This isn't the first time I've experimented with video. I have a few art nude type videos up on Vimeo and a few hair brushing and foot fetish related videos between Vimeo and YouTube. To date, the foot fetish videos, with just one exception, have all been filmed in the tub with my cell phone. I've done a couple other videos similar to them showing other parts of my body and my face with my cell phone as well. I've done themed hair brushing and braiding videos. For example, I have one in a girdle skirt and a cardigan with pearls for a vintage feel. I've also done one that was just me in underwear brushing my hair. And finally, and first for me in terms of what I've filmed, are more artistic nude and lingerie videos of me doing this combination of slowly posing/dancing. Here is an example:
Many time I've run into the issue that 1) I can't post nude videos just any where and 2) In order to upload consistently as I would like to do, I really need to upgrade my Vimeo account. I also had a little creative hiccup where I was starting to drift a little bit from my personal goals and standards/limits. To be quite honest, I wanted to do things that I thought would garner me the most attention and the most views, and I think that is easily nude stuff. I was going to do a nude vlogging series. However, this again brings in the issue that I need more space on my Vimeo. I also feel that it would be taken as very sexual, even if I don't mean it to be.
So... after thinking about this way too much this weekend and really examining my goals, here is what I have decided to do:
1) More art nude videos like this: https://vimeo.com/86478562
2) More sensual lingerie and such like these two: http://youtu.be/12x3SI36kUc and http://youtu.be/MYk8oPXLjKA
3) A special hair brushing/play/etc project involving creating characters and scenes and so on.
4) More of the simple foot fetish videos I film on my cell.
5) A lingerie vlogging series.
Now before you pitch a fit and ask why I'm not doing the nudes as a vlog series, here is why: I can't post those confidently on YouTube and I cannot monetize them on YouTube. I don't want to post my videos on porn sites, so I need to create content that fits the guidelines of YouTube where I can monetize the content (via ads). I haven't had a lot of luck selling videos outside of specific types for Zivity sets. And I totally get why. There is a lot of nude video content that is free and I don't currently have a market of people who want to pay video by video to here me vlog about things. And as I said earlier, I feel like the fun part of vlogging and my personality and such might be overshadowed by the "OMG, she's naked! Boobs!" nonsense. I post nude photos all the time and I will keep doing nude artistic videos and all of the nude photos I can find to do. But really, I think I can make things fun and hopefully at least somewhat entertaining while wearing lingerie too. I don't have to be nude to be interesting, right? I'd like to explore some new styles, including non-nude work and I think this might be a fun way to do that.
With these videos, I will also be doing unboxing type videos from now on when I receive gifts from fans. I will thank you by name (unless requested otherwise) and when possible, I'll probably do a two part video. One part showing the items, and then another part trying it on. Since these will hopefully be YouTube safe, there won't be any nudity, though. I will still send each gift giver person of awesome a few cell phone photos of me trying the item on for the first time in my hallway mirror.
As far as the nude videos, those will all be going on Vimeo, along with any fetish videos (though YouTube safe fetish videos will go there as well). I am hoping that I can upgrade my Vimeo to Vimeo Plus which will allow me to enable something called Tip Jar which allows people to easily (I think) tip me for videos they like.
Oh, and for my Zivity fans, for a certain number of votes (to be decided, input welcome) I will do a simple, but very sincere thank you video probably hand-holding my phone and focused on my face. I am also planning to do more videos to go with sets as incentives for that.
So how can you help me with this endeavor if you want to? Lovely question ^_~ Here are the ways I can think of:
1) Help me upgrade my Vimeo. It costs $9.95 for a month, or $59.95 for a year. This upgrade will get me the Tip Jar function, but will also allow me to upload a lot more content (so more than one video per week). This is my top priority. Here is info on that: https://vimeo.com/upgrade1v2
2) Get me things from my wishlist that I can do unboxing videos on (which is anything on the list) or suggest items that you would like to see me have and be interested in getting for me. My wishlist (be sure to look on the left for categories): http://amzn.com/w/3IM2J0NK4WZ1L
3) Vote for my sets on Zivity. I generally use the money I get from Zivity to put back into my modeling either for make-up or wardrobe, unless I have a bill come up that absolutely must get paid first. You can see my Zivity sets here: https://www.zivity.com/users/Dekilah
If you want to chat with me about this, you can PM me on Facebook or e-mail me at dekilah@gmail.com. I am open to ideas for videos within the themes I mentioned too ^_^ I hope you guys will be as excited about these new and continued ideas as I am telling you about them!
