As you have no idea of how much it costs to make films why do you post ?
Say we want to make a documentary on Russia 20 years after the fall of Communism, a serous subject, you would need researchers, camera people, sound, director, money for airfares, hotels, meals , editing... for one hour you would need anything from about $300,000. IF YOU BELIEVE IN PAYING PEOPLE AND PEOPLE HAVING A CARE

Interesting analogy there, my fictional friend of ambiguous sexuality, but therein lie a few more questions.
How much money should those associated with such a project expect to make from their role in making the documentary? Probably not much, but it wouldn't be all about the money for them b/c they'd be working on a project that they felt was important.
How much money will said people actually make? Probably a little less than they expected to make.
The majority of people who would be involved in such a project would also likely be bring a certain level of expertise to the table and most would either have advanced degrees in film or have at least some type of formal education to qualify them for the project.
The majority of content producers in adult are doing it strictly for the money and their financial expectation are much higher than what an NYU film grad would expect to make on such a documentary. Additionally, their expectations are largely based on what others were making during a closed market and not on what will be the perceived social value of the end product.
