I would have a title but it seems blogspot wants to translate it...sorry I don't speak scribble.
anyway...Just been thinking about how far sternutation has come commercially. from trading via snail mail to fetish websites selling vhs to the call girl atmosphere of keen.com all the way to current with clips4sale and youtube, it's been amazing on the growth of resources. Now with anything commercialized...there comes in the who "do you get what you pay for?" scenario.
I use clips4sale. i love it...sometimes I really want to build a store
there as I love to film and have ideas that would so rock...but i'm too chicken to look for models. Hows that for a blessing and a curse?
A lot of people have asked about quiality of stuff there, as most is just porn/fetish people usually asked by people to sneeze, and by not knowing what a sternutist really likes, sometimes comes out with something that isn't well received, and then they don't make another. Worse yet, a store/model gets overstocked and demanded by the usual shark community and ends up discouraging the author from creating more. Currently there are a lot of stores, very good stores, that have not updated in several months, a few because the above situation. Nevertheless, there is still a good selection of material there.
So how to tell what is good and what isn't?
Well, first up what is good and what isn't really is up to the person getting the video, isn't it. One person likes watching the nose, another the eyes. But one thing for certaion, most C4S clips are at least $1 per minute of clip, sometimes more, so what i do there is measure dollar for sneeze. Usually the smaller 2-3 minute clips will have some nice fits...but really, if I'm gonna pay $26 for a 20 minute film, I would expect to have at least one per minute, or 20 total(10 in the first 3 minutes and then 10 at the last 5 is not unreasonable, the middle could be something else). This seems to be the norm in more of the stores with a wide selection of clips.
I'll write more on this and even give a list of my favorite clips in a later post.
I'll be hanging online tonight checking out some more material too, first time in a while i've been able to hang on the messengers and chat.
