I've got an idea: A website like Kickstarter.com but for porn scenes.
Producers would describe the scene and the amount of cash required to make the scene. Punters would then pledge an amount towards the scene. If the target isn't reached then no one pays anything. If a scene reaches its target then the scene is made and the punters get a copy. If a punter pledges more than a minimum amount then they can make requests for inclusion in the scene. Once the initial punters have got their copy then the produce can sell the scene how ever they choose.
This system would ensure that producers get a return on their investment and punters could have a say in how the scene turns out.
Of course I have no idea how the economics of porn work - I'm just a perv with a dream.

I think this is a great idea! I just had the idea myself and found your post when I was searching. :) I'm really surprised it hasn't been done.
It looks like some people are trying: http://offbeatr.com/

Great idea, but in my head there's one other potential step. Have an idea for a scene brought together by the investors, say for example a kink thread like this. Some director or whoever picks it up and determines the cash required, etc, etc. It's a pipedream, I know.

Why is it a pipe dream though? I mean it's not as if shooting pron scene is like building a rocket ship. And with the industry in the condition it's in (I hear), wouldn't this make sense?
Let's say there's a particular kind of scene that is either niche, or else people will only do it if there's a lot of money in it. The consumer could make it happen. This kind of kickstarter porn could be the wave of the future!

It would be impossible.
I'd definitely pay $200 for a good deep throat vid. But - fully clothed. No gagging. No spitting. Must swallow. No tilting cameras. Only certain stars, etc., etc.
Multiply that by 5000.

Knowing nothing about how to do a porno.... just thinking out loud here...
Let's say you've got to pay 10 performers and 5 behind the scenes people for 2 days work, and the use of equipment etc. Pay everyone 1000 each. Add in 500 for design of cover, case. 1k for use of camera. 1k for use of sets. So that's make it 20k total. We get 100 guys to pay 200 each and we could get it done. And the producer gets to make even more money by selling it to other people once we get our copies.
But it could be done scene by scene. Let's say we had an entry for Jena Jameson tongue kissing Bobbi Starr while they're in wet suits . If the money is right, it could lure people from out of retirement and encourage them to do things they don't ordinarily do.
Porn fans would gladly pay more for what they want to see, and so they can become part of the whole deal.

There's a site someone mentioned on Facebook the other day that there's a site that's similar to Kickstarter where you can just donate money to a cause/endeavor through that site and it'll take a 5% cut of the donations so it's a little more legit it seems that just straight out donating money to someone to make films, but if it's a well-known person, you could just donate straight to their cause I guess.

Still, the financial numbers might be a problem, as Galento pointed out. Everyone has their idea of a "perfect" video they would be willing to pay $200 for. Well not everyone, but lots of people. But then there are gonna be others who want a deep throat video, but insist on gagging. And others will insist on super-closeup POV. And others will insist on throwing in a couple of guys to gangbang her ass while she's doing deep throat. The more you dilute it, the less valuable it becomes to any individual investor. So, my willingness to pay $200 for a perfect video goes down to $50 if I have to tolerate other buyers' crappy ideas which detract from the perfection. Pretty soon it's no better than factory porn, which I can buy for $15-20.

OTOH It'd be interesting if bribery and tips could become a part of the porn game. Send your favorite porngirl a spandex outfit and "tip" her $100 to wear it in a porno, or $200 for her to return it to you afterwards. Tip a porngirl $50 to wear her heels throughout the scene, or to wear knee-high socks with dirty soles. OR maybe that sort of thing is already happening? It would be a neat and harmless way to get what you want, going straight to the source instead of relying on the directors who probably couldn't care less about trivial details like that.
