Who would like to read my E Book on how to shoot porn?
 
It's about time I get back to it and now all the negatives are scanned I plan to edit one video a day and write some more and edit what I have.

What I'm going to do with it is try to sell it via some sites online. The publisher I was talking to offered a deal I wasn't happy with. Exclusivity with no promises of revenue.

Only non trolls are invited and those who shoot or wish to.

ICQ 213 327 873 or email me paul_eva at paulmakham dot com

Paul, I'll read it.

kush 07-26-2011 08:56 AM

If it were an e-book on marketing, no (I have you on ignore because your marketing comments muddle up the board IMO), but if I was interested in porn shooting and you took the time to write a genuinely good e-book (not the crap that is often typical in many ebooks) then yes perhaps.

Why not post an extract to wet our appetites?

The chapter on editing for example.

I'm editing at the moment.

Coming along nicely. My only problem is learning the new controls on a computer editing program. Enjoying myself remembering old times. Would anyone like to see where I was 18 years ago in terms of shooting video?

The level I'm aiming at won't need a lot of instruction on editing. If they want to shoot up market, they should know or better still employ a full time editor.

What I'm writing is about the actual shooting. Which some seem to have little clue about. How to deal with models, construct a scene so it's not just another dumb broad on a sofa, how put a shoot together, present yourself as a shooter who has a clue.

I would love to discuss with you the different aspects of shooting porn. You would have to understand it's firstly a business we're in and not a hobby. I have always said people need to pay far more attention to the product, I just feel the avenue you want to pursue is very expensive and probably going to lose money. That's not what any of us are in business to do.

Incidentally the pictures you posted from that shoot, where's the finished product and what was your roll on the shoot?

CurrentlySober is that a real email address? :1orglaugh

Email so we can discuss it.

Better than trolling it on the board.

Emailed you from my Private email, but put GFY name in subject...

Hopefully you will find it to be constructive - You'll clearly see that I have no intention of any 'Trolling' :thumbsup

No trolling at all. It's exactly what it needs. Thank you.

I'm stuck reading it from my POV and that's not good. Need others to do what you did.

Yes you can post the replies here, include mine to you, as well please. I'm' off to do some walking the dog. :thumbsup

OK, well as I just said in the email, this is what I sent to you... But your reply in different colours etc, would be a bit hard to reproduce here, so as its your thread, I'm sure you have the right to reply lol

I sent:

Quote:

OK, well its obviously not finished, because it kinda drifts off into your personal notes at the end, but thats fine. You never said it was the finished article, so fair enough. I am also sure that you are aware that there are a few grammatical errors, but nothing a good proof read wont fix...

I also understand that it is aimed at 1st time shooters (Total Noobs) and as such, I cant really find anything wrong with it.

I'd have to say that a lot of the sections are things that you have posted here on GFY before, such as the 27 poses, and the advice on the girls periods etc, but thats OK cause most of the people who would be reading it, would be unaware of GFY, and therefore its new to them...

In essence, its not GREAT... But its not terrible either. It does however, IMHO, need a lot more 'Meat' in it, before its saleable...

Most of the stuff you discuss I know anyway, but only due to my own 20+ years of shooting experience. However, with that said, its still stuff that I LEARNED OVER TIME... and therefore would have been handy to have all in one place, for a beginner...

Theres a couple of things I DONT agree with, (Regarding the talking to the model section) but thats not down to protocol. Just not the way I would do them - But then I am not you, and what you could say, as a friendly looking older guy with a camera (Uncle Paul?) simply would not work for me...

I also didn't like the sub heading of "Everything is up for grabs at a casting" - To me, that just sounds really pervy...

You include a simple form for the model to fill in - Pre Shoot - But dont include a sample model release and 2257 forms that can be printed off and used by the photographer... Perhaps add them in?

Finally, you list you 'Order' of things on the day of the shoot, which ends up with "paperwork' Then 'Pay the model'... While you are used to doing it this way, I would recommend that the paperwork (IDs Model Releases, HIV Test Scans etc) be done BEFORE you shoot...

I agree to the paying at the end, cause if you give them the money before you shoot, they loose incentive, however, for a new guy, it would make sense to get the paperwork done at the start. Just incase she doesn't have her IDs etc.... Cause if she doesn't, she will still want paying, and you wont wanna pay her, cause you cant guarantee you can sell it legally. But I am not trying to tell you how to suck eggs. I'm sure you know that already. I'm just suggesting that you tell a newbie to do it that way round.

Hope you find the above to be constructive advice and opinions....

Were you not happy because it only existed in your head.

Why not post an email from the publisher with full headers so you can prove me wrong for calling you a liar, it will only take you a hot minute.

Caligari 07-28-2011 06:34 AM

Hey Paul,
i read the ebook as you have it now, and here are a few things.
1)I think newbie shooters will find some very valuable info in there. There are common sense aspects which are overlooked when scheduling and shooting and you've covered alot of those.
2)I'm sure you are aware of some grammatical errors in the book. There aren't many but there are some badly misplaced commas which kind of change the meaning of what you are saying, so i would fix those.
3)Photos and videos. Especially now it is imperative that shooters DO BOTH if they are selling content online or shooting exclusives. There are several BIG link sites who accept galleries/free sites and they will NOT accept vid grabs for stills. They want actual stills if you are submitting an image gallery. And a gazillion other reasons.
To repeat- shooters should take stills and video for all content.
4)Reflectors on hand. Don't know how much you get into reflectors but imo they can literally save you in a bind.
They are also very inexpensive.

That's it for now, I think it's shaping up nicely.

I's very revealing the Damian thinks people only communicate via Email.

Maybe he can't afford a phone or to use it.

The publisher is someone I've known for maybe 15 years. He phoned me after we linked on FB.

Maybe Damian doesn't have friends.

Thanks, need to get in some links to firms like Lastolite. Also tell people to take a few white sheets, spreading those over a wooden floor or highly covered carpet can solve color in balance. Good point and that's what I need others reading it show what I left out.

Actually Paul I think that fake twitter account is technically or legally harassment.
I know its only the product of some worthless troll but you could do some screen grabs and contact twitter to have them remove it.
