Investment opportunity for the right person
 

The affiliate thing is great and all but I want to work on shooting content not only for adult but for some mainstream projects as well. In talking with a couple people on the board they suggested I post a thread and see if there are any takers.

Option A) I am looking for someone who would be interested in investing in an equipment purchase in exchange for a specific number of scenes including stills and editing complete with 2257 docs and exclusive ownership of the product. No catch involved. Provide an HMC150, Ill shoot the number of required scenes and everyone goes off happy.

Option B) I have a mainstream full feature script I have written who's stories centers around a girl who leaves for Hollywood to be a movie star and returns home a few years later after a life in porn to reclaim a lost relationship. Product and company placement will be throughout the film and will be shown at various film festivals in addition to internet marketing, etc... It worked well for Mr. Skin's business and if I can get half the number that saw Knocked Up exposed to this film, it could be a great win-win situation.

It seems like a decent opportunity instead of paying $3k for shit traffic that may or not sell. At least this way you get something back for your investment (either content or product placement/advertising outside the box).

If interested drop me an email.

let's see your tits first

Some interesting concept ideas you have, i wish you the best of luck in your ventures.

One small question though if i may,
If you cant afford the equipment how are you going to afford to shoot the content?

I can afford the talent. HMC150 is like $3500. My mainstream projects will fund my future content shoots. Plus I have a whole sorority full of sisters at UF that I can always turn to for talent. :pimp

How far along are you in setting this up? How will you find talent? Are you industry? What's you previous experience in this type of venture/production. What other projects have you completed?

Email me your "resume", experience and business plan. I'll take a look.

As far as the adult industry, no experience really. I am making the transition from being a teacher of film and TV. I have worked a lot of non-adult projects but nothing I can post without naming directors or clients and I want to be respectful to them as they might not be as accepting of my potential new career.

I am more of a mainstream writer/editor/videographer/filmmaker. My current mainstream script is already written but could be revised quickly for inclusion of a company who takes the offer for product/company placement.

Budget cuts just came at a bad time and unexpected otherwise I would have planned my transition more smoothly.

Let me be the first to say... LOLOLOLOL.

Thanks.

Interesting options...

That's cool, this offer is only for those with vision. :1orglaugh

Oh, you mean the vision to float you some startup capital to fund your dream of being a porn shooter? LOLOLOL

Carry on.

First off sparky, it is not my dream to be a porn shooter. Unlike many in adult, I am not stuck shooting skin for a living. I actually have earned a Bachelors and a Masters in Film. Second, mainstream is my forte and will always be my forte. Having said that, even as a mainstream film/editor, I have the basic skills of composition, lighting, and vision to bring any scene to life, which is more than I can say for the majority of "porn shooters".

It is a mean to an end. If I have to shoot adult content to do the real passion and work that I have, then so be it. If the offer doesn't interest you, great. But someone who actually understands mainstream and the actual film business will see the opportunity as a smart investment considering mainstream anything reaches more viewers on average than even the best marketed porn. Look at YouTube and some of the shittiest videos produced that have 400k-500k hits. And these are by people without much experience or knowledge on how to write a competent script much less follow the rules in the film making process.

You fail at mainstream obviously, else you would be doing your 'forte'. McDonalds is mainstream, can you even do that?

Are you mental? Do you even know how to read? I was teaching and just now started to make the transition due to budget cuts. Rather than go work for someone else making less and not having any control over the projects I work on, I chose this route. Only a moron would associate "mainstream" entertainment with McDonalds. Congrats.

If you're not stuck shooting "skin" for a living... why are you here again? Isn't that exactly what you are trying to do here? It doesn't sound like your Bachelors & Masters in Film are really paying off for you in your "forte" mainstream, sparky.

What's that old saying? "Those who can... Do... Those who can't... Teach." or something like that, I'm sure you get my point.

