There have also been other times when some wonderful things from the
Broke Straight Boys of yesteryear which were shown in photos of the shoots, didn't end up happening at all in the final videos. Fortunately in all honesty it doesn't happen very often. And when it does, you're usually not missing all that much.
There was one time though... haha I was, shall we say...disappointed. (Sarcasm and understatement alert!) LOL One time a great sequence of photos showed something I had never before seen done in a
Broke Straight Boys scene. I made the mistake of looking at the photos before I watched the newly released video. I didn't always look at the still photos before I watched the video. But on that particular day...unfortunately I did. I was terribly psyched to see my boy Colin do something unusual. As the whole opening scene played out, I waited specifically and anxiously for that sequence and moment to happen.
Then just as it started, Clay spoke up, scrapped that sequence altogether and told them to stop and just do the regular fucking.
I had a mini-meltdown.
I was so mad I could have spit tacks. lol
I unleashed a several paragraph rant directed at the director Clay as to his tone-deaf cluelessness over what would most appeal to a gay audience.
That was back when many members (myself included of course) either believed or were questioning whether Clay was actually a straight guy filming gay porn for the first time. There was plenty of evidence from some of the videos of the first 6 months or so of the Clay era, which easily led many of us members to that conclusion. haha
So yes. I know firsthand the disappointment of looking forward to seeing something in photos that doesn't happen onscreen. That's just one of the pitfalls of doing still photo shoots of the models prior to the filming of the video itself. Sometimes in the course of filming they decide not to do certain sequences or maybe even forget to do them. Sometimes the models themselves aren't able to perform certain sequences well enough to show in the final cut of the film. So in the older
Broke Straight Boys videos especially, sometimes the photos of scenes and the final videos don't really match up. It seems nowadays
Broke Straight Boys tends to mostly do still photos during the scenes rather than the whole batch of them prior to filming. Although of course we still see some posed photos of the models in clothing or partial clothing that are obviously done prior to filming.
