A nice clip Francois, definitely!!! While I also think she did not seem as ticklish as some of your previous models, it was not a bad clip at all. She seems to me as more of an UB ticklish than a feet ticklish, would I be correct in saying that?
That could very well have been the case, but her reactions to it were too irregular to tell for sure. Actually, her most intense reactions happened while she was being foot tickled. While I edited out some foot tickling footage while making this video, I think I edited out more upper body footage. That's a bit unusual, because as much as I like foot tickling, my personal experience is that most people tend to be more sensitive on the upper body, or at least to be easier to tickle there.
The thing about Sara isn't that she's not very ticklish so much as the fact that her verbal reactions are relatvely discreet. You can see in her face and hear in her spontaneous comments that it tickles, sometimes fairly badly, but she just doesn't burst out in loud laughter or scream like other models do. Some people are like that. Many of her visible reactions are low-key, with some silent laughter mixed in. Marie wasn't a highly skilled tickler either, although in her defense Sara was kinda tricky to get going sometimes. Marie didn't get a very easy ticklee to work with. That's why I lend a hand later on.
I really liked that position on the chair as it opens up so many tickling avenues.
There are indeed many possibilities even with a simple chair. I'll see what else I can come up with in the future. I tell you, considering I'm mostly limited to my own apartment for shoots (at least since I moved to Montreal last year), I really struggle to make the most out of what little I have to to work with. I sure wish I had easy access to a larger, more colorful location, with more equipment. But since The Last Laugh is only a sideline for me, and not an actual job with which I make a living (even though I'm in between jobs right now), I can't justify investing too much. Just paying the models is hard enough as it is.
I can understand where TTD came from but the "cue cards" thing was uncalled for and perhaps inexcusable. I'm no bastion of etiquette myself but it's comments that are posted without thinking that drive people away from this place.
Well, I suppose he didn't really mean any harm, and I can understand that he prefers the more tortuous kind of tickling (which, again, makes me wonder why he usually enjoy my work). I think I may have been a little hard on him. But the thing is that the cue card comment suggests a habit of telling the models how to react, which is basically faking, and as a tickling video producer that's about the worst insult I can imagine. Fake tickling reactions are kind of like a deadly sin in this business, at least in my opinion. So, joke or not, I don't see anything remotely funny about it. It's kind of like an attack on my ethics and reputation, you know. Again, I realize TTD didn't mean it that way, but it's certainly how it made me feel.
By the way, I do point out that Sara isn't the most reactive of my models in the clip's description (on my clip store), and a similar comment will also be included on my website when the series is finished. I believe in being honest with the customers, despite the risk of losing a few sales. But comments like that make me wonder why I bother.
I will stop now before I lose myself in banter but Francois, what this clip may have lacked in a really ticklish model it makes up for in position ingenuity and for that I thank you. 🙂
Hehehe! If you're losing yourself in banter, what does it say about me? I really appreciate your compliment, as well as your support. Thank you.
