Visceral Black.... sexy ASFR fan-supported series
Posted: Mon Feb 23, 2009 8:41 am
Hi all,
most of you know I've been into robot movies for some time now and am here in Japan pursuing that further via my regular work.
But I've also had my eye on this site regarding how viable the custom video market is and to that end have been reading about what everyone likes and dislikes, along with a lot of the stories everyone has written.
I'm in a fairly unique place, in that robotics and the sexual fetish thereof is fairly developed here, even if it is a bit culturally centric at times.
My aim with Visceral Black is to blend the mainstream robot material I've been developing with a healthy dose of adult fantasy. Think Black Label Penthouse for inspiration. I know from my own desires that good fantasy is infinitely preferable to simple pr0n, though both have their place! But like you I've found that my fantasies lie outside of what Joe Average thinks is sexy, so I'm taking it upon myself to create those fantasies for the rest of you, using the equipment and talents I have available to me through my regular job as a film director.
Since my time is limited and I want to provide you with the best quality ASFR you've ever seen (both technically and artistically), I will need to make this financially viable. What I plan to make won't be a $500 custom video shot on handycam. I have three Red One digital cinema cameras, fully loaded with accessories that I use in my regular day job. This is the same camera Hollywood is using on major blockbusters. These ASFR movies will LOOK like Hollywood movies. I intend the SFX to match as well as the quality of the acting. That means I need to pay people for their skills and work. I'm not talking million dollar budgets by any means, but reasonable recompense in order to make it sustainable and keep the good stuff coming month after month.
Right now I want to hear from you in this thread.
I'm envisioning (in broad strokes) budgets of between $5,000-10,000 per movie, distributed to those who have paid on Blu-ray or DVD as requested, with various ideas on profit sharing acceptable for custom jobs etc. Can I generate this kind of money from this community? I don't know so I'm asking you to help me figure it out.
I'd like to make a short demo of the style and quality you can expect but this may take some time initially.
For nudity I will also be paying the actors a proper wage commensurate with what they will be doing, because again I want this to be sustainable and not a flash-in-the-pan.
But this is early days - your posts here will help flesh out the best way forward and give me a good idea of what direction to go in.
I've registered a website to be the hub for all this:
http://www.visceralblack.com
There's just a front page there at present but I hope to get some content up shortly.
So, pour forth and let me know your thoughts! I look forward to reading all your replies.
