We always over book becuase at least every other shoot we will get a noshow etc or a girl that cant cut the grade. Our smut takes a special kind of girl that can take a real spanking, so we found that full disclosure and lots of communication works best. We confirm at least 3 times and always give access for them look at the kind of content we shoot in both video and image. That weeds out the good from the bad. We have also spent alot of bling on flying models into the EU from the states for video shoots. It was high risk cause of the cost involved but we made sure as much as we could regarding everypoint of the contract / shoot / and the model. even after that we had 2 out of the last 6 models who were utterly shite. But just had to bite the bulletin and cover the loss. And yep we still did some takes with the bad ones and banked the content to at least try n cover their costs at some future date.
Finally for the shoot we have 4 cameras across 2 crews and 2 photographers whenever we can. We try and shoot every single minute we can when on location. Time is money and the girls do work their ass of ... but then the model fee is good. Im never happy unless we get 6 hours of video and at least 5000 pics per day shooting. My 10 cents --- now im of to play poker.
