I've become friends with a gal from a couple of hours away (via the net) that asked me about how the porn industry works. She assumed since I do amateur photography I would know. I don't do "porn" so I couldn't answer and thought maybe someone could help me answer her question for her.

She is planning on doing some homeade high quality digital porn and selling it to a company that will distribute it on there own. Minimal work for her and she still gets some dollars on the side (she is an exhibitionist and not really after gobs of money).

She had been talking to a guy that told her some of the inside dirt but he hasn't been back online to finish explaining. What he said was.

There are companies out there that will pay $200 to $400 bucks for one hour of footage. The "value" is determined by the quality of the gal, quality of the footage, and the activities contained within.

She will be doing pure masturbation with various toys and such so would be around the $200 mark.

Her biggest question is how does she track down these companies. I assume they are online companies that pay minimal and sell for big bucks online to various online porn companies.

Anyway, if you know an answer then give me a yell so I can let her know.

Thanks.

i do know the justice dept has an entire team of lawyers to try and keep porn within "sensible limits" that dept was pretty much shut down during the Clinton admin. but has revived (read funding) under current political leaders. that down time is the main reason that porn has enjoyed it's wide spread availibilty, but could come under scrunity in the near future. the main targets are small porn producers that specialize in less mainstream types of porn such as, fisting and simulated rape.

your probably asking "how does this perv know this stuff?" it was on PBS a documentary called "American Porn":redflip

i work in the porn industry. for what she is gonna do (self masturbation) theres not much demand for that. so she needs to contact the porn companies that market in amatuer porn. JM productions is one i can think of. the better looking she is the better she will get paid and maybe receive demand. tell her to go to an adult book store and pick up an AVN magazine. theres tons of advertising for amateur porn companies....however i dont see a demand for masturbation. also most companies may not wanna deal with someone far away when los angeles has thousands of models that are less difficult to deal with (location is closer) and are willing to do anything for $$$
sorry but for your friend to break into porn she would prolly need to come out to LA

You are technically basterdizing my thread LOL but I'll reply to this. That was old news. The show you watched was nailing this "new" movie with Alisha Klass and Chloe in it. That movie has been out for a few years now.

When they attacked that movie they brought about their own demise. It was at that point ruled not illegal. That is when Penthouse and Hustler started showing penetration. Penthouse has even shown a few shots of fisting.

Anyway, this gal intends to do masturbation. Useing hands and toys. She won't be getting 'supafreak' at least I don't think she will anyway. LOL

Bear in mind that the movie industry and the internet porn industry differ greatly. The search/interest in female masturbation is at an all time high on the internet right now. That is also where she intends to sell. Not to actual video tape producers.

As for her looks... lets just say she is plenty fine in the looks department and a killer body.

I'll tell her to look for this magazine. Can't say I've ever seen it at the local "toy shop". LOL But I'll look again whenever we visit again. AVN.... Would that be Adult Video News?

I checked out their site. Not much in the way of helpful info there. If you are willing to send a copy I'd be happy to have it. Go to PMs?

Umm, who are you talking to?

 

[ziadel]

why doesn;t she just go the simple route and be a stripper or something??
?

She has gone that route. The closest place to strip in an hour and a half from here. The places around here are horrible for tipping so she was only making at best $400 to $500 a week. Take out gas money for a 3 hour daily drive, baby sitter, and such and it didn't add up to much. Plus she had to deal with guys that would get "too" frisky and have no help from the lazy ass bouncers.

The final straw was she hurt her hip BAD and the owner of the club told her to get on stage or she was gone. She went on stage and messed it up worse (her entire right hip was one big bruise the next day - looked awful) and she had to pay for a rather expensive doctor visit. He told her to quit dancing or learn to quit walking soon.
