scroll down and click the "Slow Download" button. That is the right one.

I added a brief how-to to the post for anyone else who might be having difficulties, and to all our older video posts as well.

@ new one: I downloaded many files from Luckyshare and never had a download break off. I suppose it might just be a question of how stable the connection is between wherever you are in the world and Luckyshare's servers.

The high resolution file took a while to download but the welts were as clear as any I've seen! This was another great caning with Kaelah's expressions denying her otherwise stoic temperament. Thanks

On limited "bandwidth" while we travel, but got it downloaded at a library yesterday. Quite good. Thanks. Any chance of using paddles on the next LOL Day? Just asking.

I love the idea of couples spanking one another (switches) and would love to see a couple spanked at the same time by a third party. Maybe tied together, arms overhead, and flogged. Does that appeal to you?

Anonymous said...

On first impressions Luckyshare are asking me 1)to open a free account in order to view the movie providing my credit card info 2)to wait 40 mins for the slow download 3)pay upowards of $15 to see it.....
when I click slow download it says wait 40 mins and or register first

Ludwig said...

@ Anonymous: You don't need to provide credit card info or pay anything to download the video. If there is a message that says "wait 40 minutes for the slow download", it means that you recently downloaded another file from Luckyshare (perhaps another one of our videos?) and have to wait a set amount of time for the next free download.

Anonymous said...

Ludwig I don't mean to disagree but have not yet downloaded the movie.
Also my virus protection says to refuse the add ons.
I clicked slow download I have never downloaded any movie so far.
I also tried clicking the big green download box then I get a pop up saying I need to register & join by submitting credit card info which will not be charged but refunded.
The 40 minute counter is a tiny number set back at the start which begins to count down.I have not had the patience to wait.
I am prepared to buy your film from you or view it on clips4sale or similar mwv format service.

PS I tried again this time I had to download ilivid programme onto the computer.
I saw the capture.
it told me to pastye the file url into ilivid I don't know where the url is but I put in the luckyshare number of your movie.
so far nothing happened.
I also got 2 unwanted promotional pop up full page ads for lucky 32 gambling & William hill gambling in the course of all this which had to be disregarded,
so far I have not been able to download the movie.

Ludwig said...

@ Anonymous: I don't know what you mean by "big green download box". Could it be that you clicked on an advertising banner?

I can only repeat: You do NOT need to register anywhere, provide credit card info or install any add-ons (ilivid or otherwise) to download the video.

What you should do is:

1) Scroll down and click on "Slow Download". A counter should appear and count down from 30 seconds.

2) Once the countdown has ended, a captcha should appear. Enter the letters and / or numbers you see there. Click on "Verify & Download".

3) "Click here to start your download" should appear in the place where the captcha used to be. Click the "here", and the download should start.

So, after you click on "Slow Download", what happens? Does the 30 second counter appear and start to count down?

Anonymous said...

OK it got a little better this time.I did as you directed ignoring the many boxes with words "Download "in them.
The capture is difficult to read often so I rotated it several times.
Yes I got verify & download.
I right clicked this "save to USB"it responded All files-an error as to save it ought to read MP4 or WMV.It wouldn't save to that location I guess it can only be viewed in real time?
I will try again after 40 minutes like it asks.
See what happens.
Getting there hopefully.

Anonymous said...

Right By The way the captures are very difficult.I had to change it 50 times to get a readable one.Its impossible to see if letters are capitals or small case sometimes eventually I succeeded.It verified the download and proceeded.Then I got a blank white page that just stuck there.Nothing happened even after 5 minutes.No message telling me what was going on or anything.What ought I to be seeing?I kept getting more and different pop ads 5-6 of them for more and different betting companies.At one point I also received a pop up telling me Adobe Flash Player was not installed/updated,could this be affecting it-I didn't load it.
One good thing since installing ilivid yesterday I now have You Tube player included something I have anted but didn't know how,but sadly not been able to download your movie yet.

Ludwig said...

@ Anonymous: I agree that the captchas can be difficult to read. Unforunately, all one-click filehosters use them to protect their links.

When you have a captcha that you can read, you should enter that and left-click "Verify & Download". Then you should get "Click here to start your download". That is the link to the video file. You don't have to view the video in real time. You can download it to your hard disk. But you have to get to the point where it says "Click here to start your download", after you solve the captcha.

The pop-up claiming that your Adobe Flash Player is not installed/updated is misleading advertising. Ignore it.

If you can't get the download to work at all, the good news is that I plan to upload all our videos to Spanking Tube so people can watch them as streaming videos there. Just give me a week or two to upload all the videos there and get them organised.

Success @ last!Feel it only fair to let you know that finally I managed to successfully download your movie!(With a migraine into the bargain)
It was by using a more powerful machine.I see the capture has been improved and simplified to numbers.
Very interesting film.
Only thing I would add is it took a very long time to download even at good speeds,well over 30 minutes.
Many Thanks

Ludwig said...

@ Anonymous: That is good news. I am glad that you were able to download the video and that you find it interesting.

30 minutes is not a bad time considering that the file has 450 MB. That is decent speed, actually.

Kaelah said...

@ Gustofur:
Glad that it worked and that you liked the clip!

@ Eric:
Thank you for your kind comment!

@ Our Bottoms Burn:
Thanks, I am happy that you liked the clip. Ludwig and I both aren't so much into paddles, so the chances aren't too good. But, who knows?

@ Anonymous I:
Generally the idea of a couple being spanked together appeals to me. I guess the chance that we produce a clip involving a third party who spanks both of us are rather low, though.

@ Anonymous II:
I am happy to hear that the download finally worked!

Anonymous said...

Love the screenshots!

I'm trying to download the video but LuckyShare turns into a "Cannot find page" type of display after I enter captcha and click to download.

Do you have another file host?

Thanks!

Ludwig said...

@ Anonymous: Luckyshare seems to have been down recently and is still much slower than usual. I got a timeout error myself when trying to download the file. My guess is that they are having some technical problems or are doing a server upgrade or something to that effect.

My suggestion is to just wait a day or two and try again. And if it still doesn't work, I can find you a different filehoster.

SimplyRed said...

Am using a Macbook Air. Luckyshare does lots of things but it doesn't download any video file, fast or slow. It constantly triggers opening of some catch-penny 'Fashion Link' site. A bit frustrating.

Ludwig said...

@ SimplyRed: Try if uploaded.net works for you:

Uploaded.net link

As for the advertising popups you mention, I agree they are annoying, but this is how free filehosters like Luckyshare finance themselves. They all have advertising. Otherwise, they would not be free.

According to my statistics, people have downloaded our videos from Luckyshare more than 800 times. Only a small handful have reported problems. So the hoster works fine for most. Nonetheless, I will eventually upload all videos to a second filehoster so those readers for whom Luckyshare does not work have an alternative.

Simply Red said...

I tried again from Luckyshare, never got past the countdown and captcha. It appeared to start downloading then plaff, nothing.

I connected to Uploaded and got the high res edition which I have just watched. HOLY SMOKE! Respect, big time Respect.

A thousand thank yous. I have lots of 'wouldn't it be nice ifs' but it would be churlish to mention them in the context of such an epic production. I hope by now the production is a pleasant memory however it cannot have been easy in the making. Know that your many fans loved it. SR

please reupload A Love Our Lurkers Day Clip

Kaelah said...

@ Kuoernat:
Thank you very much for having informed us that the clip has been taken down. It will take a moment to reupload the clip and others which have obviously also been deleted. But the clip should be available again before the year is over.
