Why some video companies are no good anymore...

[medikation65]

Here's my thing:

Some video companies, (Tickling Paradise, RealTickling, etc.) who were quite good when they first came out, now kind of suck in my opinion and I think I know why. They all start out by making these videos for fun. They LOVE finding nice and very ticklish girls (or guys) and making a clip or video that bottom line, IS REALLY GOOD MATERIAL!

I notice they all start out either free, or not free but with good and long preview clips. Then the clips get suspiciously shorter and shorter (Realtickling for example) and they seem to come out with a new video every two days! It becomes about quantity and not quality. As long as they release it, that's what's important, no matter how bad it is they just want to make the money. MONEY MONEY MONEY! If you notice their sites get all commercialized also.

The other side is they start putting in incredibly attractive girls in their videos, regardless of if they are ticklish or not. Well listen up, WE WANT TICKLISH GIRLS! If they are a little chunky, or perhaps a little older, (I actually like them a little older), nobody here is going to care! As long as they are giggly squirmy and very ticklish.

Well thats my two cents. Anyone else? And I know there is goiong to be some video producer who is going to say; "You don't understand how much money it costs, blah blah blah..."

Well I got news for ya, no consumer is going to CARE about your problems when it comes down to purchasing your product! Do YOU care if Wal-mart has a tornado and doubles their prices?! OF COURSE NOT!

I should stop now, or I'll be writing a small novel on this...anyone else?!

Well, I can very easily see where you're going with this, I mean, I feel exactly the same way. When I purchase a clip I want a good quality clip with length, proper action and most importantly TICKLISH GIRLS. :super_hap

But being a entrepreneurial man myself, I can easily see why they change and why they lose a lot of the stuff we want.
Taking the companies you've given as an example (Tickling paradise, RealTickling etc.), they all started out as people who wanted to fulfill their tickling fantasies and share their dream with the world. I know, I had the same ambition. But back then, there was a place in the market for ticking videos. A BIG MARKET, which these companies were soon to pick up on.
That's when these videos became more about the money.
So they probably start hiring typical "Porno Models" who, although look hot and look ticklish, may not necessarily be. 🙁

It's just life, to say the least. =/

As profits grow, the heart that made them so great begins to die. >_<

BUT! There are companies out there who, although being quite successful in comparison of other companies, they still stick to their roots of hiring truly ticklish models and producing lengthy clips like "The Last Laugh Inc." and "French Tickling". 😀😀😀

But yeah, my two pence that be. Agree or disagree, it's what I think. XD

speaking on the behalf of tickle paradise, i love their clips, for the most part, the 'lees are ticklish, but i agree, some aren't. but after having so many models, it's probably harder to find new ones, and in the case of a big company, you have to find them on a time schedule, rather fast so you can get a clip out quickly to your hungry customers.

You also have to take into account the "jaded" factor.
In the beginning it was very exciting to finally see our fantasies
on tape, but over time and seeing it over and over ;
We got use to it and it lost some magic...
Like, remember how exciting it was when we first found tickling on the inter-net?
I go back to web surfing to find tickling in obscure places
just for the excitement of discovery....
These video companies are into making a buck.
And how many women, ticklish or not are willing to be filmed,
big money or not in a vid thats going to be on the inter-net ?

I also have notice this, and for me it's also cause of lack a variety, I remember back in then we had videos, with a large diversity of victims. Each one brought something that made her/him (to some) unique. But the videos I see now don't seem to have that sort of variety, sure their different girls but they all see the same to me, in a mold making kind a way. (not saying they are, but that's how I see it)

 

[BigNorm]

luckily for me, every new video is like finding a golden goose egg all over again. it brightens my spirit like christmas morning.

 

[medikation65]

I agree with you GRm, that videospa company has the exact same video every single time only a different girl being tickled, that's all. Same position, same everything.

 

[john_q]

I was gonna mention this aswell, i defiantly noticed paradise tickling has gotten worser by the video and im a massive fan

I'll take my grainy, nth-generation dub of Bill & L over the vast majority of video-tickling that's come out over the past decade, thankyouverymuch.
😱wl:

 

[medikation65]

....I have no idea what that means..... but John Q-I agree. No good anymore.

 

[Dr. Bill Kobb]

....I have no idea what that means..... but John Q-I agree. No good anymore.

