Neither shoot worked out in the end unfortunately, as Emma-Kate wasn't ticklish and Lauren turned up but didn't want to shoot video. These things happen - I'm shooting another new model tomorrow and hopefully I'll get something good out of that one at least!

Why do models even show up if they won't do the shoot?! How exactly does that go down?
I'm not doubting you...working customer service has opened my mind to every possibility of illogic you can imagine, and then some more after that!
I also wonder how many people know about unused footage, and models not being ticklish - there have been actors and extras let go from normal movies, because they weren't right for the role, etc. (The most famous case being Back to the Future, where Eric Stoltz shot much of the movie, but was replaced by Michael J. Fox.) (This is why I LOVE behind the scene stuff, aside from the interest level on it, it also shows the general public what it takes to shoot a video.
"Duh, that looks easy! I can do that!" Yeah, until you try to do it yourself!)
Why don't you do like TickleHaven, and release some of the tossed aside clips, for a cheaper price, or on your pay site, just so people could see the effort? Some people may end up liking it anyway, you never know! Most of my artist friends will throw work away, that someone will dig out the trash can...and frame!
