ParticipantI’ll sidetrack a bit and ask the more technical questions:
So who is doing the editing and shooting? Is it just you Mimi or did you get a small team together?
What are you shooting on, what are you editing on? And is someone doing the special effects?
My first thought was “Is someone doing the color correction? I noticed that the video although well lit and nicely shot, still could have used a tiny bit of color correction in the form of making the colors a bit deeper. Wanda is a little pale in the first shot, so a smidge of hue/sat + levels would color her up a bit and hopefully make the muscles pop out a bit more.
This is something that I personally would have gladly offered to do for free, but I don’t know what kind of workflow you guys are working with.
Other than that,
Love the website, love the directing of the models, I enjoy the pacing, and think the shots are nicely composed. Not too fond of the female narrator voice only because it reminds me of those 1-800 phone sex numbers you see on late night TV. It’s too “commercial, exaggerated” if that makes any sense.
Congrats on the new venture!

ParticipantCollector,
You asked some great questions, sweetie. We actually shot this on a lower end pro-sumer HD camera, the JVC GZ-HM400, which was all we could get for this shoot. I wasn’t particularly happy with our colors either, but it is what it is. My partner Michael does all the editing in FCP, and mentioned we needed a higher end camera for our next shoot. He basically said he did what he could with it, but did say we needed some tungsten or more powerful Kino lighting for our next shoot if we were to use the JVC for our next shoot. Feel free to drop Michael a line at admin@tp-studios.com as I’m sure he’d love to get some feedback as to how to make our product better.
We both feel that if these beautiful women work so hard to achieve their fantastic look, then it’s OUR job to do OUR best to properly photograph them as best as we can. I don’t want to excuse it or pass it off as our first video, but I can say we learned a LOT with our first shoot.
Thanks for everyone’s comments!! The more feedback the better I think, because that helps give you guys BETTER content.
Peace and Love,
~Mimi

ParticipantMimi,
I hope this is as successful as you think it should be. If Lil Doll and Megan are indicative of the talent you are able to get, you should have no problems at all. Good luck!

ParticipantThanks Colt! I appreciate the kind words.
That being said, it hasn’t been as easy as one would think. It takes time to build a rapport with models and bodybuilders, and we’re nowhere near that yet. I’m excited about attending this year’s Arnold so I can meet and hang out with these Goddesses. It stiill comes down to face to face networking and socializing.
Most FBB’ers still haven’t heard of us yet, and 10 out of 10 models I’ve tried locking down a shoot with for the Arnold quit replying/calling back after about 4 interactions. I’m not complaining by any means as I know that’s just the nature of the beast.
Fingers crossed!!
XOXO’s

ParticipantOh my God! I just sat though all 5 parts and I don’t think I’ve seen anything as artfully erotic in my whole life :ohmy:! I’m very intrigued by the descriptions of the upcoming videos as well.
Anyway, congratulations on being able following your dreams! I really hope you are able to arrange a shoot with Alina at the Arnold, although I know she’ll be ridiculously busy. You would probably also have to get a special harness so you could hold the camera steady, what with all the, um… shuddering :).

ParticipantNow that’s just the nicest thing a girl could hear, Reason! 😉 Thank you for the kind words. I am so glad you approve!!
At this point, a shoot with Alina Popa is highly unlikely. I wouldn’t see that happening at least for a couple of years, until we establish ourselves.
Thank you EVERYONE!!!
Peace and Love,

ParticipantThis is GREAT stuff. Good work.
The skinny model couldn’t be more perfect. The bodybuilder is great too,
but I’d love to see something with a really big and really beautiful FBB, like a Nicole Ball or a Sarah Hayes. Fat chance of getting those two involved in anything like this though…February 5, 2011 at 5:54 am #98747Robert McNay
ParticipantHi Mimi,
Can I ask, are your actors local talent?
February 5, 2011 at 6:21 am #98748Mimi
ParticipantMatt,
No, I had to fly one of of the ladies in, and the other had to make a drive. Not local.
Thanks kHuddle!! Yes, i don’t think Nicole Ball or Sarah Hayes would come to our level unfortunately. I can’t seem to get ANY FBB to answer our query letters or e-mails. So frustrating, but that’s just the biz. 😉
Thanks for watching everyone! As soon as I can line up some talent, I’ll have more content soon, I promise!
XOXO’s
