However the key point about alternative revenue streams is 100% valid, and the explosion of product placement in tv shows last year is proof of that.
Just because coke and pepsi would not want to advertise in your porn movie does not mean that their are no product placement oppertunities. there are 100, if not 1000s of potential advertisers. A couple of good product placements within a scene could cover the entire production cost.
You of all people should be harolding the change because as a content shooter you can reap the maximum benfit, by discounting the cost of producing the content via product placement.

Eva and I went around the Berlin Venus show and spoke to Lube, Sex Toys and a few others. They would not give us a free sample, which costs a few dollars, in the exchange for us putting it in a movie and giving them the scene.
Product placement works in mainstream Will AFF place their product in our movies and pay for it? I'm thinking along different lines though.
