OK I will bump this one more time, so those who are foolish enough to send you money had a fair warning and those who actually read this thru realize what kind of liar you are...

These as pertinent excerpts from many e mails I have exchanged with this guy:

Make you own conclusions:

Looked at some of the vids on VIMEO by Anton. Are you the same person? If yes, then let me know
I am looking for softer lesbian/solo clips about 25 minutes in length with sub dom elements.
Feb 15 he wrote
Quote:
Yeah im same person. You can find my portfolio and contacts at xxxxxxxxx.com
Nice. I can shoot this clips for you. What's your price for this 25 minutes video?
Feb 15 I wrote not wanting to reveal all my cards regarding the costs
Quote:
You are an artist and have nice style. That is the good part.
So back to my question. What would it cost per clip and do you have the models.
Feb 16 he replied ( note it is HIM who offered the price)
Quote:
500$ fir one video with teo models. and i can make discount if you order more then one video
Feb 16 I replied
Quote:
At $ 500/ 30 min. movie, I believe we could come to arrangement and if it works out for both of us we would do multiples ( maybe 3 to 4) videos at a time 2 to 3x /year. Sometimes we would add a 3 rd model in the multiples and call it "a discount".
I would work with you ahead with creating a bit of a story ( none or just minimal dialogues... like yes, no, please, come here! strip! etc....)
I would need to see the pictures of the models before the shoot and of course for the USC 2257 I will need copies ( of ALL models) government ID to prove that they are over 18 years of age. I would be looking for "fresh" faces no excessive tattoos or artificial breasts implants.
Also I need to be sure that this is an exclusive shoot for us. I would hold the copyright.
My plan is to start this later this Spring so maybe you can outline for me some options also have you ever shot anything more explicit then on your site and can I see a clip of it?
Please let me know

If you will order 3 or 4 clips i can make it for 450$/30min movie.
I understand you, it's ok.

Please answer my questions from my last e mail:

2) Exclusivity ?

OK Anton, I am now clear on everything I will be ready with everything at the end of March I will contact you again.
Feb 22 he replied
Quote:
ok
At this point for about a month as I indicated to him I left things since I had to do other business, he meanwhile relocated from Thailand back to Moscow ( as you can also determine from one of his posts earlier in this thread....

So at the end of March as I promised I did contact him again:

I think I am ready for you to shoot the first 30 min project for me, based on our earlier discussion. Please confirm to me that you are still interested and able to produce it. Once I get your confirmation, I will prepare a detailed proposal as how this may work between us. As I said in the onset I want to "test" one "episode" but once I know it is all working we would do 4 to 6 at a time

Yeas im still interested.

OK I will prepare a proposal this weekend and forward.
March 28 I wrote ( enclosed are only the pertinent items of that e mail and where I suggested a process)
Quote:
Upon agreeing to all mutual conditions and after signing the full production agreement by both parties ( we both MUST be properly identified upon signing, so it is legitimate agreement): Then:

1) You will submit a recent photos ( or clips) of ALL models and alternates ( if any) of those to appear in the vidfeo for my approval. Once approved, then we agree on the content, Then:
2) I will forward to you 50 % of agreed to amount ( USD $ 250) for you to begin the production, you will forward to me USC 2257 materials for the models and their agreements to act in this video ( I will supply the format in English)
3) Upon completion of the project and a rough edit is done, you will make available the video to me to screen in some low resolution format over the Internet so I can have any input if need be. Once I approve the version, then,
4) I will forward to you the balance of the fee ( USD $ 250) and you will ship all the materials to me ( including the raw footage). ( If it will require shipping using a hard drive the drive and shipping will be at my cost).
March 30 he replied
Quote:
All right, I agree
March 30 I wrote ( since until this moment I had no idea what and how will the stuff to be shot a reasonable request I think)
Quote:
WE have agreed already that you will shoot in HD. Please advise me what camera you will be using and onto what media you will be storing the footage.
March 30 he replied
Quote:
i use blackmagic 2k camera
March 31 I wrote ( trying to determine the basic technical requirements since he claims he is professional)
Quote:
OK Thanks for the info and the picture. I know the camera gives an excellent video, but has some issues.
1) Color correct all the raw footage ( using the software supplied ?)
2) Record sound ( even if it is mostly just model's breathing,( making "love sounds") and very little dialogue. The review says that the sound is not that good??
3) What and how would be the best way to ship the material to me? So if need be I can transfer it to Final Cut Pro. ( I have asked this before)
Also, any other technical suggestions. I have asked several times please do not send me "one or two word" answers, that does not give me a lot of confidence. I need to create technical specifications for you and your equipment,

Please answer me in as much detail as you can.

Sorry. I think you are little more demanding then usual customers. I always make good videos with good quality and had no problems.
I think until the deal took place i want to tell you something. since our first conversation was some time and in our country there was inflation so my prices have risen. I can shoot one video for 900$. For this price i will send raw footages for you by post, write detailed answers, record with good microphone, make some corrections if need and others.
Let me know if you are still interested.

No I am not, I am not that stupid, I also know that rubble de-valuated by 50 %, so it is probably all even. But that is not important. What is important is: If you want to make deals, stick to them. I do not do business like that,.........
and there you have it.
