| Soapy Suds Member 628 Posts 9/13 | Posted - Oct 13 2013 : 5:20AM I thought that might be the way ahead. I was thinking of shooting a scene, and putting it on one of those tube sites. Then if producers thought it was good enough, I might get paid to do more. Or maybe keep doing them myself and make money off a website. What's the going rate to pay a girl per shoot? Thanks.

In 48 of the 50 US States porn is considered pandering for the director and prostitution for the participants (California and New Hampshire being the exceptions). In Michigan fornication is also a concern and with all three convictions being a real possibility and the penalty being triple life in prison without parole you really could ruin your life. Utah also has strict fornication laws. 2. Money. A high quality video camera is about $5K. A high quality computer for editing said videos with editing suite is another $1500 plus. No name girls make about $600 a scene, guys about $500. House or studio rental for the day can be up to $5K. 3. Film permits. In LA County you have to obtain a permit from Film LA and use condoms for any sexual contact including oral sex. You can film in San Francisco or Marin and not have those concerns (in most of Marin you don't even need a film permit unless you are filming in a public park/street). Permits can be up to $5K per movie depending on the scene in LA, SF and Marin are cheaper. 4. Insurance. In California you are required to have workman's comp insurance through State Fund for all participants. That is based on how many movies will be produced in a year and the acts contained within them, a one off could cost hundreds if not thousands of dollars. A yearly policy would probably be $10K plus. 5. VD testing. Any porn producer worth working for requires a VD test (HIV, Syphilis, etc.) dated within 14 days of the scene. Established talent would likely already have the test, likely you would have to pay for the testing at $200 per person through Talent Testing Service or CET for new talent. 6. The Mann Act. It is federally illegal to transport talent across state lines to produce porn. The penalty could be up to 20 years of getting fucked up the ass by five bubbas nightly, otherwise called prison. 7. Section 2257. This is a federal law that requires you to make copies of all participants state ID or passport proving that they were over age 18 on the day of production. It must be formatted into a certain mandated format and kept for all eternity. After you die, your kids have to keep the info until they die, then the grandkids have to keep it, etc. down the line for all eternity. 8. Distributors. If you don't get a decent distributor you could never see the proceeds of the sales of your hard work. The chances of getting a mainline distributor like Evil Angel to distribute and sell your movies being an unknown are zero. Even well-known producer Brandon Iron got screwed out of everything he should have earned from five movies which he produced at $15K cost each using Rob Black to distribute his movies. If you plan on just making this a hobby Clips For Sale is an option but they take 40 per cent of everything you earn from the movies they distribute. These are just a few of the problems you face producing porn on your own. Please discuss this with a known adult industry attorney such as Paul Sirkin before even thinking seriously about producing porn on your own. [Link] |

| CRFlixxx Member 60 Posts 4/13 | Posted - Oct 15 2013 : 12:56PM First off, the tech has seriously advanced in the last 5 years so you don't need a $5k camera to shoot good looking footage. A use hacked Panasonic GH2 costs around $500 and it's footage can intercut with RED footage so that the average viewer won't know the diffeence. It doesn't have the dynamic range of a RED, but for the money, it's the best there is. A slightly higher cost option is the new Panasonic G6 or GH3. G6 costs around $6-700 new and can do 60fps at full 1080p, something no low cost Canon can do. GH3 can also do full HD 60fps with a higher bitrate codec(50mbs vs the G6's 28mbs) but costs $1k. None of these 3 cams do 4.2.2 color for grading, but for an amatuer you need to learn how to shoot first then grade. A new cam that can do 4.2.2 color cheap, is the new Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera. It records ProRes 200mb in cam in 4.2.2 color and will soon shoot compressed Cinema DNG. Costs $1k and you can't get a better cam for less or even the same money. These cams aren't really designed to be easily hand held for shooting so you'll need a rig and some other odds and ends for sound capture, but even then all those extra parts can be had for around another $1k. So for $2k you can have a real nice camera setup. You can build your own decent editing computer for as little as $1000 and for basic editing you can buy Sony Vegas Studio or Adobe Elements for under $100. Then you need some lights, and a few other things. All in all to start up your own video productions from scratch you need around $3-3500, but you can buy piece meal as you go along. Start with a camera and tripod...then some rigs and sound equipment...then lights, etc... [Link] |
| mharris127 Senior Member 1844 Posts 8/09 | Posted - Oct 15 2013 : 2:33PM I am not very familiar with the UK other than I have read that hardcore porn is illegal to even possess there -- certainly making it would be verboten as well. Some soft core was legal in the UK as of a couple of years ago. Talk to a competent entertainment attorney before even thinking seriously about starting a porn operation there. In fact the only UK based porn company that I know of is Killergram (they produce softer porn IIRC) so there may be a legal reason for that of which I am unfamiliar. Good luck in your endeavors and hope you find a way to make some porn somewhere even if it isn't in the UK (The Netherlands has a porn industry and some very extreme stuff is made there -- if you are a UK citizen or national my understanding you can live almost anywhere in the EU including The Netherlands without an immigration application).

| CRFlixxx Member 60 Posts 4/13 | Posted - Oct 15 2013 : 2:58PM Everything else you can get around cheap or cheaper than most people think. The hardest part for an amateur is finding people to film. If you can do that, everything else can be overcome with time. [Link] |
