Shooting porn in LA vs other Cities - GoFuckYourself.com

mkx · 05-12-2007, 08:11 PM

I was cruising through craigslist today and noticed an extremely high volume of adult gig ads compared to other US cities. I was curious as to what were some of the advantages and disadvantages of shooting models in LA as opposed to other cities? From the idea I am getting, LA seems pretty cutthroat competitive

umm how about different girls

I don't need to know dick about the porn industry. Fuck money. In fact, I could care less how things are done. I am going to do my thing with as little knowledge as possible and hopefully my shit will look a lot different than yours.

I asked this question for a reason.

BTW, I am not saying this in disrespect to you. I respect your work and your comment was correct, I just don't take it as offense.

Laxed laws

Romeo GaySearch4Sex · 05-12-2007, 11:15 PM

its explicitly legal to shoot porn in LA County, where it pretty much exists in a legal grey area most everywhere else.

Also, Ive heard it estimated that 75%-90% of US porn production is done in Southern California

dumb dumb question

Cherry7 · 05-13-2007, 01:03 PM

It is never dumb to ask a question, but some people reveal their lack of culture in their reply...being based in the UK I was quite interested in the thread and what answers. As for girls I think europe has it...

I don't agree with cheaper or orginal girls... I think the girls here demand more money then if I were to find a girl from the midwest and they are not that orginal since most the girls shot here are in a 1000 things compared to finding someone new.

More is shot here due to the laws on shooting itself compared to being considered prostituation like in many other areas and the fact that it is easier to find "industry" girls to shoot.

I think you may be right... as long as you exclude the UK. You have some of the ugliest women I have ever seen there... and they are considered your pin ups.

LOL. I wasn't talking about LA girls being cheaper and more original. I was talking about non LA girls.

Sebastian Sands · 05-13-2007, 06:45 PM

Most porn is shot in LA mainly because of the laws, a lot of girls go to LA simply because that is where the majority of the companies are and a girl from some little town somewhere can go to LA and pick up some serious cash in a short amount of time. I shot a lot of "first timers" when I lived in AZ. A lot of these girls are now working constantly in LA.

Finding new girls is a bitch, and working with newbies isn't always as fun as you would think.

But the advantage is the fresh faces I think. You can find "gems" sometimes. If you find one in LA she will be overshot within a month.

not in every niche.
and when I mean niche I don't mean anal

Azlord · 05-14-2007, 11:20 AM

LA is the only place in the country where a case involving act of shooting of porn has been taken to court and has been deemed legal. Hence it's the safest place in the US to shoot, legally speaking.

sugarlips · 05-14-2007, 11:40 AM

The girls in LA show up and even better than that, they show up on time. The convenience of calling up LA Direct or any number of the other agencies makes it worthwhile for us to call up, tell them who and what I am shooting, then fly down to LA and begin production. In Seattle, Portland, and other places I have shot in my neck of the woods, you have to double or triple book to make sure we have enough models for the scenes we need to shoot. I FUCKING HATE BEING A PUSSY WRANGLER. I gladly pay the LA agencies to do that for me. Kevin at LA Direct is THE MAN. A public thank you to him.

There are plenty of newbie talent coming through LA and if you catch them early enough you can get scenes where the talent hasn't been saturated by the other producers.

Just my

Craigslist is a cool place to find models, if you keep posting there you are sure to get the newest and hottest models in LA.

I will second that!

Jimmy Rock · 05-14-2007, 12:52 PM

Competitive yes, but so much easier shooting here than anywhere else

mkx · 05-15-2007, 01:30 AM

Great replies. Didn't know about the Law differences. I guess that could be a main concern. I have had pretty good luck finding new girls outside of LA at great prices and think that is a very good advantage but there is def a lot of hot and professional talent in LA from my understanding. The law is probably the most important point brought up but I doubt it will become an issue unless your doing something way out of the abnormal or starting a huge operation.
