Tickling clips Production Process

[TickleNinja98]

I have always wondered what really went into producing a tickling clip. Can someone give me a step by step description of what it takes. From start to release. Thanks

1. Find model. Craigslist used to be a huge asset until they started pulling my ads out of nowhere. Model Mayhem is a resource that helps some, but not as much as you'd expect. I've also used irl friends and friends of friends and had a lot of success with that. Inform them of what's taking place; this is helped greatly by already having something you've shot before so you can give them a visual idea of what you're getting at (many, many, many people assume "tickling videos" are a euphemism, and it takes them several minutes to fully understand what you're talking about). This also works as a good "feeling out" process, as I prefer to work with a certain personality type and being able to converse like a normal, reasonable person helps me decide to work with them. Find a day that works for both of us, then Phase 2.

2. The set-up. I typically work out of my apartment, though sometimes I'll also rent a local cabin if I'm feeling particularly in the mood for it. Make sure everything is clean and presentable, the way I'd clean up to impress a date coming over. This individual is walking into a strangers home to be tied up, so a clean house should help put them at ease a little bit upfront. Because I shoot in an apartment, they living room is set up prior to arrival as to not waste time; tables are set up and the stocks I use are laid out. Straps are attached to whatever, camera, tripod, and lights all set where I'll need them.

3. The shoot itself. Everything is laid out, and I'll point to it with an explanation on what it is again (I'll do this initially in step 1) and demonstrate it. I'll try and be as chatty as possible with both them and if they have an escort, them too. Some people say they feel uncomfortable with an uninvolved third party just hanging around watching, but in my experiences it helps a lot with the overall energy in the room keeping conversation flowing, and I especially like when the friend will tease and mock them from across the room during filming. Even better if they can be convinced to get involved and tickle while I man the camera; a free assistant and the added benefit of getting their own natural dynamic on camera.

The actual "tickle shoot" part is pretty much what you've seen in BTS Tickle Abuse and Tickle Room content, people talking about various things alongside the fetish stuff as you arrange certain things in between takes. It's fun as shit. After an hour or so they get paid and leave, and I clean up the apartment and pack up all the equipment. Now the fun part.

4. Editing what I shot. If you're shooting for 2 hours, I'm likely getting something like a half hour or 45 minutes of "usable" content out of it, give or take certain factors. It's now time to dig the for the gem out of the mountain of material I've taken. I use the fairly basic Adobe Premier Elements on a PC I built specifically for video editing, so the technical aspects aren't much of an issue for me. If I need to color correct, I'll do that. I grew up in an era where people who bought clips expressed frustration with the guys tickling "being all in the frame and distracting", so anything that has my fat face in it gets cuts out. It's quite common that a model will ask me to adjust something with restraints, and instead of stopping the camera and restarting that'll just get cut out, etc and so forth. Boring shit, but something a lot of time is spent on for a piece of tickleporn.

Amazing that you took the time to clarify and explain your process. Many thanks to you!
