So back to the thread.
Interviewing experienced people needs to be done a little differently, you're just trying to find out if the models personality is right for what you need from them. It often goes beyond looks.
Are they willing to do the scene as required, put a lot of effort into it, not going to go onto auto pilot the moment someone points the camera, not to blase about the work, etc. Ultimately the success of a porn scene comes down to the shooter and models working as a team with a goal in mind.
It requires both of them to work hard at getting it right. Whether it's what Max shoots today or Ex Gf content an illusion has to be created that separates the scenes done that day to all the other scenes being churned out by "Paint by number" shooters. Because what sells porn is personality and the better the team capture the personality of the scene, the better it sells.
It's not about setting the lights, it's about setting the scene in the viewers mind. All those videos were girls being themselves in a teasing sex mood, some a little fake and some not. but all coming across as I knew they could deliver and knew it would sell. Not just another girl doing another scene, to add to the pile of other girls doing other scenes.

Is what I shot last year. The editor left out the parts that made the scene real, IMO. They were Sandra walking across the park towards me, while in the background she's telling people she's a model who loves her job. Then as she passes me, Sandra looks over the top of her sun glasses and smiles. This was the moment in her intro when she contacts the camera and says "And I get to share it with you."
A solo girl, who can't be conning anyone she's Ex Gf or Amateur, contacting the viewer and telling him he's part of the scene. Add that to the rest and include the close of her sitting on the sofa, perspiring and hardly able to talk, being out of breath from multi orgasms, saying she hoped you enjoyed it as much as she did. And you have a winner.
Shoot it with the wrong model on the wrong day, with the wrong shooter. All trying to get too much work done on a day. and you have a loser that's just filler content.
