10 Ways to tell it's an Amateur porn shoot
 

10.) Even with autofocus and steady shot, the images or video will look like Barney Fife was the director.

9.) Unfinished laundry must be seen on the floor or background including the kid's soccer practice clothes, baby clothes and last night's concert chili stained " I'm with stupid " t-shirt.

8.) A dog or cat's food dish with half eaten food and water must somehow be part of the background.

7.) Neighbors and passersby can be seen mowing their lawns or standing aghast.

6.) Somehow, someway, high school pics, family pics, diplomas and shopping lists will inevitably be seen in clear view in the background posted on the bedpost or refrigerator.

5.) Garbage still in the garbage bin needing emptying and without flaw there will be pampers, beer and soda bottles and a crushed pizza box nearby.

4.) Gotta have that license plate or mailbox or better yet that 'Welcome to Such-n-Such Town' in the shoot or it ain't authentic.

3.) What would an amateur shoot be like without some off camera cigarette smoke wafting in front of the lens so that the pics look like those " Ghost Visits Family " pics from the Weekly World News.

2.) Not much of an amateur shoot without the kid's palm prints all over the wall in the background!

1.) The Sun. Gotta take advantage of every way the sun can screw up a shot. Ain't good amateur stuff unless somehow, a violation of the laws of common sense and physics come into play and that old burning ball of giant gas appears behind everything or glaring off of something obscurring vital image targets.

Anything without makeup and lighting.

But in the spirit of the post

"The pussy is red raw"

Going for the reality touch :winkwink:

Me 2

Yeah, you'll never believe how pissed off an ex of mine was when I left a picture of her and her family on the refridgerator during an early shoot! And you could still kinda make it in out in the background, even at 800 x 600.

:thumbsup

Stop casting porosity? hahaha.

Used to drive by that sign on 880 all the time. Is it still there? Always wondered what the fuck it meant.

Dang reply button!!!

Anyhow, I have a large collection of pics where people would carelessly post their personal info! Everything from pics of kids, family, etc.

Even phone bills, cable vision bills magnetted all over the fridge.

License plates etc.

Chicks would post pics about how they were single and free but in the background you could see an army of crumbsnathers with her in the pic and marriage pics etc.

Tooooo funny. :Graucho

dont' forget the ghastly pink and gray afghan hanging over the back of the lime green couch that has some visible cigarette burns on the arms.....

The sign is actually part of the U.S. Pipe company - I didn't get it at first either.

But a friend of mine I used to do music with actually took US Pipe as his rap name, and had a photo of him in front of that sign that I saw for ages...

One day, it hit me: it's actually a sort of tag line for a product to stop the porousness of metals when cast -- i.e. holes and the like in weaker parts of the metal. The company makes some sort of product and process to reduce that.

It sounds much cooler though if you don't get the real meaning. :glugglug

Great points. But amateur is what sells. It has to look real. If that means a box of opened tampons, some toothbrushes, and a bottle of nair in the frame, you have to shoot it.

How could you forget the Motel 6 rooms and decore?
