hyapet wrote:Listen - and listen well - these are the following reasons this will (probably) never work:
1 - Look at the community here. Almost every single person (including myself) think that their own personal preference on what should be in a porno is the gold standard. Where this becomes tricky is when you start getting certain folks who want certain things that for other people is an absolute no-go. So, if half of the people willing to put money into a DAP gangbang want piss - and the other half don't - somebody is going to be walking away very disappointed from that. The minute you ask for people's money beforehand is when you're inviting their direct input into what's going to go into that production. And let me tell you - straight up - as much as I like this community and the people in it, for better or worse, there is approximately a one in ten chance I'm going to put bank into a production with their preferences attached into it.
2 - Actresses don't work for single productions. If you think that an actress will go nuts about a single shoot - even for a high sum - you're sadly mistaken. The amount of time, preparation, and bother that it takes to make a single shoot, really makes shooting three to five of them the bare minimum. Not just this - but you're not taking into effect the fact that you have to pay for their travel - for their lodging - for their food - for everything else that only a full-time serious production house can provide when they put down roots. So, what, you're going to pay an actress $8,000, and then expect her to pay $3,000 just so she can make it to your shoot and stick around?
Not just this - but they keep actresses in houses for a reason. Not that every actress behaves in such a manner (but certainly a lot of them have in the past) - but when the actress is on site, you want them to essentially stay put within their lodgings. You don't want them going out, possibly drinking, possibly taking drugs, and (most importantly) possibly fucking other people - because then you have you to redo all the STD tests. Most actresses know this - but having the lodgings on site, and most likely the contractual agreements that pretty much make them stay put during it, ensures that "nothing unpredictable can happen."
3 - Actresses again - You something think that the door preventing young beautiful women from shooting DAP porn is a couple thousand extra dollars. It's ... so much more than that. The benchmark of OF happening to porn did a lot of things - but a couple of the things it really accomplished were as follows. Girl's don't look at themselves as "actresses" or "models" anymore - they look at themselves as entrepreneurs. Meaning - they're their own agent. Meaning that they take things such as ladder rung breaks - potential audience - and their own brand very seriously.
These girls aren't thinking about how to make a quick buck - or get a big pay day - they're thinking about how to expand their network so, with the power of barely showing half of a nipple - they can pull in 300,000 a month. And, really, that's fucking smart. Not just because of the sum total of the money - but because they understand that their beauty most likely has a best-before date. And with the turn of a couple of bad months - a sag here or there - a wrinkle here or there - they can start shaving the zero's off of the total sum of money they pull in every month. They've got a very limited amount of time to hit it big and cash that bank.
What does this mean? That means the truly beautiful women you would want in these productions - the kind of girls that would be able to easily gather $20,000 of crowd investment - see that as absolute chump change. You can take that $20,000 keks, and shove it up your own ass, is what they'll be thinking. That's double to triple of what you would want to give them. So ...
4 - Studs - Here's the thing most people unfamiliar with actually producing porn aren't aware of - it takes time to both train and familiarize studs with each other and themselves. If you don't think they're doing the next to impossible with what they have in the shoots where they are familiar with one another - then you have no idea what a shoot actually entails. And even then, it hardly works out perfectly. You've finally got a good DAP sequence going - everything is going as planned - and then you're biggest guy blows his load and creates a super-sized mess. He's going to be out for at least a chunk of time - you have to clean everything up - and everyone falls out of rhythm - and not just this - but his final cumshot is going to be a ton weaker (if you don't shoot it at the beginning - which is risky as well - because then there's a chance they're going to be a lot less energetic and softer during the shoot itself).
It takes a good few months to get a sequence of studs familiar with other - on the same page - and knowing how to read each other's body language to know how to progress properly in a scene. Not only this - but to synchronize their energies - and to actually make a scene. I could go on forever with this - but this is where it just starts. Oh - and good luck finding some studs who want to work for a single scene.
5 - Camera - Lighting - Stage/Set - Editors - Everything Else - You seem to be approaching this from the angle of thinking that the actress is the only thing you have to pay for. No, there are the studs, the camera man, the camera itself, the editor, graphic designers, and then the people to go and set up the website/sell the scene to other studios/deliver the scene to your clients. Like ... do you think this stuff is all free? And ... what are you going to do? Skimp on this stuff? Where are you going to shoot it? In a professional looking studio? What do you think that costs? That's right - money. So ... that extra $2,000 you think you can give the actress, is going to come with an additional $10,000 - $20,000 for the rest of the production (minimum).
You think the people here are going to be thrilled to fork over $30,000 for an amateur hour production with some OF unknown?
6 - Consistency - There's a reason why studios are formed - and why they take years to really get off the ground. There are so many moving parts - and so many elements - that you really need an actual business in charge to make sure everything arrives when it needs to and everything gets done in the manner it should (re: professionally). Okay ... so let's say you've actually built a team of studs who can throw down a good shoot ... what then?
