Fabian comes up with statements that are based on nothing solid. Those who have been around for a while will know I ridiculed porn video producers who were shooting BG scenes outright for $2,000 a scene.
Saying offline was paying or spending far more.
So $10,000 for 5 scenes for a video. That on a production run of 10,000 videos is $1 per tape. Add all the other costs and it's obvious that on a average scene 10,000 is an average number for duplicating each title. To do a run of 1,000 clearly shows a lack of knowledge for those times. Unless he knows more.
Move up into the better end of production and each scene would cost $10,000. Shooting 3 versions, in a good location with a camera crew of 2, sound guy, lighting guy, make up, clothing, location and actors it wasn't hard to spend money. Add profit for the shooter and $10,000 becomes viable figure. For a better end scene.
Remember shooters in those days didn't consider $500 for a days work as well paid.
