I used to direct porn movies AMA

Mods: This is a discussion thread about a segment of the entertainment industry. For fuck's sake, don't be faggots about it.

did u stick it in the pusy to?

How did you get your start, and what brought you into porn?

I fucked a few of them. Not as many as you might think. Everyone in the industry gets a little bit on the side sooner or later.

Did you ever get jizz on you by accident?

How do I become a performer (male)? When I watch porn I notice most of the guys look like average schlubs like me

How many "shots" usually 1 scene takes?

Why isn't there any more pornkino?

I got my start by finding an industry forum, registering, and being extremely annoying with my opinions until I eventually got the attention of a producer who basically said, "Alright, put your money where your mouth is. You think you can do it better than me? I'll fund your first movie."

I was younger, lonelier, and bored. I watched a ton of porn back then and knew the industry inside and out. I can still identify a lot of scenes from pre-2010 on sight alone.

gayyyyy porn playa

nice

interesting if true

Porno has literally never been recorded on film or viewed on a television. Get this filth out of here.

Find a girl who wants to do it & make your debut with her. Nobody wants to waste their time on a new guy, but if you have a new girl with you, you'll get some attention.

Depends on the style you're shooting. Standard gonzo porn is like 10-12 shots max. Something more artsy like (((Blacked))) is more like 75+.

>Porno has literally never been recorded on film or viewed on a television.
That's not true. Plenty of pay for view porn channels and there were porno theaters back in the day.

Porn stars are very clean, generally speaking. You are literally more likely to get an STD at your local college bar.

You'll probably get herpes, but that's it. One HIV outbreak every 4-5 years is statistically amazing.

How often would you say this opportunity occurs? That you are given a 'shot' at crafting a format?

I see a good deal of porn that is shot horribly and I feel I can do a better job and have insight into a formula that works.

Why is it that so much porn sucks? Is it hard to change a format? How much artistic license are new comers given? Is there a lot of arrogance in the industry? What is your sentiment on the growing wave of amateur/amateur like porn? It blows my mind that it took so long for others to realize this trend change. How much disruption potential does one have in the industry?

>Something more artsy like (((Blacked))) is more like 75+.
What do you know about blacked seems more like propaganda than a business to me.

Fuck you. Kill yourself.

How often does anal leakage occur?

who is the best mommy pornstar

>Depends on the style you're shooting. Standard gonzo porn is like 10-12 shots max. Something more artsy like (((Blacked))) is more like 75+.
How many shots is the more amateur stuff? Seems it is a straight through take. Groups like 'girlsdoporn' seem to be getting the new formula/format right... Why is it that the industry lags when it is clear such groups are making a progressive splash? What kind of job can you get in analytics/advisement for how to shoot/format porn to continue riding the top of the industry's wave? I feel like I can provide good insights but wonder where I can apply them.

I side gigged as a boom guy on a porn shoot before. Not really as sexy or arousing as you'd think. In fact it was boring

BDSM/bondage question. How does it work. Are these girls warming up, stretching etc before? Some ties and positions are very stressful.
If these is a lot of very complicated ropework, how reshots and breaks are handled?

Are pornstars required to be tested for stds periodically?

>How often would you say this opportunity occurs? That you are given a 'shot' at crafting a format?

I wasn't really crafting a format, just making porn within an existing genre. (I shot gonzo.) It's extremely rare and I only know of one other guy who got his start in the same way. The only reason it worked for me is because I was borderline autistic with my opinions. I would literally post shot lists, camera angles, and cinematography tips.

>I see a good deal of porn that is shot horribly and I feel I can do a better job and have insight into a formula that works.

Indeed. Prove it by showing your knowledge. Annoy the shit out of the people in charge. One of them will listen, eventually.

Porn is cheap. Most producers are lazy and don't care about their product. They are either sex addicts or drug addicts & they use the industry as a vehicle to satisfy their addictions. The big studios like Brazzers are all owned by tube sites & they exist solely to funnel new content to the tube sites so they get more traffic.

I can count the number of producers who actually care about their craft on one hand. Rocco Siffredi, Jay Sin, Greg Lansky even though he's part of (((the agenda))). Axel Braun puts a lot of effort into his shitty parodies. (They're very well made for what they are, but nobody watches porn to laugh at a shitty parody.)

Artistic license is entirely dependent on how well your titles sell. If you run your own site, you have as much as you want.

Not a lot of arrogance among directors or male performers. Most producers are pretty arrogant. Female talent goes both ways.

Interracial porn has always been a big genre.
desu desu, the blacked.com shit looks and feels like a cheezy way of capturing a high end market that is more willing to pay for subscription access via high-def porn shots w/ normie like classing up. I'm pretty sure, if you opened up their clientele info the analytics would show that its mainly middle/upper-middle class women who consume their content. You can tell by the feel of their content who they're aiming it at. Given the untapped potential of that market and the likelihood that they'll pay a premium consistently, I can see the business case for that website. As a man, their shit just feels corny and overdone.
> K jail looking nigger, act like you have class and have dignity and just got invited in by a rich queenslay to rock her world. No thug shit. Be classy !

There's no hidden agenda.. This is just tailored towards a middle/upper middle class woman who wants to fantasize about fucking a jail nigger in her luxurious home in safety while her husband or lack thereof is absent. It's not meant to appeal to men.. I'm sure they're not the target market.