I'm mental? Aren't you that girl who got a bachelors and masters degree in "film" but can't even get a real job in that field? I do think you should take up working at McDonalds for a while, it would do you a lot of good. SPARKY

Well, honestly I doubt the sorority thing will garner much talent. They may be be sluts in the bedroom(some of them) but as far as going public on film en mass, I doubt it. In fact we had a girl over last night, a friend of my wife, who is in a sorority at NC State and even how they behave in public while drinking is judged.

The reason I posted above is my sister has just started a production company in NYC and I wanted to see where you are in mainstream.

You will get no bites with the info you are providing. Just a bunch of cynical webmasters who want to see your tits. Good luck.

Again fucktard, its a mean to an end. But hey, you act as if I am begging for a handout. Its a simple offer. Either take or don't take it, but STFU in the process. I understand the minimal investment is more than you can afford, it's ok, really. You'll be fine. But someone else will see the value and take the shot and do well for it.

Well, something tells me she probably looks like CyberClaire so I for one don't care to see her tits any more anyway. :winkwink:

Apparently, it's more than you can afford. You have no clue what I can or cannot afford. LOL, but I know exactly what you CAN'T afford. :)

LOL.

Yes, a company needs some dumb ass with no experience to pull them out of the trenches.

Wow, you are clueless. Many talented people go into teaching because they actually care about their profession and helping students succeed so they do not turn out with shitty attitudes like yourself. I have no complaints or regrets about my previous career. It's just time for me to my own thing.

We have an opening for previous teachers who will do a bukkake scene. Please let me know if you're interested.

Appreciate the advice and the civility. Most sororities are like that, "image is everything." But thankfully I have some sisters that are much more open minded that have actually said they wanted to be adult films and it never really clicked before. So that's easily an option.

The info needed for the serious person will be provided to them. That's why I said for them to shoot me an email.

LOL, not likely. I will never take directions from anyone. :321GFY

So, you went into teaching because you cared about the profession and wanted to help others succeed?

How did that pan out for you? Did you accomplish your goal?

Is that why you are on an adult webmaster board (note the WEBmaster) board, trying to find a content shooting gig (non WEB related)?

Are you not a team player? Ahh, that's why you were fired from teaching. It's all starting to make sense now. You should be a little more professional and not give your possible future employers the finger. :2 cents:

I can offer $40 per scene for analsmoothie.com like content

This is probably why you failed. You definitely need some direction. I can tell, just by your thread, typing and focus.

Maybe you should take him up on his offer. You could probably raise the money yourself. I mean, you're willing to step outside of your own forte to "shoot" it, might as well be in it, no?

I accomplished it just fine. Again for you and the other moron, do you not understand what a budget cut actually is? Do you need a definition to wrap your head around it? I'm done responding to you sunshine.

I hope someone take you up on the offer and get scammed. The more people who get scammed, the better it is for the rest of us

A team player is required when someone else is paying the bill. I was never fired. As far as a my professionalism, you couldn't be more off base. But at least your consistent. Good job. :thumbsup

Scammed? Scammed only happens to those that work without contracts that are enforceable in a court of law. Have you ever worked on a mainstream project ever with a bond?

You turned that frown upside down, maybe things will start looking up for you one day and you can move out of the ghetto. My offer is still on the table if you find yourself anymore shit out of luck than you already are. We have 10 guys waiting to blow a big load all over your glasses.

Good luck

Wow, thanks for the offer. Any chance your mom can fill in for me? Thanks doll, you're a peach.

appreciate it :winkwink:

There you go acting all unprofessional again, you need to get your ducks in a row darling.

I know nothing - I'm European

Awe! But it's just starting to get somewhat amusing.

:(

Ok, no need to respond. I just wanted to say, I don't think you are going to find what you need in this thread (unless someone posts a link to Midol). Mostly because you don't know what you are doing, but also because you just aren't very interesting.

I didn't like your story concept, I thought it was too "female" focused. Some slut, gets into porn, then goes home to rekindle her fucked up relationship after whoring around, probably getting AIDs etc.. blah blah... No guy wants to see that shit.

