I am basing these assumptions - always a dangerous game, I realize - on a "typical" B/G hardcore shoot costing anywhere from $800-$3000+ (based on whether it is POV, a whole crew, a small crew, etc).
WHERE a company is filming makes a huge difference, too. If it's in the USA (especially California or Florida) it's going to be way more expensive than in Czech Republic, Hungary or South America (or some parts of Asia).

Just to clarify: CZ is not as cheap as it used to be, but models are cheaper then in the USA four sure. I have NO idea what BG, anal etc...costs since we make strictly lesbian only content and most is simulated (glamour style). A model will cost about USD $ 500/ 12 h day. Our "day" consists of about 6 hours siting about, 4 hours "walking and talking" and maybe only 2h of lesbian content. We run VOD site and make feature films. Our revenue is 100% from folks actually buying a movie stream or renting one. We have NO membership. We do not have any other sources. So if we make a shitty movie they do not come in droves,if we make a nice one, they come and buy. Each movie now has about 5 to 7 shooting days, in our own film studios. In the good old days we had the " luxury" of 12 to 14 days.
