Creative Guidelines and Tips
Lighting:
1. Fill the room with as much light as possible. Open the blinds, Remove lamp shades, etc. If you have a professional lighting kit ($100) that is great but natural light when possible is best.
2. Don't be afraid to film outside. Gives great light for filming.
3. Buy a small light (on board attachment, ring light, pog light) for those hard to reach places. Never use the light on the camcorder. It shows up an ugly shade of blue on video when filming tight shots (IE. Penetration) Remember seeing the penetration adds value and brings fans to your work
4. Try to avoid YELLOW/ CREAM WALLS! These colors are not flattering on camera and most times wash out the models.
Angles:
1.Never do a full video of POV "Point of View" (IE. Only the penetration as you hold the camera.) We don't accept that for our company videos and wouldn't accept that in yours. Instead….
2.Provide at least 2-3 angles per sexual position Tight: Penetration or oral only (POV, Under-shot, Side-shot, etc) Medium: At least one model fills the frame (IE You see the bottom's face enjoying anal while only seeing the tops lower half) Wide: Both models fill the frame (You see both models on screen)
3. Never rush when working with free hand videography (no tripod). Smooth, Slow and Steady wins the prize. Think in terms of long bush strokes. You are making a piece of art to be sold. Not a cheap home sex tape.
Sound:
1. Use an external mic when filming if possible. You get better sound this way and avoid exterior/ off camera noise a lot better. If not available then turn off fans and AC if not overdubbing with music.
2. Be as verbal as possible. Remember this is a form of entertainment. People want to hear the moaning and groaning. Gets them excited which gets you paid!
3. Don't sound like a 70's porn star. Be creative with your sex talk without being cheesy. If something feels good let us know (Fuck that feels good). If you want something done tell your co-star (Go down and suck my balls). This creates sex talk without sounding corny.
Action:
One on One, 3-somes, Groups
1. All non-solo videos must be at least 10 minutes long with a max time of 20 minutes (30 minutes for threesomes/ groups)
2. During penetration mix up the rhythm. We want to see you fuck like a rabbit but we also want to see your cock. Pull out, tease the hole, long stokes, etc all builds up the entertainment portion. Remember this is not a sex tape
2. When rimming don't just dive in. Tease the hole with your tongue, finger, etc. Entertainment!!
3. Try to perform/ film in a clean and neat enviornment. No One ( Well Not many) wants to see your dirty clothes all over your room while fucking. Or leftovers on the table.
Solos
1. All solos must be at least be 5 minutes long. Less than 5 minutes will not be accepted.
2. Everyone is capable of jerking off on camera but not everyone can make it marketable! So think about ways to make your solo marketable. Set up scenarios and situations, use props (Dildos, Nips Claps, Masturbation toys, etc). Stand out!
3. Solos are basically all about you and what makes you feel good so show that to the audience. Don't feel you have to rush. If you are a talker now is the perfect time to do so. Talk about your fantasy or walk us through your scenario. This is where a little bit of acting goes a long way.
4. Avoid if at all possible the one angle jerk-off unless you have a really hot scenario or idea in play. Have a camera man help whenever possible.
5. Remember eye contact. Make the person watching feel like you are talking right to them. Doesn't mean stare into the camera the whole time but you shouldn't stare at your visual aid the whole time either.
PORN IS WORK! Think about the things you want to see on film and try those. Be unique and different in your approach. Remember you aren't doing a sex tape, but a form of entertainment. Have fun and show us what you got!
