• 30 Questions About Making An Adult Film 4/28/2007 4:04:15 PM
  
  Mike Quasar wrote: Wow. I'll answer a few now and a few later and hopefully others will chime in. Sound 01. What mic do you use? How many do you use? 02. During a sex scene how do you position the mics? A senheisser K6 short shotgun mounted on the camera for gonzo shooting or a Senheisser 416 on a boom pole with a beachtec if shooting dialogue. Lighting 03. What lighting kit do you use? How many lights? 04. Have you ever made a lighting mistake? What did you do? 05. How do you position your lights during a sex scene? Kino flo divas- 4 of them as well as a 650 arri fresnel color corrected for daylight. I position them so that I have the widest latitude to shoot without having to walk in front of them. I made many lighting mistakes many ...

  Steve Holmes wrote: As Mike just stated: "basic film making rules still apply". I can't see a reason for a special adult film director forum. What really makes one director different or better is very personal. I like to watch movies and work for directors who are really into porn and perversion. Technically it is not difficult but to set the right atmosphere and than catch the best angels is a talent. Steve Holmes That is very true! I have seen some adult films where I thought this director can't possibly be into porn because he just doesn't get it! That is the main reason that motivates me to make adult films. Knowing that I am geniunely interested in making a quality product that I personally would want to buy versus a dire...

  Mike Quasar wrote: There is no one "way' to shoot porn though I've found that most just copy Jules Jordan and then those people get copied and so on and so on.... If your goal is to shoot gonzo and be even remotely original I would suggest just studying what you would like to see but what you aren't currently seeing in the porn you watch today. That is what will inevitablely create your "style". As far as the techincal end of things, basic film making rules still apply: Lights, camera and action. I would assume that your goal is to make the scene as appealing to the eye as possible therefore I wouldn't consider purchasing your lighting equipment from home depot. Get a decent set of video/photo lights (they are pricey) or onl...

  Jaktarn wrote: So what happened with tis topic? I think there is a lot of demand for it. There really is no good content out there on the subject. I searched amazon.com for books on adult film making and there was one that got like a 2 star rating. People reviewed it saying it was too pessimistic and didn't really provide much info. The other books are more biographical on the industry. So there is a market for books on it too right now if anyone wanted to write one. I would preorder a Mike Quasar book on film making! HA I think the amount of work that goes into a book is just too much. Then getting good distribution for it is tough. And then getting bookstores to stock it considering it's adult film related is tough! The few that are out...

I think that the forum has already proved you wrong on this. I think the forum is quite open for sharing buisness information. Thank you! It's nice to see someone else agrees with the idea of having an adult film making subforum!

  Hardware wrote: I don't know about adult film making being taboo. If I were in your shoes then I would start by watching BTS for instances of where they show the cameraman shooting the action. Then I would go look at the film and see how where he was and what he did translated onto 'film.' Also, I would go around shooting inanimate objects to get used to how what I saw in the viewfinder translated onto the screen. Or, to put it another way, familiarize yourself with your equipment and what it can do before you go throwing money at performers. As for the legal aspects (contracts, release forms, etc.) you need to talk to a lawyer. Finally, as in most other hands-on businesses, the best way to learn is to apprentice to somebody who already...

• Suggestion For A Film Maker SubForum 4/10/2007 11:05:29 PM
  
  I do think the concept of the sub-forum is OK, but I doubt it would be very busy. If we see more discussions of this type over time we could certainly add a sub-forum. It only takes me 15 minutes or so to poke the values into the database. If you found 50 - 100 posts from over 1 million made since 1999 that could be moved into the sub-forum I don't think that's enough volume. It would be better left in tech talk or right here in the porn pool. Well I was suggesting 100 threads related to adult film making, not 100 posts. 100 threads would be around 1,000 posts approximately or 1/4 the size of your current smallest subforum. But if you don't think it would be popular considering you have 100s of the industry top workers posting on your si...

