Models and payment

[FootGuyNC]

But see do they consider this modeling? That's what I've always wondered. I'm not in the business or do what you do, but *logically* it seems like the real models would not do it or else wind up like Sarah Kozer. Its not even remotely like porn where they're sucking guys' nick nacks five times a day, but its stills something they would be embarrassed explaining if they got famous and it came out.

But what do I know? lol Again, it seems logical, but may not be even close to the truth.

On the other hand, I'd love to see you do that magic clip I showed you ages ago. All you'd need is a cardboard box and time to edit the clip.

It very much depends on one's approach and the feeling of comfort the producer creates for the model. Lot of psychological underpinnings to that statement and I wouldn't even want to touch the tip of that iceberg, but trust me when I say the "logic" for real models can easily be thrown right out the window when there is the correct "resource" and "justification" for her services.

Those are two very important things in this game as I have learned in my years of experience as a producer... there many counter-intuitive concepts that I would've never imagined before I stumbling upon them either. The smallest details like subtle word choices can make a tremendous impact.

I consider my specialty nowadays to be my ability to be able to justify to an upscale classy woman why she should model her feet. My problem has always been (and now more than ever) the ability to pull the resource that is also needed as part of that success equation. I therefore have been targetting (for quite some time) women who require less resources for me to make it happen.

I'm slowly getting thru scripts. Notice how I got the fortune teller one down some months back. I always like to do the short easy ones

May need a refresher on the magic idea cuz I have a lot of great script ideas in the queue.

On the footsniffing.com site, I sent you a vid someone made a while ago. They took a vid you did, and digitally edited out the upper half of the woman. The effect was to make it appear you sawed her in half and decided to have her way with her disembodied lower half.

You could probably do something similar in real life, just with a cardboard box and editing.

oh yeah, i definitely do remember that one

probably would take more editing that i would initially think.

Reorganizing scenes to make it appear she's in two, but yeah. Always been a dream of mine if *I* ever become a producer, but that's not likely to happen.

possible that the cardboard might not even be needed.

the guy you showed me (who modified my original clip) was able to do it w/o cardboard. it's just that i have no idea what kind of editor he used, so i know it is possible to do it with the right tools

you should give a shot -- you've had nothing but great ideas from what I've seen.

all it takes is time (and perhaps some resources). since you have a true passion for it, i say to not let your heart have regrets down the line.

would be great to see just a dedicated footsniffing producer for a change too (one that doesn't succumb to fiscal pressures) like this new producer right here:

Oh, it wouldn't be *needed*, exactly, but the way I'm imagining it in my head, it would make it easier come editing time. The implied scenario is that the magician (you) sawed the woman in half, then ran off with her legs sans the box to "have your way" so to speak. I'm saying do the scenario, magician saws a woman in half, only you'd switch back in forth between filming the upper half and the lower half. You may have to flip one or the other in editor to make it appear she's actually in two.

Essentially, say its a total of 5 minutes long...1st minute filmed is the sawing, then 2 minutes nothing but upper body, then finally 2 minutes nothing but lower body. Three seperate .wmvs that you'd have to add together in Windows Movie Maker (or the editor of your choice). One of the 2 minute clips, upper or lower, doesn't matter, has to be flipped from left to right. The only complicated part is intercutting it. It can't be back to back, it has to be one inserted into the other at intervals to make the illusion seem somewhat real.

Keeping the sound in synch...now THAT's the confusing part.

But otherwise, yeah, either that or find that editing program. I'm positive that dude, whoever he was, used that really expensive version that they sell at colleges...can't think of the name for it for some reason. It usually goes for $500. Not Vegas, but they're like the direct competitor to what I'm thinking about.

you should give a shot -- you've had nothing but great ideas from what I've seen.

Thanks. I'd love to do a whole series of them with different models and senarios if I could.

Nice site. I hate footjobs or any other weiner but my own in the shot, but it gives me hope.
