1000 for a shooter ? Yeah right, you get-ex proffesional shooters who shot for companies such as Private at 200 bucks daily (and we're talking about people who have decades of experience).
500 for location ? 500 gets you a top Villa-type location in CZ, I dont see a point in hiring a 500 sqm location with a pool for the this type of shoot.

Obviousely you are a bit unfamiliar with prices big CZ producers, who actually STILL SHOOT like Leo TV, pay.

Selling to DVD company, content brokers, stills to magazines, video cable companies ?
Content brokers make very little sales per title. It is actually impossible to recoup the production price if you sell via content brokers today. Impossible in 1,3,5 years, impossible per se. Magazines are virtually dead or they recycle their own shit or stills they get together with licensed DVDs (at 300 usd reprint right per title license). DVD companies dont buy content that was not produced by their own crew and is not in line with their series mostly. Video cable companies work with big production houses like Penthouse, Private, Hustler, they dont need or want to buy 1,2,100 productions from some uknown producer fuck.

Get a reality check Paul. Great theory you posted, however in real life it doesn't hold up.
If I knew who you are I would know if you had a clue what you were talking about. As you hide behind a nick I must assume you don't have a clue and logic is way beyond your grasp.

The OP has come to GFY because the good shooters have already turned him down Stefan isn't the only one. I turned him down as well and I'm not working. So you talk BS.

Yes a crappy scene can be shot. But a crappy scene for 3.5 hours???????????????

You talk utter BS. An unknown is going to shoot a crappy scene and the cable companies know it, so do the DVD companies. A magazine set of this scene is worth more than $2500, even today. Stop showing ignorance. Give us proof you have a clue.

Affiliates and sponsors. When ratios and retention sucks, think about what this guys approach has on them. Crap products sell crap.
