The Challenges of Cancelations: How VR Director Justin Cane Overcame Obstacles to Shoot 3-Part VR Series
(Los Angeles, CA) Adult Virtual Reality director, Justin Cane is no stranger to the challenges of shooting adult films. When contacted by BaDoink Studios to shoot a three-part series to commemorate their 8th anniversary, he rose to the challenge knowing that it wouldn’t be easy. “Shooting a standalone VR scene can be difficult depending on the circumstances, so I knew shooting three scenes back-to-back would be my Sistine Chapel of VR shoots,†said director Justin Cane.
The three-part series starring Leana Lovings, Anna Claire Clouds, Kylie Rocket, Lily Bell, and Aria Valencia consisted of one boy/girl scene, one threesome, and one five-girl reverse gang bang. Remix Villa was shot with five actresses over three days in May 2023 and included extensive 2D bonus content. Cane stated that “Getting that many top-tier talents together at the same place on the same day is already a huge challenge, but then getting them to come back in their recurring roles at the same location with the same people took some real schedule trickery and finagling.†The popular actresses, all in high demand needed to prepare for the scene well in advance, and each had an extensive script to memorize before the shoot.
Badoink Studios and Justin Cane painstakingly planned each and every facet of the shoot from minute-by-minute timetables to 2D shooting windows. Despite this, a last-minute cancellation forced the VR veteran director to think quickly and find a solution as an already logistically challenging day quickly became a near-catastrophe. “Throw in a cancellation by the performer we had booked as the lead the morning of the first big shoot, and we had a bit of a situation. Luckily, Leanna came in last minute, saved the day and just absolutely nailed her role,†Cane remarked. With over a decade of adult film production under his belt, Justin’s hard-earned contacts within the industry became an invaluable asset and Leana’s performance became an instant BaDoink Studios classic.
The first two episodes of Remix Villa are available to stream or download at BaDoinkVR now, with the final installment coming July 21, 2023.
