How to get into videos?

I've recently been pretty curious about getting into tickling videos, ie either doing the tickling or getting tickled. I'm a switch, I love both ends of it =X.

How exactly does someone get into the video system? I see lots of girls that are in many studios clips, but not many guys (that I have noticed).

Also, if you were worried about security/anonymity, would using a "video name" (see: porn name) work to help keep you hidden from employers/friends and such?
 
Seriously, if you are worried about anonymity, don't get into tickling videos! :)
 
Yeah, if remaining anonymous is a big concern, then don't do it. Besides that, I don't really think there is much of a demand for men to star in tickling videos...especially as the tickler.
 
If you would like to get in the video world, the best way to do it is check out and see what producers are in your state/area; unless your willing to travel. Get in contact with them and maybe they will be interested and maybe they won't. Like Sandrock said, Men aren't a very high demand these days. But it is always nice to see some male lees from time to time. If your worried about security, again don't do it if that is so much of an issue. Or you can wear a hooded mask like some people do. Hooded, I wouldn't worry about a name change. Not hooded, then maybe you should if your a bit wery about the situation. As a model I leave it up to the producers whether they want to use my stage name or real name. And of course they aren't going to just lay out your full legal name, just the first atleast.
 
Hmm, replies are good so far!

Looking for more of a lee role anyhow, I know most people prefer f/* clips and such. As for anonymity, it's not a huge issue, just something I was curious about.

Anyone know if there are any producers in the NY area?
 
cloud cuckoo land

Basically, you don't want to appear in tickling vids, you just want to tickle/be tickled by models and get paid for it. It doesn't work that way. Here's the text of a reply to a similar question I made a year or so back.

'Tickling Jobs

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To do this professionally for a 'reputable' video producer, the first criterion for casting is to have no particular interest in the subject. Anything done for money is a job, ultimately, and a producer would expect professionalism from his actors. He has no desire to pay a slavering maniac to indulge personal fantasies.

About 15 years ago, broke and with no work in sight, I wound up doing a couple of professional spanking films for a producer I'd met when I was MC-ing a fetish event. Basically I was hired because we'd discussed kinks, and he knew I wouldn't go berserk with lust and become uncontrollable when the model bent over my knee. While I am not adverse to swatting a pretty bottom (ask my wife!) it was never an obsession, and something I'd done IRL anyway.

And filming's not sexy. Hot lights, a room full of cameramen, lighting men, makeup girls and all the rest of it, plus a director waving his arms around cueing the action like an orchestra conductor- you have to be aware of everything at once, plus give a convincing performance. For example, there I was, the tuxedoed Lord Something-or-other, moving menacingly toward my trembling chambermaid (she was wearing full Victorian maid's outfit, of course) whom I'd just caught drinking my favourite sherry, while we were both trying to remember the idiotic dialogue about her getting fired without a character reference if she didn't submit to a spanking, ('and you may plead and beg me for mercy all you want, my dear girl!) while trying not to trip over the sound man's cables since this was a two-shot from the waist up. By the fourth retake it's all getting to be quite a bore.

During a break, I got chatting to another fellow who was shooting another spanking film (studio hired for the day, so two films being shot, back to back), and we were both amused to find that although we were both getting paid to do what other men would gladly pay to do, spanking was not particularly our thing. Life, we agreed, often consisted of getting stuck with someone else's heart's desire.

And the girls left with their boyfriends after the day's filming wrapped, so nothing went on in that respect either."

Tickle Abuse is based in NY to my knowledge, I know they use males as 'lees on occasion, and I'm sure there are other companies as well. F/M definitely has its fans, if it's something you'd really like to try and you feel you'd be a good 'lee (fun and genuinely ticklish) don't let anyone discourage you! :)
 
Agreed on the filming...

I agree with the above comments. Shooting a fetish film is anything but sexy. I have been shooting fetish material for several years (Mostly foot fetish work) and it is quite a process to select the models, secure a shooting location, then coordinate everyone to be there on time, then shoot the material. You are contstantly running from camera to camera, testing the lighting, taking shots, and re taking shots, then getting the model to hold certain positions, all the while attempting to create an authentic piece of work. I literally work up a huge sweat when filming a piece. I will typically get 3-4 hours of filming, and by the time editing is complete I will have maybe an hour or less of decent material. I look for several things in a model when interviewing: appearance, personality, sincereity, chemistry between myself and them, and a degee of openess to the shoot. I do not let fetish lovers or "fans" in my world simply because of too many horror stories I have heard of in the past. I do it for the enjoyment of creating it, and giving the fans something they love, but I in the end it is to create an income. However I always aspire to make the material as authentic as possible. Therefore I look for sincerely ticklish models that have few reservations about doing a foot fetish tickling video. To answer the original question however, find a producer that produces male foot tickling videos, send him your interest in it and some photos and take it from there. You will find that producers tread carefully in their selection, as I do. So don't expect alot of call backs.
 
I shot a video with Bella at NEST, with myself as the 'lee - if she gets her act togeter (jokes! ily Bella ;) ), it should be out soon. I went by a different name; I don't think I'd haver minded going by my "actual" nickname or screenname, but for anonymity's sake it's probably better that I didn't.
It's (being shot in a tickle video) not as glamourous as you might think; I enjoyed myself muchly :D but Libertine's right; it's not sexy. Hot lights, some weirdo filming you (Amnesiac :p ) and nearly drowning; it's more like a "job" than actually enjoying yourself.

Although I did enjoy myself a wee bit, I can't deny. :D

Yeah yeah, chatter on son; I love you single/childless little gits and your concept of 'soon' :bonk: (the first clip *should* be available this week, it would have been done yesterday but I was at the circus :juggle: )

I find it amusing how much less often you see people come out of the woodwork to tell the gritty and boring side of video production when a female wants to get into it compared to a male :rolleyes: Having said that, I do agree 100% that 'glamorous' ain't the word. The action itself can be absolutely incredible, as seen in a truly good clip; when the 'ler and 'lee find that perfect sync and everything else just melts away *and* it was captured on video it feels like the stars aligned just right :rainbow:. But everything else, from the pre-shoot arranging of lights and furniture to getting the bondage correct and the 'lee positioned and the angles correct and the 87 and a half other details, can be a royal pain and make for a much longer day than anyone anticipated. Still, I'll always I love the saying "do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life", and it definitely fits in this case; there are far less fun ways to make $$, I'll take this ;)

Now I wonder why that is!! :)

WHAT CIRCUS? I wanna go to the circus. :(

*The* circus hon, Ringling Bros and Barnum & Bailey, it was SO awesome :cool2:

Now I wonder why that is!!

LOL, usually because folks don't want guys to be in videos (as though what they personally want to see is all that matters and all that sells :rolleyes: ), and they certainly don't want guys to have a good time and get paid for it. Then there's the posters who don't know what they're talking about but love the sound of their own voices in their heads as they type...luckily the F/M fans can count on the producers with a brain to handle it :)
 
that's why I love my sister....tell em'

however, you didn't tell me you were going to the circus:dropatear


Mom always said you were greedy...lol

Can't argue with that. ;)

Did yeh see anything interesting at the circus?

EDIT: ZOMGRINGLINGBROS! I am incredibly jealous...
