DVD Technology Combines stunning picture quality, the ability to instantly access your favorite scenes, flawless slow-motion, still frames and extra added video features.
 

I am pleased to announce 16 VistaVideos are available on DVD. They each include interactive menus, scene selection, photo galleries and extra features such as previews, media video reels, TV news reports from Warner Bros.' "EXTRA" and "Entertainment Tonight." Some have outtakes and each contain a DVD-ROM feature which will link to special sites on the Web. The packaging is in the major movie style case with redesigned covers and 4 color face printing on every disc.

VistaVideo has always been known for high quality. So, I wanted our DVD offerings to yield the finest picture quality, comparable to any major theatrical motion picture available on DVD. And they do.

BONUS SEGMENTS FROM MEN OF MIAMI

Since Men of Miami has ten segments, 10 of our DVDs contain one segment each from Men of Miami. So, anyone who owns the entire VistaMen DVD Collection will therefore own Men of Miami on DVD as well.

The pricing for DVD and VHS will be the same, but many extra features will only be available on DVD. Combined with the stunning picture quality, ability to instantly access your favorite scenes, flawless slow-motion, still frames and scene looping, DVD will be the absolute best dollar value.

SHIPPING

How quickly will I receive my video(s)?

How are your videos sent?

Are the mailers discreet?

All our videos are sent to US destinations in U.S. Postal Service boxes via Priority Mail.

The return address is listed as follows:

VistaVideo, P.O. Box 370706, Miami, FL33137 U.S.A.

If you order with a credit card from our online order form, your video(s) is typically sent within five business days after the order is received. You may check the status of your order via e-mail. Your reference is your name as entered on the order form and the date the order was submitted.

What about International Orders?

International orders are mailed with the same promptness as domestic orders. The time it takes to get to another country varies greatly, however -- we have shipped successfully to almost everywhere in the world. Packages sent to censorship-intensive areas (such as Singapore), are hand-addressed. The return address is a personal name and not a business name and the customs declaration lists the video as a promotional video, value $10.00.

PAL: All of our videos are available in the European VHS-PAL format upon request.

I want to order from another country but don't have a credit card.

(1) You may send a money order in U.S. FUNDS and we will ship immediately to you (international money orders are available at your bank). Tell the bank the amount in U.S. Funds and they will issue the check. It should be made out to VistaVideo International and sent to:

P.O. Box 370706, Miami, FL 33137

Keep the check carbon or receipt until you receive your order.

(2.) Most Post Offices will issue international fund transfers which are mailed by the post office separately from your order. When the postal funds transfer arrives, we send the video(s).

Once you have used either of these methods you will find that they are easy and safe ways to order by mail. If you are unsure of the exact dollar ($) amount including shipping and handling for the order you wish to make, e-mail us with the title(s) of the video(s) you want and we will e-mail an exact total in return.

PRIVACY

I don't want my name put on mailing lists!

We NEVER sell, loan or share our mailing list with any other company or individual. We have never done a "mailing" to our list of customers. In any case, we denote in our computer records when a customer does NOT wish to receive mail from us. This is done just in case we should decide to do a mailing in the future.

E-mail: we do not send advertisement e-mail to customers. Our customers check our website from time to time for new releases. Our goal is to build loyal and satisfied customers. To that end, we want to insure their privacy. Guarding customer privacy assures our future success.

I love the music in your videos, where can I buy it?

VistaVideo's have none of that typically annoying "music" you hear in most videos. Our soundtracks have music you will love to hear over and over again. It's tailored to each scene. We get many compliments about our music scores. Unfortunately, our soundtracks are only available in the videos themselves. Should we decide to release a CD soundtrack it would be announced on the website. We have no plan to do that at the present time.

Is there a Fan Club?

How can I write or chat with the models?

We have thousands of fans of our products and MEN. As far as we know, there are no fan clubs.

Was I really talking with one of your models in a Chatroom?

We are often told that guys send out our model's pictures in chat rooms and claim to be the models in the pictures. Be advised, these individuals are frauds. Don't be taken in. If you really think you may actually be speaking with one of our models, he should be eager to have us confirm it. Write us and we'll let you know if he is real or an impostor.