It's propaganda. Lansky is a legit perv and he is quite passionate about his product, but it's propaganda. He doesn't profit from Blacked. I think Tushy makes a small profit. Nobody even knows about Vixen, so he's definitely not profiting from that. Someone is bankrolling him.

cost. time is money. why waste time/money/effort when you can make an acceptable gonzo movie?

can you post some of your scenes so we can see what you did differently from the average lazy porn hack?

>mainly middle/upper-middle class women who consume their content
Really, why do you say that? Didn't think the women market was that big. I though it was cucks and black guys mainly.

i gotta say man, this is the best thread on the catalog

do you sperg out when you see a unrealistic porn scene in a wannabe porn movie?

Often. Usually not in large quantities because the girls take an enema before anal scenes, but you'll see little rivulets of shit like 10% of the time.

It becomes routine. Was pretty exciting for me the first 2-3 months, but I was a major porn addict at the time & my producer made sure to set me up with one of the performers, so I felt like I was in heaven.

It wears off.

Never shot bondage.

Yes. There's no law requiring it, but no reputable studio will work with a performer who doesn't have a recent test. The current standard is no older than two weeks. Some studios require no older than one week.

More importantly, and I'm fairly sure you can't answer this, but WHO THE FUCK KEEPS PAYING FOR PORN!? I refuse to believe these people exist but they must exist or there wouldn't be so much porn out there.

I directed for Legalporno. Look up Sineplex and I did about half of the content between 2015-2016.

Why did you stop?
How much money did you make?
What are the performers like? How did they respond to direction?
Did people use drugs on the set? Do the guys all take weird shit for their dicks?

Post? is there a watering hole for this kind of stuff?

> Indeed. Prove it by showing your knowledge. Annoy the shit out of the people in charge. One of them will listen, eventually.
Thanks, I'll add it to my bucket list of things to do.
It really puzzles me why so much stuff is shot so bad. For instance, I see bbw genre films and it's like they've got the worst camera angles and positions ever. Soy boys hardly hittin that ass... Gotta get some deep drillers opening em up meng. I always find myself ffw'ding looking for that right angle or shot and its formulaic in nature. I'm sure this is why they have the ffwd bookmark tracking enabled on web porn now to show where there statistical interest is in a shot. At this point I can clearly assume what kind of analytics algorithms they're imploring to better understand what scenes/positions/etc people like. Thing is, there will always be a lack of insight as to what it is using such algorithms.

It shows.. What's the deal w/ the tube sites though? It's all free porn? is the upsell features they have or will continue to integrate into the site? What's the money maker?

> Your extended commentary about the industry
Thank you for answering my questions in detail user.
It seems, in this day in age with equipment being so cheap and the ability to create one's own website, the best way to disrupt things is to start your own content production. I just wonder w/ all the tube sites, if this is really profitable?

I think the main income for porn industry is ad revenue from tube sites.

They exist by the tens of thousands. Porn has whales like any other addiction-based industry does.

>autism leads to success
just like in movies

..this actually sounds plausible.

Who is the best performer that you filmed?

Is Manuel Ferrari really _that_ good?

And my Animes!

I don't care if this is fake, the thought of someone shitposting themselves into a porn career is a great story fictional or not.

have you ever worked with "ourguy"

Why are moble posters that spam garbage all the time such liars?

>Why did you stop?

There was no one reason. I looked at my place in life and decided I didn't want to remain there. Porn is an isolating industry and you have to be comfortable living with the taboo of being involved. Also...

>How much money did you make?

Nominally I made a lot of money, but I had some payment disputes with one of my producers and never received all of it.

>What are the performers like? How did they respond to direction?

Highly variable. Most male talent is cool because the industry will just dump them if they're too much of a pain in the ass. Female talent is all over the map. Lots of very nice girls & lots of complete monsters.

>Did people use drugs on the set? Do the guys all take weird shit for their dicks?

I never saw anyone taking drugs on set, but some people came to shoots having taken drugs beforehand.

A lot of the older guys use Viagra. Younger guys favor Caverject, which is more reliable, but also way more dangerous. One of our actors (Rico Strong) took too much and had to be rushed to the hospital so they could drain the blood out of his dick before the tissue died. They literally have to stick two massive needles in your penis, through the head and straight down the entire shaft, to drain it all out.

I assume you are the same lp insider who has been posting in older threads, which girls did you fuck? I noticed their forums seem quite active with the people there listening to suggestions, unlike the big American porn networks which seem uninterested in what their audiences think. Do you have any experience with vr porn? That's a market that's in desperate need of actual audience feedback because most people running these studios seem utterly clueless and incompetent in both production and marketing. I guess it's still too early for the market and there's not enough money to make for them to give a fuck

There's a lot here and I'm going to cherry pick so I have time to answer other people.

Tube sites make money from the ads. Most big tube sites are linked to a major studio & it's basically vertical integration. Brazzers owns Pornhub. Legalporno owns Xvideos (and DDF). Et cetera.

Setting up your own site is profitable. Make a distribution deal with Stagliano to resell your old scenes on DVD. He is currently hemorrhaging directors and would probably take you if you're halfway decent.
