Partly. Welcome to the world of business.

I think I am right in thinking he is now saying this is just a totally average porn scene that he managed to get 3k from hahahah isn't he clever.
For me it was a totally average scene. It was what I shot that earned us $3,000. Am I clever? Thank you.

Well the video was more involved.

As opposed to what everyone thought, which would be a masterclass in how to spend 3k making the best fucking solo girl scene ever scene. All his 34 years of experience, all his charm, all rolled into one "There I Told You So" package so he could rub it in the faces of people that say he doesn't know what he is talking about.
Besides you who thought I would do anything I have not done for years? In fact who thought a guy who had been out of the business for 3 years, got over a major illness was going to bounce back to his old standards? Only stupid people would think that. You don't really think that do you?

It's not about "I told you so." If people in the online porn business didn't know what offline could pay for content they're missing out. Selling to editors was the easiest thing ever.

Still, he got 3k for shooting a scene. And if that was all this was about, then hey, credit where it is due. I just think everyone thought we'd be getting what Paul perceived was the high standard he claims is missing today.
Well getting $3k was nice, bought Rajah and will pay for a lot of his food in months or years to come. Reggie was joking I should of called Rajah, Fabian. But chose Rajah, after my dog I had in the 50s-60s.

If anyone thought I was going to bounce back and create something like I used to, they were sadly mistaken. I think it was only the trolls.

Physically I discovered I'm nowhere near capable of coming back to shooting. Just can't keep going long enough. Ask Madalton how often I need to drink water and the effects. Running to the loo in the middle of a shoot isn't fun. My saliva glands are gone. That means a dry mouth all the time.

It took me many hours to shoot the scene. It would of taken 2 max before my lay off. A couple of days afterwards I was still exhausted.

It makes no difference, the knowledge and experience I built up over the years is still as good as it was. I constructed a scene that's far better than what's on Mofos. I know how to improve Mofos. Not an idle boast or a hard task either. The scene might give people a clue.

Can I go out and shoot the content? No way.

Can I direct from my office, teach shooters, build scenes and create a site with identity? Yes, in an instant.

Will it improve retention? Yes.

I now know even with the best equipment, I'm not physically capable of shooting. That was what the shoot was partly about for me.
