I spend $0 on modeling costs. I use a profit share system. 40% to all funds generated from there content. If they don't sell no money lost! if they sell well more money for the girls! -
yeah, more, but we shoot with 2 people. and probably less solo than youComment

I was looking for another post and found yours.
Prices have fallen out here big time, and we are getting better and better quality models.
Through May 1 of this year we have spent over $150,000 on models.Reality TV Star, AVN Hall of Fame, Five-Time XBIZ Winner

I suppose once you have nothing of value to show off with, you start bragging about how much you spent on models

That is some serious money to investComment

It has little to nothing to do with how much you spent on models. It's about what you're left with at the end of the year.
Back in the 80s and 90s I used to spend $20,000 a year ($400 a shot, 50 shoots a year) most of those days were worth $10,000 a day. Shooting for magazines and videos. We still own the content and still sell it, see signature.
And yes it was easier in those days.
How much of the work you shot do you still own?
Thank God we never went that route, this last year would of closed us down.Comment

just did a quicken report and my 2008 figure was about $250k on male and female talent costs - then again, all hardcore stuff and up to 4 scenes a day, so it adds up really fastNew models booked and shot every week... MILFs, pornstars and teens. Girls for every niche and project.

The costs are down but not as much as your are saying. If your models costs are down 50 % then either you were paying way too much before or something is wrong.
Anyone who knows Jim and I will attest the we negiotate as hard, or harder than any prodcuers there are. We make package deals, bundle scenes, and are as cost effective as anyone in this business.
There are tons of models who tell us that their agents won't let them discount their rates. They say they need work and are happy to scenes for less. I know that one of the top agencies bookings are down over 50 % in Los Angeles from two years ago.
A few of the biggger agents have realized that times and have changed and have lowered their rates across the board.
I predict that as we move into the Summer slow down season that you will see a lot of desperate talent shooting scenes on their own for rates lower than we have seen in years, prehaps even to the levels you are talking about.Reality TV Star, AVN Hall of Fame, Five-Time XBIZ Winner

Yeah that is defiantely the way to go...what are your shoot days worth today?It has little to nothing to do with how much you spent on models. It's about what you're left with at the end of the year.

Next time we meet, we should compare notes. Without posting actual rates it?s difficult to have this discussion.
I don?t negotiate and let them know what the job pays. I also tell the agent/agency what they?re getting as a placement fee. I?ve never had a problem with this. If you?re giving an agent a lot of work, you should be paying discounted rates across the board.
Given the current economic climate in the industry, I think it will go beyond slow summers. There are so called agencies that have gone out of business or are planning to close unless they can find other revenue streams.The Only Time When Success Comes Before Work Is In A Dictionary.
