Why Choose Dave Over Other Studios

For GB2691, I felt like I needed to leave your last posts alone as they were, as usual, "spot on". Dave has some great sites. He knows how to produce his videos. Natalie is outstanding in her duties with customer service. We chatted on email about other topics while discussing my custom request. It felt like talking to someone with some concerns for me. On a side note, I had family issues I was dealing with and Natalie was great in lending a supporting role there. Finally, who can complain about the performance of the models hired by Dave!

I have purchased from other studios and have regretted many of those transactions. It was a waste of money. It has taught me to narrow my field, I guess, to specific studios I know will deliver. Beauties-in-Bondage and Force2Please are in the top of my personal list as well as that of Clips4Sale. I have NEVER been displeased with any video purchased from these sites and I have not removed any of my purchased videos from Dave to the Recycle Bin or the Never View Again folder on my personal storage device.

I have seen models posted on Dave's sites with videos at other studios. I can say there is a difference in quality. For example, Rachel Adams is another of my favorite models used occasionally by Dave. I purchased other videos starring Rachel Adams from Bondage-Down-South and Bound-In-The-Midwest. Well, the model (Rachel) and theme are along my preferences. However, Dave's interactions or those of his other model-stars is above those of the other studios mentioned. Rachel Adams even has her own studio where she creates her own custom works. However, none of these studios have been in the top running at C4S for long if they even make it to the Top 10 spot.

Yes, I am on Dave's forum but that is not the reason for lifting the man up like I have with my replies. I am here because his studios have my interest and my business due to the quality of work and service performed by all involved with the studios and productions. I have bragged on Dave at other forums I visit. Dave usually remains in the Top 10 in the Bondage and Forced Stripping categories at Clips4Sale unless he has not produced a video for a several days. That should tell others just how good his works are as compared to other studios.

Just as a side note, Beauties-in-Bondage is No 3 in the Bondage category and Forced2Please is No 2 in the Forced Stripping category at Clips4Sale.

You'll get no argument from me on what a great site we have here, though don't tell Dave, Natalie, etc. or they might get big-headed.

Across all studios and providers, I've been fortunate enough not to purchase many duff videos and so far all the customs I've commissioned have hit the spot for me. I do like to try a wide variety of the goodies out there, so I'm always on the look out for new studios, new models and these will come with an element of the unknown, an element of risk. I don't have to worry about that with Beauties-in-Bondage and they do have enough material in their existing catalogue to keep me going for years. It's no slight on their quality and quantity, that I still go elsewhere, too.

A good comparison is when you see these models working for other sites or themselves. I can't think of anyone whose work outside of B-in-B obviously outshines their performances here, though often there isn't a direct comparison, as this other work may be in a different genre or a different 'level'. I have seen a lot of Rachel Adams' recent work (including a number of custom commissions through her own site) and the quality of her videos holds up well, I think. I am a big fan, though, so tend to like her in anything!

I would say the organisation Dave and his team bring to the operation is an unsexy, but significant factor in their success and reputation. Shooting schedules tend to happen on time, releases are speedy and reliable, the new purchase store is easy to navigate and use, social media updates and this forum keep us in the picture on developments. For my particular priority in recent times, custom commissions are agreed, planned and executed in a manner that should be the gold standard for all producers. I've loved my customs from others, but the process is often haphazard and long-winded. That doesn't happen here!

Is that picture of Rachel saying 'hi' real? I must ask her if she could do one for me. I wonder if I asked very nicely, if Jasmine might do something similar for me...

That is a picture of Rachel giving me a shout-out! It is my avatar on many other sites. Not to brag or anything! Backstory: One studio I follow and purchase from quite often is AnuVids, run by a producer calling himself Anubis. He does not have the selections like Dave and his videos are more along the lines of yoga pants, sweat pants, handcuffs, gags, pulling down the pants and light spanking (more like soft pats / no marks), and cute struggling. He also runs a site called DiDVids which is mentioned on another topic as another site to visit. Well, I have gotten to know Anubis quite well from the videos I have purchased and the activity I help generate on his forum. I, by no means, am even near the top in number of posts nor cleverness as most of the other active members on that forum. After a shoot with a favorite model, Anubis will, usually, have give photo shout-outs to her fans and those who have commissioned her works. I was fortunate to get Rachel Adams. I have Astrid Brandt but I do not know how big a following she has at this time.

