There are no new ideas to film porn. There hasn't been for 20 years, so forget about that idea. Because fucking hasn't changed for million of years. All we can do is change the models, style, niche, and location.

The problem is ROI. Brian's idea sounds expensive, how many members does he need to make it break even? This has busted loads of sites who tried to over think the wheel.
What is a quality shooter, somebody who is professionally trained AND can figure out the porn market, clearly those people you worked with, couldn't. I do not think it is hard to find somebody. Producers always like to pump their own tires by mentioning how hard it is to have the eye, they also say shooting is hard, they say alot of stuff is hard because nobody is going to admit what they do isnt hard, it takes away from their skill and pay. Fact is. It's not rocket science. Perhaps you guys have never worked a job outside adult. 90 percent of kids these days on instagram have better eyes for photography than adult shooters. You think it'd be hard, I do not. I picked up a camera and figured out how to shoot better than most shooters within a day. I strongly believe this industry is full of people who have a better eye than non porn industry people but their technical skills and judgement of models lacks so much that it takes away from it completely, which makes their end product very limited. You disagree , that is fine. I dont expect a shooter to ever agree with me. This is the disconnect between shooters and owners

I didn't say new idea. I said do it well. I just mentioned things they arent doing well and could.
