Models ''not turning up''

[belfast_birty]

I have decided to take a new tack on this.I forward half of a ?50 note to the said lady.If she turns up for the shoot,she get's the other half,plus whatever fee has been agreed.This works well in Eastern Europe with USD 100 bills,and has certainly reduced the number of ''no shows''.Costly(a bit) but practical.

I dont understand no shows-if you agree to everything discussed,whats the problem with a quick call or email to say something has arisen,giving you the opportunity to either reschedule,or get someone else (where possible)...You maintain integrity,and can always still work together,as opposed to uncomfortably avoiding each other... !wink! x

Errrr, or if said girl doesn't turn up, instead of her just wasting your time, you've lost ?50 too.

There'll always be timewasters. It's part of the job and as a producer i've heard all the excuses in the book. Don't waste your money too birty.

I usually have a good wank first...

I send the girl approx half my semen in a little sealy bag, and I promise she can get the rest of it up her twat... When she turns up...



Seriously.. As Lara says... (With just a 'Little' experience... )
You ar'nt re-inventing the wheel... Your just being a dick, and loosing ?50 !!!!!!!!!!

SO... Lets talk logically... Whatever you offer to pay the girls... ADD ON ?50.00

Watch them turn up in droves !!!

But either way, you lose the cash.
At least if she's a no-show (before the change of policy) you were just out one model - now you're out one model and down a fifty.

Try the old tried-and-tested webmasters curse.
"Thou shalt never work in this town again, now get ye hence painted harlot!"
Works fine for me - I mean it actually does fuck-all but god-dammit I feel better for saying it.
!grin!

[Daz Savage]

Yep - but they still happen... on an all-too-regular basis.

!grin!!grin!!grin!

I was assuming it was a one on one shoot i.e tog (you) and the model in your place. Not a full on crew and cast of 5 in a stately mansion.

No need really to name and shame. Just see it as that that's the way the biz runs in this country.

In other countries we've shot in we have never had one no-show and if a girl was 'ill' on the day, the agent replaced the girl immediately and the shoot still started on time!!!!

A small reminder - I allow "no show" etc comments on AIR.

A girl gets a few of them, and she gets booted. (Meanwhile they are up there to be seen).

Models - there is a ukproducers area where idiot/dangeropus togs can be discussed as well.
