A rescission of the tickle fetish

[weezl]

I'm seeing a lot of rose-tinted nostalgia glasses. Obviously your opinion of any given clip is going to be subjective, but objectively as time goes on video/audio quality increases, and a much greater number of people are producing tickling videos. There's just a whole lot more material out there now, making a wide array of different styles of video available; it seems really unlikely to me that just as tickling video production actually becomes an established thing everybody suddenly forgets how to make good videos for no particular reason. And personally, in 9/10 cases I prefer the newer videos to the older ones.

Characterizing it as "rose-tinted" is a misnomer. And if it really seems "unlikely" to you and you prefer the newer videos to the older ones, then I have to ask: have you even watched any of the older videos and what is your preferred style of tickling?

There was a lot of crap back in the old days. But most of my favorite videos of all time were from the prime of TP and RT. It's quite simple really; I don't know how they did it, but the girls were extremely ticklish and they kept coming back for more. Maybe the money was easy, they didn't take themselves too seriously and it the producer was fun to work with.

Interesting to see this sort of discussion of videos, and I think there's a bit of the "old versus new" thing happening, alright. But it's with the viewers. Anyone under roughly thirty years of age has likely never known active pursuit of their fetish interests without the video option. Or, for that matter, the network connectivity afforded by the computer and the internet. I was around 47 when I saw my first true modern tickling video (from Anna.), but active (sometimes feverish) engagement with the emerging community had already been going on for a dozen years and was always clearly just an ancillary accompaniment to real live participation. (in which I was heavily invested)

I'm glad videos weren't around when I was younger and trying to sort things out and put them in a gratifying perspective. It is possible to ask (or expect) too much of a mere video. The best video would be one which aims at actually adding to one's overall life experience, rather than offering a substitute.

I kinda doubt that. In todays day and age, all u need is a part time job to afford an internet connection and computer. Maybe I misunderstood you though

I also am not into licking. This is another kind of fetish for me that I am not into.
Producers tend to cram all imaginable kind of stuff into all of their products to give each clip at least a little bit of everything. This gives some full clips still an impression of a preview, zapping through lot of different scenes.
Do they hope everyone will buy it then? But I won't any more since I tried some clips that had licking, foot sucking and all that stuff mixed in that don't give me anything. I am not going to pay a whole clip just for some seconds of footage I really like.
Please think different in the future.

Don't really think it matters though. All I can tell you for certain is that she won't be in any other videos with us or any other producer of this content. Very sad, but at least we got two with her.

Are you at liberty to explain why she doesn't want to come back for more videos?

Providing insight into these types of things allows your fans to get more interested in your product. A lot of us are into the behind the scenes interviews and stuff. My guess is she got a boyfriend that isn't into this fetish or you somehow pissed her off.

Interesting, but guesses are wrong in this case. She just is no longer interested in doing any video like this. A personal choice on her part.

I like this thread because it taught me a new word, "rescission." Not that that was intentional by the OP.

Those that are more legitimate, still probably only make beans, and have no desire to enhance their production quality / invest in new gear, etc. Frankly, there were only a couple instances where I seen good quality HD video and I believe it was shot with a camera, not a camcorder. Most of it looks soft. They have 4k video now, and 3d camcorders that would blow the current junk away. Then you have the really crappy amatuer editing skills. You'd think after years of making videos as a "professional" you'd want to improve your abilities.

I hate to say this but a camcorder is a type of camera.

Also, at the pro-consumer/entry-level pro end of the market, full frame DSLRs (i.e. still cameras) continue to provide the highest video quality - they are just not very practical for this type of shooting as they require a lot of skill and continuous manual control. Professional grade camcorders are really an overkill for this market (particularly 4K, as it isn't even making it into mainstream home use yet). 3D camcorders are simply standard camcorders with lens attachments - a cheap gimmick that no one uses as no one is watching them back in a 3D format! Good quality, HD camcorders and good lighting is still the best option - the 'soft' looks are more likely down to people just not knowing much how to get a good picture from their equipment and everyone has to start somewhere.

Some of us do make a living out of this although it is more of a struggle I feel - particularly since the advent of mass piracy that you mentioned. I wouldn't want to be solely reliant on tickling and other fetish video production however, because it is such an unreliable market. I also feel it would be boring to never do anything else, and so I do other work also. I'm sure that many other producers are in a similar situation.
