I have to offer my take on things. I got the clip and note the thing is about 4 minutes long and costs 4 bucks. I've seen the production work before and know there is a lot of effort put into these clips. I mean count the editing cuts and some of the sound effects of the previous works. Even if it is average, hey I'm out 4 bucks. There's been lots of times where I've gotten something I thought would be great and it's 10,11, even 15 bucks or more! And have they really ever lived up to what I hoped? Very rarely. What isn't rare however is the fluff that is packed into the clips. Like how the whole damn thing should have been edited from 15 minutes down to 3 and they should have renamed the thing Ishtar 2. The clip I got most recently looked moderately promising and I gave it a try. Expectedly I think I got what I paid for and I wouldn't be fair to classify it as poof growth. There was 2 stages with the latter qualifying for poof, but the first one didn't. I'm also thankful that the growth that wasn't presented was drawn out into a 5 minute sequence of the actual growth that was shown and intermixed with 80% bad ad-lib. Causing me to say "shit! I just forked out $10 for something that would fairly be sold for $4!" Plus I found the actress to be pretty attractive, she showed some chest (hard to come by) and I appreciated the fresh and professional camerawork and editing style.
I think to generalize things, I'm happy that the bar is being raised in my eyes as it can only benefit the consumer and squeeze out bad work. Some of the stuff lately that has floated around has admittedly dulled my taste for crap to the point of "shit the clip has a shiny cover, but I've been down that road and I'll wager that shiny quarter is really a rusty nickel." I give credit for efforts waged by the few producers we have in the genre, and if there is talent and hard work mixed in I'll give them business.
