I have a really good excuse for not being around much lately: JT and I have started our own production company!
We've wanted to get into producing Superheroine videos for a long time and we've finally taken the leap!

I'm just gonna go ahead and ask a bunch of questions regarding Superheroine videos; feel free to answer as many or as few as you want. Any opinions you guys have are greatly appreciated!
The only ground rules are: No sex, no nudity, the girls always win, and most of all, NO PERIL OF ANY KIND! (We're never gonna budge on that)
1. What's the most important thing you look for when deciding whether or not to buy a Superheroine video.
2. What price range are you comfortable with? ($1 per minute?)
3. How important are costumes?
4. What superpower do you want to see most? (Super strength, heat vision, etc.)
5. Is there any one thing that would make you NOT want to buy a video?
6. How important is the story when purchasing a video? (Would you rather just see action?)
7. Are you more interested in a continuing series, or stand-alone videos?
8. Do you prefer to see Superheroines fighting each other or regular people?
9. Would you define your love of Superheroines as a genuine fascination with super-powered woman, or something more of a fetish?
10. Are you interested in fan-driven stories?
11. What site do you think produces the best Superheroine videos? (The Superheroines, Kick Ass Kandy, PSW, etc.)
12. Are you more in to good girls or bad girls?
13. Are you interested in "bonus" content? (Photo sets, behind the scenes clips, etc.)

1. To be honest I tend to buy on a feeling basis, so I can't really help you here
2. 1$ a minute seem to be the reasonable price as far as I know
3. A while ago I started to skid away from classic costumes (i.e. lycra/spandex stuff) in fouvr of more heavy duty and semi-realistic costume. I still like a old style costume done right, but it's not a deal-breaker
4. Powers aretricky business, the usual Kryptonian stuff is a time-tested classic that would work most of the time, but I would liek to see you going behind that and trying something different
5. Excessive gratuitous cruelty, it's simply pointless for me
6. The story is key, an action only video is meaningless
7. I would much prefer a continuing series, if possible, with some stand alone tossed in on a regular basis to help the pace
8. Whatever the plot dictates, if it's a good plot
9. I think it's more fascination, although sometimes it skid in the fetish territory
10. In my experience fan-driven story tend to go south very fast, unless there's a strong central control, but I would love to be fan-written stories
11. I think PSW
12. Neither and both, I prefer to judge characters based on their motivation and characterization, rather than the general good vs evil meter. Since I know that you've played Mass Effect, I think that my meter is more on the Paragon/Renegade scale
13. Not so much (mostly because of wallet concerns)

9. Any forum rules?

Yep! Foremost is be respectful and courteous to your fellow members. It amazes me how many douche bags lurk behind IP addresses. Just be fucking nice, people! Anyone being a total a-hole will be warned and then subsequently banned. Don't mind good discourse and conversation, but keep it civil!

Also, being a very 'specialized niche', there isn't so much content out there. In our space, there are a handful of pay-content providers like the Steeles and ProjectSuperwoman (see links section), that help to fill that void buy producing content for purchase. Please do not cannibalize their content by reposting it here without their permission. Support them or don't support them, but at least respect them!

1. What's the most important thing you look for when deciding whether or not to buy a Superheroine video.
Her looks and outfit and the types of powers she displays.
2. What price range are you comfortable with? ($1 per minute?)
That's fine by me but I just hope the episodes aren't longer than 10 mins each release.
3. How important are costumes?
Very. Superheroine costumes are great but I much rather see sexy leather type costumes and high heels.
4. What superpower do you want to see most? (Super strength, heat vision, etc.)
Super strength, speed, hearing and sight á la Bionic Woman, pleeeeease
5. Is there any one thing that would make you NOT want to buy a video?
Lots of blood and gore
6. How important is the story when purchasing a video? (Would you rather just see action?)
Somewhat but mainly the action
7. Are you more interested in a continuing series, or stand-alone videos?
Lean towards stand alone but in the end it doesn't matter that much
8. Do you prefer to see Superheroines fighting each other or regular people?
Want to see props added in films and see the girls wrecking other things besides people
9. Would you define your love of Superheroines as a genuine fascination with super-powered woman, or something more of a fetish?
It's definitely a fetish
10. Are you interested in fan-driven stories?
I'd love to contribute as a fan! I draw ya know
11. What site do you think produces the best Superheroine videos? (The Superheroines, Kick Ass Kandy, PSW, etc.)
I made most of my purchases on Kick Ass Kandy which is odd since there really aren't feats of strength in there videos but they do have hot ass kicking girls that I bionically enhance in my video editing software I also love The Superheroines films. They have a legion of hot women working for them and great production values. I also like Bluestone Films but HATE the violence against the girls in the films. Again they have amazing actresses.
12. Are you more in to good girls or bad girls?
BOTH!
13. Are you interested in "bonus" content? (Photo sets, behind the scenes clips, etc.)
That's cool. Selling other stuff at a cheaper price point can bring in more cash flow for the site.

• The obscene amount of money Giga are able to spend on each of their productions (judging by their web site and production blogs) suggests there's a big market for superheroines in Japan -- but how to break into it..? (Would non-adult videos sell?)
• (I've spoken of this with Random of PSW...) television is slowly moving onto internet platforms like Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV and Roku, that deliver on-demand streamed video to your TV. Some of these, like Amazon and Roku, are open to anyone to develop a 'channel'. It wouldn't take much to have a subscription or pay-per-view based "Superheroine TV" channel on Amazon or Roku that delivers non-copyright-infringing content (eg, no "Supergirl" or "Wonder Woman") from one or multiple producers. As the usage of these smart-tv boxes grows in future, this might bring superheroine fan video to the attention of a mainstream audience that might not otherwise see it. (???)