You're going to tell them that the next time they get to work is in two weeks to a month when you can crowdfund enough money to get the next OF girl you want? You think that crowd wants to see anything but the most professional actors and the most professional laying of pipe they've ever seen? They're putting good money on the line - if something goes wrong - or you don't deliver on any one of the shoots (presuming you've got the capacity to get more than one going) - then your past doners might not come forward on your next shoot. Donations or crowdfunding isn't the same as sales. Sales are for a finished product - the customer actually wants that product. Crowdfunds are for a promise - and if the customer doesn't actually want the product you deliver - you've lost them forever.
7 - Legalities.
Do you have a lawyer that's well versed in pornographic law ready to come up with the contracts that will prevent you from getting sued? Are you well versed in the legal boundaries of what's to be carried out in a shoot (what's allowed and what isn't - the procedures - and everyone's rights) - and what the actresses' legal rights are? You think she won't sue your ass to the other side of the planet if anything unexpected happens? Yeah ... okay.
8 - Get fucking real.
So far - your "propositions" have amounted to paying a girl a couple thousand more than she otherwise would have been paid - and then she throws out her entire future plans and career so she can come and get BBC DAP'd at ... what ... your fucking house with a couple of complete fucking unknowns?
You know why I wrote all of this out? Because you're spamming every other fucking topic in the forum with this bullshit. If this were a viable alternative - the actual studio heads would have thought of and pulled this off themselves. And, even if they didn't, even if they wouldn't, and even if they couldn't - but you somehow could - you've displayed absolutely zero knowledge and where-with-all with what actually goes on inside of this industry.
You're, literally, acting like the kid who gets a camcorder, a bicycle, and thinks he's going to shoot the next major blockbuster on the weekend with his friends. They've even got fake blood! Wow - this is a guaranteed success.
That's how a lot of people start out - but then it takes years of study, networking, and getting their shit together before they can even approach an art-house type of film.
Have you seen dap-addict on these forums? He's someone with decades of actual industry experience. And he's spent years researching how to properly approach creating a very basic studio. This is business, son. Not a weekend adventure on Gofundme.
Now - answer how you're going to overcome these hurdles - like, actual researched answers that can stand up to reality, not some "I think" bullshit - or else I'm just going to spam this response to every single time you bring this up on, literally, every other thread in this forum. Which, newsflash, is not a great way to endear other people to your cause.
Trust me when I say - other people, far smarter, more capable, and with tons more experience - have looked at this idea and turned away from it. Who knows - maybe you've got an angle that no one else does - but from what I've seen of your posts - not really.
Most of the hurdles that are facing you are obstacles that can't be overcome with anything other than a perfect streak of luck. That's not to say there aren't solutions that haven't been thought up of yet. But, really, with the amount of insight you've provided into how you're going to make this work, it's not very inspiring.
I'm not wishing you any ill will - but from what it sounds like - you need a reality check.
Either answer all my questions with solid answers that can stand up to actual reality - or leave the other 20 topics that haven't had you post this in them on this forum alone.
First of all, man, thank you for so detailed answer, I really appreciate it and it was interesting to read!Now I want to discuss it a bit:
1. True, many people thinks that their own personal preference on what should be in a porno is the gold standard. But, I think most of people here will agree on basic things, like anal sex, gangbangs, young new actresses who would perform anal, right? That's the base all us want or most of us. All another, like pissing, manhandling, color of the high heels is details, which is ALSO will be possible to control by users on crowdfunding platform. For example if you don't like pissing in scenes and want to see pretty young actress with natural tits who performing DAP, Gapes and cum swallow only - you could initiate a crowdfunding for that, don't think thats your preferences so unique thats you won't find any other people who will support it by their 5$. I know what I'm talking about because I'm making successful videogames for adults, even with very specific genres, like furry, prolapses or vomit you will find a lot of people who like it. If we are talking about something gerenal (base), like DAP+Gapes+Cum Swallow we are talking about literally millions of potential supporters.
2. True, usually actress shooting in several scenes during her business trip, and it's cool. Even if only one scene will be paid by supporters from crowdfunding it would be already nice for her and for studio, because studio will save the money and she will got the support from her audience. I didn't say thats crowdfunding should cover all the costs of production, including travel costs. Just payment for shooting for actress, that's it. All another costs should pay the studio, as usual, because they will have the exclusive right to sell the scene after. Even supporters of crowdfunding platform could watch the scene on a platform of studio, like pornbox, using specific promocode from studio of something like that. I'm talking about only the support of actresses, nothing more than that, maybe even some bonuses from crowdfunding platform like bonus for young age before 22 or bonus for registration for a new talents. I want to see more young girls in hard porn(I thing many people will agree with me here, right?), that's why.
