Just today I was showing my DVD distributor some female pics I wanted to use as a box cover for my next movie.
They did not conform to the "typical" LA box cover "shot" and I was told "you need to look at the guys selling big numbers and copy those poses, your poses are just not box covers. There is a certain look that needs to be on a cover."
I fell out of my seat. To actually be told to copy someone else and NOT be creative, wow. Of course I will do just the opposite of what they say because that is what I feel needs to be done.
In no way was my photos "new" but they were different from US poses and was more along the lines of hip Japanese poses with the feet coming at ya.
And the DVD industry wonders why sales are going down, down, down. It's because everyone copies everyone, just like we do online, and a new idea gets bent down like a protruding nail.
