Nope...I didn't see that one, although it sounds like the premise was similar! Mine featured a walkie-talkie and had to have been aired in 1963. There is no doubt about the year at all -- because my family moved frequently, I can date it by the house I was in.
I've often wondered if my little head dreamed it, because I never have found the commercial.
Don't get me wrong - I have enjoyed Dave's and Robert's videos immensely. They are part of a different side of the experience.
Using somebody like me in a video has its pluses and minuses. On the plus side, nobody ever needed to tell me what to do. I knew what I liked to see and I just did scenes that way. When I was feeling "into" it, I think I pulled off some solo good sinks even though when I did the first shoot ("Quicksand Girl"), I'd had little real mud experience.
On the minus side, I was limited by things that I couldn't do for personal, non-quicksand-related reasons. I had to stop at a certain point with erotic material (ironic, since my whole Quicksand Thing IS erotic!). I was also incapable of treating the mudpit like a business. Being unable to articulate a reason why I did not like an idea did not prevent me from completely refusing to execute that idea anyway even if it left the suggester of that idea dazed, smarting...and mystified.
Although I strongly suspect that not everybody you see in a quicksand video around here is one, I do recommend that a producer use professional fetish models...unless they don't mind suddenly NOT shooting what they planned to shoot.
We're different in why we sink. I don't experience a "rush" at all, if you are referring to the adrenaline thing, that is. I just like the way it feels to sink. It's not real complex at all.
