Great question.
I am a one-man operation. Talent likes that, especially the male talent.
I prefer to shoot stills first. I shoot the whole scene up to what I call a "posed" pop. Basically that means the girl(s) is/are on her/their knees, with tounge out, waiting for the pop...IF it's a facial.
If it's a creampie, then the last fuck position.
Then, I put my still camera away and give the talent a 5 minute break. They smoke, pee, and get ready to perform.
Unless it's an anal scene. This is where it can get tricky. Some girls don't mind sticking it in their ass...others, when it's in the ass, it's in the ass...and it's a one-time thing (ie: Spring Thomas). If it's the former, I stick to the plan I just told you about...if it's the latter, I skip the anal pics until we're at that point in the video, and then I snap anal stills.
I used to shoot some stills, then vid, then stills, then vid, then stills...it's really not an efficient way to shoot, for a couple reasons:
1) Stopping and starting doesn't make for good sex
2) More wood problems for the guy
3) Make up. If you want all your stills to have nice make up on the girls, then my way is best.
4) Time. My way is fast and efficient. I can't tell you how many times talent have said they love the way I shoot my stills.
Whew.
That was a long answer.
