Kelly..

You and I fell out over one particular subject which is now dead I hope... LOL.

To start with.. This country is run by the descendants of those who didn't sail over on the Mayflower, so there is still a lot of the old puritanical idealogy over here.

Last year there was a hope that full on sex could be shown on our encrypted channels but... The Sex shops even complained about this being allowed as it might harm their sales, and when you can pay around ?50k a year for a license to sell R18 which isn't cheap, they tried to protect themselves and won The argument that really won this was, that even though the channels are password protected, kids could still gain access to the password and get to see porn

Next.. I understood that LA Direct had drivers to take girls to shoots, if they were staying at the house. I don't know about other models.

To you and Scorpio

I shoot 99.99% solo/toys as that's my niche, and I do usually get 3-4 sets of stills (from 70-120 pics) and the same amount of vids from a single shoot Some of the girls do moan about being just a little sore after this... LOL. I had one model who only wanted to shoot vids and wouldn't stop till she had at least one real orgasm, and I did some 30 min vids with her using anything and everything that was available to insert in her holes and we would do at least 3 vids at a time... heh heh. I do this on many shoots as like Scorpian, they're for web sites first and foremost, so a library of content is needed for updates. This being different to shooting one scene as part of a full length themed Dvd...

And Kelly.. One very popular UK site is this one: Which is totally soft as the title suggests, so there is a market for everything

Joe, I'm not saying there isn't a softcore market.
What am saying is that....

A) The lack of hardcore talent.
B) Who's bright idea was it to film softcore only?

This is how I get my softcore footage.

1) I book a hardcore boy-girl shoot.

2) I film the hardcore almost until time to drop a load on the girl's face.

3) We spend 10 extra minutes getting our softcore angles and positions, with the bodies in tight to hide the penitration.

4) We do a F.I.P. (Fake internal pop shot)

5) Then we do the real money shot.

6) Grab last stills and go home.

And believe it or not this is how everyone does it. Not just the blokes in L.A. I film in France, Korea, and Moscow. We all pretty much do it the same. But like the driving out here, it appears you guys want to be on the other side of the road.

As for Derek and L.A. Direct Models...
Derick is NOT an agent. He is a manager.
Better results and more involved.
If you book a girl with him, unless there is a natural disaster, the girl will get to set on time and ready to go.

But you will pay for this assurance. Last I heard Derick is charging $200 per girl per day. And he takes 10%-20% from the girl plus a fee for giving them accomodaitions.

By contrast...
An agent is just a catalog of potential girls. There are no guarantees that anything will happen when you book through them.

I never usually post anything but facts on this board as I find it all a bit tedious if truth be known..
But one of our companies performers seems to be getting a little carried away here and involving Anjali and Killergram content, in discussions that we have no interest in...
To put the record straight,
Joe A quotes "
"Scorpian..Your're shooting for an array of sites within the group not just for a single Dvd...."
Could you please tell me what scenes of the 50 or so that I shoot and edit each month, are shot by Scorpion? Unless you know something about my business Joe that I don't.. Don Roobles shoots for two of our sites/DVD's schedules and Scorpion performs and will be fronting one of the up and coming sites.. I edit them all and shoot the at least 40 of the 50 scenes, monthly...
These are the facts.
I don't know Kelly Steele but from what Sahara tells me she is straight, concise and knows what she wants, gets on with the job and shoots from the hip.. Nothing wrong with that in my book.
We work to a similar philosophy.
But having briefly read this thread, Kelly Steele seems to be stating some hard, porn industry truths, about content style..
I assume that she is shooting for a "real commercial purpose" and with that in mind knows that this business requires, fast turnover of fresh, mainly hard content..
If I took a batch of soft solo scenes to Playhouse, they would look at me as if I had lost my mind.. If I took any more than one month to produce a minimum of 3 DVD's for Kilergram, they simply wouldn't support or invest in the brand. So that's why I've upped it to 6 DVD's month..
Ofcourse every content style has a place but the consumer is king and the adult market will simply reflect the desire of the punter/surfer and active producers will supply the goods.
To finish off, our company (that?s Anjali's and my company) have always functioned by keeping ourselves to ourselves and keeping busy.. Mr Scorpion, stick to the facts fella and please don't engage in any unnecessary chit-chat and let's just stick to the task in hand....
Disanto

So you shoot from the hip Kelly, i cant wait to meet you i luv your style!love!

