Hairsational So there won't be any noticable changes then? Simsense will continue to book a lot of newer FL-based girls, Mack will continue to book inked girls with botox and fake tits, and Nash will continue to book more conventionally attractive LA-based girls?
SimsenseMedia has been absolutely killing it with castings, and aside from flagging down specific performers for him that are going to be traveling to FL, are brand new to an agency, are camgirls who reach out to us, etc., there's no sense in changing things. He is, however, shifting focus to include far more bgg+ content for AR/Passthrough.
It was mentioned here, but my understanding is that productions by Alex Mack are being lowered quite a bit, and this is an area where (as I hinted at originally) - communication around castings is and was a big area of opportunity.
Nash is once again planning to incorporate more bgg+ content in his releases, but in general I think most of us would agree that his casting choices have been consistently great over the years. But he often asks for casting & especially pairing suggestions, even if he doesn't have as much time these days to interact here on the forum.
And since we're always looking for new producers and directors, I guess only time will tell whether or not there will be any noticeable changes 🤷♂️
Jeef Can we get any kind of preview on what castings are in the books for the next few months or so?
Good question, which coincidentally we were talking about internally the other day. Do the folks in the community prefer to know what we have booked, even with the risk of disappointment with specific bookings falling through?
We were debating whether to continue announcing bookings, or whether to change it up to only announce it when performers have already been shot 🤔
LordCrash Can we tag casting suggestions for VR or AR?
It's pretty disappointing to suggest somebody when they are only casted for one of them and possibly the one you don't like yourself or don't even be able to enjoy.
Honestly, I have zero motivation to suggest anybody since the Anya Olsen thread...
You definitely can, but I think it would come down to what your expectations are tbh: if you (or anyone) suggest a performer, ask that they be shot for VR, but expect us to specifically avoid shooting them for AR/Passthrough even if the opportunity arises, I can tell you that won't happen and you are setting yourself up for disappointment.
But as I've mentioned in a few threads in the past: I don't think anyone here has the slightest issue with booking performers that have already been shot by SLR. I've never once heard any of our producers or team say "No, we don't want to shoot [insert name] because she already shot a scene with SimsenseMedia/Alex Nash/Alex Mack/etc.".
