Dastardly Dave

Here is to your health, Dave! I always hear about how the models fare but I never consider the artist, himself. Do not overwork yourself on our account. We all love what you provide for us!

And no more carrying those Bound & Gagged models over your shoulders.

It has been a very long time since I've done that!

What new upgrades and store plans have you got for us? Anything new going with the remastering of the old movies you produced? The current models keeping you too busy?

I have been doing less work in general. I can remaster some old videos, no problem with that. The problem begins with C4S, since nearly all of those older videos contain gun scenes, chloroforming scenes, models being tied up while unconscious, etc. It means I can never publish them on there, so I have to rely on sales in my own store. Those have been slow for some time, so let's just say I'm not highly motivated.

It's expected a bit we have had a Quiet spell of late Things should pick up shortly though with the return of Jasmine. I am all for remastering some of the back catalogue but could just be hitting some of them at the wrong time. Might be wrong but wasn't the last one taken from a past Christmas shoot.

Hello Daz. May I call you Daz?

The last one being... Bound Business Woman? That was recorded in the winter of 2009 with a model long gone from the business. The Santa hat in the background may suggest it was around Christmas time, but my wife likes to leave some stuff out for a really long time before and after the event, so it's hard to be sure. The outside scene was certainly gloomy enough though. Since the video doesn't contain a theme of any kind, I don't think that would affect anyone's response to it. But who knows, you may be wiser in the strange ways of the world than I.

[Dazroped]

You certainly can sir. Yeah it did throw me a little when I first spotted The Christmas theme on it. But of course without seeing the full video we really shouldn't take everything for granted I will keep a more open mind in future.

How is the new computer equipment purchases or upgrades coming along? Are there any new items ready to be installed yet?

I picked up the Mac Studio today. I've spent some time setting things up, but I did manage to get to a 4K version of Game Over. I didn't adjust any parameters and it turned out to be 3.8 GB. I've just uploaded it to Clips4Sale since that's the only place I'll publish these files, rather than fill up my server at a rapid rate of knots. It took about 5 minutes to render and the same to export, which is dozens of times faster than my old iMac. Promising.
