As the smoke clears the two cops go in search of the rest of the gang with orders to shoot to kill. Good luck with these two lousy shots. They finally swing back around to the warehouse and find Stevie, Carmen, and Sammi, trying to escape with all the loot, and they start firing on them. The two groups exchange rounds as they are pinned behind a metal lift, and the girls behind a motorcycle. Countless rounds fly through the room and hit everything but flesh as they shoot towards each other. After several misses, Veronika’s gang comes up from behind to ambush the entire group. When the 3 hot killers come around the corner they open fire and shoot the cops in the back, the two officers fall to the floor dead. The ruthless gang steps on the cops, shoving them aside to get a better position behind the big steel lift. The 6 girls let it all out, the first bullet to land a blow grazes Carmen’s arm. She yells in pain but quickly gets back to short bursts with the M-83, keeping the other gang pinned behind the lift. Samantha is crazy and runs out into the open wielding a Mac-11. At the same time Sammi rushes at her shooting her silenced pistol landing a shot in Samantha’s belly. She screams in pain still trying to fire her weapon as she runs out of ammo for the Mac. She takes two more rounds to the breasts as well as a hot one above her tit, near the collarbone. Samantha goes to her knees gasping, wrenching in massive pain from the multiple rounds. She jerks and heaves and blood leaks from the holes in her sexy body. She goes to the floor, blood seeping from her mouth, twitching, with spasms, until she is done.

Sammi looks down after the swap of hot lead and realizes she took one in the belly, at this same time she takes 3 more bullets to her chest. She is astonished and blood pours from her mouth as she stares with disbelief. She even tries to pick up the empty gun again to get a few more off before she dies, but doesn’t realize that she is out of ammo. It is too late, she is done for and after crawling towards Samatha, she falls to her death. After her lovely body is examined with body pans, as the action insues, Lena rushes at Carmen saying, “It ends here bitch”. She puts two rounds in Carmen’s right breast. This stuns Carmen as she stumbles to find ground, with the empty M-83. She falls to her knees, grabs Sammi’s empty gun, and tries to fire. She stands but then falls back into the Hair dryer chair against the wall. The tough broad jiggles and jerks as she goes into dead land. Pow Pow! Stevie lands two shots on the defenseless Lena, one in the gut and one in her upper thigh. Stevie hit an artery so the blood pumps out of Lena’s leg and she tries to make herself stand, but looses footing and slides to the floor. She bleeps from her guts, leg, and mouth as she expires with some twitching, hip bucks, and a classic stare to finish.

Then there were two! Stevie feels confident that she will prevail, seeing as she has a half full clip left, and Veronika, with her 357 six shooter needs to reload. Thinking she has timed it right by counting shots fired to make a break, Stevie grabs the drugs and cash and heads to the exit. Veronika is a sneaky one though and has 3 rounds stashed in her gun. She gives Stevie one to the belly as she crosses in front of Veronika. She fires her last round at Veronika, landing it right in her navel. Veronika lunges backwards from the impact. She screams in pain, but looks up at Stevie and her spent pistol and says, “ha, out of ammo”? “Rookie mistake”, and shoots two red hot rounds to Stevie’s chest hitting the target square. Stevie hits the door, sliding down the wall and hitting the floor. She starts to moan and cry in pain. Her legs twist and twirl around and she bucks her hips so high that you lose sight of everything but her perfect crotch and ass momentarily before you see blood dripping from her mouth. She finally dies twitching and slumped, spread eagle against the front door.

Veronika has a gut wound but is still alive as she walks to her nemesis and grabs the duffle back full of contraband and cash. She turns and walks towards the back door, but stops to deliver the final line in a smug way. “Well, I guess you could say this Boutique is closed”. As she is finishing her cocky comment, Alex raises his gunhand and sends his last bullet directly into Veronika’s sternum. She yells in pain, hitting the floor and giving the best death performance (I have ever seen) well next to the one Samantha does a few minutes prior, haha. As the smoke clears we see the entire boutique, dead on the floor, from every angle with a focus on each body.

I MUST ADMIT I LEARNED MORE FROM THIS PROJECT THAN ANY EVER. I FOUND MYSELF GETTING CAUGHT UP IN THE SCRIPT, WHICH CAN DISTRACT ONE FROM WHAT HE IS BEST AT. I THINK THIS IS A GREAT PIECE AS FAR AS LOW BUDGET MOVIES GO AND WORTH EVERY PENNY! ENJOY THE FAST PACED SHOOT EM UP WITH LONG DRAWN OUT DEATH SCENES AND BODY VIEWS.

THANKS AGAIN, CHRIS

Just got Boutique 2 and it is terrific. Just as Chris describes in detail above all the girls do great jobs of portraying their death by hot lead. The warehouse is turned into a slaughterhouse. Samantha is just so gorgeous and her dying throes are so sexy and the pans of her sprawled body in pantyhose could only have been better had she worn none. After Lena is hit and is bleeding from her arterial wound in her thigh I thought her convulsing was so real it was amazing. Sweet Stevie, who I had not seen before, is so cute and did a great acting job and as Chris described Veronika's dying act after her chest wound was something to see indeed. Having read all the posts I know a lot of time and effort went into putting this film together by multiple producers and Chris having to edit the hundreds of gunshots and multiple wounds. I hope many will purchase this film and encourage this kind of exciting multiple girl massacres. I'm sure glad I did as it has to rank as the best multiple girl shootout since Diamonds & Death. Thanks to all who put this film together

Tender, that's a great review, and right on target, I think! And the most important thing is your request that people buy the piece so that good producers can afford to make special multi-girl productions like this. You are SO very correct.

