Hi cherry,
It's not a strict policy but as a general rule I won't book models that are currently appearing on other tickle sites...I don't see the point of re-using the same models across multiple companies, and from my own point of view I want to remain somewhat unique. I work with a few models that have done small amounts of tickle stuff before (as with Sophia and Sophie Nova who'd both shot briefly for FM Concepts before I worked with them) but as a general rule I'd avoid models that are already out there. The last shoot with Sophia was booked in before she appeared in the tickle honeys clips - it was originally due for last month so I postponed it until now, which worked better anyway!
I am also shooting Jess again this week, again postponed from the end of last year for the same reason. If the models do appear regularly on other tickle sites I would almost certainly stop shooting them altogether, but for now I'll see how it goes and how the clips do!
Here's why I think you should change your rule, Turtleboy:
-Because you can do something different than they do.
-Because you'll shoot the girls in pantyhose, realy nice ones, where the other companies most probably won't. Us pantyhose lovers will be sad!
-Because the quality of your videos, lighting wise, clarity wise for sure, angles, etc. is far superior to many other companies. (Their "HD" isn't HD. Aspect ratio wise, it is, to cut off any trolls, but it's so low quality rendered, it doesn't count...)
Because your girls ACTUALLY GET TICKLED! (Boy, you sure threw napalm on my fire of an argument with the FM Concepts statement, Jesus Christ!! Many girls there get tickled...ha!....and the ticklers...doesn't even TOUCH the other girls feet!)
You're girls seem to enjoy it a hell of a lot more than the other companies, and overall, your quality has them beat by a landslide.
For an easy example, way back when, there was a girl called Wendy who appeared in a few FM Concepts videos. She was tickled. .....I didn't even notice it, and think I just deleted the clips.
The she appeared in a RealTickling video, tickled rolled up in a carpet on her pantyhose feet with great lighting and actualy getting tickled. And HOLY CRAP was she ticklish, and had a great laugh! I was like, "Is that the same girl?!! Yes, she was!"
(Same goes for Hollywood movies. In Star Trek -Insurrection, the "love interest" was played by Donna Murphy, and goddamn did she suck. Shit, she didn't make one facial expression aside from utter boredom. It was such a bad performance, I wondered how it got past the editors. I kept thinking, "Picard would not bother with a romance with Dr. Crusher, and settle for this devoid-of-emotion hag?!"
Then she appeared in Spiderman 2, but directed by Sam Raimi. And WOW! She had facial expressions, she was warm, she acted!!!! Amazing what a director can do with the same actress or actor.)
Well, you're a director. ANY of your girls, used by another company, may just as well suck. WE observe them from your work, but we may not even notice them if they worked for someone else.
I hope you take my thoughts into consideration! What do you other guys and gals think?
