I don't know to be honest, i predict some of the things i already mentioned. They get discounted content due to the producers already having it, they have content in the bank, perhaps a combo of that and outright new scenes, i haven't actually analyzed their content in full so i have no idea if its all very recently shot. However if they do, i imagine a pretty small budget, 2500? No idea to be honest. It'd be pointless to guess.
Why do I think you can create content for a better cost.
Like i said, there are people who value security over a higher pay per shoot. So you get them at a lower cost, much lower cost. This leaves room a higher quality scene
You shoot in an area that is cheaper to shoot in, this leaves room for a higher quality scene.
You potentially hire somebody outside of adult due to people outside having more technical knowledge and the fact theyll work for cheap to gain experience in the adult industry. They can be coached by somebody in adult, this is all out of the box thinking that adult companies lack
You don't work far away from models to avoid flights, this allows you more money for clothing, styling, etc
You pay normal hair/makeup rates instead of adult (adult is 500-1000 for a hair makeup girl sometimes), instead, you pay 100 bucks because just about every pretty girl without a degree has attended some beauty school and can achieve the look adult needs. Put her on salary to make it worth their while. 100/day might not seem good but the security of having a full time job and a flexible/enjoyable one, one where they get to work with gorgeous models in order to build their portfolio.
You find assistants who want exposure to the industry, or want to train how to be a producer, you'd be surprised but theres people out there who will do this type of thing for 10 an hour or unpaid internship.
When you have the ability to manage operations properly and budget accordingly, you are able to spend more money where it actually affects the content quality. And if you think you need to pay more for a producer, this is how you do it. All you need to do is stay within a budget, you can hire a better producer while staying within a budget
If you think all production teams in adult leave no room for cost reduction, this is where you are mistaken. You can produce better scenes with a producer at the same rate using cost reducing techniques, nevermind the fact with thorough research, you can find producers for a cheaper rate. Sadly adult companies don't look outside of their circles in order to find employees. They all just hire each others low to mid level employees. People the last company didn't value enough to keep around
