It's amazing to Me how people think so little goes into filming a halfway quality clip.


It's great to hear from a relatively new-to-the-field BDSM video producer who cares about technical quality. I went through my video phase when Leda/Nu-West was the standard to beat for content, but the quality of the video, audio, and editing was dreadful. But in those days, $3,000 bought a couple of tape-based camcorders and a table lamp. And their earlier productions were shot on 8mm film and transferred to video with a camera pointed to a screen rather than a real film chain.

I suspect that there's still a market for the 5 minute one-take videos shot with a phone and put up on Clips4$ale for five bucks. Hopefully, there's also a market for a well shot and produced video as well. If I was still buying videos, that's what I'd go for.

Got any good OTK F/M spankings in your catalog yet?
