Shooting a set plus a 5 minute video takes another 15-20 minutes. You are doing good to get 2 sets an hour so yea, 6 sets in 4 hours is pretty good.
People shooting for the custom content prices around today have to work that fast. They have to squeeze as much as possible into as little time as possible. The money dictates it.

Does the work suffer? You bet it does. Dead looks, models on auto pilot, faked orgasms, fewer poses, simple lighting and more.

Shooting a good set and video can.

If you HAVE to shoot 6 sets in 4 hours then that's the real problem. I can shoot a set in 15 minutes, thankfully never had to.
