How to make a great mud wrestling video.

There is a lot of mud wrestling videos on Youtube. Even if you filter out the ones reposted time and time again, there's still plenty of content to wade through. Some of it is more really good, some of it isn't.

So Lord Mccoy is here to give you budding Mud Wrestling (or oil, or pudding, or tapioca, whatever)  film makers a few tips and pointers.

1. Lighting.
Get some. You could have Kate Upton and Abigail Ratchford fighting in your pit but if it's lit by somebody's cellphone, you're wasting my time, your time and their time.

 If you're holding your event in a nightclub then there's even less excuse for badly lit action. You have lights.Point some at the damn ring.

2. Keep the crowd back
 Yes, I know all your frat buddies want to get a good look at the two hotties rolling around in the jello but make them stay out of the way of the camera. You want people to be able to see the fight, not the crowd.

3. Closer is better.
  There are people out there who will apparently film a mud fight from the other side of the field. I honestly can't see the point.

4. Picture quality. 
It's 2015. There's no reason for anybody to be filming in potato quality. Buy a decent camera.

5. Hold your camera the right way up. 
 Just so you know, if you post a video in vertical mode, like this:

Then I hope ninjas break into your house and steal everything you own.

If you post a video like this:

Then you should not be allowed to film anything ever again. It takes all of ten minutes to find and install  cheap editing software and another ten to rotate your video. If you can't be bothered to do this, then I can't be bothered to watch your video.

6. Make the ring a decent size. 
 You want the girls to be free to move.  So putting them in a paddling pool designed for 5 year olds is just stupid.

This is good. Plenty of room to move and if you want to have a Battle Royal, you have the room to do so.

  This is Ok

Seriously...why did you even bother?

The next few are all personal preferences. You may or may not agree with them. 

7. Clothing.  

 Try and get your girls to wear something suitable. And by suitable I mean "Bikinis"

Swimsuits are acceptable. Underwear is OK, especially if it's thongs and if you somehow managed to talk two girls into wrestling topless then nobody is going to complain. But good luck getting that video to stay on Youtube.

 What's not ok. Jeans. Shorts. Jean shorts. Baggy t-shirts. A full skirt and blouse combo.

I can't speak for anybody else but I if see one of the fighters wearing her  work clothes into the ring then I click on to the next vid.  Let me demonstrate.

And lastly.

 8. Make it competitive.
Nobody wants to see anybody get hurt in the ring but at the same time,  two girls smearing mud on each others faces while giggling does not constitute "Mud wrestling."
 There should be a winner, a loser and some definite effort involved. Something like this:

 Now get out there and make some videos. Best of luck
