I had posted a while back about some producers who just churn out the same formula over and over again without any imagination or new scenarios.
Looks as if I will be guilty of this. My soon-to-be-wam-model, Jen, will be doing the very thing I had complained about other producers doing. I realize it's more of a niche thing than being stuck in a rut.
Here is a typical Jen download: Opening title screen for 'Cooking with Jen', followed by the first segment where Jen is somehow mixing or carrying something messy, but accidentally manages to dump it all over herself. Second segment? Same as the first, but new outfit, clean hair, etc. Third segment? Pretty much same as first two, but the idea was sent in by a viewer. Possible fake commercial that will involve mess, such as laundry detergent removing chocolate from a top. End credits. Entire download probably about fifteen minutes in length. All segments are mostly shot from the waist up, with the occasional boob being seen.
Jen wants EVERY SINGLE VIDEO to follow that same formula. She will wear different outfits and will be the very klutzy cooking show hostess. We'll probably start shooting in mid October. I'll have some promo photos taken before that and of course, I'll post them here.
So to any producer I may have offended by complaining that they have no imagination, because everything is predictable, I apologize. The Cooking with Jen show will be VERY predictable where every single scene ends in a mess, with Jen acting shocked or surprised when it happens. For those who LIKE the scenario, it's good news. For those who won't like the first episode, don't bother with the rest, as they'll all be following a similar theme. 1. Attractive girl hosts a cooking show. 2. Attractive girl gets trashed due to a 'mishap' of her own clumsiness. Rinse. Repeat.
By the way, the image shows a photo-shopped Jen. I haven't yet shot messy photos with her, but when I do, this image will be updated, plus I'll share the photos here.
I for one love this idea, as the klutzy host scenario excites me. I especially like the idea of a laundry detergent commercial where her nice outfit gets covered in mess. I hope that her shocked reactions will include some dialogue along the lines of "Oh no! Not my brand new outfit! I'll never get this clean! Why does this always happen to me?"
I don't think for one moment that you, or indeed anyone else, should apologise for, "the same old tired formula!" If we had the privilege of knowing the secret sexual fantasies of a selection of users here, I wonder how many of them would change that much! I may be wrong, but I suspect that many of us enjoy the same sort of thoughts that have inspired us continually for years! Your scenario sounds great!

I'm looking forward to Episode 1!
It will be a bit of a wait. Jen wants to set up and shoot segments that might only be five minutes in length, including some slow-motion footage. Each download will have three of these segments. That means three times the work of a 'normal' messy video shoot. Three changes of clothes and totally getting herself clean, dry, made up, hair perfect, and a new outfit. Three times for me to clean everything up and prepare whatever mess the next episode calls for. So if we're lucky, we can shoot these three in one session. But some segments will be messier and more complex, so we might only shoot the one scene or possibly a second one. She doesn't want to drag things out, because for her it's all about the transition from perfect hostess to an absolute mess, with all of the 'oh, not my new top' and 'oops, how could I be so clumsy?' comments. For Jen, the transition is the whole point of the segment, so she neither will be seen clean or messy for very long.
Thanks too, Mr Wet Shirt and Zippy 3. She will also have wet shirts from time to time, but only as a pre-messy set-up, or a soaked showering off of a mess. In one segment, a viewer sends her a basket of water balloons (pre-filled) and she pops them inside of her t shirt so that the water shoots up towards her face. The last balloon has a surprise though, because it isn't just water inside.
I do hope and actually think this may be popular. Everyone loves the 'damsel in distress' idea, and in this case, it's the dumb blonde (who happens to have black hair) who is so clumsy, it's ridiculous. I can't wait to get started with Jen, but first will be some promo photos before we actually shoot any video. But between the two of us, we already have a ton of scripts and ideas ready to go with, and she's bought specific tops that she won't mind destroying.
I have her sitting kind of leaning back, so when she lifts a huge pie to show the viewers, and it slips out of her hands, it will land on her hair and her face, then slide down over her chest. She is buying low-cut tops, so there is a good chance that a lot of mess will go inside too. She does have nice boobs and doesn't mind showing them off, but she's more of a tease, so they'll be seen through wet fabric, or under a messy coating, rather than just in-your-face.
