Producers, who were some of your favorite models to work with?

[mabus]

To all the producers out there - who were some of your favorite models to work with, and why?

Lots of times tickle producers get criticism for working with some models, or not working with more ticklish models, but I wonder what THEIR perspective is?

My question has always been, if you have an awesome model who people talk about forever, and work with other, "lackluster" models...why shoot so many
videos of the not so ticklish one?

You get your Avril, or Rachelle, or Kristen or Savannah, and you want to sign that 10 year contract with them!

But as someone who has also shot video, some people are absolute joys to work with, and others, not so much.

Or, the model may have been great, but just had no chemistry with the producer, where the one you may not care for just had a blast and was
easy to work with. Or, maybe they find certain models sexy as all hell, and the ones we think are hot, ain't that hot when you actually work with them.

So many variables and variations.

I've always wondered what was their perspective....

"Jacky" was a unique experience. She originally found out about the videos while eavesdropping on the IMs of a friend of hers I was trying to get involved (who ultimately did not go through with it) and pretty much volunteered herself for a shoot. I jumped at the chance and was surprised at how cool she was with me, who she had never met before this, to showing up at her house (she ended up living less than 10 minutes away) and tying her down to her bed. She was completely obliviousness to tickling or a tickling fetish, so the entire thing was a new experience to her and she asked a ton of questions. Her light personality made everything super chill, and her reactions to the tickling were great as well. She held nothing back and had no hesitations in letting me break out whatever tools or positions I wanted (again, a total stranger who she only knew of through a friend, and through Facebook messages). The end result ended up being a series of some of my most popular videos. She had a blast and was incredibly eager to do more, but a combination of her moving around the state a lot, before ultimately marrying a new boyfriend effectively put the kibosh on any future shoots. That one afternoon we had was a huge high point for me and how long I've been shooting videos, though.

This is so true. The variables and such.

With less than a handfull of exceptions, all of my shoots were a lot of fun. Basically, any model I shot with more than once was a fav, apart from 1 or 2 whose sales surprised me, so I kept booking them. There are quite a number of one off models where we both had a blast, but they moved away or had unreliable communication, etc.

Nyx, Amara, Leila, Torry, Santiago, Sadie, Scarlett Storm and Ria were all favorites.

The absolute most favoritest of the favorites though would be:
Kendra - obviously. She's one of those people that are the reason tickling even exists!
Tya - She always had a look like she was getting away with something, while she got tickled lol
Imani Rose - One who always thought she could take more than she actually could!
Edyn - Pure, unadulterated fun
Rocio - Of all the models I worked with who honestly enjoyed being tickled, I think she very well may enjoy it the most - though it didn't actually start out that way.

There were plenty of other great models I had great shoots with, but I'd rank these as the favs. Suffice to say I probably should have 30-40% more material with all of them, but we'd be having so much fun conversing or joking around, sometimes I'd forget I was actually supposed to be working!

And the answer is, the bulk of the people here don't know how the shooting process works.

When a producer works with a model, they almost always book her for an hour or three, and shoot a lot of footage which is then later divvied up into clips and released over a period of time. This gives everyone the impression that the model "keeps coming back" when, in reality, she was a one-and-done and the producer hasn't heard from her in six months.

So it's entirely possible that that "awesome model" only shot a handful of clips for the producer and then they didn't sell well enough to justify a followup shoot. The "lackluster" one flew off the shelves, or maybe she was cheaper to hire and therefore he got more out of her.

The bottom line is that every producer thinks that every model that they work with will sell. I had a private session with "Bad-Ass" Becky Berardi a few months ago; if anyone knows this market, it's her. We got to chatting about the industry during the initial meet-and-greet and she had this to say;

"Sometimes we work with a girl that we think is going to be amazing, and she won't sell a single video. You just can't tell."
