ISM & BA & IFM Sites

hi there, my wife and i are members of I Shot Myself + Beautiful Agony + I Feel Myself and it appears to me that all 3 sites seem to be affiliated in some way or another, as we made an approach to IFM about the possibility of shooting some content for them (mainly my wife) and it was suggested that we start by sending a Folio (photos) to ISM first, and maybe a video as well, and if it is accepted, we could then be asked to provide a video shoot to IFM.

at the moment, it seems the IFM forum is not available, but richard has told me it should be back up and running in the near future, which i really hope is the case.

i just want to say to all you wonderful people here at ISM and those over at BA and IFM that you are so very much appreciated for providing normal every day people a wonderful website to join up to and have the ability of watching so many beautiful contributors perform like they do in their normal every day environments.

having these sites available, especially that they are australian, just makes it even more special because normal every day run of the mill porn (as tastefully as it might be done now) is meaningless compared to real amateur videos like the ones available in these 3 sites.

the only other site we are members of, and are avid forum members is Hegre-Art, and we have both been to the tantric temple in spain and taken part in their week long massage classes with all the wonderful people who appear in all the massage videos in their website.

anyway, apologies for going on for so long, but i just had to post this up and again, say thanks to you all for a great site.

cheers

Re: ISM & BA & IFM Sites

You're right, all of the websites are run by feck. I'm glad to hear your wife is making a folio for IShotMyself - it is a seriously fun experience! It sounds like you two have a really healthy and open attitude towards erotica. It must make you feel very close to be able to share your thoughts on our erotica with someone you love.

Hegre-art sure has some beautiful photos and videos but I am a little intimidated by just how perfect all the model look, haha. Not an ingrown hair, saggy boob or hint of cellulite to be seen. The massages look pretty great though, do they feel as good as they look?

hi, i am a wedding videographer, so i am not so much into photography myself, so with the Hegre-Art content we dont bother with the photos at all, or any of the solo videos of the girls just shooting random stuff during their photo shoots because it is very choreographed, and on the whole its pretty boring to watch.

we only go for the massage and duet type videos, because they are real people doing real things to each other, and are done in a very arty manner (may not suit everyone) its not faked up rubbish that you see in many other sites out there on the internet.

the ladies who you see giving the massages in most of the massage videos are employed by Hegre-Art and all work at their tantra palace in spain, where workshops are carried out for those who wish to go there and learn the are of tantric (and other forms) of massage.

in some massage videos it is actually the models who massage each other, be it male/female or female/female, and some of these videos can get quite steamy i can tell you, but in the end, Peter Hegre portrays his work as art, and thats why it usually looks all squeaky clean with nothing out of place, but it is all real, and thats the way i like it.

also, many of the models are contracted by Hegre-Art and only work for them, others are free to work for other sites, with some girls doing nude modelling and maybe the odd tastefully shot soft porn videos here and there.

we have been to one of Peter Hegre's workshops in spain (7 days of sheer bliss) and although its not cheap, it truly is the most amazing experience in the world, and every couple should experience this sort of thing to really appreciate just how nice massage can really be.

Fabi is the senior massage therapist with Hegra-Art, she is the absolute best at what she does, and we were very fortunate to have spent 1 day with her on our own, and the experiences she gave both of us was nothing short of amazing.

i will add before i go that there is absolutely nothing that comes close to IFM for sheer mind blowing amateur content on the internet, and although it is mostly only female content, its really is just amazing to watch so many different women doing what they do so naturally, and either shot in the IFM studios, or they film themselves in their own environments.

it would be nice if they added some male content to their site as well (for the ladies who prefer watching men masturbate) but for now, my wife is thinking about joining up over at "gentleman handling" to see what its all about (http://gentlemanhandling.com/public/main.php)

anyway, apologies for ranting on, just love posting in here and downloading the vids, and again, we love real amateur videos so keep up the great work.

well being a videographer myself helps a lot with making a video, but i am not an arty type of videographer, and i dont try to make my videos look or feel like something that is not real or natural, and i like video that is spontaneous, just like the videos that are shot by your wonderful members, and i especially love the video shot by Sheila titled "5 Sheilas" and is probably my favourite video so far.

we are not new to shooting video of ourselves, been doing it on and off for the past 15 years or so, and have a pretty decent collection already, both in the old dvd format, and many shot in HD format in the past 4 or 5 years, but the video clips we have been shooting in the past week is more akin to what your site would expect members to contribute, and we have some pretty nice footage shot so far.

also have to remember that my wife is 51y/o and of asian decent, but she looks like a 35 y/o and still has a very nice body to boot, and i remind her about it every single day.

cheers

Re: ISM & BA & IFM Sites

Oh wow I didn't realise you were a videographer too, now I'm even more excited about seeing your wife's contributions! It sounds like she has a natural youthful beauty and good taste in erotica.

I agree with you that spontaneous videos are much better. I hate it when you can tell in the model's body language that the videographer is standing there going "yeah flip your hair, turn your body to this side, move your legs apart" and they are jut going through the motions. Anyway I'm looking forward to seeing what you two make together .

Re: ISM & BA & IFM Sites

Oh wow I didn't realise you were a videographer too,

LOL thats one reason why i asked in one of the threads, or via an email to one of the mods (richard) why the videos in here are basically standard def resolution (well 854x480 for the newer videos) and i was told because this site is primarily for photos and not videos, and the videos submitted by the members are not compulsory, so being a videographer, im more into good quality video than i am into photos.

i  downloaded many of the newer videos by right clicking the "zip" option in the thumbnail list of videos on each page, and they downloaded in mpg format (dvd) and it was only just now that i found that if i click on each thumbnail (24 per page) i go to the bio of that video, and i have an option to download the MOV version of the file, and after downloading yours just now in the MOV container, i see they are slightly better quality than the MPG files are (not a lot but they are a bit better and not as blury in some parts)

i shoot all my video in 1080/50p avchd (MTS) at 28Mbps so its very high "bluray" quality, and the videos over at IFM are 720p mp4 with a pretty decent bitrate so the quality is very good, and for us to watch on our 50" plasma in our bedroom, little wonder i like higher resolution and higher quality, comes thru so beautiful on tv when watching it from 3 metres away, and the files from Hegre-Art are even much better again in 1080p at a high bitrate

i have to contact someone about the videos i am shooting in such high quality because i usually re-convert mine down to 720p mp4 @ 25fps from 1080p m2ts @ 50fps because its a much more widely used resolution and frame rate for playback on most tv's, and i assume i should do the same with these videos given they will need to be uploaded to ISM and put in the website eventually for publishing.

i also need to clarify if i can edit my own video as well, and ask if they have to be in 2 parts, or as a single file.

just playing around with some ideas at the moment, already had a bit of fun with one scene using a bowl filled half way up with warm melted brown chocolate, another bowl with melted white chocolate, and 2 artist brushes all used as the theme, but thats all i can say right now, you have to imagine it for just a while longer, but it was very "tastily" shot if you will pardon the "pun"

will get a submission done when we think we have the right video to offer, and when my lady is comfortable for it to be handed over, because this will be our first time doing this sort of thing publicly.

should see the Nuru massage videos not many people have heard of Nuru Massage before, if not, just google it, and if you buy the right Nuru gel (from our supplier here in aust) and you find someone willing to share the pleasure with you, then you could be in for the time of your life, it really is amazing to participate in.

cheers again.
