The Last Laugh is back with "Last Laugh Isa 1" (foot tickling, FF/F)

[SJTickle]

Glad to see that you're back with a new camera! Love your videos and the horizontal stocks are awesome! The best sole shots.

Thanks for posting

 

[The Last Laugh]

Thank you everyone, I appreciate it. I don't know how successful the new clip will be, or the other clips I've yet to release for that matter (the competition really does seems tougher than even nowadays, with a number of excellent producers dominating the market), but your kind works are very encouraging.

reading what you have written here makes me sigh and think, "Thank goodness, I am not alone". Getting to grips with the software can be a pain especially if you have the dayjob, family and other social engagements. It can be quite a juggling act.

Indeed. I could have learned the new software a long time ago, but after a long day at my full-time job, sitting down and learning new software and new ways of doing things after having been used to the same system for 8-9 years was the last thing I felt like doing. Especially since I don't think I'll be doing this for that much longer anyway (I don't know, maybe another couple of years?) So I put it off again and again and again for nearly a year. I'm glad I finally kicked myself in the ass hard enough to figure it out. Which is not to say that I'm very good at it, but at least I'm functional. It's about time too, because it was getting ridiculous how I was doing shoot after shoot without even knowing how I was going to edit the footage. I mean, I wasn't even 100% sure my computer could handle HD footage. Not very wise of me. But it turned out alright in the end. At least I think so.

Of course, even now that I have a good idea how to produce the raw material I've accumulated, working on it still is far from the first thing I feel like doing after a long day's work. So it might take quite a while before I can process it all. Considering I have enough for at least 15 more series (say about 5 clips per series on average) I get the feeling it's going to take me well over a year to release all of it. Maybe even two, who knows. I'm afraid I've never been a very prolific producer.

Awesome clip! You do some of the best vids out there in my opinion, no gimmicks or rubbish, just cute girls having tickling fun 🙂

 

[tkfan74]

Love all your clips. I'm glad that you decided to stay and make more clips. Your clips are always welcome, even, in the tickling fetish world. You bring your own style. We love that.
I especially love the girls tickling with their toes.
Keep up the great work.

I for one really don't care if a video is HD or not. If HD is available I go for it, but have never avoided buying a video because it wasn't HD.

I'm glad to heat it. I wish I knew what percentage of people that feel like you. I'd love to be able to stick to the 852x480 format.

I sold a certain number of copies of the new clip (nothing very impressive, but it's only been available for a couple of days) and as far as format is concerned the sales are split pretty much 50/50. Actually, I think the 852x480 format sold one copy more so far. Interesting. I wonder if the people who bought it did so voluntarily (like to make sure it plays well on their computer) or if they didn't notice the difference and bought the smaller format randomly.

Any chance of more foot videos? Loved all of the sock removal/toe wiggling foot shows, those were awesome!

I'm glad you enjoy my foot video work. Unfortunately, I'm sorry to say I don't have any plans to make more foot videos (aside from foot tickling). The foot fetish market may be a lot bigger than the tickling one, but somehow I have more trouble getting noticed with my foot stuff than with my tickling stuff. I studied my sales statistics and realized that very few of the foot clips I've released over the last few years have made any significant profits. Most are commercial failures. Not to say that all my tickling clips pay for themselves, but they do tend to do better.

I might do a foot scene here and there, like to get a little bonus out of a tickler who isn't ticklish but happens to have very nice feet. Or maybe if the models are especially cooperative and patient and don't mind hanging around for a foot scene even after doing several tickling scenes. But I don't want to ask too much of the models. Personally I wouldn't mind working 12 hours on a shoot to get all the footage I want and to make sure everything is just right. But obviously I have to think of the models. If a shoot takes too long they can get tired and/or impatient. And while the salary I pay them is reasonable enough, it's not a fortune. A shoot can only last for so long. Since I know my tickling clips sell better, I prefer to get as much tickling footage as I can during the limited time I have for a shoot. To get foot material on top of that I'd have to pay the models extra, and I can't afford that. In fact, if the sales of my latest clip are any indication, I won't be able to increase the amount I pay models, like I was hoping.

Anyway, I'm sorry if this is disappointing news to you, but I'm afraid producing foot clips really isn't worth it for me anymore.

Fantastic to have you back in the game, and a fascinating insight into your trials and tribulations (and a must-read for the clip industry wannabes - that's a non-glamorous side you won't read about often.)

It means a lot to me that you enjoyed that part. In the thread I posted on the Tickler Theater I got blasted by someone not because he didn't like the preview clip but because he thought I talked too much. I was just trying to provide interested people with more context. Maybe he was actually referring to my clip descriptions, but that still doesn't make any sense to me. Why complain about more information? Why not just avoid reading it if not interested?

I have always been a fan of your videos, My favorites were MU and NU and UPSILON

Thank you. It's really too bad I had to remove Last Laugh Nu from my catalog. Not only were the models rather neat, it also left a gap in the Greek alphabet theme of my old video titles.

Why'd you have to remove it, out of curiosity?

Why'd you have to remove it, out of curiosity?

A few years after the shoot they called me to tell me they weren't comfortable with their video being for sale anymore and asked me to remove it. I can understand that. Legally I didn't have to, but I don't want the models I work with to be unhappy, so I answered that I'd be willing to do it as long as they paid back the money I paid them. They agreed. Unfortunately, when we met to take care of it they suddenly decided to pay back only half, breaking our agreement. They also served me some BS like they were young and naive when they accepted to do the shoot, trying to guilt me into giving them a break. They were over 18 when we did the shoot, so supposedly they were old enough to make a decision by themselves. I also always go to great lengths to make sure the models understand everything about my project, what the videos are for and how they're distributed so they can make an informed decision. But no, apparently I was to blame for their mistake. Their argument for paying only half back was that they didn't have much money (boo hoo) and that I had made money from selling the video. Well, duh! That was the arrangement. We signed a release saying that. Their change of mind doesn't change that.

I could easily have refused and told them to get in touch with my lawyer (it seems they themselves talked to a lawyer about this, sheesh!), and I told them so. I had my own copies of the signed releases, after all. But quite frankly I really didn't want to make a fuss, so I let it go. If that makes me a pushover to some people, then so be it. In any case it was a frustrating experience, especially with them trying to make me the bad guy. I was perfectly willing to remove the video. There was no need to get nasty about it.

Of course, this doesn't happen most of the time. I've only had to remove two foot shoots (no tickling ones, thank god) from my catalog at the request of two other models, and they were a lot more reasonable and understanding about it.

good to see you back

i really like your videos

look forward to seeing your new work

 

[SirDigbyChickenCaesar]

I very rarely post on here, but I'm quite glad to see you back in action. I've always been a fan of the more "amateur" style of your videos, as they're still very well done and provide a nice contrast to the more professional videos coming out of the most popular studios these days. In many ways you are to the tickling video world what retro gaming is to the video games world, and I wouldn't have it any other way.

GReat stuff ... great to see you again ... the slender brunette is hot !

 

[texastickler]

You site was one of the first I ever visited. You have always done quality work and I for one am glad you are back.