3. Man, a lot of beautiful girls just selling their body for 60-100eur per hour, look at sexomercadobcn website, you will see there a lot of super hot girls, who working every day as a dicksuckers, for hours. They wish to have more money for less hours, but they don't know how to do it, they need transparent platform, clean rules, simple registration, they need to see how much money they will have BEFORE they will shoot. The platform like this, with simple entrance and clean rules simply doesn't exist yet, we have some "model agencies", like in 60s or 70s, which girl need to find by herself, or websites of directors, like
https://giorgiograndi.eu/giocom/page/the-production without registration form even, which barely any girl will find, it's hard. Literally potential young hot actresses and porn studios existing in different realities.
A lot of girls without any experience is shooting in hard studios like facialabuse for couple of hundreds of dollars, man, that's sick, they are absolutely underpaid and used. And you are talking about some ig celebrities, or girls who acting like entrepreneurs and wants to have 300000 for showing her nipple. Why are you talking about them, not about something more simple? Think wider
But even for them! Imagine if Belle Delphine will be able to have 1 million dollars for DAP scene on GIO stage? Do you think it's impossible for her to collect this money from crowdfunding platfrom? I bet she will have it for a week or less. So even for truly beautiful woman and ig celebrities it's a giant possibility to get super rich.
4. To find studs, to put them in the order, to train and familiarize studs, to synchronize them in a right rhythm - is a business of a director, it's not a business of crowdfunding. I'm talking only for covering the payment of an actress, about transparent, clean and friendly service for actresses, for users and for studios, nothing more than that. My idea is not to make a new production - the platform would work with existing studios, who have experience, production process, studs, cameras etc. The good products should make professionals.
5. Production costs and process is a deal of studios, as I said before. They will have exclusive rights to sell the scene after shooting, and they will save money for payment to actress, that's why this should be profitable for them.
6. I thing I've just wrote that's I'm not talking about new production, so all you wrote about "built a team of a studs" it's not about mine idea (maybe I wasn't too clean in my first post on this topic about that and sorry for my English, it's not my native language) About Consistency - the platform shouldn't interrupt usual production process for studios, it just will helping the studios to cut the costs. If they booked a actress for 5 scenes and payment for actress for just one scene will covered by crowdfunding - isn't it would be profitable for studio anyway? Actress will have some extra money and studio won't pay her for 1 scene, cause she will got paid by crowdfunding. Situation win-win.
And again - crowdfunding platform is not about any of production process, it's about funding actress and for some instruments of control for users.
It's about transparent, easy registration platform, which will combine studios, actresses and users in one and would be profitable for everybody.
You can compare crowdfunding platform with model agencies and porn scouts, not with studios with production.
And it's was a bit funny when I read "Sales are for a finished product - the customer actually wants that product." This topic is basically about the opposite, studios making content THEY want, they are simply don't even ask users about anything.
To say that's people want it because they buy it is like to say that's people in a Soviet grocery store wants a rotten potatoes because they buy it. Or people wanted to watch Soviet TV which showing boring congresses of the CPSU party. The correct answer here - they buy (watch)it because they don't have a choice. If tomorrow all studios will decide to shit on actress's face before shooting - some people will also buy it, but not because it's a super hot trend, they will buy it because they don't have any other options.
And in case of crowdfunding - yes, it's a promise, but it's desirable promise, people will buy it because they actually want this content and also they will be able to control the result by choosing the actress, by voting polls, practices etc.
It's like transform soviet grocery store to a modern supermarket.7. That's a potential problems of studios, not mine. The crowdfunding platform is something like a layer between the studio and actresses, who will simply help both. The actress will sign a shooting agreement with the studio. With the crowdfunding platform there will be something like an agreement of the 3rd parties on additional financing subject to conditions. The studio shoots the right content with the actress - the actress gets additional funding from the crowdfunding platform. The difficulty here is (as I see it) - if, for example, an actress agreed to film TAP, but it didn't work out for her, what's a crowdfunding platform to do in that case? Return some of the money to the sponsors (like 20%) and pay the actress less? Cruel, but fair.
8. LOL. Man, you got me wrong, I think I answered already about that. Shooting will be done by professionals, by existing studios.
All existing directors and studios just enjoying the classic process, they are in comfort zone, they don't want to change anything. "King in a castle, king in a castle, I want to piss in every actress mouths and put a hairy guys fucking each others asses on a main page without option to filter it off, king in a castle". They know - whatever they will shoot - people will buy and watch it, because they don't have alternative. Today they are pissing in the mouth of every girl until she vomit? Tomorrow they will shitting there and what will you do? Organize a union of professional porn watchers and go complain to parliament? Will create a topic on the forum "Oh no, porn dies, too many old-fake-tits-mommies-who-are-vomoting-to-each-other-mouths and hairy-asses-of-old-mens-on-a-main-page-I-don't-want-to-see, let's all complain and discuss it"?
You literally have no voting right and no pressure levers, you are eating what they give. Yesterday there was milk with vomit for lunch, today for lunch is bowl of pee, and tomorrow bowl of shit. Bon appetite
If you have any ideas how to change the situation and give people what they actually want, write it, it will be interesting to read.
