Transexual VIDEOS suggestions...

[josephstrauss65]

I would like to see TG videos made with more love, I explaine, most of Brazil videos, with the most sexy girls ever, are not well produced, the make up is bad, so the girl wont look her best, the sex scene almost look like the are not in to it, and thats the fault of the director AND producer, the video shoul generate chemestri, some lady even has hairy legs, we should go fot the standard of quality in details as the straigh videos, and the fact that could be gonzo or not should'nt be against quality. Why not to make tranny videos, where she is perfect makeuped? with profesional lighting? depilated, and tanned? as in main stream with really good face, mouth, feet, cumshots? on the trannie on the male by the girl, double fucked trannies? A2M, cream pies, foot cumming, if you do a little close up of tg toes sucked for 2 minutes in every video it wont do much to the ones who disliked but will bring a lot for foot fetishers, ask bob t girls if people like his tranny toes pics? just 2 minutes, you can do all this in one video, it will cost the same, only it would be better, making a video looking for excelence, not as a dull job that have to be done by someone., of course there are good ones but not that much, What about a real gang bang on a trannie? a nice one vanity or high class one, not girls gang banging a guy , 10 guys doing a shemale, no clean allowed, but a beautiful one , one thet enjiy cocks, not just as an obligation, one who would love cum and cocks, what do you thing about it?

How about a non-gonzo style film, with the camera mounted on a tripod? Or even (shock!) a fuckin' story in it, instead of a series of fuck scenes strung together with tenuous links.

Joanna Jet is the only person who can pull that off!

Imagine what Viv Thomas could do with some hot t-girls, especially if you've ever seen the Pink Velvet trilogy.

Hi,

This topic offers valid comments with regard to TS porn and I find myself also humbled that my name should be associated with being able to address these comments.

The bottom line is that the formulaic approach to TS porn that is based on presenting a variety of transsexuals (with new faces preferred) in vignette scenes shot in a gonzo style assured sales whilst to deviate from this format presented only the risk of consumer disinterest.

As a consequence, this lead to the major series in TS porn all following a similar format, whether it be "Rogue Adventures", "TS Prostitutes", "Transsexual Beauty Queens", "Wendy's Wild Shemales" or "Shemale Jet-Set", with even new entrants to the market such as Anabolic and Defiance Films following suit.

When I released "Brazen Shemales #1" over 3 years ago, it was a break from the mould in featuring just two established performers in just three extra-length scenes.
With it's initial sales out of the door less than half of a formulaic release and only achieving break after a year on the market, this suggested that deviating from the formula was not of benefit.
It was only in the long-term that it proved worthwhile by returning ongoing sales past the expected shelf-life as a result of becoming a cult title that broke the mould.

It was only in the beginning of this year that I chose, once again, to break the mould by releasing "Joanna Jet's Vacation", a multiple camera HD production with high production values and more than double the budget of a formulaic release.
Whilst achieving equivalent sales in the US to a formulaic title and being one of the top-selling titles in the UK for which it was rewarded with "Best Transsexual Film" at the UK porn awards, it failed to claim a comparable nomination for the AVN 2007 awards.
With TS titles which dare to break the mould failing to be recognised for being such and thereby benefiting from industry and consumer attention, it is no wonder that the major TS studios choose to pump out the same old shit over and over again.

When I see a TS gonzo title outsell a "Shemale Jet-Set" with twice the budget that comes from greater production quality and featuring "named" performers, is it any wonder that even I doubt the value of wanting to make "better" TS porn?

It is still my intention, for 2007, to release just a couple of "Shemale Jet-Set" titles in order to also produce a TS feature and an interactive DVD beyond the expected norm.
But, at the end of the day, unless industry interest and consumers' wallets return a justifiable worth, then it should offer no surprise when, in 2008, I turn to pushing out a raft of "same-as" titles derived from the lowest-cost contracted brazilian content.

Just a thought

well , i remember some shemale old movies (1980,1990) with stories and some really nice scenes(softcore).The girls werent beautiful like now, but the production itself i liked very much.
I usually dont buy or rent shemale dvd or porn, only some germain and of course, Italian porn movies or anything with some brain work on them.
I am Brazilian and i agree with the crappy quality of the porn movies.But i think the fault is of the public.They buy the shit. SO they dont need improve the work.
I know its hard rise the level of the production of a porn movie since almost everybody watch hidden and have no feedback at all.
But i think the gonzo style still can be improved. I dont know i have some ideas.