And let's face it... This market is DRIVEN by Men spending money. So, right off the bat, you dun fucked up with a female focused "relationship" story. Knocked Up, was written & directed by Judd Apatow, a very famous director, writer and producer. You, are nobody. To even classify yourself in the same sentence with Judd is absolutely rediculous.

Anyhow, like you said you're not going to respond, so I'm going to finish up by owning you just a little more in the hopes that you run back to mainstream with your tail between your hairy legs...

You came here looking for investors. You are reaching out for OUR help. Then you insult some of us by stating "I have the basic skills of composition, lighting, and vision to bring any scene to life, which is more than I can say for the majority of "porn shooters". "

Literally... Go fuck yourself... with a loaded shotgun... safety off.

what sorority at UF?

Respectfully I will not say because I wouldn't put it past the two morons to go to our national chapter and tell of my "plan" to "exploit" our members for financial gain.

If your sorority sisters are anything like any of them I knew when I lived in Gainesville... they exploit themselves just fine without any outside influence. :)

Photos of sorority sisters or this thread is bullshit.

Pls tell me this is a fake nick and this thread is a joke:helpme

1st, your attempt at marketing yourself to the adult industry sucks and you show no understanding of the market you are trying to reach. Go back and research some of the people on this board as they are better educated than you and have been or are just as successful in mainstream as they are in adult!!!

2nd, you don't want to be in this business, you just want financing from this industry, so you will never do anything in adult that will be any good or be a success because you are here for the wrong reasons...Go to mainstream and beg for financing where you want to be:thumbsup

3rd, in your proposals A & B you don't know what you are talking about as shooting good adult scenes is more than just shooting a few sorority sisters who think they want to get into adult for kicks. And fyi, Mr. Skin was a very very successful company long before Knock Up came into being, not the other way around...That's why the Knocked Up folks came to them in the 1st place!!! You are talking about doing it the other way around, ass backwards...BTW, I know this from experience:winkwink:

Finally, I suggest you retract the statements you've made in this thread, do some research, get with someone from the industry who can help you draft reasonable offers, get an attitude check and try again in 15 to 20 years after you have learned something:thumbsup

No joke at all.

First, I have no desire to market myself to the adult industry. It's not entirely impossible to be as successful in both markets but from the looks of much of the content shot today, many porn shooters could not successfully transition to mainstream but many mainstream could just transition to porn. It's like shooting porn is complicated or that there is a ton of undiscovered ways to shoot new and innovative content, hence much of the content looking the same across the board (save for a few talented and creative directors).

Second, while I am a mainstream artist, I have not entirely ruled out a career in adult. If it proves to be more lucrative, who knows. I do not want financing from the "industry", I am looking for a partner that sees the bigger picture. Furthermore, there are NO right reasons to be in adult. Everyone gets in it for whatever reasons. If there was NO money in it I doubt many of you would be in the "industry" today, hence why many have entered and left the "industry" since its inception.

Third, again, shooting people with or without clothes is a simple concept that applies to both. The talent is being able to find a compelling shot to satisfy the viewer, with or without clothes on. While Mr. Skin may have been successful prior to Knocked Up, they enjoyed far greater success because it was included in the movie. That is advertising that you cannot get just anywhere.

There's no need to retract any statements I made. I don't tell designers how to design just like I would not take criticism from those that do not have the same experience in my skill area. It would be the same as a plumber telling an architect to design a house. With the ridiculous amount of money being spent on dead traffic, this deal is no more risky than buying potential buyers/traffic.

Now I realize you are trying to be informative and helpful, albeit sarcastically at points, one has to wonder why the industry is hurting if creating such great porn is such an art form that has seen the amateur/girlfriend/etc... niche putting much of the professionally produced content to shame in terms of excitement and sales. This is not meant as any sort of disrespect to professional content producers but it doesn't support your position well when any Joe can pick up a camera and shoot a video that people love to watch. At the rate adult is going, I would not be so sure that it will be around the way it is now and has been in the past in 15-20 years.

She's failed at mainstream and is about to fail at adult too. I love backfire threads.

awesome idea bro.

It's a duuuuuuude!
