Exclusivity or not.

[JaneyD]

Quick question to which I need your opinions!

I've noticed some tickle-models appear in several tickle-productions (Correct me if I'm wrong here). Now does it matter as to which production they are cast in? or the more the better?

Furthermore, which production/s would you like or did you find your favorite tickle-model?

Your curious cat,

No exclusivity! A model is not owned by the producer. But I know that there have actually been fights about stuff like that, not only between tickling producers, but also between regular photographers. "If you shoot with this guy, I won't shoot with you anymore!" Pathetic!

Welcome back!

I think a model should take assignments that suit her or him and not be limited to one producer.

As a viewer, I like nonexclusivity. If a model is a great lee for one producer, seeing her tickled by someone else means different chemistry, so I could get both clips. If the same model is tickled twice by the same person, I’m much less likely to buy both clips.

But I would not fault a producer from making the business decision, that the model agrees not to go with any other producer for a specified period. The producer pays the model a fixed amount, and needs to sell a certain number of clips to cover that cost and then make money. If the producer thinks that the model doing clips with another producer the next day will cut into sales, I can’t say that’s wrong. People make those kinds of agreements in the business world all the time.

I think exclusivity seems fair. But one would expect the model to be paid correspondingly more and get correspondingly more work from the production company that requires exclusivity. Exclusivity should benefit both parties.

The more the better, and my favorite is Brooke of TICKLE ABUSE

Of course, JaneyD , so many fetching, wonderfully-ticklish lasses/devilish lady ticklers put themselves out there for our viewing pleasure, it tempts me to list the many, many other models who excite me. But I'll limit it to just one, and only because Brke is not working as often as she used to, and that's woman-child Jade, also of Tickle Abuse though I understand she models elsewhere.

Brooke and Jade are my favorites because:

They work often, and hard-working girls impress me (Okay, Brooke cut back but has made dozens of videos)
They're primarily dominant ticklers, and as a viewer f/ tickling interests me most (the victim's gender not as significant) and Brooke and Jade are great at putting a ticklee through hell
But they also don the restraints and get tickled frequently enough, giving this dominant tickler a reason to fantasize about them
They're beautiful and not afraid to dress provocatively if not do a video topless or completely nude
Also regarding appearance, Brooke and Jade are competitive; rather than let a video playmate who foxes herself up/strips down get all the attention, they will use as much make-up and wear/not wear attire to match
Either they were quick studies or were into tickling long before the knocked on the door for their first Tickle Abuse video, judging from the energy they take to each titlle

Exclusivity should benefit both parties.

As a model? Not really! Remember that models usually don't work in this business very long (unless they are REAL models, I mean the top-paying elites). So while a model does it, she might as well take as many shoots as she can. It would be a big mistake to limit herself to one producer.

 

[the tickleshow]

I have never considered making a model exclusive. Most of the models I have worked with have continued working with me, but it wasn't due to any pressure from me. A handful, like Addie Juniper and Lauri Adverb had already been in other videos, while others, like Haley & Ivy worked in other producers.
Also, I have never considered The TickleShow a "major" production company, so why would I even consider keeping a model down?

 

[ReyaFet]

Right, TickleShow. And what producer can provide a single model with THAT much work to keep her satisfied with being exclusive? What would be the benefit? As a producer, I like to shoot with different models all the time. It keeps things fun and fresh. As a model, shooting with different producers is also fun!

 

[JaneyD]

Oooh...

Well Tickleshow and AddieJuniper, nice points and I agree to letting the model branch out. But aren't there cases like say Brooke as Em E's said, "Brooke of Tickle Abuse", Brooke is synonymous to TickleAbuse I'd assume, so If you are a fan of Brooke, there is no where else to go but Tickle Abuse. So I guess that Brooke's exclusivity to TickleAbuse benefits both model and production.

... comments?

and reminder, exclusivity in this context would only pertain to tickle-shoots/projects.

 

[the tickleshow]

If a model wants to work exclusively with one producer, that is her right. Making her do that is a different story. It can be beneficial, but I'm sure there are some who may think of what it would be like if Brooke were tickled by, say UK Tickling or someone like that. I'm sure if one particular model is very popular, a producer may want to keep working with her, but unless the model herself wants to be exclusive to me, like Nora is, then I don't ever expect it.
