You would call me a liar to my face if I told you what I got the guy to shoot these scenes for. Of course, the quality and production values are very low, and the scenes were shot overseas. This just adds to the realism of the site though...as youre watching these scenes, you could easily believe that they are genuinely real if you are an average surfer with your dick in your hand.
On the other hand, if you want extremely good DVD style quality to your scenes, you are going to have to pay (unless you really know where to look), and you are also going to lose the touch of reality somewhat IMO. This is totally fine if it is what youre going for (see the perfectgonzo sites). It all depends on what youre looking for.

I think both of you have some great points but you both are missing something too.
Content providers have really been shooting themselves in the foot over the last few years. A lot of foreign producers have not helped because they can shoot for less in a lot of cases.....BUT....That's no reason to fuck themselves and others out of money.
Let's use Nike for an example. Let's say that a good pair of Nike's starts at $80. Nike could manufacture those shoes in the US and still sell the same pair of shoes for the same price. Just because they are able to do it cheaper in another country does not mean that they should lower the price.
Now...Moving back to porn....If lower quality and more realistic content converts better...BTW...I've been selling my content on this basis for years now....Then why should I sell it for any less than DVD quality stuff that may not have the same potential for great conversions?
If a reasonable, good quality hardcore scene sells for 2k then so can a lower quality hardcore scene.
Hardcore is hardcore is hardcore. If you can make a better profit by shooting it cheaper and selling it for the same price then you are one dumb mother fucker for not doing so.
