Another few questions, and please answer these with honesty. Do you follow the story, dose this matter to you, do you watch all of the video or just speed it up to the fetish bits that interest you, have you brought all of the White Angel series, would you like to see a White Angel win in an episode, would you like to see more girl on girl action, do you like Mr Green's performance as agent X, do you think we should have other girls playing white angels other than Danica, do you buy our super heroine videos, are you a death fetish kind of guy, a super heroine fan or both, what are we doing wrong, do you buy only with topless, does what we do, i.e. making sure it edits together, CGI, lighting, grading making it look like a TV show matter to the over all feel of what you're looking for or does it not matter as long as you get your fix?
And this question I've been thinking about for a long time: Do you think we should shoot a particular fetish in a video from a request of a fan a month. I.E. Every month we ask what you want to see in an White Angel episode, fetish wise, and we pick someone at random and make their fetish part of the story, shooting as close to what they want to see. Of cause that would be subject to budget i.e if you want to see an ep with an elaborate batman trap that involves a huge machine, nah we can't do that, rape and nudity we don't do nor can we make actress' who don't do topless do topless. Other than that it's open season. :-)
I know its a lot to answer, but as I've said your answer may help us shoot hopeful what you want to see.
Thanks, in advance, for taking the time out in answering the questions for us. :-)
And please do talk about us on other forums, the more fan we can bring to the table the more video we can shoot for you. Have a good day and remember people it's all harmless fantasy.
Answers to the above inquiry:
First off let me say this, I don't consider myself a 'fetish' guy when it comes to this stuff. Not knocking anyone who is mind you, it's just some guys want very specific things. you can see it in their comments and posts and if a vid doesn't have their particular fetish then they don't want it. but they also have lower standards due to the specifics they want. I look for content I like but I am open to a lot of different elements and types of content. I look to bluestone vids for the rougher (ie. death elements) of these sorts of vids. Most important to me is some level of quality; this is in the actresses, the production, the writing. I am not expecting high budgets but I tend to avoid most if not all of the videos shot in some guys apartment (those things keep getting made so someone has to buying them and this goes back to the fetish comment above). Having some level of quality is what makes me buy. That's why I tend to stick with Bluestone, Heroine Legends, Next Gloabl Crisis, and the like.
So to the questions:
Do I follow/want a story? I'd say yes, but it is not a deal breaker. I can enjoy stand alone vids with little in the way of plot and also stand alone eps with more detailed plot and also multi-ep arcs with larger plots. Plot/story is a nice added touch but is second to the content. I could take stand alone eps but the story does add. Again, a great story with poor production/models and I would not buy, good content with little story and I will probably still buy some vids (although the same thing over and over would get boring). But good story and good production and I always buy. the main thing I would say here is that the story is what adds the variety. having 10 vids with a spy in a skintight catsuit who gets strangled is cool for the first few but then it is just the same thing over and over. adding different plots but having the same basic elements would make them each worth buying. as an example, since your vids include death eendings and some nudity, i look for less plot to make them a buy. but Next Global Crisis has no nudity or death endings just fighting so i require more plot to make them a buy.
Do I watch all the way through or forward to the fetish parts? Both actually. I tend to skim the vid first and see the good (ie. fetish) parts and then go back and watch thru. I also usually burn the vids to dvd to make it wasier to watch and fast forward/rewind if I want. this might be a bit old school for some but i like the dvd and it protects from a system crash.
Have I bought all the WA series? No. Just the last few. Danica is the reason I bought. I don't have a lot of loyalty to the series more to the actress/content. I do like the premise, the unkillable spy, but only because it allows for the rougher/death content I was looking for. I don't consider the plot of the WA series to be that much though. I know there probably is more to it than I am aware with the whole spy program and backstory but i never got into all that. I view them mostly as individual eps where the spy confronts and fights some villain and then is killed. fairly interchangeable.
Would I want the WA to win? No. having the spy beaten and killed is the point for me.
More girl on girl? I assume u mean in the fighting and not going full porno, but I like a mix of MvF and FvF. If I had to choose, i'd take MvF but I like both. a good mixture.
Mr. Green? could take him or leave him. he does a good job but I have no particular loyalty to him. I would say though that the male part of many vids gets overlooked so having someone who can sell the role is important. so mr green and the guy who played lex are both good. I am not saying get rid of mr green because who knows who you are going to find to replace.
other actresses rather than danica as a WA? would decrease my interest. i might still buy but they would have to be someone who caught my eye and was pretty good. issue is since we can't sample the vid before we buy it as a customer you have to make a decision to buy with little information. I usually go with the actresses' looks and the bits of plot from the trailer. so if an actress doesn't catch my eye i tend to skip.
Am I a super heroine or death fetish guy? both actually. I buy bluestone vids for the death element component to be honest. if i wasn't able to get the death ending, I would be very less likely to buy.
(side note: this was my concern as a customer with yous doing the more mainstream content. i get that you want to branch out but i feared you'd drop the death elements and i'd then lose interest. i also feared that you'd lose the fetish buyers and that getting main stream buyers into your stuff would be difficult, you'd then lose everyone. not saying that will happen just a fear when you decided to try to produce the main stram content is all.)
