Never remembered him and some of his comments made me think he was making it up. We don't live in a cottage, it was built in 2000, 3 bedroom house, it's not surrounded by fields as you can see from the photos we posted, it is out of the city on the outskirts of a village, got orchards near and ir was facing the river when he came, they built opposite us since then. The studio was than 2,000 sq ft so not small. The comments about where it was he showed were online already by another interview I did. He met the staff in the office, so could see we weren't a small operation, had 8 people employed then, including the Nanny at home so Eva could work.
Eva's main job was shooting sets and doing the company accounts. The idea I was going to take her away from a lucrative shooting roll and a very vital accounting roll, to shoot cheap sets is stupid.
The land we shot the scene on is public land, so no one can throw us off, shot their lots of times. Don't even take people to our home. It's our home ad for friends only. And if we want to impress them, don't give them a pasta dinner.
Still you understand the operation we had, being close to content production. The idea that I was chasing "not expensive" custom work that would mean 2 of our crew taken away from the main business is ludicrous. It would of lost us money.
The idea we were broke is a stupid lie. Set number
1737 and video 9296. We shot until set number 902482 on a pretty steady basis. 745 sets. not the mass churned out stuff Squealer was looking for, we shot magazine sets and at 2 a day and rarely more than 2 a week. 745 is 372 days work, 186 weeks, 3.5 years. So for a company going broke something seems wrong. You know we were never chasing custom work, simply not viable for us to tie up our teem, equipment, staff and time with it.
We never even did what Max did and got in some cheap teams to shoot. Still too much time and would mean new equipment and locations. At $300 a scene, what would you choose if you had a market paying $3,000 a set?
No if he put this deal to me in the coffee shop common sense and logic says a guy like me would leave him in the coffee shop. I'm known for blunt speaking, in fact he says so. Would never of entertained him for the day.
Is it legal to have web cam studios in Russia, but not shoot solo girl sets of them? Will ask my friends who work in Russia.
So as I said I never remembered him, his story seemed bullshit and has got worse. So I said he was never here. Mistake I admitted to and explained.
I read so much bullshit here I jump there first. So a lot of his story is bullshit and I jumped wrong.
The proof of the pudding is in any of the trolls coming up with an offer for a gold mine of bankable content. Or is that just more GFY bullshit?
Prove me wrong guys.
