| Princess Chris Member 30 Posts 7/07 | Posted - Aug 21 2007 : 10:13PM Currently Vivid has 14 contract Stars Brea Lynn Cassidey Jenna Jameson Kayden Kross Lacey Love Lanny Barby Lyndsey Love Monique Alexander Savanna Samson Stefani Morgan Sunny Leone Sunrise Adams Tera Patrick Tiffany Taylor That is according to adultdvdempire.com. They usually keep that pretty up to date. You could take Jenna and Tera off since technically they have there own studios and pretty much only shoot for there label. That still puts Vivid at 12.

| Derek117 Senior Member 1605 Posts 1/06 | Posted - Aug 22 2007 : 12:41AM Still, the premise of this thread is correct--Vivid has lost their touch. There are probably many reasons, but I'll just state two. First, like many sports teams or large companies, Vivid lost "touch" with it's employees/stars needs. They figured since they paid top dollar (which they do) they didn't need to give the girls what "they" wanted--individual promotion, awards, and cross-over opportunities. Most Vivid Girls' opportunities in these areas were really focused on "the company" not the girls. And at some point each Vivid Girl realizes that the company doesn't really care about her career. The other problem is that Vivid no longer does what it was once famous for doing--producing quality sexvids. No, not the nastiest, or most extreme or hardcore. But quality, couples erotica. Sexvids that were well photographed, on attractive sets, had a story that didn't degrade the girl--and was logical. So even though Vivid is constantly trying "new" things (gonzo, IR, alt. porn, etc.) they have no one working behind the camera who has a "good eye" for visual composition or can photograph a scene beautifully. None of Vivid's in-house directors, for example, could have made "Island Fever 4." Speaking of directors, Vivid's top in-house director has lost his ability to tell a coherent story--"Sextet", "Emperor", "The Devil and Miss Jones", "Debbie Does Dallas". None of these movies had narratives that anyone NOT spaced out on drugs could make sense of. So Vivid Girls either leave for other companies (like Digital Playground) where there is someone with a strong visual style, to Wicked, where there's a director who can tell a story--in order to be in quality product. Or they simply exercise other options and leave the biz. But, I could go on... [Link] |

| caroline-NL Member 543 Posts 3/07 | Posted - Aug 22 2007 : 2:16PM the strong backlist they have. They have produced very good couple movies, they have done much to attract new customers, but I cant remember ONE single title, that was a big seller this year. I cant even remember one VIVID title at all, that was released this year. [Link] |
