Agreed, although I'm biased.
I think a good compromise is the "Soupy Sales" method.... There was always another voice "behind the door," but you didn't see anything beyond arms and the occasional pie flying. The whole "Crusty's Bakery" setup is definitely this.
But that also takes a lot of post-production to hide me. (Especially the Wonder Woman scene, where I had to add a "clay monster" over any part of me that was on camera.) AAAAND if you're buying the unedited clips, you won't get that anyway.
Robby and I have had this discussion for years. He backs it up with data.... where apparently the presence of a guy (OOOH!! GROSS!!!!) causes 95% of potential buyers to run for the hills. I think some of that data is flawed, but there's definitely a significant segment who doesn't want to see a guy ANYWHERE on camera. Believe me, if I knew a female who had my pie-smashing skills, she'd be in EVERY scene applying the mess and I'd be safely behind camera.
(And just as point of reference... Even big producers like MostWAM or MG who have long-term models who are EXCELLENT at applying the mess.... There's still lots of scenes where the main pie-throwing arm is hairy....)

Well you definitely have those stats; orders for your two-girl vids vs orders of just you and a single girl.
Since I don't see all that many two-girl vids I can only assume that the sales are even to or only slightly better than you and a single girl. Because if they went through the roof, it every video would be multiple girls.
With that said, I'm guessing it would be relatively cheap to hire a girl to be a professional pie thrower? You're paying her for her time, but if she's not getting messy, then...

Hell yeah, get a women's softball pitcher in there to knock their blocks off!
She seems great! Love the scenes so far, also love how she made a Tom Cruise comparison with ya even more Rich lol.

Yeah, that one kinda threw me but in a good way!
"I thought Tom Cruise was picking me up at the airport."
"Pretty sure he'd just send a lower-ranked Scientologist."
Lord she's fucking adorable!

So...his stunt double? Granted, you're way too tall.
He's more potato now than man. Twisted and evil.

If I could get work being Cruise's stand-in I'd do it in a heartbeat. (But again, the height thing...)
Say what you will about his private life, but dude looks younger than me and he's a good decade older. (Also Beck still looks 21. Something about the thetons??)
Fun fact: Cruise in the new MI:6 is 5 years older than Wilford Brimley was when he shot Cocoon.

Rich - Read your blog post on Abby and it convinced me to purchase scene 2. Abby is one cute sexy model!. Love her reactions and the genuine smile that comes through (and also you pieing her in the butt). I hope you are able to shoot with her again!

YES! The blog finally works!!
But seriously.... Did I describe her pretty accurately? I'm actually super-excited by how well her scenes have connected.... As I mentioned in the blog, I wasn't sure if her on-camera appeal would translate well through just a handful of stills and a couple quick video teasers. Turns out it did!
Good news is we shot a LOT of footage.... So three more scenes will be coming! (Not right away, but eventually...) And I hope to shoot some fresh stuff soon, possibly before Christmas.... but realistically, not until 2019.

Just leave me some $$ in the will.

Rich - I do think you described her pretty accurately. You could definitely tell from the gleam in her eyes in some of the photos that she was having fun. She's not perhaps as exuberantly messy (at least in scene 2) as Sidney was in her debut videos, but it was clear she was having a blast while doing a damn good professional job. The clearly infectious glee she had came through particularly after the sliming. Will look forward to seeing the next three scenes you shot with here when you release them!
