Pineapples Test Kitchen (BRAND NEW SCENES)

Hi Pineapple, any news?

There is a unique opportunity currently in the US to shoot two gorgeous women; Mira Monroe 1.5m and Olivia Madison 1.93m who seem to like each other a lot, based on their interactions on social media. They have both done anal and Mira has also done DP while Olivia seems to love BBC.
If there ever was a reason to get back to shooting porn, these two in the same scene together would be it!

If it included all of the above - and was in the Pineapples style - I would buy the hell out of that scene with these two.

Hoping for Kuckmal scene for Christmas 2022!

Although I missed the golden opportunity to deliver an alliterative Kuckmal Khristmas this year, it’s safe to say that you haven’t seen the last of Pineapples Studio.

I don’t believe in riling you guys up if there’s nothing new to report, so for now it’s still radio silence from my end of the conversation. I’m not dead. I haven’t retired.

It is legally ambiguous. There is no direct ban on pissing in the United States, and technically speaking, it is protected by the First Amendment right to free expression by default. However...

There is an exception to the right to free expression for "obscenity," which is not protected by the First Amendment. The problem is that no legal definition of "obscenity" exists. If the question ever arises, a jury will decide whether you committed an "obscene" act of free expression ex post facto using something called the Miller test, which provides that they should apply the moral and ethical standards of their local community to make their determination. In practice, that basically just means the jury is free to decide on their own whims. It's an incredibly inconsistent way to determine if speech is "obscene," and it forces certain people who operate on the fringes of society (such as pornographers) to walk on eggshells and be very careful about what they shoot, lest some redneck country jury in Buttfuck, Alabama should ever be offended by it and label it "obscene."

The Miller test has been used against pornographers in the past, such as Max Hardcore, who was convicted under its terms and actually sent to federal prison for four years. Obscenity is a hard concept to define; as one judge famously said, "I know it when I see it." Well, that's fair enough, and I appreciate the difficulty of crafting a solid, all-encompassing definition of the word, but I'm not going to play against those odds.

It's an antiquated law, but one that has been used within the 21st century.

Thanks for the information! That's crazy! I didn't know that Max Hardcore went to jail! I saw few things from him but I liked his porn with cute young women.
He just see that he is dead. Rest in Piss Max! ;-)
I read on papers that he tortured women... Was he so bad to women? I was too young to remember...

Actually, I don’t know. Max Hardcore was before my time & I never found his work very arousing.

From the “they’re sabotaging the studios zomg” thread:

This might be a bit offtopic but since Mr. Pineapple is very active here and i quite appreciate to follow this thread I would like to ask some questions and would appreciate if you liked to maybe answer them.
I checked your productions and i can only refer to the trailers and screens, they are well made and i would guess the scenes are pretty good overall.

The scenes with the euro girls look like they were shooted in the Gonzo or Prague studio, the scenes with american girls looks like they were shot, where also the American Anal scenes were shot.
Did you have to rent those sets? And were the scenes generally not selling good or were production costs just exceeding the income? You also had multiple girls in every scene and you pointed out it's what you like to produce, which i guess made production quite costly.

The Prague scenes were shot in the Gonzo studio, which I rented in the same way as you might rent an event space for a wedding reception. I’m not sure where the American Anal scenes are shot. My scenes with U.S. girls were shot in various rental properties available on the open market for porn shoots.

The scenes were all test runs to evaluate the feasibility of long-term production. They sold decently. Revenue was high enough that I could have kept going, but not as high as I wanted it to be. I’ve also got a busy personal life and I don’t want to sustain a long-term production for modest returns. It was a personal choice to stop; I wasn’t “forced out”.

Having multiple girls (which is definitely my preference) increases production costs and tightens profit margins by a lot.

The US production nieche seems to have vanished completely so despite the models consistenly shooting, probably because they are safe bet (they know the producer, the producer no they will deliver so there is no risk), you rarely see american talents.

What do you mean? U.S. porn production continues unabated.

Do you mean here on this site specifically?

Your first scenes were shot in the US so i would just assume you live there. I don't know the background why american productions stopped for AV, if the kind of content is too expensive, if models are not willing to shoot thos scenes due to OF or if it's due to some other restrictions like pee being forbidden (production probably likewise selling)

Overall production costs are higher in the U.S.

