    Creating your own content

    I'd like to start shooting some of my own pics and vid's. I'm not thinking about jumping into the content business, just looking to produce some halfway decent clips and stills for use on an amateur site. I'm a complete and total novice in this area. I don't have a lick of experience with models, advertizing for models, or photography. That said, I live close to the SF Bay Area, where I figure there should be a good decent model pool, and I can get hold of a decent digicam/video record easily too. I do know a bit about model releases, and I think I can pick up basic photography and lighting fairly quickly.

    Does anyone have any tips they'd mind sharing on photo equipment, advertizing for models, interviewing techniques, convincing 'em to fuck on camera, and so forth?

    I usually just jump into this sort of shit blind and figure things out for myself, but I figure it'd be wrong to let the decades of cumulative experience on this board go to waste

                          Not worth the hassle.. unless you can come up with new different and incredible stuff and someone who does not even know what is needed or what camera to buy is only asking for trouble.

                              Great article! I'm halfway to page 5 now but I gotta split for a luncheon. I suspected I might be told not to bother with it, and thats fine. I understand its not as easy as it looks, and I'm still in the just thinking about it stage.

                              There are a bunch of alternative publications in SF that offer low cost advertizing and cater to the crowd I'd be targetting, so I may just give that a try and see what turns up. If nothing comes of it, so be it.

                              Anyway, if I do decide to give it a go I'll ICQ you!

                              Thanks.

                                                          The book on recruiting models in particular is one you should consider getting:

                                                          http://www.afterglow-photo.com/allbooks.htm

                                                          Basically, advertising is the only way to go, I have found. Unless you just want to pay pimpish guys to send you girls. Frankly, I think it's more fun to get them on my own, and since I really like total newbies to modeling, I wouldn't be happy with the pimped girls anyway. I'd much rather have a college coed like the new one below than a gal whose looks scream that she's a sex industry pro.

                                                          SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.

                                                              No worries anytime. The only thing to consider is the type of girl you will get from an "Alternative" publications and from SF as well, make sure there are no valuables left laying around!!

                                                              Unseen is right the best way forward is to advertise, but be prepared to see a lot of ugly girls. Unfortunately not too many like this turn up every day.



                                                              But they will if you are patient.

Unless you just want to pay pimpish guys to send you girls. Frankly, I think it's more fun to get them on my own, and since I really like total newbies to modeling, I wouldn't be happy with the pimped girls anyway. I'd much rather have a college coed like the new one below than a gal whose looks scream that she's a sex industry pro.
