David Lord Crawford from Vengeance Entertainment replies April 21, 2006:
Japan was great and it is an amazing country. Jim Crawford, Allen Ma (owners on Vengeance Entertainment) and I landed in Japan on the 12Th, and got started with pre-production. There is a huge AV. market in Japan (They abbreviate it, adult video.)
The models can range from 3k a day up to 30k and sometimes 50K. As far as locations, there were great studios. The one we choose was great and the staff really helped me out on some of the wardrobe and transportation. And with transportation being one of the hardest aspect of shooting in Japan. Even the people that live in Tokyo need GPS to get around with out getting lost.
After the studios we looked at this old Japanese house. Rumor has it, it was 160 years old house. Without a doubt it had a great vibe. It had a great bathroom, a kind of sitting room, as well as a great traditional Tatani Room. Perfect for filming. We locked that location down for two days. We than chose a few more that would best suit our project and lock them down also.
We then went over the talent and figured out what scenario we wanted them in and then it was off to go shop for props and wardrobe. When I saw it I didn't believe it at first, but the subways are crazy. There are a million lines and nothing is in English. You have to find a special board that has English and even when you do it is impossible to figure out. You have to rely on the kindness of others to help ya out.
So we went to Akiabara, their electronic city. There is one store that is as big as Fry's, now add 6 levels to that. AMAZING! We hung out there and then went off to buy props. We stumbled into this one store that had everything. Stuff to hang on the walls, small stuff for countertops, and some cool outfits.
Next was going over to the Makeup artist, who was also a stylist and had tons of clothes and props. When it came to picking the kimonos they where very serious. Everything means something. The longer arm Kimonos are for married women, and the shorter ones are for the single gals. So when I wanted the long ones they insisted that was not right and we should have the smaller ones. With a little translation, we helped them to understand that that didn't matter to me, I wanted the longer ones cuz …..a) They looked better, more flowing and …b) the colors they had in those where better for the look of the movie.
All in all it was a good visit, if ya don't count the cat trying to attack me. Evil pussy! Soon our equipment, crew (MIKE D WHAT UP JACKPOT?), and Nick Manning arrived. Sergio was booked to go, Vengeance even bought him a ticket after he agreed to go. Then last minute…….. Flaked! Costing the Vengeance 1 plane ticket to Japan . We ended up having to hire 2 guys in Japan. They turned out to be pretty cool guys.
Now it was time to shoot. 10 shoot days total. I would say the only problem on the trip was the language barrier. The behind the scenes will be funny. Some thing like" David Lords' sort of gay pose off", due to the fact I had to show them how to do it cuz telling them wasn't working, even with a translator. They are not accustomed to shooting a lot of PG. ( 30 mins) So things just took longer ( 1 hr and 30 mins).
The sex was different in Japan. The girls make different noises, faces, and it was the first time for all of them take on western cocks, So you will get to see real Asian women getting a big western cock for the 1st time. The guys that we hired in Japan ----ed there brains out for us and it looked great. They did a great job, Nick really stepped up and killed it. He attacked it and pulled back when he needed to. Really all pro. Soon Nick left and Derrick Pierce and Cheyne Collins came in. Now Derrick had been there before, being a world champion fighter. Like kung foo ----. He is gonna kill me for forgetting what Ti Chi Do was, but got paid to come out and kick some ass. Both him and Cheyne did a great job.
I was lucky to have really strong talent and great scenes. The days off we went around Japan shooting b-roll and shopping. I was on the hunt for boobs (not a lot of luck but found a few). The country is beautiful and, the women are stunning. We got spun around more than few times, just walking by them,
Waw some great sites, made some new friends, and hung out with some old ones. The food was great (The best sushi I have ever had), the beer and sake was great . The country was gorgeous as where the women. If you want to see western guys with real Asian women you will love these movies from Vengeance.
