Taurus Films - Film Discussion

But i'll throw some shade onto myself as well....

I probably should have let your post have a chance to breathe before I interjected.

So you have my apologies

I should also acknowledge that a lot (possibly most) of these videos are commissions from people. People who do have specific requests to be seen and are not writing extensive dialog. There is a definite efficiency to "If this is what the customer wants, then this is what we shoot."

I am a big fan of short films, especially horror and sci-fi. Due to that, I am always keen on pacing to keep things tight and the story moving. Most short films are between 10 to 20 minutes so you cannot linger on something too long or give the watcher's eye time to spot a flaw.

Since I mentioned short films, a few recent gems I stumbled across. Not related to this genre but extremely well made:

Laboratory Conditions (starring Marisa Tomei and Minnie Driver)


The Dead Collectors (British horror comedy)


Skin and Bone (starring Amanda Seyfried and her husband)


Skin and Bone is the slowest but that is intentional since it is drawing heavily from the style done in the film The Witch. Laboratory Conditions could easily be a full-blown movie in my opinion. Like this is within the first 30 minutes of the film with the remaining hour being the carnage that is just about to happen as this short film ends.

Hello Steel blazer,  Would it be possible for you to say how much your commission cost you? I have a script for a film idea but I want to know what to expect in terms of price. If your not comfortable telling me on this public forum let me know and tell me how we could discuss this privately. Of course if you don't want to answer this at all, I'm fine with that too.

In recent years, while purchasing numerous TPS films, I've noticed that there is a lack of background explanation in the story.

Considering the increase in production costs due to longer runtime and retake caused by actors delivering background explanations through dialogue, I believe it's better to minimize dialogue. Instead, it would be great if actors could replace acting with background explanations or dialogue through subtitles.

I buy almost everyone and will likely continue to. I think its great, beautiful girls, effects have gotten better with the years. I admire what your able to do. I would echo the sentiments of a number of other comments, the dialogue. The villian should taunt them more, especially after they steal their powers. "Look at how weak you are", "oh does that hurt" when crushing their fist. "how does it feel to be drained and weak" " i feel so strong" just throwing a bunch of them out there. My only other comment is on male actors. I don't know much about production costs and things like that, I'm sure its expensive, and with the accents I know it's more expensive since its Britian. I would love to see a bigger, musclar male actor play Superman, and basically either lose his powers or get the crap kicked ouf ot him by Rose or a smaller female villian, to just dominate them with their own powers. I don't know the expense of actors or anything, so maybe its not possible, but just a suggestion. Keep up the good work, and I will continue to purchase. 

So I will react directly to this. First, I LOVE the actress who plays Lois in this series. I love her physique and I believe that the strength and power imbued in a superwoman should be reflected in a strong and powerful body. Second, the writing is pretty fun in most of Taurus' productions and I would say that was stepped up a notch here in the last Super Lois. I attribute that in large part to zenx007 with whom you often collaborate on your comics. He's good.

My only negative criticism really boils down to my personal preference. I prefer female vs male encounters. That's what I want to see. I am less a fan of female v female action and even less of a fan of "Superman or Superwoman in peril" content. So I am less interested in seeing a skinny guy in a Superman outfit (or any costume) getting beaten up or humiliated. To me, that emphasizes more the weakness of the male character as opposed to the strength and power of the woman.

I would rather see an overpowered woman (good or evil) overwhelm well trained, well equipped male characters (thugs or soldiers). In my opinion, that emphasizes and highlights the strength, power and dominance of a superior woman. That's why purchase TKS content ... not to see a weak, skinny guy in peril.

My $0.02 ...

I agree zenx007 is a great writer. I'm honored to work with him. MFMC would not be what it is today without his contribution to it.

But, this is 100% written by me. And I also do write stuff depending on the story without Zenx007... And some stories are more based on my stuff, and some are more based on his input around my stories.

And yes, I prefer male vs female too. I don't do too much female vs female. In fact when I wrote the scrit for the female vs female bits in the other super lois story. Those are the most sparse with notes. Mostly its just a few pieces of business with... Find something interesting and make it fun.

But, this film... There really isn't a female vs female scene. We faked it. Cos again. This was an expensive(for me) production. And we did all the tricks we could to make it affordable. And again. I don't think much more of a confrontation would have added to the movie. It's fine how it is and the rematch will be more of an F vs F story, but still with plenty of M v F action in it. That's where my heart is.