  Steph wrote: I don't see why Tech Talk can't be used to discuss the technicals of making films - as it has been. There is very little activity in that forum so it's not like the threads would get buried. Industry people generally search their name if they don't participate regularly. So if you mention the name of the person you're hoping will answer your question chances are they'll see the thread and answer if they feel like it. Hey Steph, Thanks for the reply. But let me quote this: "DVD compatibility, DVD authoring, computer stuff, digital devices, all things techie (including adult film making)" Just isn't the same as a dedicated film maker subforum. I hate to say it but I think posting film making stuff in there would be...

Why would one want advice from the people who make that 90%? For every Jules Jordan and John Stagliano there are ten Slain Waynes and Johnny Toxics. Ha! Well I wouldn't say 90% of porn is crap. Even the crappiest $5 porn has at least 1 looker in it having sex. Possibly a good thread topic would be what's the worst porno you've ever seen. And then we could see what people are calling crap! One mans junk is another mans porno treasure. LOL But seriously, vision is not transferrable. I will never direct like Jules Jordan. I will never be as smooth as Mike Quasar. Or as gritty/edgy as some of the othe...

  Hardware wrote: DancesWithPorn wrote: I just thought it would be nice to have a subforum just for adult film makers to discuss making adult films. How do you propose restricting the forum to adult film makers? Furthermore, what interest would such a restricted forum be to the general community? I'm not suggesting to restrict it but to have it open to anyone who is interested in discussing or learning more about how the DVD/adult film making process works. I think having a dedicated subforum would benefit everyone here because from my experience, people in the Porn Pool would like to talk about porn DVDs. And people in the poll forums like polls. And people in the tech forum like talking about general tech stuff like Vista, Apple, etc. Rig...

  What's the general process of booking a girl if she's in another state? Do you pay for greyhound busfare out? Book a flight? Wait for her to shoot something locally and meet up while she's in town? Or go to where she's at? Seems like everyone is in L.A. and I'm not in Cali.

• evasive angles with the shut up juice 10/20/2006 7:42:26 PM
  
  Evasive Angles "Big Bubble-Butt Cheerleaders" series is pretty damn good. I own almost all of them in that series. I wish the girls would leave their skirts on during the entire sex scene though, but they do typically leave it on during most of the sex. I like how they have the girls come out doing cartwheels and flips and bouncing up and down while showing their ass jiggling in their panties under their skirts. That's hott!! I haven't really checked out a lot of their other stuff though. Edited by - danceswithporn on 10/20/2006 7:47:24 PM

• Watching a porno without getting an erection? 10/20/2006 7:35:09 PM
  
  I'm glad to see I'm not the only one. I do a lot of fast forwarding too. You know what always slows down the fast forwarding though is dialogue. If the girl says some really sexy stuff within the first few seconds of the scene, I'll tune in to hear what else she sais and I'll get more into her scene. But if she's kind of boring, I'll fast forward. Also if she teases some during the intro I'll stay more tuned. Jules Jordan is good at that because he'll have the girls usually walk around with a ground up view like you are following her. The whole time I'm thinking, where the fuck is she taking me!! So I stay tuned. ha Lately I've been getting a lot of stuff that is kind of weak. Not one scene on the entire DVD worth stroking/popping to. J...

  I just read this long thread and you guys don't recommend many of her films to check out??? So don't be selfish...which ones are your favorite ones you've seen?? Also...are there any Penny Flame scenes where she is wearing something during the sex like a sexy skirt or bobby sox, or a costume of some sort? She'd make a great police officer for sure. What scenes have the most dirty talk from her? Anything stand out? What about the most orgasms from her? And what all POV films has she been in??? I should probably start another Penny Flame thread...

• Porn Star without Anal? Possible? 10/20/2006 5:57:42 PM
  
  I think all the girls that don't do anal have to try a lot harder during the sex or they don't get recognized or remembered. Also if the girl doesn't look that tight, or her vagina isn't that attractive (dark lips/hanging lips) or if she's average looking, she won't do as well. I think a lot of that is because directors are shooting all nude now. If you throw some clothes on her, give it a sexy plot or theme, suddenly it doesn't matter if it's just vaginal sex cause it's different from the 30+ titles she has out there. I think you can compensate with clothing, dialogue, facial expressions, faster paced sex, etc. Imagine Penny Flame in a cheerleader outfit. She does a cheer, then a BJ, then she's up against a wall getting pounding with h...
