Filming Zoo

[IdkWhyMe]

So I understand that making money or having a monetary incentive is shunned upon when talking about zoo, but on the other hand what about passion projects. Something I was Interested in was filming zoo content but not for money but more for the love of zoo. Now I can see how people can get a bad taste in there mouth, and even more so for suggesting the idea. Now for the but, I just really like the idea of filming and not a lot of people have access to good cameras, other then mainly phones, but I think having this would be a nice touch.

I also understand that maybe this might be frowned upon just by being a 3rd party filming no matter if there’s money or not.

I’m just curious on peoples positions of this idea

It's too risky for the "actors" and the other people directly implied, plus it's not well seen by a lot of people.
It's often said it's not worth the risk

It is risky. People get arrested all the time. There was female who just got arrested.

I mean there’s always people like @Jackal404 who posts videos of him and his boy, he dosent specifically ask for money but saying if you want the production quality to go up, then money will solve the issue. I see no problem supporting something I believe in, especially if he’s actually there for his and his dogs pleasure and not money.

Just for the info: i also use a phone camera of a pretty old generation Samsung but the quality of the videos mainly gets put down by traffic and data size - also light is a very important factor. Good lighting is essential for videos far more than an epic camera equipment.

I've had people support me in getting better light-equipment. Thata correct.

Also, the raw data of my videos are about 10-12gb i doubt that anyone would want that here so they have to be downsized. Transfering those in other ways is a little bit of a hassle so i try to avoid that most of the time.

And no, i'm not asking anyone for money here.

But if anyone WANTS to support me, hell who am I to deny their generosity? [:

I like the idea of it, and think I would want to do it myself at some point.
But as others have mentioned there are huge risks involved depending on where you live, and like anything else on the internet, once it is out there, you cannot take it back in anyway.

I have a burning desire to be filmed, a ζοο model

Shunning is not really about making money out of zoo action, but about making films *for* a benefit. The later enters business models, interests and ultimately... forcing things.

The way you ask it, I think you already feel that, right?

Also, the answers here are on this line.

Third parties filming. No big concern as it is a reliable friend that feels zoo in the same way, (but might just be my personal feeling.)

Apart from that, there is all the rest of issues. Privacy and security concerns, payment options, piracy... and so. Not really worth.

Some people, myself included, really enjoy “performing” for the camera. Whether alone, with people or animals. I find it highly pleasurable.

As in all areas of life others see it as a commercial enterprise, that’s their business. I do it for pleasure

Wouldn’t it be just like if someone recorded it with a phone, except with a higher quality. Also it never has to show faces, But I understand what you mean

That is true in a sense of lighting, a lot of people don’t give enough credit to it, I’ve been wanting to get into making short-films and I think that’s where this overlaps, not making a movie about zoo but more so something to get my foot in the door. Because being a non-owner and not a woman kinda feels like there’s no room so this is where I thought that I could benefit others.

But looking at it like that kinda makes it look transactional, which isn’t what I really want to go for. To me I’m someone who just likes filming, almost like it would be the oh I know a guy who shoots for free, obviously not stuff like weddings and other stuff but beast content and I feel it would be a nice way to meet people without having the other things, again not being an owner or female.

Yeah I’m a data hoarder so I don’t mind it on my end but again like you said others might not like that.

But I guess it is right to say I do get something out of it, 1. Being able to record beast content 2. Being able to be introduced to others 3. It is sexually stimulating for me.

Is that bad, am I trying to justify something that shouldn’t be, because it could be seen as sexually transactional, (sexually transactional being in the film myself or just off cam as mutuals) or if that wasn’t the intent and filming is the top priority and the other thing wouldn’t really be thought of as more so an after thought. Or is all this just a bad way to even think of?

But I do like how the thought of throwing you a couple bucks isn’t seen as sinister or malicious, also sry for wall of text

While things are clear for everyone, it looks fair.

I do not know if someone will have an interest, but having something to give back to an owner is quite a difference from 99% of contact ads.
