You will always need new faces for porn. Otherwise people would be jerking off to the same stuff from the 1970's.

You also need good locations. You know how many times I see a scene and it's either Ben Iny's house or an 818 location house. People get tried of that stuff.

Then you need to have good equipment and know how to use it. Just b/c you have the best hd camera and every kinoflo they make won't make you a good shooting. I know guys who use decent cameras and natural light and make shit that only blows away most people's work it even wins "awards" (lol)

And like you said, you want there to be a reason to watch it. People do want something that ties it together and makes it magical. The guy knocking on the door with the pizza is a bit played out.

But with out funding it's tough to do all of this. Not many people want to invest in porn and the ones who do are let down when they don't get the ROI they were fooled in thinking they would see in less than 12 months.
