I just saw a child in a porn movie. Really, I kid you not (pun intended). I'm not going to post what movie it was, but if you send me an email I will reply.

I brought up this subject in chat a while back, and have had some private conversations on the subject. I half-jokingly proposed a Brady Bunch style movie, with kids in non-sex roles. Obviously not a good idea for the kids involved because of the potential media image and all that. Of course the legal ramifications are enough to scare any producer away something like this.

I've been keeping my eye on location setting shots and have been able to spot at least one child in an outdoor, busy street setting. Obviously none of the people being filmed are aware that their likeness will be immortalized in a porn movie.

Most of these type of openers have the people far enough in the distance that you couldn't identify the individual. In this case it's true of the child, but some shots of adults are close enough for identification.

Non porn movies do this all the time. However, I'm wondering if someone could make a big stink if the camera zoomed in on them, especially if it was a family walking with a child.

Rob, I hear where your coming from but I don't think its a very good idea to feature kids in any porn movie, no matter what the situation or context is. I know children are capable of experiencing sexual pleasure (I know I did when I was young) but at the moment there is way too much unwanted attention from moral zealots like Ashcroft to justify this concept.

I remember someone seeing their Dad in a porno. He was in it by accident because he walked through a location setting shot and was clearly visible.
People overreacted, encouraged by the newspapers, who said it was "Dad in Porn Film" I had to read through pages and pages of bull before I got to "...and it was only a shot of him walking through the location"

If the child wasn't purposefully focused on, then I say no harm done, but the director, or editor, could've edited out, or blur that image. A porn director has only so much control over where s/he films, not like a major mainstream director who could have whole city blocks blocked off to film a 2 minute scene.

(A bit different scenerio: but in Rogue Adventures 17, when Joey was walking with Alyssia, and taxis where honking at her, instead of focusing on the driver, he turned the camera to the pavement, something I've seen him do before, in other releases.)
