Anyone else find this off putting?

Just found the most amazing clip, most amazing feet in HD quality, yet all the way through website address burnt at the bottom corner [Roll Eyes]

It's like buying a big mac and a dude wanting a bite of it or wanting a sip your drink from the same straw:-

It's off putting!

You don't watch Avatar and see Twentieth Century Fox, burnt across the bottom all the way through, they do it at the beginning and end and that's it.

So why do producers do this with feet clips?

Does this annoy other people too or just me?

Well, if you watch TV you see the station ID in the corner of the screen. That said, I hate that too!

On all clips I've ever shot I've always had the website address at the end of clip credits never throughout. Its a distraction. I assume they do it so that if the clip is altered by someone and cut that they will still have their site's ID in it.

As far as still pictures I don't mind the watermark identifying the site its from as long as it is kept in a corner and not distracting or covering an important part of the picture. However, sometimes webmasters like to pop that baby right in the middle of a picture and cover up the model. Dunno why that is.

Posted by Rider Aldebaran (Member # 38525) on :

Probably the webmasters' way of showing people where the clip came from when it's posted on tube sites. After all, it's fairly easy to clip off the beginning and end of a clip if that's the only place where the website is.

Posted by krazyspatula (Member # 31300) on :

Probably a better way would be doing it every so often at certain points in the video that doesn't distract vision and enjoyment of the video.

Don't get me wrong, I understand why producers do it but what producers need to understand themselves is that if they are putting something out there for sale, the thing that the customer is buying AND the customers viewing pleasure comes first and foremost.

The issue on file-sharing isn't the paying customers problem.

I watermark all my video because while you might feel that the file sharing issue isn't the paying customers problem, it's the paying customer that would have had to traded the file to begin with. [Smile]

I think that’s a bit of an unfair thing to say, without your customers you have no business.

I personally don’t think that is the reason most do it though, link or no link the clips are still going to get shared, I think what it is producers are just marking their work, they see tv channels do it, so they do it and it’s a different!

Watching adult related things to Game of Thrones is 2 different things. No one wants to be fapping off and seeing .com half way across the heel. From a producing pov why spend a lot of money hiring these gorgeous women, investing in high tech equipment if www.blahbah.com is going to cover 20% of the screen? I just don’t understand [Confused]

Surely there must be other ways?

Call me crazy, but this has never bothered me - even if I wasn't a webmaster. It isn't like a scrolling ticker like on a news segement. It's generally a ghosted, out of the way static text.

I'd venture to say that the watermark being on the entire clip has caused most sites to gain more viewers than to lose them from people who don't like them. I know I've seen them, even on tube sites, and went and checked them out to see more. Hell, I get mad when it's not there and I have no clue who or where that fine video came from.

Maybe you haven't seen clips in 3D then [Laugh]

3D feet in your face, 2D 'Times New Roman' font, stands out a mile.

But yeah have to say, it's not just 3D. 2D bothers me too, especially HD i tend to notice it more because everything is sharper and you tell something that isn't supposed to be there is there.

But yeah i know what you mean and i agree, i've gone a few times myself 'where's this clip come from?' on some clips that don't have watermarks.

But as said, maybe just do it beginning and end or when the scene is changing?

Maybe it's because we put alot of time and effort into producing these clips and there's alot of pirates online who re-upload with edited watermarks so that we don't get the credit or take the credit themselves. Maybe you haven't done any producing so you aren't sure how it works, but this is why we do it.

Precisely! [Thumbs Up]

I have no problem with anything producers do to protect their content/keep themselves up and running.

Does it annoy me? No. Why would it? I want the sites I like to stick around for a good long time. And I'm not made of money, so I can't support them as much as I'd like to.

Posted by NorcalfeetStudios (Member # 732) on :

In fact I saw recently the video I made of blonde Danielle from like 2009 sometime reloaded and branded as the guys girlfriend talking about her feet, with the sound edited out when she mentioned Norcalfeet.com...seriously?

Posted by krazyspatula (Member # 31300) on :

Ok thanks for the reply's guys, i guess if it only bothers me no point changing everything for just 1 person is there? [Laugh]

Posted by HotLittlePiggies (Member # 43586) on :

We try and film models with the watermark area in mind, remembering to keep things away from the lower right side and we do our best to make it as non intrusive as possible. [Smile]

Works pretty good.

When the owner of the clip does it in promotional videos I have no problem with it, but when it really grinds my gears is if its a tube site for example plastering their name on a video that is clearly pirated in the first place.

Basically if it's from the webmaster, that's ok. if it's from somebody trying to shamelessly promote from someone else's hard work, funk no.

The good old black box with white print web address or company name placed right over top the one who actually produced, paid, and took the time to do all the work. Yeah, that's why we at least put something there to begin with.

then again if you were given the big mac for free and 'forced' to listen to a commercial while eating it or watching movie that 20th century fox gave you for free and 'forced' to see a watermark or a label at the bottom of the screen, it might be worth it. if you dont care for something like that, then you always have the choice to pay for your products. i find hard to believe anyone could complain about a site labeling their own video when you are getting for free.

Unfortunately, there is such a sense of entitlement among some foot fetishists that they do just that!

Right said, I am with you!!!

I have many personal horror stories on the issue, but the following is probably the weirdest.. I share some low-res, quite amateurish videos of my models on MySpace and YouTube, to make my fans happy (my main focus has always been on taking quality pictures, and I have always been a B2B supplier, not a vendor). Well, a friend of mine warned me that a mafia-style pay-per-download site was SELLING a video of mine - starring AIKO - which has always been AVAILABLE FOR FREE on my video channel at MySpace!!! [Confused]

Free video - AIKO's dirty-soled train trip

I don't even mention the countless times I have found pictures of mine in the galleries of some morons on Facebook, with the watermark cut out and captions like "this is my 24/7 barefoot girlfriend", or "I am your barefoot bitch, wanna enjoy a rough & dirty-soled footjob?".. [Mad]

Putting free watermarked samples around the web is essential for any business-oriented artist. And it's obvious that paying customers deserve respect, and that their viewing pleasure cannot be ruined by intrusive, clumsily added watermarks. But yes, we spend a lot of money, time and personal energies in producing quality material.. probably our battle against internet piracy is a lost cause, but at least leave us the right to defend ourselves!!! [Violent]

You are absolutely right!!! Many web-surfers are so used to enjoy a huge amount of quality stuff for free (most of it being available only as a result of piracy), that they would NEVER consider spending some money to enjoy pictures or videos.. and these folks even have the guts to COMPLAIN (sometimes in a rude way!!!) about the quantity & quality of the free stuff you share, as if it was their right to do so!!! "Hey, cannot you post 20-30 pics each week instead of just 4 every 2 weeks???" "The quality of these videos sucks, cannot you get a better vidcam?"
With such an attitude around, I sometimes wonder how it's possible that there are still pay websites in operation.. [Confused]

I am afraid that maverick artists like us are living on borrowed times.. [Cry]
