Dear FCF community,
I'm helping the guy who produced the oil wrestling fights from "Lakea" to start a new production. We have already rented a room that will feature fighting mats as well as a punching back and an old locker. We're looking to produce photosets as well as videos.
Normally I would try to refrain from asking for money, but setting up a proper room with all the necessary equipment doesn't come cheap, so we have started a gofundme campaign to help us reach our milestones faster. For example, we have studio flashes, but need flicker free video lights.
As a sports photographer, I can use my own camera gear so we don't spend the money on fancy tech, but the bare necessities.

Please consider supporting us, every amount helps and we're extremely grateful for your support.
Forgive my ignorance, but what is lakea?
No problem, Lakea is the name of the model in the foreground.
She did appear in several productions in the past. She is not available at this time, but we have several other models who have expressed interest.
What do we get in return
Just make sure the models start the catfight wearing a white buttoned blouse (no bra), dark skirt and barefoot. ;D
At the moment this is solely a fundraising campaign to help us getting started asap.
Your ,,benefit" will be a new producer based out of Germany, so you will be able to see new girls on the mats.
We plan to do catfights and oilwrestling videos and photos.
We have thought again about the benefit for our supporters.
You'll get two months free access to our Patreon platform once it is established and we have content to fill it with.

Thinking os sponsering. How do you plan to recruit ladies to catfight?
Your consideration is greatly appreciated.
We have already talked to a few models, who expressed interest in working for us. They would be newcomers to fighting productions.
We plan on recruiting models through the various modeling platforms like modelmayhem, but my partner also did a similar project for a couple of years in the past, so he still has contacts.
On our setup day on April 2nd, a model will come by for a meet and greet. She has great interest in catfighting and has her own fetish patreon.
Hi Tommy, big adventure your looking at, no expert but just a suggestion, you might want to try either pre scripted by fans or not, but ask for preorders on the two women you will have in the shoot. Don't be afraid to ask for a percentage down, then all who prepay get the videos first, this will help raise the funds.

Will these matches be competitive or fantasy? Is there a place I can check out the Lakea matches to get an idea of what I'm looking at?
Here's the old gumroad store:
https://3dadultworld.gumroad.com/
Seeing your pre production studio i would suggest as i am sure you thought of it, wrapping those posts in about 3 layers of foam or mats cause if it was me walking in for a match, the thought of my head hitting them by accident would make me walk right back out. Unless you rope of an area or a "ring" , you might want to search for a larger area with posts spread out further apart. You might want to foam the floor and cover it with mats , rugs, so on depending on your fight your filming.
Second stores (good will and so on ) offer a very large array of cheap items most under 30 dollars, you can use to make a back drop, as well as cheap attire that if ripped is easy on the wallet. They have attire most under 35 dollars as well, i have used these stores for my irl matches. The other cost you wanna consider is decent lighting (LED is best), over head. With smart plugs that you can activate on yor app they can be connected in a series and easily turned on and off. Super cost effective. A set of decent over head cameras as well
Hey DottiD, thanks for your kind words.
We ordered a large quantity of these wrestling puzzle mats in 3cm (6/5th of an inch). We opted for the thicker version to make it more comfortable for the models. We ordered quite a bit to not only cover the fighting area, but also the surrounding floor and the walls.
Our rent only starts on April 1st, so there are only these raw images of the room. Of course we will work on the floor for the common areas of the room.
The posts are my concern as well, but I need to measure them and order specialized "post covers". It's not the most pressing issue though, as we can start shooting staged fetish fights or do photography work at first. Since we also do photography, we'll also get decorative pieces and install a makeup table / dressing area for the girls.
For starters, we try to keep it a low cost operation since we know that were up against stiff competition from companies like SFD, DT Wrestling, Lady2Fight, Suitefights, SlapCity... I'm sure we can create some amazing content there and then see what the future holds for us.
We're already sorted for flash photography and will get two Nanlite FS-150 for video - flicker free LED lights and quite bright with 2800 Lux at 3 meters.

Will these be real or scripted? How do you support?
We're open to both, this will depend on the models available at a given shoot.
If you want to support us, we appreciate a donation through gofundme --> gofund.me/fdf142e0
I've been to the place today to transport the equipment to the location.
There's still a lot of work to do, but we laid out the mats for the first time to check the space.
The wall will be padded with black foam mats and we either find a few more of the fighting mats to cover the space to the left wall or move the mats towards the wall and use the black mats to cover it up.
Some mats will be cut to fit to pad the base of the column, which will also be wrapped.
I expect the first shoot to be 4-5 weeks out

Hello all,
please excuse the long delay in providing updates. I was working almost every weekend beside my regular job, but now it's time to fully focus on the catfighting production.
We have set up our studio more professionally with a dedicated fighting arena featuring mats and an oil wrestling cover.

