Re: TMC Werewolf?

Audience size here isn't really the issue. Stop for a minute and think about the kind of transformations we've seen for Werewolves. Most of the best ones came about almost 30 years ago! American Werewolf in London and The Howling series of course are probably the two big ones everybody remembers. Now you look at the stuff we get coming out now. CGI with some morphing (remember Darkwolf?) or sometimes just piss poor acting with piss poor rubber suits (Rage of the Werewolf springs to mind).

Think also about the time and effort it takes to do these types of transformations and do them in the way I believe most people want to see them done in: Rick Baker style American Werewolf in London prosthetics with pulsating backs, spine pops, hair growth, claws, teeth, ears, the whole nine yards. Now think about who Rick Baker had helping to make it all happen. Hell it took like 4 guys just to get the fake arm and hand cast, let alone wired up with effects to make it stretch and grow claws. Now think about what Taylor and Bud do. They're low budget and they have four or five people at the most helping them and in many cases it's just Taylor, Bud and their editor.

Now take all that and try to find any special effects artist as good as can be thought of, somebody most likely nowhere near Rick Baker's status, and ask them to come do effects for a three person crew that does porn fetish movies. I really doubt anybody that would want their work to be shown to a group of people wants their name attached to a porn shoot that just happens to have a hot actress turning into a Werewolf, good or not.

To get something like this off the ground, you'd have to start by gathering a following large enough to pool enough resources to get 90% of the clip made right off the bat. What I mean is, you'd have to have people build all the props you want, make them look great and work correctly out of the box, or be able to pay somebody a LOT of cash to overlook the fact that they'd be doing something in the porn industry. There's a lot of things going on in the background here besides them just "not wanting to do it right". Believe me, I want to see them do transformation videos as much as any of the rest of this forum, and I've sent them ideas, scripts, storyboards and stuff to assist them in making a vision of stuff like a Werewolf Transformation come true. They DO want to do it, they can't wait to get the pieces to fall into place, but there's an assload of pieces and getting them to come together, even if they had access to the best special effects people in Hollywood, is a daunting task. Hell even well supported projects like Freeborn seemed to die off just as fast as they showed up.

Anyway, sorry for the wall of text, but please realize that things like Transformation clips are rare and the good ones rarer still. If this is to come about, I don't think Taylor and Bud could settle for less than the best they could do, but that "best" would have to be damn good to please us slavering people on The Process, and until that time, we'll just have to be patient and wait for the lightning to strike. Keep the faith friends. <3!
