SP change log - Shoot Producers rule, ok?

This change log notes changes to information for Shoot Producers.

Made new Fetish Finder page, Front Panties XCU. This spec tightens up what’s required: select a “feature” of the panties, be very close to it, and capture it not square-on.

01 May 2023

Refined existing Fetish Finder page for Areola XCU, with accurate stills and video examples (this was previously called “Nipple XCU”, but we learned that the word “nipple” does not include the areola, and this XCU should include both the nipple and the areola). The spec has been modified to include all of the areola and nipple being in the shot.

Made new Fetish Finder page for Must Have: 07: In panties, wide, providing clear guidance for what is expected for stills and video components. There has been a policy change, that the model may wear no clothing other than panties for this Must Have.

28 Apr 2023

Added a new page to Fetish Finder, for the “Bum in panties CU” Must Have. Logging in to Homonoia is required to access this, on a smartphone or desktop / laptop. Terms and requirements clarified, but no significant changes requirements.

Added details of a new “anti-fetish” – models with leg hair.

Small changes to Location Referral Policies and simplefilmlocations.com.

Proposed Location Agreement is one page instead of two pages now (content remains the same, layout has changed)
Added a no smoking policy to the Will there be drug use? FAQ. Note that non-smoking Location Owners will not be satisified with someone smoking “out the window”, as the fumes blow right back inside! We recommend not risking it.

18 Nov 2022

Made a new model-facing FAQ, What about anal insertions? This formalises our previous “verbal policies” on anal content in shoots.

14 Nov 2022

Made new model-facing FAQ, When would I NOT be paid?. All of the reasons a model would not be paid for a shoot are in the control of Shoot Producers, so this is essential reading for SPs.

(minor updates) Who are The Collective?
(minor updates) What on-set situations am I required to notify The Collective about?
(new) When should I not contact The Collective?

16 Sep 2022

Model-facing: How much lube can we use?

Clarify how important it is that L4 shoots are radically different from L3 shoots, with some examples
Indicate that SP’s are encouraged to challeneg the status quo, push boundaries, and that the company will not penalise them for going “too far” in this regard (but they may receive feedback to “reel it in”).

09 Sep 2022

Policy on Shooting Outside bonus has been changed – now €100 per shoot that is made comlpetely outside (not all Shoot Types are included). Removed from this policy is;

HWB policy changes

HWBs were always required to be checked by SPs before models depart the set, but it was never a written policy. Now it is!

Models are no now longer allowed to write their “other names” or handles in HWB’s (eg, OF, Twitter, reddit, etc).

07 Sep 2022

Set standards around Copyright and Trademarks when making abbywinters.com shoots.

15 Aug 2022

Level 3, refined pass/fail for Personal Props. Removed distinction of different types of props (General, Personal, Sexual). refined definition to be “Several props are naturally integrated throughout the shoot narrative adding to the shoots realism and interest. Props are always Actively used.”

04 Jul 2022

Clarified how Posing Level % and Must Haves shot are averaged out between Stills and Video, for Level 3 shoot assessments. See the How does Solo Level 3 work? FAQ, “L3 Basic Requirements” section for more info.

20 Jun 2022

Revised the Level 3 shoot quality and assessments required to move to Level 4. A simpler plus-and-minus points based system, instead of 10-in-a-row and resetting to 0 for a shoot that does not meet any of the Level 3 requirements, SP’s earn a point for a shoot that meets the requirements, lose a point for a shoot that has significant missing elements, and may earn zero points if the shoot has minor issues. However, a shoot that does not meet the basic requirements does reset the counter to zero.

This change makes it less-challenging for Shoot Producers to advance to Level 4.

See the How does Solo Level 3 work? FAQ, “Advancing from Level 3 to Level 4” section for the full details.
