Just got to wondering, how would you do things if money was no object? I.e., you had a rich benefactor willing to pay big bucks for content; would you hire different (I won't say "better") models? Use more elaborate set-ups? Are there any ideas that you have had but couldn't realize due to monetary constraints? Would be curious to know - don't leave me hanging!
with few exceptions most shoots are just me doing everything, cameras, lights, script, pie prep. and it can get kinda stressful. i love it but ideally what is needed is a crew. somebody on each camera. one person can only do so much and i think that's a hard limitation to overcome. i always joke that i need a "pie wrangler" too.
Firstly : Sets. I would love to regularly film on proper sets which really looked like and office, or a wedding reception or whatever. Also to be able to mess up a bed or a sofa or something would be amazing. If money was no object I could do that..thou regardless, my goal this year is to take Slymsford's on the road. I have already booked shoots at 3 different producers studios this year, and have a possible fourth..all of which are a step up from my bedroom (trusty servant though it has been).
Secondly: A second or third camera person and a prep and clean up crew
Third: A massive multi-girl shoot. A real epic with lots of cutaways like a Stooges or Laurel and Hardy film. With time and money no object you really could hire a model to just take one pie in a scene if that was all that was needed.
Personally I have loved working with every single model I have worked with. I have met some amazing people and all, without exception, have been gifted and talented individuals. For me, I wouldn't change my models at all (other than to have more..see point two).
So yes..if there is a rich benefactor out there who would like to fund me to go bigger and better then I am all ears
More elaborate gunging facilities. I'd love to be able to slowly lower people, either standing on podiums or sitting on stools, into a large vat of gunge, say in a game-show type scenario where every wrong answer meant being lowered another six inches into the slime.
Multiple cameras and operators to drive them, and time and money to set up some training shoots to train them to shoot to my specifications.
Larger studio facilities, better lighting, semi-automated mechanical clean-up aids like sliding floors over drain sumps.
Being able to shoot wetlook at a nice private swimming pool.
Also replace all my broken parts with cool robot parts and achieve my dream of being a cyborg! Not like those creepy Swedish Borg from Star Trek though.

Now there's a thought. Unlimited budget? Seven of Nine is going in a liquid clay bath in her catsuit!
If I had an unlimited amount of money I would hire an A-list screenwriter to collaborate on a really good script about the '80s mud wrestling clubs. Then I'd finance and direct the movie myself and get a dozen or so mainstream actresses to mud wrestle naked under the guise of respectability. Scarlett Johansson would win an Oscar for her performance as the tough, seen-it-all stripper who grapples her way to the top.
(Also I'd creep out the cast and crew so much that they wouldn't let me direct the sequel, but who cares, right?)

I had quite a similar thought re a vat - maybe with a swing above it or something. One day, perhaps there'll be a paradigm shift and we'll see content on a new level (not knocking the current stuff by any means) - it'll be like the 4-minute mile; no one dreamed it possible, next thing everyone's doing it!
