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.
Well I think you are going a little over the top for solo girl, for boy girl could be more, but you are right what are we asking what the content is?

So let's say it was a guy new to shooting doing solo girl.

He needs to buy Equipment, props, clothing, location, models, etc. Anyone want to chip in with some more things feel free.
