very true. Which is why I said a while ago that my content isn't good enough for todays market. Some thought I was talking only about my content, not that it applied to most content.
Our main market were the teen magazines. Which it seems so few could get into, even though it seems anyone can shoot this content.
They wanted us to find brand new or undershot girls for their mags. They didn't want fancy innovative work. They liked our styles of this kind or the more amateur style we shot on location. Should we shoot more elaborate with more experienced girls when it pays the same?
However with only a couple of handful of magazine publishers and max 30 mags we sold to we were fine. We didn't need to get too innovative.
Now compare that to online teen sites. 30 0r 300 or 3,000 or 30,000?
You can't compare a market with 30 outlets worth selling to and one with 1,000s.
How many times does a surfer hit a teen site and say to himself.
Nice pics and vids, but the same old same old stuff I've seen 1,000s of times before? It's just another girl on another sofa going through the same act.
With the scene I shot for Manwin everyone ignored what I was doing. They didn't cut it as they should of though. However I shot it so the real girl shone through, the next girl I would of shot, if working, I would of shot the same way and made her real personality shone through. And the next one again the same way. This way even though it's still a girl on a sofa type content, the setting, sofa and lack of rose, the girl makes every scene hers.
Cheap yet effective way of making a site more interesting, better conversions and retention. Extra cost, little though you can't shoot 5 scenes a day with a guy who can only point a camera and has the lights.
This style was exactly how I shot
Astral Blue ended up with a catalog of 300 1 hour videos and every girl doing it here way. Could write a book on this.