Oilwrestling
This space can be used for video and photo production, we have flashes and LED video lights.
As you might notice, we have switched things around in the studio and went for the smaller space to install the arena. On the other side, we opted for a "cellar room" set that serves for photo production with a darker theme or video production of "controlled" scenarios like belly punching. Of course, the windows would be blocked then.

We have our first proper production on Nov. 2nd with two German girls. I can't really tease those as we didn't work with them yet, but you'll see a preview once the shoot is done. Both fit the "petite blonde" category.
We already did several single girl photoshoots, where all of them expressed interest in fighting scenarios.
Sensual Marie is ready to fight a porn starlet on Nov. 9th!

Who is she fighting? That's our Halloween treat on Oct. 31st
Also on our roster is Tanja, a tall and slender tattoo model

I think Tanja is sexy as hell (she has that Israeli look), but please tell her that I'm not a big fan of all her tattoos. ;D
I couldn't imagine trying to start something like this ... unless I was filthy rich and losing money every month didn't matter.
I guess you have to recruit women who are already in the adult industry or at least stripping / dancing to have any interest ... or at least not be mortified at the request. If I even suggested to any woman I know that I'd like to see them wrestle another woman, they'd call the police.
With all the competition in this already I think that the only thing that might work would be a company that specializes in doing good, custom videos. And even with that you'd need girls that already have some good wrestling/fighting experience to make it work. If you specialized in just custom clips you could charge a lot more but still need enough requests to make it profitable ... unless you're already well off and that wasn't an issue.
There is a company that does this but they are three different companies in one so each different one I suppose supports the others.
Either way, best of luck with it. :)
hey, thanks for you feedback.
We're both not "rich", but average. The hardest part is finding a decent room so that you don't get eaten alive by the additional monthly rent. That's why we struggle a little bit with space and the place doesn't have heating. No worries, we have two electric heaters and a 3kW industrial heater and we don't have to worry about the electricity bill. It's dirt cheap and a good start.
Talking about expenses, my partner already owned studio flash lights and we found two professional 200W LED video lights for cheap on craigslist. We got these puzzle mats for cheap on craigslist as well from a rich family that used them for the kids playroom.
With me working in sports photography, I already have professional photo equipment and will be switching from DSLR to mirrorless this winter, which will also greatly aid in video production. The only expense is the microphone then...
For the models, it is surprisingly easy, especially since we're in Germany and there simply isn't a Francesca Le, Lora Cross or Sunni Ray or whoever. Many models offer topless or art nude levels, but of course we mainly work with models from the adult industry. But by simply putting a casting call online, we get more requests than we can actually take by models wanting to work for us. We shoot with two models tomorrow for the first time, three others have already agreed on regular work. We have two more lined up for December and just got two requests today!
As none of the girls have prior fighting experience, we do posed photosets first so that they can get used to the desired moves before we start producing videos. And the girls like our photos, Marie is actively promoting us on twitter.
But of course, we need to pay the girls their rates as they make their living of it. So we have to invest money know to grow our patreon support. Our business plan says that we want to pay the rent and at least one production per month by March next year.

We had our first shoot on Thursday and it was very successful.

Polly, too, is sexy as hell. ;D
A little 2024 update.
We had a second shoot with two different models last year. Tanja and Sandra were amazing to work with and Sandra (the darker skinned girl) will make a return this month for our first production of the year.

Unfortunately, our studio doesn't have heating and while we can make it nice and comfy with electric space heaters, this becomes prohibitively expensive when it's around freezing or below. So please excuse our inactivity in the past months.
On a positive note, we have sourced a second hand boxing ring, which we will use as a makeshift wrestling ring. These are hard to come by in Germany, so we're pleased with this option.
(https://i.ibb.co/MRtt198/IMG-5950.jpg) (https://ibb.co/khwwDM3)
It should be set up for our upcoming shoot this month already, so you can expect some nice boxing images as well as the usual dirty wrestling tactics.

I agree with another poster, Excessive tattoos on women are a huge turn off.