Certainly a nice picture of Rachel to have!
I'm not familiar with Astrid; must investigate.

Astrid Brandt is a new model with the industry. She does not have many videos with studios on C4S or with customs. However, she seems to be very energetic with her work and the stdio producer liked her well enough he had her give us a shout-out to introduce her more to us.

Having received another excellent custom video this week, I'd like to remind everyone out there why I think they might choose to take the plunge with a custom video from Dave and Co.

It's not that long ago that I decided I'd like to commission my own plot and action by way of a custom. There were of course lots and lots of studios clamouring for business and as a newbie, it was a bit bewildering and in some cases intimidating to venture down this road. Luckily for me, as soon as I contacted Beauties-in-Bondage, Natalie took my virtual hand and guided me through the process, helping me beat my rough plot into shape, pointing out what I couldn't do, suggesting what I could. Before I knew it there was a shiny new custom script waiting for Dave to work his magic.

My second stroke of genius (and when I say stroke of genius, I mean massive piece of good fortune) was alighting on Jasmine to star in this crucial first custom. I was aware of her work and liked her, but she was not an automatic selection by any means. Once picked though, Natalie got her to sign on the dotted line and away we went. The rest is a small part of bondage video history, I would venture.

Of course all Natalie's brilliance and Jasmine's talent wouldn't pay off without Dave and his team being able to produce, direct, film and edit the piece to get it on-screen. But they are able and they do, and have done so many times since on my behalf.

For me the whole process going alongside getting your vision into production has been great fun, too - choosing what you want to do, who you'd like to do it, overcoming potential obstacles, adding extra elements, then seeing it come to life. And then the team can look forward to your oh-so-entertaining thoughts on how it turned out, you can watch it soar up the best-sellers charts, plan your sequel, etc.

So if you are considering a custom video, I'd wholeheartedly recommend it, if you can afford to. Beauties-in-Bondage offer the best value around for doing so, in my opinion. If you like the sort of videos you see on their site, you will love seeing your idea up there too.

That is, almost, the exact process with my first custom. I contacted Beauties-in-Bondage and two other studios for my custom request. However, I only heard back from Natalie. No kidding! No word from the other studios at this time and my custom has already been setup, produced, and is now in the general video selection for Cadence Lux. Like GB2691 mentioned, Natalie is outstanding in guiding one through the process. I only heard back from Natalie and it involved a LOT of correspondence as the kinks were worked out. Dave and his team created a wonderful custom. I have, therefore, decided that Beauties-in-Bondage will be my go-to location for future customs.

On another note regarding this topic, I had requested a price quote from two other producers with multiple studios under their commands. This was at the same time I requested a quote from Dave for the same custom. Natalie was the only one who responded to my request. Dave hired the model and put my custom into a very well-done video. As of this time, I have still NOT heard back from the other producers.

If I am allowed, I can pass on who else I tried to contact for the same custom request that Dave & Natalie handled thoroughly.

I must have been fortunate in that I've only had one studio 'stop taking my calls', as it were, but almost all the other options I've pursued have on occasion been comparatively disorganised, unclear, dilatory, slow-to-respond, or in other ways found wanting, when set against Beauties-in-Bondage.

If you are able to build up a rapport with a studio or model by becoming a repeat customer, I think things can get easier, but not many of us have the wherewithal to spend big on that off-chance. If you are paying out several hundred dollars, it needs to work from the off. This was my experience - Natalie gave me all the information, guidance and attention I needed from day one and treated me like a valued customer before she'd seen even a cent of my money. I hope that respect given to me has been rewarded since then, but I could have been a complete timewaster, albeit a very charming one ;). Rather than the partial timewaster I turned out to be!
