I had posted this on the old forum, but it must have gotten deleted in the shuffle. Or no one liked it, but I'll present it for those of you who may have missed it. Many of the people in the forum seem to obviously be kind hearted people, and that big religious discussion after Pyscho left showed that many have a deep faith. Well, we have this forum, many of the members produce tickling videos which we enjoy, so I got an idea. Why not make a charity tickling video? Or several? Make an awesome, kickass video, and donate part of the profits to a charity, like Feed-The-Children? It's just an idea, but may help a lot of suffering people, and give us a lot of pleasure. Everyone wins. Then whe asked aout our fetish, if ever, we can quietly ask, "We fed starving children...exactly what have YOU done, so that you can stand here and judge me?" Now, I don't know if this is possible with the profits, I don't knwo if they are that big, I'll admit there are a lot of "I don't knows" on my part, because I don't run a video company. I've got ideas to increase profits, like adding more fetishes to the video so that a wider range of people will purchase them. (Example: The last video from RealTickling shows a girl in stocks getting her bare feet ticled. She starts off with pantyhose. Well, if you had a girl tickling her, you could add a few more fetishes with the girl alone - if she is redheaded, and/or wearing heels, or sandals, or lingerie.. you get the idea. You now have five or six fetishes portrayed instead of two or three.) More people will buy, who may otherwise pass because their favorite fetish isn't shown. You could advertise on egroups, yahoo clubs, newsgroups, etc. Broaden your advertising range, basically. I will give whatever help I can, technical hints, (I've done video work before), storyboards, write the story, (I thought of one that has about THIRTY fetishes that could satisfy a whole hell of a lot of people, but that is pretty simple and doesn't need any sort of complex sets. What does everyone think?

I was going one better some time ago. I was planning a charity Tickle event. Where there would be tickle booths set up like racks, stocks, tables etc. Tickle contests and all kinds of events.
The places that expressed interest in providing the space to hold this event whose names I will not mention here but the locations would have been most sufficient since they would have had the equiptment there if you know what I mean.
The problem was that they wanted too much of the money collected to use their premises.
For example...IF say 25 dollars was collect at the door...they wanted 20 dollars of it, leaving only 5 bucks to go to charity.
The other problem was they would not allow a Saturday to be used.
So the Hyenas Club was left out in to cold for a while till I came up with an alternate plan..
The Hyenas Club itself is a NON Profit Org.
The Charity we will be donating event monies to will be "Tomorrows Childern Fund".
This Charity provides Medical Attention, medicine etc. to under priviledged children whose families cannot afford the needed medical attention for these children who have severe sicknesses etc.
The Video idea you have is a good one but that is basically an individual effort whereas perhaps if a vid was made at a "Gathering" event, the proceedes could be donated to the Charity chosen.
Therein again lies the problem.... Location.
I hope to have this solved as soon as possible.

more thoughts
Well, one, most people cannot/maybe don't want to attend one of these, I mean, they're in public, reporters may show up to kind of make fun of participants, (I'm a Republican, so I have very little respect for the media, who love to look down and judge people unfairly - look at Richard Jewel, ANY person of religious pursuasion, etc.) If someone is from another state, they can't drive that far...now, I'm NOT saying don't do it, by all means. ANY help to the poor and needy is important, there are far more suffering and hungry people in the world than there are well fed ones. There are EVEN MORE, even in the USA, who cannot afford adequate medical help. I myself can't even afford my own companies insurance plan because it's worthless and ridiculously expensive. Now, a video, that's a different story. One, people are more willing to pay for a video that they can view over and over again, where an event, they can only go to once, if they can fit it into they're schedule. Two, you can make money on down the line. If the video comes out on a Friday, lets say, if someone can't afford it Friday, they just wait a week or two for they're next check then they can buy it. If you are broke when the event happens, tough luck. So, there's a better chance, a longer span of time to raise more money. AND, several companies can do this, RealTickling. Magic Touch, Foot Paradise, etc. etc. (Even FM Concepts if they cared, I don't know if they even visit this forum.)
Basically, I have ideas that I don't know if they were ever tried before. One, as I said before, pack this thing with different fetishes, broaden your range further than any other video. Like I said, a typical video has maybe three or four fetishes. You can throw, I don't know, twenty, thirty in there. To do this, you would need to create something never before done, I don't think - Tickle Erotica. Erotica is a story surrounding sex, porn is just sex. Many women prefer erotica over porn, I heard once, because you get to know he models, a married couple on a date, a lonely single and her new plumber, whatever. Guys, if they don't want it, can just fastforward to the sex. If you would start off with a story, you could appeal to a broader range than just a tickle video. Make a story based on an episode from the Nylon Dungeuon, for example, or a spy interrogation, or babysitter, or whatever. I had the ramework of a story I had thought up that would include at least twenty, twenty five fetishes in ONE VIDEO. If any of teh comapnies are interested, I can send it to them, or post it on the forum. To use as is, or as an example, to broaden their horizons. You can sell many more videos this way, added to the fact that more people will buy if they know their money is going to help some little kid get medicine or food.

