HEX-009 Hypnosis Experiment - Prank - Ayaka Tomoda

About this work

This experiment was about figuring out how to pull off hypnosis pranks without being detected — we came up with ideas and put them into practice (lol). During main filming and breaks we steadily planted seeds (suggestions), then took advantage of openings to harvest (activate) them. We felt a bit bad toward Ayaka — an excellent subject with a great personality — but the staff's pranks didn’t stop and only escalated, and I ended up being made to join in as well (wry smile). Highlights include post-hypnotic activations hitting her while she was defenseless in a makeup room full of hidden cameras, setups during meals and phone calls with no regard, and ultimately turning an entire scene into a surprise hypnosis prank.
