Wetlook World Forum

There is no doubt that technology advancements have made huge leaps today.....but the real question is, has the nature of the content and the creativity of producers improved, or has it all become too mundane and too "manufactured" today. Are producers creating "filet mignon" or are they mostly producing jhamburgers like McDonalds......wetlook for the masses.

I can't give an objective opinion on all this, seeing as I am one of the people guilty of producing thousands of hamburgers over the years. I will say this......as a producer there are less than 20 ways of getting wet (methods), and less than 20 different kinds of water locations, and regarding clothing styles there are only 2 main styles (formal and casual) and within that group there are less than 20 differeent fashion styles. This all means than any wetlook producer who shoots more than 100 wetlook videos will eventually find himself repeating the same style again. Many times the repetitive nature of wetlook is deliberate, because that happens to be the personal preference of that producer....which is fine. Many pop stars don't make music to please their fans, they make music to please themselves, Same with all the great painters...i.e.Leonardo da Vinci did not paint a gloomy miserable girl in the Mona Lisa the way he did in order to please the general public.I am sure he would not have changed his painting if somebody said to him "can't you paint a beautiful girl with a smile, instead of painting a plain girl who looks miserable".

Ironically today most Youtube creators are more creative today than most of the Wetlook Producers are....and that is largely forced upon Youtube creators by the advertising sponsors. It is clearly stated in the Google monetization rules that in order for a Youtube creator to monetize their channel, they must meet certain rules imposed by Google's advertising company called Adsense. And one of the top Adsense rules is that you channel must contain unique and creative content, and your content must not be "repetitive".....e.g. they say that if your Youtube channel contains loads of clips where every clip follows the exact same patten...e.g. Girl gets Wet....is a pattern. But that is basically what a fetish video producer does, he always makes the same kinds of videos following the same repetitive pattern..i.e. girl gets wet. Those 3 words encapsulate the entire wetlook genre.,,,but that is a disqualifier per Youtube monetizaion rules. So that is why Youtube creators who make wet scenes are far more creative than non Youtube wetlook producers....because Youtube producers must avoid being repetitive, while Fetish wetlook producers can just make wetlook like a factory assembly line churning out hamburgers.

Wetlook producers today cannot distinguish themselves from the pack when it comes to cameras, methods, wardrobe  and locations....because every producer today has the same access to the same kinds of cameras, methods, wardobe and locations. The only way a producer can be a trailblazer is by having unique models who create their own cult following, using unique props that no other producer uses, and creating very unique scripts and scenarios. An obvious example of a producer who excels in all these aspects is Leon at Mostwam.....but it takes a tremendous amount of effort to produce \that kind of media. Gone are the days when you could simply film a girl taking a bath.....that is passe today and the wetlook fans crave more creativity and not mundane bath scenes.

Back to the original question - has wetlook media gotten better or worse today. I would say that today most of the creativity lies with Youtube creators, and that is because monetization rules punish Youtube creators if they are repetitive with their videos, so they are forced to avoid being repetitive or else Google de monetizes their channel. Non Youtube producers are Fetish Producers...and the entire nature of fetishism is to find your niche and then be as repetitive as you want to be. There is no right or wrong way to create wetlook. The main objective is for a producer to have fun and please himself, and if the fans like his style that is cool,, and if not then there are plenty of producers and custom video models who will cater to your preferred style.

It works both ways regarding the older generation of wetlook fans and the new wave of younger wetlook fans. There will be many things the youngsters may not like about the wardrobe fashions used by older wetlook producers. Likewise there are many things that old timers like me do not like about today;s fashion trends too...e.g. in my case, I am not a fan of giant sized tatoos all over the arms and legs and backs of some of the models we hired in recent years. Call me an old fuddy duddy because small tats on the ankle are fine but when a model has most of her arms and legs covered in black and blue ink....then I put the girl in jeans and a long sleeved sweater to cover them up, because large tatoos are a distraction for me. I am not alone with this thought....e.g. when Pamela Anderson was on Baywatch she used to spend hours ever day in the make up room having her tats covered over with makeup to hide them...because the producers on the show did not want to see them on the show.

We all "evolve" our tastes as we get older. Trust me.....after you shoot your first 100 models and 1000 scenes , you will become totally "desenstized" to wetlook as you used to like it. It all becomes totally mundane and so you end up looking for other forms of wetlook to interest you instead.....e.g. these days I am more interested in watching Cambodian fishing girls.,...than hiring professional wetlook models.
