Last summer, Cajun and I went out a few times with a video camera to try and make some pickup videos with the idea of eventually making a product or something out of it.
Anyway, I got busy with school, and the product idea kind of got put on the shelf. We’ve been sitting on the video for a while now, so I decided to just take a few clips and release them free to the interenet. These videos are pretty basic; the target audience is more a newbie who wants to see what good kino + bodylanguage looks like rather than advanced pickup guy. But considering all the crap pickup videos out there I thought I could do people a service by putting something out there that doesn’t suck… in any case, we have some better footage that I’m still holding on to in the hopes of making a pickup product out of them.
Anyway guys, I’m interested in hearing what you guys think of this, and if you have suggestions for something that you’d like to see in a future video, Cajun and I will be going out and trying to get more footage this winter.

I’m liking it man. That’s some good stuff. I think this stuff should be out for free, but I can totally understand why you gotta hold on to some of this stuff.
I thought it was interesting that you were able to interview the girl after. Pretty nice.
I have had ideas to do live pickups for my site. Just need a guy willing to record all of it.
Keep bringing some of this content though. It’s good stuff for people to check out.

Thanks man… all in all though, I was surprised with how hard filming these live pickups were. Between bad lighting, bad angles and sound problems, 9/10 of the sets we filmed were crap.
This isn’t the most impressive set, and I even think my game was kind of clunky in it, but from a filming perspective, this was by far the best video.
Anyway, good luck filming your own pickups, it’s a lot of work!

The lack of live footage is a gaping hole in PUA/dating material. Seeing it done is so much more powerful than reading about it or listening to lectures. And having the ability to play something back so you keep it fresh in your mind is a big advantage over a bootcamp. Shows like Keys to the VIP fill in the gap a bit, but that show has ridiculous time limits on it’s contestants and a quickie half hour format. Mystery’s The Pickup Artist has some interesting stuff, especially when we get tot see Mystery and his wingmen do their stuff in field, but it spends way too much time on following around the contestants before they actually do anything.
Since nobody else is doing this, I don’t know why Lovesystems shouldn’t lead the market and try to make some money off this. I would _love_ to see a mostly uncut video of you or Cajun working a bar or club for an evening and demonstrating various skills.
I know the technical problems are tough, but they seem to do a pretty good job on Keys. Maybe this is a budgetary issue though. Tough to do things well on a shoestring. Good luck though. I’d love to see more.

Great Shit!!
Hey I know it’s tough but how getting some footage of your eye contact while picking up.
Keep up the good work!

[...] posted a new video of him and Cajun in action. We had a chance to meet both of these guys and they are both extremely [...]

Hahaha. Picking her up after the cops drove by was hilarious. I’m stealing that!
I liked this, man. I don’t know what the other recordings looked like, but the lighting was pretty acceptable on this video.
As for advice, it was a little annoying at first to hear the fake reporter’s voice over yours. I know why it’s done, but you should look into a way to record without it.
Overall though, I liked it, which means most will like it.

Okay, one more thing, Chris.
I figured out why I liked the whole part with you picking her up when the cops drove by: it was improvised.
Soooooooo many pick-up videos show scripted shit that makes the whole interaction look robotic.
Add more footage of improvision. The community would benefit from it.

Chris, this is great!
I’d like to see videos of you guys gaming really REALLY fucking hot girls.
I’ve been really pissed off with the community – all those charlatans, imposters, scams, moneysucking and shit (and I gotta tell you, that includes LS, because of the excess of announcements in their newsletter).
But I’m still loving you and Cajun, so don’t disappoint me and put some hot vids for the bros.
Cheers!

Oh, the video isn’t there anymore. You should upload it again, this time at Google Vids.
