I don’t want to watch a video filmed on an iFuck, I want a decent quality scene. There is a place for POV using a smaller but still quality video camera (they were being done for movies in the early to mid 2000’s — POV isn’t new by any means), those only cost a few hundred dollars but too many performers doing them will saturate the market and then every OnlyFans, FanCentro, etc. performer doing them will see their profit margins drop precipitously.

As for these performers working for traditional directors, they still need to do 10-12 movies a year to keep their names out there so they can then guide their fans into their Only Fans, FanCentro, etc. accounts. I don’t expect them to all turn into prima donnas anytime soon (a few will but that would have happened anyway).

What the market requires is jerky pov portrait shot video.

She & other content traders have great ROI, invest $0 in talent fee and make thousand$ while they show up to paid shoots with sore pussy & cock and expect $1000-$1500. If i was a director in porn valley, I wouldn’t hire any performer with a OF or JFJ.

However, that means her “stunt cock” also has rights to use the scene and that might reduce the amount of money she makes off of her site since the scene someone might be looking for might be available elsewhere. It is a way to get started and get some money rolling to buy proper equipment and fund future scenes but once established I would recommend the ladies limit content trade scenes and just pay the “stunt cock” for his time. That way, you have the only rights to the scene and people can only legally get it from you (unless you assign the rights away). Also, do a search for your scenes on Google and write out the necessary DMCA notices to get your scenes off of the tube sites (or if your site has hundreds of scenes on it hire the task out). Also, read the section 2257 law and follow it by the letter. Get legal advice from an adult film industry attorney on how to do this. If you don’t, you will go to federal prison for not doing so at some point — guaranteed (now that I think of it that might be a way to get rid of Trinity St. Clair — I doubt she has section 2257 paperwork on the videos of her johns fucking her and she was posting them to her site at one point)!!!!!!!!!!

However, for filming scenes and for streaming it is not acceptable to use a cell phone camera. If a performer routinely makes $9K per month using her cell phone camera she will likely make $15K with a decent dedicated movie camera. She might get people in the door with a cell phone camera but her re-bills will increase drastically with even a $2K digital movie camera and a decent tripod. Most people want high quality scenes and clips, not some grainy cell phone camera.

Fans are inundated with all the “higher production value” content they can handle, for free! The fans subscribing to OF want real world stuff, her behind the scenes, real life, or at least what the girl wants to put off as real world. The fact that it is cell phone cams shot like crap just pulls off that whole look and feel of being amateur, spur of the moment stuff.

What you think doesn’t matter. Money talks, a chick making 10k a mth doesn’t need to buy any equipment.

Which means that is all profit.

Only a moron with more money then brains would buy that.

As for camera and lighting equipment, if a girl is bringing in $14K per month off of OnlyFans (about $8K after taxes and ancillary related expenses) and the like they don’t have any reasonable excuse not to spend $4K on a nice professional video camera, a professional tripod and professional lighting. Hell, a girl with that kind of cash coming in can have her suitcase pimp learn how to operate a video camera and have him do it. Using a cell phone camera for this purpose is asinine and ruins their chances of getting repeat business. They also need to move into a house (or rent a small studio facility which they could sublease to other producers while not using it him/herself like James Mogul, JP the Pope and Fivestar have had to do for their Kink productions; JP advertises his studio heavily for that purpose — just don’t do it in LA County or you will pay dearly with jail and fines for no permit/no condumms) where some part looks nice and can be dedicated to filming, preferably away from LA County’s discriminatory and asinine film permit process for the adult film industry.