Yeah, it's a shame when guys buy gonzo in bulk for the OTT style of shooting, as compared to good production values, with "name" performers, otherwise it's 1 scene with a "name" performer and the rest of the film featuring nothing but Brazillian girls that no-one's heard of and that's a shame.

But business is business, and money-returns is what matters to execs, so if gonzo is where the money lies, the Industry has to follow.

I have trouble watching the stuff that Joey Silvera shoots, because it's so dull, I know lots of guys love JS's movies, but I get bored with it, the same when I watch a Trans X title with all Brazillian girls.

Honestly, I've said it before, but here goes, Joanna Jet films with enthusiasm and energy and raises the fuckin' bar for "good stuff", some quality. Brazen She Males, should have been ultra dull (3 scenes, that go for ages?), but the chemistry between Joanna and Vicki carries the film, with nairy a dull moment.

Brazen She Males 2, might have been nice, a kind of ultra hard, 2 fingers up to the rest of the Gonzo Shooters Crowd, a real take-no-prisoners approach, hell I'd buy it.

i've seen the Pink Velvet trig as well as several other
very hot titles ( Butterfly, Office Girls, Unfaithful, etc.) the
dude's work and creativity when it comes to
lesbo films is just truly awesome and unique as they come.
No one else is even close.

Don't know about Viv doing and having as much success with
Tgirls films as he has had with Lezbos films
what might be in his element in one area may not be his
element in another. And would he even be interested in
exploring that field ?

By the way, we practically have a Viv Thomas in Tranny films
in Joey Silvera whose Rogue Adventures series continue to
light up the sale boards and draw mass public demand.
Find out what it is that is making Silvera/Rogue films tick and
what draws so much appeal and demand to them.
Find out what the fans want and pour it on. They pay the bills
they make you the ratings,the sales revenue , the big dough
but i've noticed that most directors just will not do that and thus
their products has to take a back seat and remain at the bottom
of the barrell.

Hi,

It is good to see this thread crop up again a year later.

There have been some insightful comments made in the posts of this topic and for me, they boil down to two main points: Creativity and production quality.

As suggested in a previous post and confirmed by my experience as a producer, TS porn consumers will, in vast majority, choose their product based on price and it's conformance to the well established format of the gendre.
When producing the cheapest possible movie from using amateur Brazilian performers and cameramen returns the greatest profits, is it any wonder that virtually all TS movie producers hold little regard for creatibity and quality.

With this in mind, I once again refer to Joanna Jet's Vacation.
This title was shot on location, in HD, using multiple cameras and featuring an all-professional cast and with it's 1 TS/5 girl was a total breakaway from the typical format of the gendre.
Yet, in the US, Joanna Jet's Vacation achieved less sales than a typical Joey Silvera look-alike featuring yet more banal sex in a cheap motel room shot on less than a quarter of the budget.

As a producer, I place great value on creativity and production quality but to deliver thes values requires being of sufficient worth to the TS consumer to generate the necessary budget.

Yours,

Joanna Jet

I don't even watch trans porn anymore, it was just so SSDD.

I dont think is about money but creativity... i mean in a regular hardcore film you would find gaping assholes, foot fetish, ass licking, finger fuck, double anal, cum swaping, orgies, but in this orgies people cum all over the film not as an assignment, i mean if doing an orgy lets, have not a line fucking a tg girl, like goin' to a toilet, it not shoukd be difficult to have various guys fucking her self at the same time and enjoyin it!, cum swaping withtg girls , a real gang ban like the gang bang girl series, like bella donna fuckin girls series, i mean real hard core with petty tgs! Long live to joanne jet! its difficult to find your videos down here, bit some how i will!

Hey Joanna, thx for participating in this thread.

First, if you have to go the low budget Brazilian route in order to make money on some or most of your discs, at least spend 30 minutes and coach the girls to say a few things in english and put an alternative english track on the DVD. I recongize the english bias in the statement above, but that's where the market is at.

Second, discounting the 1980's TS features with guys with bad mullets, I can't even think of a modern TS feature title other than Genderella, which I loved by the way. Great story, great sex. And it's already a pretty old title. Seems to me there has to be a market for TS Features. At least one or two per year. Even something with a loose plot like the late 90's Jim Holliday titles like Car Wash Angels would be better than the same old same old TS gonzo.

And finally, thanks Joanna for at least trying. So much of the industry, both regular porn and TS porn, is completely lacking in any kind of imagination. It's nice to see some push the envelope. And I have paid more for titles that are better produced. I like the multiple angles so I'll have to check out Vacation.