Also the models you had i think were quite popular and your releases for example were the last from Nikki Hill and she is really beautiful. Others were quite repeating though, for the timespan that may have been a bit (3 models starring 3 times in 10 total scenes)

This is a consequence of operating as a small-scale studio. If I only shoot 10 scenes, but I’m flying in a girl from another country, I don’t want to spend all that money for her travel expenses just to make one scene with her. No way! I need to do many scenes with her. So the result is that you have repeat models. I tried to differentiate the scenes by their content rather than by their performers, although I could have do a much better job of communicating that through the trailers. Each production “block” will feature a different set of models as well, so it won’t end up being the same models over and over and over again for eternity. Last point is that I’m one studio in a sea of dozens of competitors. If I release one scene per week, is it really so bad that I am repeating models when you have so many other options for other models in the meantime?

Maybe due to the release schedule some of your scenes just unfortunately slipped through and somehow didn't caught to much attention. Also i have a xvid red sub and i couldn't find your studio or scenes offered there.

Yep, that’s because I’ve been inactive. I’ll need to set that up.

Maybe you could become the new american girl producer for AV if my assumption was correct :P , maybe you can give some feedback on how you reflect now on producing your scenes.

Long-term plan is to operate two “arms” of production: a unit in Prague and a unit in the U.S.

There are some things I need to change behind the scenes to make the unit in Prague viable long-term, but everything I have done there (including the use of rented studio space) has been with the intention of setting up that unit as one of two operating arms of production. I need it to be able to function without my physical presence.

[Pineapples Studio]

I don’t want to give away my plans, but I’ll say that I’ve spent the last couple of years on three major improvement goals for long-term viability:

1. Accumulation of capital
2. Stabilization of the Prague production pipeline (e.g. Am I working there in a way that will remain viable long-term? If not, what needs to change?)
3. Development of a permanent studio space in the U.S.

And believe it or not, the long-term goal is to operate primarily within the U.S. with additional content shot in Prague as a supplement.

Hey thanks for your reply.

yeah i meant U.S. girls on this site specially, of course there are model like Anna Deville or Rebel Rhyder working for Gio is what i meant as a safe bet. There are some scenes with other models but not in the extent to the studio gangbang production scenes, what probably makes the productions on the site standout compared to other productions.
Girls like Gia Derza, Emma Rosie, Hazel Moore or Erin Everheart just to name a few in the AV or your style of production just feels rare, but i don't have that much overview. I just thought that could be a niche.

Explanation of model choice absolutely makes sense, the statement was a bit too critical and under the assumptions sales weren't high so it was a bit speculative.

I somehow completely disregarded the aspect that it is not only about keeping the production going, but also the expectations of the producer to how the effort, energy and time you put into production should be rewarded.

Everything you do seems realistic and well considered, so I am sure you will make the right decision.

Regardless of whether you decide to start shooting again or not i wish you all the best and good luck for the future.

As in any business, the two largest expenses are labor and rent. Prague is absolutely cheaper than the U.S. in both of these areas. Another consideration is equipment, mostly lighting, which you can either rent (adding to your overall rent expense, which is already your second-highest cost) or purchase outright (which is crazy expensive and only worth doing if you’ve solidified a long-term production system).

True there a lot of things to consider and I am sure after your testrun it is a kind of do or do not situation, i don't think it is possible to do that just alongside and it really needs the commitment.
Of course planning on the long run there will be the point where it is more economical to have own equipment or even a studio, but it is a heavy investment in the beginning. From organising to video editing and releasing, reaching the most potential customers and so on is just much more work as many would probably assume.
Well i guess most is covered by the other thread.

And i still believe despite difficult times that there still is place for very good producers and while it feels like there is some stagnation in development of scenes the pinnacle of quality for scenes or content hasn't been reached. (Maybe thats just an illusion, that there could always be a better scene)
Yet i believe there still are potential customers not quite convinced to buy a certain scene but they would if you hit the nail right on the head.

I dont think multiple girls b/g scenes are still feasible to shoot neither in Prague lest US if you are looking for a decent and not only a production sustainable profit.
Question thus is if you dont want to shoot in Colombia with much cheaper girls fees would you do it in Brasil? Or do you rather plan to change content and your vision?

[Pineapples Studio]

I’d shoot in Brazil, but not Colombia. I’m not anti-Colombiana, it’s just not a place I am willing to shoot.

As for the feasibility of multi-girl scenes, they’re still being produced. The main factor that will have to change is the scene price, which has gotta go up. There’s no other way for it to remain viable.

But do you have plans regarding filming in Russia or Russian girls in Europe, or is it not an option due to the geopolitical issue? It would be amazing if you could recreate the atmosphere of the sineplex SOS scenes

[Pineapples Studio]

Filming in Russia is not an option.
