The survey to establish interest in movies had about 200 unique hits during its first week, which isn't bad. It looks like it might be worth trying this, and as you have probably noticed, I'm working on engaging a few models to star in the movies. It will probably take a bit of time - established models like to work in studios and request a lot of money. Studios are out as far as I'm concerned since it means bringing too many people into the mix, not to mention paying the studio as well, if they'd even let me film this kind of stuff. That's when we get into serious overheads and the cost of the movies would sky-rocket. I don't believe in using middle men if i can help it, so I'm going for the "on location" type of filming. Whether or not any models will agree to that, I don't know.
One of you did point me towards a couple of established models. I approached them both, but no commitment yet. I'm not holding my breath, however. All the same, many thanks for offering the suggestion. If anyone else knows of freelance models who want to earn some cash, please let me know. Locating them is the tough part. Modeling agencies are certainly not going to be of any help! Besides, I think amateur models are more likely to answer our needs, and with some coaching I hope they will be able to do what is required for the movies. I'll let you know if and when we have a firm filming schedule.
At this stage, I can't really tell how expensive production is going to be, so the actual price of sale of each movie willhave to be governed by that. I'll do my best not to make it expensive though.
If we do make some movies, we shall then have to choose between selling them individually and setting up part of the site up as a monthly subscription area for access to all movies. The latter might be better in terms of a steady income to keep the production going, but that would also mean a commitment to making regular movies, and that isn't certain yet. Let's play it by ear.
If anyone has suggestions to make, I shall be pleased to receive them.
Thanks,
Dave.
