So You Wanna Be A Big Shot Gonzo Porn Director?
here's the brutal reality of shooting for the top gonzo porn studios. Tony T directs for Anabolic, one of the top selling gonzo studios in the biz.
A TGP submitter makes more than these guys. According to Tony, his deal was to make movies with $23,000 budgets. "After ten movies from each company, you start getting a dollar a tape after the eleventh movie. For the first ten movies you don't make anything on them. But you have to wait six months until you start getting your dollar a tape; and the only money you make is whatever is left over from the budget. But you can look at my movies and tell from each scene how much was being spent, everyone's rate. All our scenes are three on one, two on one. The girls charge $1500, $1600. There's agency fees, locations, makeup. Each guy is $600, $700. I've made movies taking money out of my pocket. Balls deep. They cannot say I did anything bad for the company."

Damn, that is funny - anyone stupid enough to work for nothing and pay out of pocket for 10 movies gets what the deserve, the fucking of a lifetime courtesy of the fuck business.
NEVER WORK FOR FREE... and NEVER WORK for "later money"... because there is no later money. ;-) Alex |

It's all about male talent you guys...that's it. Once you find a guy who can hold wood, pop, and has a huge cock, you've got a commodity. And eventually they find out. If anyone here's ever been on set, male talent works just as hard - and lots of times harder - than fem talent. And if you've got a big cock, can hold wood, and pop at the right time, then you're a minimum of $400 in LA. And it goes up from there. I've paid $1000 for male talent, and you know what? I'm about to do it again in about 5 minutes...I've got a shoot going off soon. And the male talent I'm talking about - the $1000 guy I'm about to work with - will convert your galleries like a motherfucker. So that makes him worth every penny.

If it's that rough, why would anybody do it?
It's amazing that male talent makes that much. I always assumed their were line-ups of guys that would do it for free. |

The male talent rates seem on par and typical, and it is very true about the expense in black talent.
What I do find slightly humorous is some of the comments on how everyone could or would do it cheaper. Many are thinking with a internet mindset and not an industry mindset. There is ALOT more to the costs than just shooting the scenes and many seem to be missing this point. Trust me the directors/producers hit up Las Vegas, Brazil, Eastern Europe, and so on. Twenty three thousand may seem like alot, specially when few do not get the demand for good male talent and the costs. Just a basic run down would give you a good idea though. If your shooting a very bland girl/guy video at 5 scenes, nothing but vaginal sex. Girl costs: 5 times 800-1,000 (4,000-5,000) Guy costs: 5 times 400-700 (1,600-3,500) Total: 5,600-8,500 leaving 17,400-14,500 Now you got 5 scenes or do you? If your shooting POV you do, otherwise figure in another 500+ per scene for a quality shooter. (2,500) Budget left (14,900-12,000) Not a bad amount or is it? Subtract agent fee's say 100 per girl or another 500. Well do not forget the following expenses: Traveling expenses, Editing each scene, Making trailers, DVD authoring, Box cover design, Replicating the DVD's, Insert printing, and DVD blanks. Make to many copies and you loose money, do not make enough and the stores have to reorder and you need to get more made which costs money. Oh and do not forget that you will want trailers for your next movie on your current movie, so you better already have that shot right? Then your titles get shipped off to the distributors, who then ship them to the stores which many are on a 90-180 day net deal with the distributor so you do not get paid until the distributor does, and well sometimes the stores are not exactly paying promptly either. Toss in the element of piracy and so on and well it gets very unpretty. |

Maybe I?m wrong, but I only see male talent being an asset in couples and high end porn......or why is it that Ed P, Ron J & Dave C are still in front of the camera in porn? They all can do there job accordingly without difficulty but none of then are ?young studs?.

It seems to me that the distributors have set up a perfect system where they get suckers to spend all the money and all the time to turn out product, and they get to sell it and keep the money. (say they are making net $5 per unit... $10k per dvd X 10 = $100k made while you made SFA... that sounds like a really good business model to me!). I am seeing a system setup to make certain people rich will certain people get poorer, hopefully running out of money around DVD 9. Alex |

i pay guys 250 in usa. they are always the lovers of the girl models in real life, so they do get wood. i have paid as much as 400 in rare instances where he can do something unusual like let his girlfriend nail him with a strapon---but that's the highest i have ever paid a guy. but i don't pair unknown guys with unknown girls---i only shoot lovers---so there's no wood issues, no disease issues, and the content is real and hot. |
