I personally, don't sacrifice production values for fetish. They both exist in my work to the degree that they can. Recently, I took what would have been my normal production money for the last 3 months and funneled it into a studio remodel.
Now, I have full understanding that some won't care. When I spend 2 hours color correcting all the shots on the movie so they all match and the other guy does not and still sells....I don't feel like I wasted that 2 hours. It's a part of what I do.
For instance, Paul, you might sell just as many movies using a spring-blade and cut offs. But, it is your passion, your skill. I commend you for doing it and run away screaming from trying it myself. :-)
Or, take Hank, with his composites and pretty guts. He is doing it for him and a few that really appreciate it, but in all honestly, if everything regressed back to the beginning of Necrobabes and hotel room shoots full of girls dressed like strippers---yet, they would still sell.
But, I think good producers always want to improve and put out a good product. And, Paul, your production values are great. And, while I still wonder why some of those low value producers are in the top 20, I am confident that whether it is attention to detail, passion, or me just being stupid with my edit process--I think it translates to a product that people know is cared about.
On the other hand, I guess I could just hire the hottest model I can find and meet her at the hotel room with my Barbiecam, a clamp light, and cap gun and be good to go. :-)