Can I have the personal e-mail addresses of some of your models?

Several models have computers, but none of them wish to have their personal e-mail address known for privacy reasons. They all do accept fan mail via mail or e-mail sent to VistaVideo (we forward it to them). Personal letters should be marked as such and sent to:

VistaVideo, P.O. Box 370706, Miami FL 33137 U.S.A.

All personal letters will be forwarded to the model unopened. Several of the models get a lot of mail and most love to see it, however, few respond. We have no control over this and it is not in their contracts to answer fan mail. VistaVideo does not employ "impostor writers" to answer mail like many celebrities and studios do. If you have a keen interest in learning more about the models, we predict you will love our video, "Behind Closed Doors." It is excellent and will allow you to really get an idea what our models are like as real people. Let us know what you think.

Can I hire and photograph your models?

A message to photographers from Ron Williams:

"I always welcome inquiries from established mainstream agencies interested in hiring VistaMen for professional modeling or acting assignments. I have helped connect many of the VistaMen with legitimate modeling opportunities. I do not charge agencies or models for this courtesy. I want my men to succeed and I help them as much as I can. Inquiries must be made in writing by regular mail on business letterhead so we can authenticate the source before referring it to a model."

Are any of your models in the escort business?

No. While many porn stars offer their services on the Web as escorts, none of the VistaMen do. We never employ porn actors, or escorts as VistaMen.

The VistaVideo Collection

WHAT ALL VISTAVIDEOS HAVE IN COMMON

These videos are a voyeur's dream come true. Each video takes the viewer to into a fantasy world populated with men you may see nowhere else. Many are supermodels and fitness stars. These men are all special. Many Vista stars have been seen in top fitness magazines and on TV. And, they've been photographed for Calvin Klein, Gianni Versace, International Male, Undergear, etc.

VistaVideo has three primary objectives.

1. To produce Physique Art videos which are dedicated to masculine athleticism and sensuality.

2. To present great looking men who are mainstream models or newcomers with mainstream modeling aspirations, not porn actors.

3. To showcase these men through outstanding lighting and photography, delivering the best picture and production quality available. Quality which equals the most expensive Hollywood feature films.

Our videos also include many beautiful and creative fully nude sequences, featuring our most popular models. Look through our website. You will notice there isn't a lot of text about the nudity. That is because our videos are not about naked men. They are about men and sometimes men get naked.

The nudity in our videos helps attract a larger audience, yet it makes casting our most difficult task. As an artist who loves the male face and form, I would be frustrated if I had to include full frontal nudity of every single model. I am personally indifferent to it, being much more fascinated by all the other aspects of the male as a whole being. For a time, we tried to require every model to perform a full frontal nude scene. It distressed me to have auditioned and "lost" amazing men because they declined to do such scenes. After all, our stated purpose is to produce Physique Art videos, not nudie videos. To omit a stunning model or athlete because he declines to do a frontal scene would be criminal. I refuse to limit my casting possibilities. Therefore we have featured a few men who do not "show absolutely everything."  Our loyal audience is as satisfied as I am, no matter how much each model chooses to share with us.

We do not publish a guide on our website about who does and does not perform full nude scenes. Fans can freely share such information privately, and in discussion groups and on message boards. And, of course, we will answer all such questions via e-mail. I simply feel it would be unfair to the men to publish this information on our website. It could also result in a negative reaction from potential models who visit our site in order to consider how their own participation would be publicized. As I said in the beginning, our videos are not about the nudity. Our videos include many beautiful and creative nude sequences, featuring our most popular models. Still, IF the only reason a customer purchases a VistaVideo is to see frontal shots, then that customer is purchasing our product for the wrong reason. Our total satisfaction record is 98.7%, and that says it all.