Who says you can't do both? They will just require seperate project plans thats all. Both ideas are parallel to each other and compliment eachother very well. One seems to pick up where the other left off. This is some good brain storming! We need the project outlines and basic available resources and then go from there.
There's a place I saw listed in NJ that has space available for parties and they are looking for new party theme ideas. This place may be worth the looksee. I've never called this place and don't know any other info than the website address. Here it is if someone is interested in doing the leg work for now.
Down the road I may be able to commit to helping more but this is it for now.😀

While a great idea, the costs of producing a video like the one that you describe would be prohibitive.
The more segements you have in a video, the longer it take to shoot them. The more time it takes to shoot stuff the longer the model is there. The longer she is there, the more it costs. An already costly shoot then gets VERY expensive.
Add more models, add more costs.
Most of the tickling video companies are operations that operate on a very low profit level. Taking the $ hit of producing a video that returend none of the investment of making it, AND creating a product that would drain sales from other products that did pay would be a killer combination.
I speak for no company, and base my opinions on the conversations I've had with various people in the industry. (The tickling fetish, and other ones also) so take my words with that in mind.

I'm pretty naive at stuff like this, but I was thinking...what if the subjects being video taped or sacraficed at the party (or gathering) were volunteers that are then hand picked?
I would definitely volunteer for such a thing, but I would have to consult my better half before commiting (and yes I am a Dom but I'm not stupid!)
Anyway, just food for thought...😱

It wasn't for lack of interest that the Charity Tickle Event did not come to be a reality. In fact there was a surprisingly great show if interest. People as far as the Mid West. and other places north and south of there accross the country were very interested and said they would be there and bring friends and MONEY to such a Charity Event.
The problem and ONLY problem was nailing down the place to have it at the day/time they offered it to me which was very inconvienient and unacceptable.
As for "Reporters" being there. That would be doubtful. Since the Gathering is somewhat private and by invitation only as well as relatively restricted in the sense that there would only be people there who are into and interested in Tickling.
IF there were any kind of "reporters" on hand, they would be from a Fetish and or Tickle related publication and NOBODY would be made fun of or put down.
This event has been in the Planning for some time now. Longer than I care to admit and definatly too long to be stuck in the "planning" stage for that matter but hey, stuff happens and it had to be put on the back burner for a while.
By the way, the Hyenas_Club is an official Name Registered/Copyrighted Club.
I doubt also that ANY of the Video companies would even consider giving squat to charity It costs to much to hire "models" to fake ticklishness.
It would be MUCH better to have real people who are genuinly ticklish and INTO tickling who would be willing to be video taped.

then do that!
Then hire someone who isn't officially a "model." There are MANY girls out there that are actually prettier than many models. Here's another thing no one thought of. Maybe I'm wrong, but...why not ask the model to do it for charity herself? Here's a few options. Do two videos, one for profit, one for charity. Ask the model to accept payment for the profit video, and volunteer her services or the charity one. Kind of like, accept payment for a day rate instead of a hourly rate. Or simply ask her to do it for free. I don't know where the hearts of these models lie, but I'm sure one or more would be glad to help out a very good cause. Tell them what you are doing, where the money will go, tell her how much was made after and where it went and to whom it helped (We'd all like to know too, by the way, so we can give each other computer high fives, or real ones if you know a fellow ticklephile..) "Well, the models won't do it for free!..." Well, don't ask them! If they say "No," move on to someone else. RealTickling has listed on their website 19 models, and I'm sure could find more. If they all say no, ask that pretty girl you know who wants to help who will do it for free. Hell, Kathy from RealTickling looks very beautiful herself, I'm sure people would pay to see her in any video. That's truth, not flattery 🙂 But I mean, just ask, all they can say is no. They may say yes. A lot of independant films are done this way. The actors do it for free, and if the film makes money, they get paid. If it doesn't they can still use it on a resume. Now, that's film for profit. Many people will do religious or charity video for free, act in them, direct them, write them, etc. They feel good about it, as they should, and it looks great on a resume, charity on tax returns, etc. I know we live in a cynical world, but one, many may say yes who otherwise you THINK would say no, and you may only get two or three yes answers, but that's all you need.