There are other superheoine sites that do higher quality and more plot so i look here for harder edged vids. i would like to see more super heroin vids and if you guys started doing more plot and different characters i might still buy even without the death endings but based on your current content, that is what i look for. for example, heroine legeends and next global crisis have tons of characters and actresses to pull from. i'd actually rank danica and emma (who it seems might have stopped performing these sorts of vids) at the top of my list as preferences but you have only about a half dozen or so I can think of (the cat warrior actresses, danica, emma, the batgirl actress, and maybe a few others.) so, on that front, i don't think you compete, but you offer the nudity and death endings so i still buy. if you drop those elements you'd have to step your game up and offer something more for me to keep buying. it seems like you are trying that with the whole season 2 plots so we will see. but as of now, I definately still want the death elements.
does topless count? yes and no. I would always like some nudity, but it is not a deal breaker. again, good production/actresses make up for that. i buy from the other sites mentioned and they don't do nudity but do focus on sexy actresses and fights. same here. I buy danica's vids and she doesn't do it. but i will say that the nudity element adds to what i look for in your vids. it is definately a point in your favor. dropping the nudity would detract and you'd need to add quailty to keep the interest i'd say.
I'll summarize your last question: does the overall quality of bluestone vids matter? yes. again i'd put you in the top 3 producers with the other two mentioned. and the quality of your production and models makes the difference. i have not bought many of your older content. and to be honest was disappointed with it. by older content, i mean the death fetish vids where some random (usually bad) actresses gets stabbed or strangled in a hotel room by some unattractive old guy (who I assume is Blue, sorry Blue but Director B said he wanted honesty). those sorts of vids will not get my dollars (this goes back to my first point about not being a fetish guy who will simply buy anything to get my 'fix'. i may enjoy these rougher elements but i want more to the vids as well.) it was not until you went more in the superheroine direction and brought in higher quality actresses that you caught my eye. on your site, i tend to stick with the spy (ie. WA) and superheroine vids. the pure death fetish ones don't interest me all that much. like i said, i might check them out but they tend to mot be worth it.
On the picking a particular fetish element and making a vid based on that? I am not saying don't do it, but it wouldn't interest me too much. I like a little variety in the vids and having one theme might be worth buying but only if the theme was something I wanted. again, the actress and quality would matter more and then the elements if I was interested in them. but if you ended up doing some werid fetish I wouldn't go there.
Note on actresses: i have mentioned i will buy danica content almost always but also i loved emme g as wondra and thought the actress who replaced her in the last amazon, and looks like she will be part of season 2, to not be as good. just a bit plain (good looking but not someone who was shockingly hot) and sort of flat in her acting (not that emma was great but still a step down.)
to be honest, I am disappointed emma won't be in season 2. i still would have contributed to the campaign to be supportive of your efforts to do a larger production but it does tick me off a bit that you guys didn't make that clear, feel like it was a bit of a bait and switch (I might be wrong on that front though and she might still be part but from the previews it looks like she has moved on. i get the business side of things and so her decision not to act in these anymore i get, but a heads up to the customers would have been appreciated.)
On WA plot: as I said I consider the WA eps to be more stand alone. each one is the WA spy fights the bad guy/girl and is ultimately dispatched. I actually do think a larger plot would be cool here. maybe do them in 3 to 5 eps arcs where you have a continuity. doesn't seem like it would add much to the cost but would add to the quality.
Things I'd like to see/plot suggestions:
- Double crosses: having the heroine betrayed. also, having the bad girl betrayed, like a girl and guy team up and kill the heroine/WA, then the guy turns on his partner and she is killed as well.
- an anti james bond: a spy (male) who encounters various females (other spies, informants, femme fatales, etc.) but he always ends up killing them. could also have his boss always telling him off for it too.
Final thoughts/adds:
What brought me to your site? the Emma G/Wondra vid and Danica/Supernova vids. Combining those models with this type of content really raised the bar. this might sound funny/dumb, but having actresses who I could google and find outside of this type of fetish world really made the vids more attractive. it would be like getting jessica alba to star in a superheroine video. bring ing in other models of this same caliber would keep the bar raised. i get that it is not easy but with emma moving on it appears and if danica did so as well, I would be less interested. still buy here and there but there aren't any other automatic buys for me.
One thought about story/plot and incorporating more of it into your vids. I mentioned above about doing 3-5 eps arcs for WA. I'd think that smaller, shorter episode arcs might be the way to go. I'd consider the Supernova/Alien Invasion vids to be this. A nice cool plot in a two episode series. still has all the fetish elements and is relatively small and easy to digest and buy. so maybe using that same format for others. like a WA story that is several eps or a Supernova or Cat Warrior. that way you can have the same death endings but can also have more story (meaning if you do a 10 episode story you can't kill off the main character at the end of each one but you can have other deaths and then her demise at the end of a 2-3 ep arc.) I think going this direction might be good. like having, catwarrior dispatch a rival in the first ep and then go on to rob her target in the second but get captured and dispatched her self, might be a cool stand alone story.
Am very interested in seeing the season 2 episodes. Hope they are an good as they look to be. will be interested is seeing how you still incorporate the fetish elements and hope that these don't suffer with the main stream direction.
hope all this helps.