I don't think most of our community realize how difficult the financial end of this is. Chris was really pushed to the limit from the cost of eight great girls, two cop actors, a make-up, wardrobe and special effects assistant, plus food/drink/blood/extra guns, and a host of smaller expenses. Then there's the rental of the location for the day. And then the 40% that is taken off the top by NicheClips and TPAP for their website, credit card and "marketing?" expenses.

[tommygun]

BREAKEVEN: The average production these days is lucky to get 100 sales. What's the breakeven sales volume on something like Boutique? Pay ten actors an average of $300 per person, that's $3,000. Add the supplies, props, locations, wardrobe expenses, etc and you are now in the hole -$4,000. And that's before any allocation of your costs for cameras, computers and softward to produce the piece. What's missing? The hours of editing: suppose you were to pay yourself $50 an hour for organizing, shooting and editing (a fraction of commercial editing charges). Something like this takes way more than 75 hours, closer to 100 in fact. That's at least another $3,500, so $7,500 in total.

Chris then released the material in two parts, for a total of $40. But the NicheClips subtraction of 40% brings that down to $24 if people buy both parts. Dividing the $7,500 by $24, Chris needs to sell 300+ of both parts to break even and get some money to pay his personal rent, food, clothing and other living expenses.

I know the purchase of these films is a drain on everyone's budget. But the reality is, the market is so very small, each of us has to support the producers every month if we want this to go on, and to have good quality material. Blue made the same request the other day regarding the cost of this very website. We've got to buy the material to have this great secret of ours survive!

[Chris B]

First off thanks to Tenderflesh! You always buy my stuff no matter what and let the audience know what to expect. That is a very special customer. Thanks so much for your time and financial input! You are one of the reasons I can continue to make films at all!

Wow! That is a great breakdown tommygun! You are right on the money sir.

The actual breakdown for Boutique is:

$5650 total cost of production (liquid cash)=

1) Model fees:(mainly day rates) x 8(Some had special rates previously brokered )

2) Actor Fees: Yes I pay them! I do believe actors should get paid if they can deliver!

3) Travel: 2 models drove from Seattle
1 by train from Seattle
1 From Salem

4) Wardrobe: Some like to Goodwill shop..I do not. I hit: Ross, Marshalls, TJ max, Forever 21, Gen X, etc..and get new, clearance or sale clothing(Cost a few dollars more but so worth it) New clothing gives the model a great feeling. Who doesn't love playing dress up, especially when it still has the tags? That gives the ladies a little pep in their step and they know they look good in front of the lens. Worth the extra $100 total.

5) Location Fee: This location was a good deal, for all the space, but also cost a few bucks. The 8 hours we spent there was worth the $350.

6) Fuel: Gas is so expensive I had to add a couple of receipts from this production. At the time we had to cars(The 91 Caddy and 96 Suburban) both took premium. Three days before the shoot the Caddy went down, and we knew we needed a second rig to pick travelers up, including tommygun when they arrived, and to run last minute errands, so we rented an economy car at a commercial rate which was cheap, but an expense nonetheless. I split the expense at a weekly rate 50/50 with my personal accounts because of the repairs to the caddy.( I sold my Suburban to cover the model fees checks after a few things came up in the days before the shoot, it's just life)


7) Additional Camera and videography:
I was very fortunate to have John M., not only as a very experienced videographer, but a good director and helped a great deal with his services. I got such a smashing deal on his help, and tools. Big Thanks to the master!

8) Blood and special f/x:
Even though I make my own blood for the most part, I still purchase Thick scabby blood, and some other stage blood(spendy) f/x for mouth blood and such, plus all the little extras like containers, wipes, liquid eyeliner, shaving cream, and other stuff that goes into making things look semi realistic on a budget.

9) Clean-up:
This is actually a large part of production and can be prior and or post. You could imagine the mess haha I paid my assistant to clean up the mess and she did a great job.

10) Editing wise I don't factor in the 42 total hours I spent on the capture/edit//preview/post
I am a very fast and proficient video editor so if I was in a cutting room working the wheel, I would get $110 an hour. In my small office, I get coffee and food/drink if I run upstairs, or if my assistant is available.

Overall I would say I over spent on this and if I turned back the clock, made a few different decisions, I could have done an even better job than this particular film. I have to give merit for all of the action and fantastic death scenes from the gals that gave every bit of energy to sell those deaths. I made some poor decisions in my directing as well. As you know I have acted in many of these productions, as well as doing the production side with PKF, but the multi girl stuff is hard with so many great minds in the room, and lots of distractions, so on the next one. i am not going to focus on all of the details of the shoot and not sell myself , or customers, short on the fetish side. This film is worth every penny, but the next one will be better.

I will be playing catch up on some customs then back to my script contest winners and Highlander series, but sooner than later i will surprise you with something special.

The only reason why I broke this down is to reinforce what tommygun stated, and to give you an idea of what the realistic figures were on this particular film. I am in no way trying to get any sympathy to buy this either, just being realistic. I have a good feeling that over the next couple years this will pay itself back. I think more than cash though I will get flat out experience, and trust me I took notes! so the benefit to me from doing this film and getting it done, is so much more precious than gold!

Thanks so much to everyone who supports any producers. We do need your support and feedback to continue to serve you well and to see what we like in our fetish! CB

Totally agree with TG and Tender and echo their post and reviews. It is a tough business model and it probably is closer to a hobby,Without producers taking the risk and creating others scenarios,it would be cost prohibitive. The 40/or 50$ cost for this video is not indicative of the time and work involved,Its not a cakewalk folks. So amble up to the bar ask for a bottle and throw a little cash at the bartender...CB and JM along with TG pulled this off ,so they deserve tons of praise. Just a great concept and video.... BRAVO too all including the models who gave it their all...

[Chris B]

Thanks a great deal for the support! We do appreciate it and it gives us the chance to make even better films if we get feedback. Thanks again! CB
