    Hardware said "My take, since this industry is all about the hot, new chick, I would think that the hotter the producer thinks you are, the more he's going to be willing to invest to get that anal scene. So, like Selena said, I'll take the flat-rate theory with mucho sal, por favor." I'm guesssing your referring to my post? If so, maybe I'm being dense, but I always said prices were give or take. Who knows what someone will offer or accept on any given day. That's just the way entertainment works, for cast and crew. Sometimes you'll take less money to work for someone you really want to work for, maybe it'll gain you a favor, maybe you don't want to do a job but it pays too much to ignore, maybe you haven't worked in months, ma...

    OK FWIW I talked to a couple of my porn industry friends in the past few days. For a gonzo girl that isn't new, isn't famous, 750-850 a scene(with anal). For a certain large company with a lot of leverage I guess, $1250 for a DP, give or take. Couldn't tell you how famous the person is, but they'd have to be at a minimum pretty hot. Like I said before, i'd take it with a grain of salt what the girls claim in public to make. If you're a name like selina silver or whoever, I coudn't tell ya what they make. But for an average girl, those are the figures I was quoted. Good luck to all.

    I think 9-12k for a production would be a gonzo type shoot, with a few hand held cameras, using the director as talent, etc. Also, if you're paying a girl $600 to get fucked in the ass, how much are you paying the cameraman/grip/gaffer/pa for a daily rate? Maybe 150 bucks? The people I know, working in adult video production and magazine work, make truly rotten money after years in the business. Just like in mainstream hollywood, the money stays at the top, except it seems even moreso, since there are no unions in adult.

    Ejac wrote: I wasn't referring to contract girls, but ones contemplating entering the business. Seems if they're a little unsure, throwing in an extra grand could be the deal maker. It could be explained that after a couple of appearances, standard rates would apply. Just seems like good business sense. Edited to add - scenario such as GirlinDC suggested, and that I don't mean to derail the thread. Edited by - ejac on 8/15/2005 10:24:09 PM I hear what you're saying, but with the gorgeous talent available (eastern euro girls for example), a girl would about have to about have two heads to get bonus money like that. I'm just talking out my A**, since I've never heard of bonus money except for doing additional scenes, more guys, etc. May...

    Producers/directors routinely squeeze the girls to get every ounce of performance out of them for the least amount, getting them to perform more for less money. It's just the nature of the beast. A girl would have to be really special to get a bonus. Edited by - johnny1290 on 8/15/2005 10:22:50 PM

    These are good approx. numbers for pay scale. They make their real money doing privates or going feature dancing. The more boxcovers they're in and more famous they get, the higher their rates. Most do privates, aka escorting. It's par for the course for the girls to inflate their rates when talking to the media, and to always deny they escort. What would you do? Of course the rates slide up and down depending on the actress and how badly she needs money at the moment. "Here are some of the AVERAGE rates we pay and have heard are industry standards and they vary based on the performer. Solo - $100 - $150 an hour w/ 2 hour minimum G/G - $200 - $400 B/G - $500 - 600 B/G/Anal - $800 - $1200 Again these are GENERAL. I am sure the rat...