And other people wish a bigger supes... Well... not me... Not for this story. He's drained and the actor though has gotten into better shape and I'm like... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Good for him, but I'm like, I liked it when you were scrawnier and had a bit more belly! he never had big belly, but he is much trimmer and a wee bit more muscular now.

But, damn. Lois is much more jacked too!

In a perfect world. I'd like to do 2 more super Lois films. I got 2 good ideas.

And really... while not perfect. I tried to do something with them. I think sometimes I succedded and sometimes I failed. All in all with the series. I think it mostly works and mostly plays out as a nice little story.

My point on this was, I prefer not to have a Supes/Superman at all. When a Superman is involved, large or small/weak, getting beaten up by a superwoman, the story is then a "Superman in Peril" film or a "Superman Humiliation" film. We all have our preferences I am not interested in that genre of content.

I don't purchase TKS content to see "Superman/Male superhero Humiliation" films.  I purchase TKS content to see super-powered women (good or evil) perform FoS strength as they overwhelm (or dominate if you prefer that framework) men, their machines and weapons - a superior woman showing her superiority, the content TKS created from the beginning and for so many years now. No need for a superman for that in my opinion. It's a distraction from what I think should be the focus - the superiority of the women.

Again, we all have our preferences and the above describes mine.

Woah ! The ancient goddess costume is very successful and very sexy !

I have the impression that Amy can be dressed as a mechanic that she would look like a sexy Goddess 

The Audit

Top quality, doublelifts are amazing and seems you're working with new techniques on the lifts which are highly welcome from my part, great improvement.
Rose is doing a great job, hope to see more similiar videos.

Yes, Taurus Productions, great job!  You gave Rose some new super-moves.  Love the male athlete vs super-female action.  Rose’s beauty and performance is top notch as usual.  Keep up the great work!

Glad you guys enjoyed it and completely agree, Rose is great in this one

So I launched a campaign to get a custom film idea funded. Here is the link: www.indiegogo.com/projects/tks-metamorphosis/x/34952162#/
If you're interested, donate what you think you can donate. If not It's totally fine. This is kind of an experiment on my part. I want to see if I can fund all my custom ideas this way. At least until I'm in a position to fund them myself.
However if @tks has a problem with me doing this I will stop the campaign immediately. 

Have you seen the film "The Awakening" based on the Larafan short story of the same name? Very similar premise, but done as the short story "what if the formula / the power made her evil..."

Yeah I have seen that actually. It's been a while though. It is very similar but I hope that's not a deal breaker for anyone. Especially since there are some very distinct differences.

And before it was a great video it was a great story.

Let's hope fort Part II of BAD DEBTS with these powerhouses face each other. The new models are great.

Greetings from a long-time fan
I just LOVE these power transfer movies...
But to be honest...these last power transfer movies are not what I was hoping for!
These movies only work when you use a convincing villainess like Rose or Stella
My absolute favorite movie is 'Power Hacked'...absolute masterpiece!
Especially this last movie 'Responder'
Maybe it was her fiirst time but this new model doesn't convice as a supervillainess...
So stif and she almost doesn't say anything...
Not to nag but to encourage...I know you can do better!
Can't wait for the next release

Interesting….

I loved the new submission. As far as the actress being stiff, I think she can only work with the script provided.

Loved the scene where she spins around Supergirl and takes her costume.

But - why not offer more dialogue for the villain to say.

Simple dialogue,

“How do I look?”

“Looks better on me than you…. Don’t you think?” As actress shows off her profile.

“If you want your costume back, feel free to try taking it back”

These aren’t Shakespearean quotes….. so simple, but adds so much.

Cmon writers

Do better

As far as the actress is concerned- loved her

The new Portals movie is the best superheroine movie I've seen in a long while. EPIC super powered fights between 3 very hot actresses. LOVED the bits where the girls are thrown back against the wall by the blows in the fight. 

Thx Taurus and all involved - truly great work!!
 

Thanks as always for the replies and the feedback. Glad you’re enjoying the films and the new additions to the roster too.

Another instant buy

 

Totally agree. The latest release was a great addition to the TKS library 

Hope we get to see the new actress in future productions.

Peace.
