UKAP ADULT FILM & BABE AWARDS SHORT LISTED FILMS

[one eyed jack]

"If they had a category for the least tattoos or the non plastic titties category then perhaps people would take a serious interest"

Damn...There goes the AVNs then !laugh!

"The Brit industry now is largely made up of pretty basic girl next door types who are horribly out of shape with fake tits, hideous make up and terrible tattoos and just about any guy with a camcorder who wants to have his cock sucked"

Yes it certainly seems that way but over the years there are a few companies, PlayBoy, PureXXX, Kaizzen, Kendo Films, JoyBear, Harmony, Phil Barry, TVX, Viv Thomas and others who are commssioned to producing quality content of note

I don't see any harm in encouraging competition by stating these are the benchmarks a decent production should aspire to. If its the same guys every year then thats just how it is. Its not how we say it is.

Surely we should be lauded for trying to promote and stimulate activity in an industry fraught with problems the past year.

What you are describing only appears to be because of the onset of webcams an Adult Work which we embrace as legit contenders in the market place with the babe channels, SheBangs, Rampants and what not.

Some of the best and prettiest girls have emerged in recent years devoid of the stereotypical tats and plastic you allude to. The only way to encourage that is to do events like this

To not do an event at all is even worse

The way I see it is that the situation shows the lack of depth of talent in UK porn industry coupled with the financial situation there are very few paid shoots available but a lot of content shoots which when you add it to Adultwork etc there is a very loud message to be seen. UK porn has changed, it is not what it used to be and certainly not what some people think it is.

[Bodi]

Maybe a little late to submit an entry, my fault i know. May be a small fry but try to aim for good quality content.

Thats right UK porn as changed to survive. the States & Europe don't have to fight their governments like we do so its an unfair playing field to compare us with these countries who have a free hand to expand as they wish.

The nominated films & actors are a small percentage of the2500 people making porn in the UK but as there is no way of letting all these people know we will have to stick with what we got if we like it or not..

Give it a couple of years & there will be awards for best clips on Clips for Sale & AW, we were saying the other day to someone how films have shrunk from 90/120 mins to 20 mins....which was unheard of years ago.

As the DVD declines even more awards will have to be given on web sites & web clips or stick with a small minority still doing DVD.

Youre right Kim.

I can see a day when there will be an Adult Work Award for best solo scene etc Clips4Sale too, because the awards merely mirror what the current trends are of the time anyway.

Every business should celebrate their professions. Even plumbers with a plumber of the year. Employee of the month Its all to promote and stimulate competition and awards give people incentive to compete but even better for the business is the opportunity to network and make contacts to generate new work

On the other hand Kim the american haave got it much worse than us in terms of pressure. theve got the HIV cases to deal with, LA trying to force this Measure B issue on them. Contrary to what people think theyve got financial issues as well. they just dont oan about it as publicly as we do

A very prominent producer shrugged and sighed it off ast year at Venus....He ight be used to 20 million dollars a year but if he is making 10 million still means he has people to employ and movies to produce.

[Hitman]

Fair enough, i guess you are doing what you can.
May i suggest instead of going through a distributer to contact Viv Thomas's team you can contact them directly at Vivthomas.com

Webmaster Nick Spillum will answer your inquiries
his twitter account

The Viv Thomas team can be contacted here also

The funny thing is that playing the big I am on message boards like this you have actually started to believe your own bull. To compare the AVN to your daft little back street show had me laughing out aloud here. If your little group want to do something positive why don't you go out and find a few more girls with star quality like Paige Turnah and then actually shoot something people want to see?

Not really VintageTog because I have nothing to do with the awards per se other than promoting it so in that I support its endeavours and will zealously defend it. Thats the kind of guy I am

I see some people being proactive in the adult producing community. With you I see a faceless person behind a pseudonym behin a keyboard on a forum who hasnt done anything to promote the business outside of your own self serving interests.

Your turn...
