Trust me your posts, ideas and compliments do not go unnoticed.
I'm kind of on a mission to get you one good pantyhose scene. It could
take some time but ... your cries have been heard.
.....Just one?
How about more...like, a LOT more?
Okay, since you HAVE heard my cries, I have asked this question to
many a people and producer on this wonderful forum. Some have given us
pantyhose clips in the past...ONCE, maybe a few times, and then never
again. (Like Viviana's Vault, a clip store I love, but again, only ONE
pantyhose shoot, with pantyhose too thick and kind of overlit and
washed out.)
Here's the question that no one seems to be able or care enough to
answer:
You hire a model, paying her, from what I've gathered over the years
of listening and asking, over $100 an hour. I know it's more, but I'll
go very low and say it's $100 an hour to get tickled. She's there in
the studio. The great unanswered question: WHY NOT HAVE HER DO A
PANTYHOSE TICKLING CLIP, AND A BAREFOOT CLIP, THUS MAKING ALL PARTIES
HAPPY?
If you can answer that question, I'll buy every pantyhose clip you
ever make from now until, you close down in 79 years.
I mean....SIGH...., (I'm kind of twittling my thumbs in confusion...)
it's just so EASY for me to understand. Let's say
I had a
tickling video company. I hire a model, and have to pay her this huge
amount of money. I've worked as a janitor, cleaning tables, doing
dishes, videotaping weddings, office work.... I've never made more
than $8.50 an hour, working harder than they work. Now, I won't be
mean to them, I'm a nice guy. I' m trying to shoot a no-budget film
now, paying my actor NOTHING, just a cut of the profits if I ever do
make money. I dare say, and someone disagreed with me before, it's
harder to do an independant film than a tickle video. There's a huge
amount of preplanning, storyboards, you shoot longer. It takes way
longer to edit and put in effects and titles. We're outside in the hot
sun, or cold winters, fighting the heat, sweat, mosquitos, bugs...
The shortest day I've shot was two and a half hours, the longest was
five and a half hours...and this is considered nothing to people who
shoot all day long!
I would tell the model beforehand that we're shooting a pantyhose and
a barefoot shoot. I'd ask her to bring a specific pair of pantyhose
and nice outfit, describing what I want - dress pants, dress, skirt,
etc. (Obviously, whatever she had) But I'd also go out and buy a
stock of pantyhose, the best ones I've seen photograph are
Sheer
toe, no reinforced heel and toe, Barely-there flesh colored, nude, or
tan pantyhose. That way, if her's were too thick and baggy, or she
forgot! you wouldn't have to worry.
I mean, FM Concepts shoots, with each and every girl, a sock video, a
barefoot video, a pantyhose video, and then they shoot a bondage,
costume, foot worship set, etc. Since you do just tickling, fine, you
don't need all the other stuff. But maybe because people don't like FM
Concepts, they refuse to consider this option. Fine, if you hate their
work, I've stated before how crappy it is, but they do satisfy all
possible interests, and obviously make a lot of money, because they
have now I believe 12 different sites, a clip site, and have been
around for over a decade. You don't HAVE to do crappy tickling like
they do, but you can copy their capitalistic strategy and make it
better. I mean, you've got the model THERE already, why not?
Are the models that hard to work with that refuse to do anything
different? How ARE the models, anyway?
(That's another question people seem unable to answer. Are they like
Paris Hilton stuck up, or just sit there like a bump on a log, or are
really bitchy and hard to work with? I mean, they are getting paid
more money than I make in two or three days for 1 hour of work.... I'd
be nice, but I'd tell them they have to put the socks or pantyhose or
costume on, I mean, that a lot of money!)
Is it ever possible to NEGOTIATE wth the models? say, I'll pay you
$150 for 2 hours of work, we'll do these pantyhose, pantyhose with
costume, barefoot shoots, and yeah, that's not $100 an hour, but that's
better than nothing an hour because you don't do the shoot.... ?
Whew, that's a lot, but it just seems hard for the other guys to
understand, or they don't want to take the time to consider all this.
I just feel all of us would benefit in the long run. You'd make more
money, have more options, more variety of clips, and we customers
wouold be very happy. We'd have what we want....and you have more of
our money!
On a parting note, I really like Juliette Haven. Is she coming back
for any shoot, obviously including pantyhose tickling?
Thanks for listening!
