Thx for the review.
And how many scenes do you want for $2,000?

And do you expect the shooter to pay all costs of the shoot out of the $2,000?

*****************************************

For a shooter to improve it's essential he edits his own work. Dropping the entire shoot into a Fed Ex package teaches him nothing. Accepting sloppy work teaches him sloppy work is acceptable.

I was very lucky that from very early on Magazine Editors saw I had a talent of some sort and were willing to help me. They laid out magazines and showed me the spread of shots they required, told me about the different poses and how to shoot a set in a progression. To give them the best possible chance of buying it.

They also showed me the amateur work submitted and pointed out the problems with using it. Problems I see in the sets on Mofos.

I learned not to shoot a girl hiding her pussy while doing a "Pink", not to shoot shot after shot of the same picture. To move the model around, not to shoot into or in front of the sun. And developed my out of date style.

Editing my videos I learned to make sure the model didn't make big clattering noises, to get the mike off the camera, to capture the girls face when she talks or climaxes. And not to reduce a porn scene down to a genitalia movie.

I made all the mistakes possible. By editing my own work I was able to spot them and not make them again.

Manwin's shooters don't have that, in fact I doubt if they get any feedback at all from the editors. They just churn out cheap work, cheap to my thinking, so at the end of the week they have a fair income.

Does this matter?

Well only a fool would say not. It matters with retention and even conversion. Which hurts everyone involved incomes.

By producing content without these basic mistakes the member is more likely to stay a little longer, more likely to rejoin when he see new content promoting the site, more likely to return to the site for another session of membership. Less likely to cancel and never return.

This all sounds fine to me but I'm a little confused about the t-shirts... of which website, exactly, will you and the model be wearing t-shirts?
A Paul Markham Teens T Shirt.



I will keep my pants on.
