The following how-to manual seems to have quite a following among at least some of those who make tickling videos:
1. Hire models on the basis of their looks alone. If they're pretty enough, nobody is going to care whether or not they're ticklish or whether they have a clue how to tickle.
2. If they respond to tickling at all, make sure they moan, scream, or cry, but never laugh.
3. When you use bondage, be sure to use positions that make the most ticklish parts of the model's body inaccessible. Hogtying will make it impossible to reach the belly, pinning the wrists behind the back will keep the underarms off-limits, and seating the model in a chair will keep the soles pressed firmly to the floor.
4. Hire as your camera person a frustrated film school graduate who believes in being creative, and who frequently diverts the camera from the tickling to show more interesting stuff - bound limbs, observers in the room, the ceiling, etc.
5. Spend as much time as possible setting up the scene, and devote long stretches to non-tickling dialogue. This will minimize the amount of the video actually devoted to tickling.
6. Displaying the tickler's sense of humor is much more important than the tickling itself, so have the tickler make inane comments the whole time he is tickling. (For some reason, this rule seems to apply only to male ticklers.)
7. If the tickler by accident happens to find a ticklish spot on the ticklee, make sure the tickler leaves that spot immediately and goes to spots where the ticklee isn't ticklish and stays there.
8. Devote large amounts of time to tickling body parts that usually aren't associated with tickling - butts, thighs, breasts, etc. Anybody can tickle armpits, bellies, and feet.
9. If despite your best efforts one of the models turns out to be ticklish, spend as little time as possible on tickling that model so you can devote more time to the ones who aren't ticklish.
10. Make sure ticklers don't know the right way to tickle different body parts. For example, if they're tickling feet, make sure they massage or claw instead of stroke - this will decrease the risk that the ticklee actually will laugh.
11. If the ticklee says "Stop!" stop.

. If the action is obviously fake than by all means rant, but if the 'lee is truly ticklish in those areas I say have at it and make something new and creative for a change.