Bill & L is a short selection of scenes of a couple enjoying tickling games together. It was shot back when nearly everything(short Cal Star and Vid Tech) was done by fans for fans, as opposed to by fans for profit or whatever.

All this said though, I think Babinsky hit it on the head about the "Jaded" factor. There's still alot of great stuff out there. You just have to sift through that much more dreck.

 

[Timewarp]

Maybe you people are just jaded and will put anything down at even the hint of laziness...who knows.

 

[medikation65]

I take exception to that Timewarp, I ALWAYS liked Rock-man, tickled2death, and so far the newer nylon tickling site by guilt trip. It's not me, REALLY!

 

[GRM13]

There is nothing wrong with a hint of laziness, everyone needs a break. The problem is when it's no longer a hint and is more like a rushing flood.

 

[soda_popinski17]

For example, clips4sale has reduced the length of video clips to only 5 or 7 minutes. We do the procedure of paying by internet (entering credit card number and stuff) just for...6 minutes!???

If I wanted to see 6 minutes, i'd better download the preview clip.

Times ARE changing!

I remember that Realtickling was, around 2000's beginnings, the mother of tickling sites. it was the site that I wanted to visit first. It was along with "femfeet'.

It offered great clips like Nurse Gone Bad, Tonya's Tickle Tale, and others. Footparadise began later to appear as a strong force in tickling sites, with Gia as their star tickler, but something has changed. Now we see non-ticklish girls trying to do their best to "laugh", and the ticklers do not vary in tickling technique.

In Tickled-Men, all female ticklers have only one way to tickle, and that is to push and push just like it were bread.

I began searching by youtube and dailymotion, and the users throw great clips, but some that are GREAT are not consistent. They upload a clip, and then they don't appear anymore.

Tickling Companies must get a super-push when talking about good scripts, for example, a young male peeping tom who gets inside a witch's house. The witch is a beautiful amazon woman, and she traps him, ties and tickles him mercilessly, while he is shirtless and tied to an operation table.

That's another bad thing. When the companies order their ticklers to tie the victims, they tie them with shirt, or with a weak bond in their hands and feet, or face down. The people wanna see the skin, the contact between fingernails and armpits or feet.

Great topic!

I think what it honestly comes down to and why 95% of all vids and makers now days suck is as someone else stated...money! You figure, our fetish has nearly gone mainstream in the past 10 yrs (well, mainstream at least to the adult entertainment world).

And ive said this before, and ill say it again..you have tons of reg porn video makers trying to "cash in" on the tickling fetish. And sadly, thats about 80% of the market and makers out there now..hence, they suck...cause they're not into tickling and dont know how to make the fetish come to life on video. They all see it as a silly thing...which is why the vids are silly.

As for the ones who used to be good but suck now...I think its a combo of 2 things..1 being all about money (as stated by others) and the other...they're seeing how "newbies" to finding the tickling community are settling for the bullshit that's getting put out, so they figure, thats what folks wanna see..so they make bullshit too

I can not tell you how many people LOVE bullshit tickle videos over on TMF and praise every single one of them! But that place sadly isnt the same either, all the newbies over there in the past 5 years has kinda made that place a circus side show, but I still post and visit there when im bored cause some folks are either cool or amusing.

Like everything else (music, movies, the world, etc), everything has its day when it is no more or slim to none...and I think over the past 5 years..this is whats been happening with tickle fetish videos..and it continues to go downhill as we speak.

 

[tallbuckeye]

Sure, as charsbuk says, camera angles could be better in some cases. Lighting too. But...

There's so much variety today! Cheap video cams let the fans-for-fans stuff come out, from every corner of the globe... if 'pro' video has tailed off recently, well, fine. It's still miles ahead of the old VHS crud from back in the day. I should know, I bought it all. Sites like clips4sale are candy stores compared to the video desert of 10-15 years ago. Doesn't mean you have to buy every piece of candy in the store... wait for what you like. It'll come along.

When I Was A Boy We Used A Kerosene Sonicare.....

Support The Producers You Do Like. It Must Be Tough For Those Trying To Produce A Good, This Is What The Tickling Community Really Wants, Video Only To Have Sales Cannabalized By The Tidal Wave Of Clips Out There. I Too Find It Discouraging To Have To By Shorter And Shorter Clips. I Guess We Went From Famine To Feast And Now Have To Be Careful Not To Overindulge. I'll Have A Lily In The Stocks, Hold The Shoes And Mayo, To Go! 😉