It's early morning when a sea plane lands at Miami's waterfront marina. Carlos, the young pilot, gets out of his airplane clad in a well-fitting flight suit. He walks to his car, which is parked nearby, then casually begins to strip down to his form-fitting underwear. Carlos is not shy. His bronzed body and manly bulge are in full view of luxury cruise ships and the city's skyscrapers. His fine young muscles ripple with every move. He takes his time, applying sun screen to his perfect smooth skin. Meanwhile, in another Miami park, the warm tropical sun shines on young Brian's red sports car. He has arrived for his morning jog unprepared. Before he can hit the track, Brian must strip fully nude so he can slip on his jogging trunks. This young man has all the self-confidence necessary to change clothes right out in public. His perfectly defined body deserves to be seen and admired. He knows it and you have the good fortune to be right there and watch it all happen. This is just the beginning of many encounters with masculine perfection presented in this video.

REVIEW

Butch Harris, Reviewer, WEBs and VIDs Online!

***Highly Recommended***

"Muscles In Paradise" gives new meaning to soft erotic male video. Producer and director, Ron Williams, has the kind of talent rarely seen in adult video. The cinematography, sets, music, editing are top-notch. Usually, the production values don't mean that much in a skin flick, however, "Muscles In Paradise" is a tour-de-force presentation which truly uses the special effects, editing and photography techniques to enhance the fantasy. The men are unbelievably built, hung and handsome. Although this video is not hardcore ... it will be sure to get anyone off.

"MUSCLE HEATWAVE"

This video creates a heatwave of voyeuristic fantasies and chance encounters. Plus, you'll meet 4 brand-new VistaMen ... incredibly perfect VistaMen. "Muscle Heatwave" literally takes up where "Muscles in Paradise" left off. As in "Paradise," we catch two of these guys getting naked in public places. And there is a classic scene in which a Vista Mystery Man gets caught in a rain storm while biking. What else can he do? He gets out of his wet clothes and enjoys the rain as it embraces his muscular naked body. Robert is a stunning muscular Italian boy. We discover that he is a karate expert and accomplished rollerblader. His bedroom scenes are filled with even more revealing discoveries for the viewer. Pasi is an ex-hockey pro and a beauty to behold. We spy on Griff, a handsome policeman, as he strips off his uniform to reveal the most amazing glutes you've ever seen. Then we follow him into a hot shower and discover that this guy has got it all. And these descriptions just scratch the surface. There are many more sensual surprises which we won't reveal, you'll have to see them for yourself. Color Hi-Fi Stereo One Hour Full-Frontal Nudity

REVIEW

DUDE Magazine, June 1998

"Muscle Heatwave" is a visual feast for the eyes. Awesome Aaron and Ronny were seen in Vista's "Muscles in Paradise." And Super Stud Eric, who took that pulse-raising shower in "Men of Miami," all make much-welcomed encore appearances. On board for the first time are Robert, Griff, Sacha and Pasi. Together, these seven muscular supermodels make the screen sizzle with sensual excitement in this erotic new softcore video. And while this isn't a sex video, it touches those same sensitive nerves. It certainly got our juices flowing and should do the same for you. The seven dudes who are featured are nothing short of spectacular! Each one is a gem! Oh those faces and bodies, WOW ! And "Muscle Heatwave" shows you everything. The camera seems to be having a love affair with these guys. It probes and slowly explores every shape and ripple of their beautiful firm bodies. We should expect nothing less from VistaVideo. The settings and imaginative sequences are every bit as fascinating as the men who inhabit them. The result is an overall experience, totally unique and perfectly satisfying. 4-Stars.

"RAW MUSCLE"

By popular demand, the fan's favorite stars are assembled to satisfy an unquenchable thirst for more voyeuristic pleasure. Special effects fantasies have been popular in the series and "Raw Muscle" delivers one of the best. Arriving home from the photo lab, one stud makes himself comfortable by removing his jeans and shirt. Clad only in spandex briefs, we get a graphic view of his considerable attributes. Once relaxed, he scatters slides from a photo shoot across a table and light box. As he examines his own image we are transported to an unreal dimension. The static images lift from the slides. They envelope and caress this stud's muscular body in a balletic dance of color, light and shadow. It's a wonderland and we're along for the fantastic ride. More down to earth is our experience with Claude, one of Vista's favorite models from "Men of Miami." During this sequence the viewer becomes a stalking voyeur. Following Claude home from work, we hide outside his home and peer through his windows. He seems safe inside, but not safe from our probing eyes. We watch longingly as he moves from room to room, undressing along the way. We must be careful not to be seen when he comes outside to catch the night air. He sips a drink, lit only by the shimmering light which emanates from his swimming pool. He re-enters to his bedroom. Failing to lock the sliding bedroom door we see our chance to enter as well. Claude has now stripped naked and walked down a hallway and into his bath. We are nervous and filled with sexual tension as we enter the privacy of this man's home. What will he do if we're discovered? Through the doorway at the end of the hall we see his fully naked body enter the shower stall. We must get closer. We must see everything. But to complete this fantasy you'll have to experience it for yourself. Once again, this video is filled with many exciting encounters and we won't tell all here.

