So I got my video camera and I have a small budget to make some movie content.

This is what I've always wanted to do, shooting amateur movies then charging people to see them.

I honestly wish I could sit in on a shoot while it's being done so I can see how a pro does things.

Since this is my very first time I have some questions.

1. Where do I find models? Should I just go to strippers? Are there agencies for this type of modelling? or do you put ads in an adult newspaper?

In Boston we have the Phoenix that has an adult section. It's very expensive to advertise there but I'll do it if that's how you all find models through ads in the paper.

2. I don't have a studio to shoot content, should I just get a hotel room for a night to start out, or does that look bad in camera and will the models be like "fuck off" if I suggest meeting them in a hotel room? You can always tell when something has been shot in a hotel room.

Are there studios I can rent out for this specific purpose?

3. How much do you pay models?
Whats standard for a girl solo, and whats standard for the girl and the guy in a hardcore shoot?

4. Should I just hire solo girls to do stuff on camera or is solo girl movie content boring and unwanted?

With 1 girl I could make lots of content, of her smoking, panties, with a dildo, foot fetish, food fetish.

5. This is probably a dumb question but if I'm shooting hardcore content do I just let them worry about safe sex? It's only my job to capture what they do on camera right?

Have any of you had a model come back to you and say that she caught an std from doing a hardcore shoot?

6. Do you have others with you when you shoot, or do you handle the whole shoot yourself there without assistants with you? Unfortunately I don't have any friends who are interested in doing this with me so I dont know what I'll need that I'm not thinking about.

Anything I forgot about? I know I have to talk to a lawyer to write up a standard model release.

If you had a problem with your first shoot I'd appreciate it if you'd talk about it so I can learn from any mistakes.

Once I can get the first 1 or 2 shoots done and content sold hopefully I'll have some more money not to have to worry about most of these things.

Thanks
