(DRAMA) As promised, time to name names...
Well, three of the companies/individuals have made good on what they owed me, after my last GFY post.
The other three have not. None of these have been huge money issues, as you'll see - the biggest single one (that was settled) was just under $1K. The three unsettled ones only total about $1K. But if more people (after being fair and giving someone more than enough time to make good) posted warnings - it would go a long way toward cleaning things up at least a little bit in our biz. Here goes. 1. VideoGregg - i know, i know - i've had problems in the past too. but he hired someone to handle his marketing and other "stuff" so i took a chance and bought $100 worth of content, with 2257 docs promised (this time, as opposed to when they weren't provided 2 years ago). So after 2 years, I tried again. Guess what. The "content with 2257 docs" has no docs, some don't even have IDs - they're apparently lost somewhere in Gregg's house. After giving them a couple of weeks to "find the docs" I asked for a refund via the same online mechanism I paid through. I paid within 3 mins of cutting a deal. But for several weeks there repeatedly "hasn't been money in that account to make the refund. I'm expecting a payment into it today or tomorrow and you'll get your money immediately." You're supposedly a decent-sized shooter/company who's been around for years, and you can't make a lousy $100 refund? Geez. 2. Chrome (Carl Geers) - posts on GFY boasting about the hot girls he's shooting and his magazine shoots. Tells me he has lots of girls lined up and wants to shoot - I spend *three months* (his timetable, not mine) going through all the parameters, test shoots, etc - a number of times. Finally schedules a shoot in January, and we agree that as soon as I see the material he'll get a check (I've operated that way with a number of shooters for years.) He sends me sample photos during the shoot so I can approve/give him tips on lighting. Then says they're halfway through the shoot, but he needs $500 immediately to *finish* the shoot because he has to give the girl the money he's using to pay his bills the next day. I send it immediately. And then I hear *nothing.* He's supposedly finished the photo part of the shoot - I don't even get the photos. Won't answer icq for more than a week. "The model flaked." What happened to the photos? They never arrive. And for the next two months, every time I ask him for a status report, it's "flaky girls - but I've found another one, here's her photo, what do you think?" After going through that several more times, I ask for my money back in March. Instead I keep getting more pics of hot girls he's going to shoot for me, followed by a disapperance of several weeks. Last time I've heard from him was mid-April, now I'm just being ignored. Dude, if you're so strung out you have to play me for $500, have the balls to at least say "I fucked up." Don't ignore me. 3. This one I'll just mention briefly because I've mentioned it in another thread - it's the infamous Red Sexy Studios/Star 69 - after they sent me one bad scene (out of about six) they said they'd reshoot it for me. The bad scene was shot in December, they promised in January a reshoot. A month later when I asked, they said within 1-2 weeks. It's been the same story ever since, even though I told them that I *wanted to spend more money with them* once the re-shoot was done. Guess they're too busy posting on GFY looking for new business to take care of what they promised, even if meant more business. I know I'm going to get lots of "too long to read" or "you got burned for $1K from three different people, that's part of doing business" or "what did you expect dealing with those people" comments - fire away. But hopefully this will help some others who are looking to buy content. And thanks to the others (who will not be named) who made good on things after my original post. |

Actually, believe it or not, the experience with them was fine, especially since my stuff is tougher than most to shoot - until it came down to this issue.

Carl Geers fucked you over huh?
Well, I'm not surprised. Carl is a kick ass photographer but he doesn't know fuck all about how business works. His models never make money...Not because they are not hot...but because Carl tells them they will make percentages of the shoots and when it comes down to it.....50% of shit money = shittier money. So now he's telling you that he is paying his model? Which model was it? |

And you might want to give them a break rather than have them smoke for 15 minutes straight - I assume you pay them for more than 15 minutes work ;-) |

well, it's a very different niche, with members who want to see very specific stuff, so shooting it is different than point-and-shoot (not to demean the people who are great shooters, just saying this takes more time initially to figure out the lighting and the angles, and limits the model pool you can use - and not everyone wants smoking in their studio). That means not everyone wants to shoot it...and that means i usually have to deal with whoever comes along and wants to try it. I've had some luck over the years, but also a lot of problems.
It'd be ten times easier if I was just looking for someone to shoot a BJ scene ![]() |

and part of it is bad luck - i would not have expected three different content brokers to promise all 2257 docs with material they sold me - and find after paying them that all three didn't even have their OWN copies of the docs

I'm normally all over a thread like this offering my services, but cig smoke makes me ill and I won't even be in the same house or studio with someone smoking, much less in the same room!

And what I expect from all of them, large or small, broker or shooter, is the same respect and honesty that I give them. Some times I think too many people in this business expect less...so they get it. |

That's why most people who try to shoot smoking fetish without understanding it, fail.
If you were shooting content for an insertions site, would you tell the model "oh, if you don't want to actually fuck it, that's fine - just stay around the *outside area* of the pussy - no one will know if you actually put it in or not." |