We can tell you that  Ronny heats up the screen with a nude after-workout shower. And oh those workouts! No instruction here. Just a chance to spy on these guys pumping iron and flexing seductively after each set. You'll get the idea they know you're watching them and that they like it. Show-offs! And the cast is studly for sure. Eric never looked better. Todd is stunning and extremely sensual. And Carlos, what a face, what a body! Color Hi-Fi Stereo One Hour Full-Frontal Nudity

"BEHIND CLOSED DOORS"

A full 90min feature length presentation. This video is unique in every way. "Behind Closed Doors" showcases every man ever filmed by VistaVideo Studios, all 27 of them. It is hosted by Robert from "Muscle Heatwave." Robert takes you on an intimate and sensual behind-the-scenes look at the making of our videos. You'll see bloopers, interviews and audition footage. Plus there's plenty of nude footage and extended, uncut sequences. This delivers entertainment and insights unmatched by any other back stage videos. It's drawing rave reviews, especially from customers who know our men and videos. Is this the best place to start if you have never seen a VistaVideo? Maybe yes, maybe no. This video really is unlike all the others. Plus, it may be more fun to find out all about the VistaMen after you've seen them in our other productions. On the other hand, this video includes an exciting bonus: The VistaMen Featurette. This 38-minute Motion Picture Gallery is cut to our acclaimed music. It presents never-before-seen photography and some sensual fantasy sequences as well. And all 27 of our VistaMen are included. It presents each man one by one. As his segment begins, MTV-style captions identify each man's name and his videos . As such, this certainly is a good way to determine which men are your favorites and where else you may see them. Color Hi-Fi Stereo 90 min Full-Frontal Nudity

"COVER-MAN WORKOUT"

VistaVideo superstar Carlos is HOT in this unique workout video. No boring instructions to listen to, just another great VistaVideo music score, Just enough narration to set the mood and Carlos takes it from there. Its a muscle-watchers dream. You'll get up close and personal. And you'll see every rock hard shape of this amazing man's body. Each set of his work-out is carefully documented, each flex and pose is captured and revealed. A workout? Yes, especially if watching rock hard flexing muscles increase you heart rate. You'll also be amazed by the split-screen comparison of Carlos THEN ("Men of Miami") and Carlos NOW ("Muscles in Paradise"). His body has improved remarkably and the on-screen comparison provides the proof. You'll also see clips of Carlos which were shot for, but not included in "Men of Miami" and "Muscles in Paradise." If you're a Carlos fan, you'll love this video. Color Hi-Fi Stereo One Hour brief, partial nudity

David Vance Book of Photographs

Renowned still photographer David Vance was commissioned by Ron Williams to shoot the models and set-ups during the filming of "Men of Miami."

At the time, "Men of Miami" was titled "MEN: Objects of Desire," and VistaVideo planned to produce a book of photographs as a companion to the video. The "Objects of Desire" video was unsuccessful in the marketplace. It did not produce enough revenue to finance the book. As a result, Ron Williams released all still photo rights to David Vance.

One year later, "Objects of Desire" was renamed "Men of Miami." New marketing strategies resulted in a best-selling success. Five videos later, it has become the original installment of an impressive collection of video art productions. David Vance has now published the VistaMen photographs. This is a hardbound book of 77 duotone (black & white) photographs, 61 of which are of the models taken on theVistaVideo "Men of Miami" set. The beautiful photography of these stunning men is available in many bookstores for $39.95 U.S. ($). By mail, write for a catalogue which offers this volume. Send your request to:

BRUNO GMUNDER VERLAG Mail Order
