Well, time to bring you up to date on the Bluestone empire... where it's been... where it's going... and things you probably didn't know about it!
As you know, I have been editing the archives of crime videos filmed over the years featuring beauties such as Suzi, Petra, Kerie, Lena, and many many more from the Bluestone harem! I had about 300 in the vault at one time, not because I was not happy with them, but because of the sheer volume of the number of videos that I was shooting between 2005 and 2015... The Bluestone Decade... where I always shot more than I could possibly edit during that decade! My last Bluestone crime video shoot was with Petra, Kerie, Lena and others in September 2015... over 5 years ago! That's why these girls never appear to age.
Well, I have finally edited the full archive from the vault, and the last one will be released in late December 2020 or Early January 2021. I had then planned to retire from this business. I gave my loyal crew advance notice and set a date that new productions would cease... but that date was December 31, 2019, over a year ago. What happened?
As most of you know, during The Bluestone Decade, I personally shot most of my videos either in Canada or in the States! Also, during that time I entered into a production partnership with UKSG and with them assembled a full cast, crew and creative team to film more upscale videos, released under the Superheroine and Spy genres. When UKSG ceased full-time filming, I went it alone, building on what had been started, filming now in the UK as well as Canada with full cast and crew... and these upscale productions were a resounding success!
Now, as to what happened, well since I have been doing this business as a hobby, not making any profit, I figured that when I planned to retire from my day job that I wouldn't be able to support these upscale productions any longer. So, the plan was to cease the new upscale productions at the end of 2019, and roll out the balance of my crime videos until they were all released. Then, perhaps I would at least have an income stream in retirement from this huge catalogue of videos, now well over 1,000 videos. What changed this retirement plan? Well, firstly, I finally came very close to breaking even... and secondly, I came up with a new concept that I hoped would allow us to continue production.
Thus, "Scotland Yard Cold Cases" was born. It was an experiment to see if we could produce shorter and less expensive videos, like our "Silk 'N Blood" series, but with full cast and crew. If we could, these could pay for themselves quicker and supplement the more expensive Superheroine and Spy productions. Well, after having released the first dozen "Scotland Yard Cold Cases" episodes, we are pleased to report that Bluestone Video Productions will continue to operate and film new material for the foreseeable future, or as long as sales support these upscale productions.
Just thought I'd share, and I would also be very interested in your thoughts and comments on the above announcement.
