Close Up or Full body on Candids?

Curious what you guys prefer when seeing candid shoeplay videos.

Personally, I hate super close up videos. I prefer not to see all the flaws on a woman's foot. Chipped away nail polish, scabs, unkept heels...I don't need to see that. I prefer to think the feet are just perfect.

I like to see the whole body action when someone is dipping, the bending of the leg, maybe the expression on their face of relief...I even love it when a woman is behind something or is slightly obscured and you can see her whole drop about 3"...and you absolutely know she took her shoe off.

What do u guys think

I prefer a combination of close ups on feet and face and full body shots.

Full body for the same reasons. For me it's the whole package. So many record just feet or just lower body, I usually pass on those videos. The few that do a mix of whole body & close up now those are fantastic!

Full body for sure...not only do i agree with most of what has been said before I also need to see the face to match with the feet...doesnt need to be stunning, even homely women can have sexy feet, but I want to add to the picture in my mind what she looks like. I rarely watch a video again if it has no face shot and never watch just close up vids ...esp the under the chair sole shot from behind seated videos

I definately prefer full body too. to see her face, especially if she's slighlty grimacing, the movement of the body (the leaning part is the best), the "context" where the dipping happens and so on.

Personally, I too prefer full body shots, especially when the persona taking the pictures is able to capture the dialogue.
Johnnynova was great at this and I wish he posted more like the 199O's trade shows. Women would kick off their heels about an hour into the show and
stand in stockinged feet for the whole expo. When you capture the candid feet along with the full body shots like trade shows, news/weather/business
girls, game show and shopping channel hosts it says the woman is smart, sexy, sassy, and confident.

I wish mickflux and johnnynova could post more like the good old days.

Personally, I'm usually a close-up, right underneath the chair kind of guy. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy distant full body shots too, but only IF it's close enough that I can make out a decent amount of the detail. If I can barely make out the wrinkles or scrunches of the girl's soles, or the color of her toes then I'll probably get bored of it quickly. My first shoeplay/feet experiences were at a point-blank view, from the rear, so any time the camera can zoom in and get up close and personal, I'm usually all in. Weird as it may sound, I think that some of the very flaws listed, add a bit more charm...within reason. Those "perfect imperfections" as John Legend would put it. Dry feet and heels don't bother me, and worn nail polish only gets to me, when it's SO worn, that it might as well not even be there (I once saw a local librarian, whose polish had completely worn off on everything but a small portion of her big toe. It just looked...lazy). If I'm going to be critical about anything, it'd be the shape of the foot. I know, it can't really be helped, but hey...

Face shots are a nice touch, but if I'm already familiar with the work of whoever is shooting the video, I can usually enjoy it in good faith, that there's no funny business going on, and that the opportunity for a face shoot simply wasn't available. If it's someone whose work I'm not familiar, I'll usually wait to see if they produce more.

TL:DR it all depends on many factors.

I enjoy more distant. At least getting the leg and zooming in when shoeplay gets a bit more intense, but the more zoomed in you get the worse quality at times. Also the more zoomed in you can miss some thing that the other foot can do.

I have taken person candid's and only after looking at the video realized I had a second person in the background during shoeplay as well. When I zoomed in I missed the entire second person!

Call me greedy, but I like a little of both.

I don't mind a few closeups. I like seeing the texture of her hose, maybe a little run, the dust on her soles. I like seeing the scuffs on her shoes, the wear on the insoles that tells you how often she wears them.

But they need to be presented in context. It's not necessarily because I distrust the presentation or the presenter. But zoomed-out shots tell the whole story. You can see where she is, what she's up to. You can see who she's telling or complaining to. You can see who else knows that she's shoeless. Sometimes you can see how far she's wandered from her shoes...I love that.

A couple favorites of mine that illustrate that importance:

- I forget who filmed this one, but it was a series of clips of a young woman at some kind of conference or trade show. She's in a skirt, blazer, and black heels with a chunky heel tipped with gold, and they're clearly bothering her. In one of the clips, the camera pans up from her standing shoeplay to her conversing with some associates (co-workers? rivals? customers?). The camera pans down, and she extends one of her legs into the middle of the conversation circle and rotates her foot as if to put her shoe on display. You can't hear the conversation, but you can certainly imagine it: "Well, can you imagine standing for the last five hours in THESE? My feet are killing me." Watching her show her shoe off to a group, then return to dipping, is so hot.

- The second is a dakaas clip for sure. It's a trade show girl who's sitting at another booth, where someone offers to massage her foot. She takes off her flat, extends her stockinged foot, and gets her foot rub. When done, the camera pans out, and you see her slip her shoe on, then she slips her other shoe off for a moment. You feel like she wants her other foot rubbed too, but she'll have to suffer for now. But the video's made better by not staying in zoom.

(If anyone has these downloaded, let me know...I lost them to a bad hard drive and they're long gone from YouTube.)

When I film candidly I like to film full body and with sound,womens faces and body language along with emotions just give that more turn on effect :bastardinside:

Hi everybody¡¡ very interesting topic indeed. I'll try to explain myself correctly because english isnt my native languaje :mrgreen:

To me,like other persons have said, its a mix of the two 'styles' what makes a video,incredible. I really want to know how the girl is,or how she dresses,or how she reacts to notice the camera or how she talks with her friends while shoeplays. However,we are here for the feet,isnt it? Since the video has 1-2 min of faceshoots,or shoots of the body or the enviroment,its OK to me. And then,i really love close-up scenes when you can admire clearly the whole sole of the foot.

If i have to choose,between one of the styles,i think i prefer closeups. And simply,because of that: i am producer of candid shoeplay,as many of you,and i know perfectly how hard is get the face of the girlies. I dont know if the rest of foot fetishists are aware about the big risk when you are filming girl's feet. Some girls will confront you. Some will pass,yeah,and maybe she only laughs about you with her friends..but when a producer is caught,girls around him(or the same enviroment example:libraries,class..) will know about his interest and that could produce a problem for the filmer.

What i am trying to say,its that get faceshoots,sometimes is very,very,very dificult. Same for full body scenes. Sometimes,the girls arent aware about the videotapping,but most of the times they realize what are you doing. So,its much easier simply put the camera behind her,and film her shoeplay and get closeups;that sit right next to them and try to catch the full body scene.

Dont missunderstand me please. I really love a nice faceshoot and a vision of the entire body shoeplaying. But simply,sometimes,its impossible without being catched by the girls.

Huge close-ups are unnecessary.

Shots where you can see the whole foot are enough and also where you can see the woman's face provided that doesn't spoil things,
