I spoke with a photographer/videographer a few weeks ago in LA who's been shooting for close to a decade, and we were discussing this...he said "everything costs $1000 these days" -- and he right.

First off, the poll is way too vague...even for ballpark or "fairly basic" discussion. What are you shooting? Solo masturbation of bukakke? And do you want an estimate for equipment, too?

How about what I call the "hidden costs" no one ever seems to really bring up here...set fee, hotel rooms, toys for the girls, condoms, water and/or soda for the models, baby-wipes, DV tapes...

Everything costs $1000 these days...I'm sticking by that...for your "fairly basic" answer. I don't care if you're in LA, Miami, Toronto...or Lincoln, NE. Unless you're bullshitting a girl to work for free, and it's a solo masturbation scene...

Everything costs $1000 these days.