Wil..

The confusion arose due to Scorpian saying:

"A day at one of our shoots paints a totally different picture...We reg shoot 3 -4 different scenes in one day...Time is money so why waste it...short, sharp quailty shooting very much so like over the pond..."

You know, I know it's been you and Don doing the producer/director work. I presumed he was more than a stud and was now involved on the production side by that comment, and other posts he's made here recently.

Honey,

I'm many people in one person. It's very rare that I work in front of the camera these days but when I do it's Kel. I'm bubbly, warm, friendly and playful.

But when I'm doing busines, it's Mrs. Steele. Business is business and money is money. Everything is by the book and by the numbers. And if required, my teeth are very sharp and I'm not afraid to rip a piece off someone. Mrs. Steele never starts fights, just finishes them.

So yes, I shoot straight from the hip. And I'm really flattered you like my style. It takes a very strong and secure man to admit that he can appreciate an independant women.

Thanks, you're aces in my book
Kelly

"Not to slap anyone with the Los Angeles glove... but in the SanFranando valley alone it is estimated that between 50-100 videos are made each day. No one would manufacture that many screw films if there wasn't a demand for the much product."

Usually when some prefaces a statement with the, 'Not to...with..." line, that's exactly what you intend to do, and you're no different. BTW...it's "Fernando."

Porn people are extremely prone to hyperbole when the talk skirts the "facts & figures." Usually it's money, but this one runs out every now and then.

1. 50-100 films made every year in SFV would be 50 * 52 =2600, or 100 * 52 = 5200. That's a big gap so go near the middle and say 3,500. Since the average studio put out an average of 25-30 films a year, you'd need to have upwards of 150 producers working around the clock, year round to make that quota. Example: 2005 Red Light District put out around 25 vids, Elegant Angel did around 30, these being two of the more productive gonzo stables in Porn Valley. Studios with contract whores put out even less (Vivid, Wicked, etc).

2. That would be a tremendous burden on the physical infrastructure of SFV, are there enough rented homes and abandoned warehouses in Northridge to shoot all that smut? 100 vids a day means at least 300 or more whores, some having to do two scenes a day, not to mention at least 200 or so stunt cock, 100 makeup artists...agents running around putting out fires, pesky porn bloggers, the trade rag. I'm just not tasting your Kool-Aid here, babe.

3. Agreed, this doesn't take into account the little "boutique" studios like Astrux or NinnWorx which make only a few high-quality flesh vids, but it also ignores the many studios which have gone broke (JKP, Vertigo/American Hardcore, Extreme 1.0, Rain, Rob Spallone's biz, etc, etc).

Here's an example of the same hyperbole heaped on Jenna Jameson

I seems like you want to refer to your "Los Angeles days" as if you set Porn Valley on fire. Umm...your stint lasted 75 or so films, take out the ≈15 that were non-sex or g/g, see where I'm going?

Just relax...it's only smut.

Ummm...no. Wrong.

World Modeling
Pretty Girl International
L.A. Direct
Redd Rose Productions
Gold Star
AMA Talent
Foxx Modeling
Fresh Talent Management
Spiegler Girls
I'm leaving at least 10 others out...Dick Nasty's agency, Tera Patrick has one...etc, etc.

And yes, most agents are happy to drag you out of bed and get you ready for the set...you just have to pay for it. You ever tried driving north on the 405 the morning after a coke binge at Sardo's? Must be rough !wink!

Well said.........though I think she ment 'scenes' not 'video's'. She has some good points about the UK industry though but I don't agree with everything she's said............
