First let me say thank you to all of you who have contributed so much valuable information. I'm an experienced monger having sampled the P4P scene on several continents. With a limited amount of time at the end of the year I called Intratours to find out what airfare I could secure for a reasonable price and CR selected itself. Frankly it looks to be a much easier place to monger than my other choices but I do have a question for the CR vets. I have always wanted to make an amateur porno movie meaning it will not be made for resale. I'm not looking for feedback on the obvious issues of getting releases signed by the ladies, proof of their legal age and so forth. I am interested to know what you think a fair price would be per tica for this type of thing. The going rate in the US for this sort of work would be approx $500-1000 depending on the type of work requested...girl/girl, FMF, anal, CIM etc. Then of course there are the issues of how the local authorities might view this sort of thing, clearing customs on the way out, and if any ladies would even be interested in this sort of work. I should probably just shoot stills and play photographer for fun but the idea of shooting video is appealing to me.

Welcome to the board.

First of all, are we talking about you, a tripod, and a video-camera? Because it kind of sounds like you want to make a big production out of it, talking about releases and local authorities.

I was thinking that you would look for somebody you liked and negotiate a price for sex and also to shoot them on video doing whatever it is that you want to do. Local authorities don't give a shit about what you do in your bedroom as long as it's 2 consenting adults. Also, upon entering the US, I wouldn't declare "amatuer pornographic video" on the customs form.

FYI--IMO, you may have a hard time finding somebody to do this. Most afraid of stills being posted on the internet, so allowing video that may be sold or posted on the net may be even harder.

TIP OF THE DAY: Make sure you have extra lighting when you are shooting the video because it comes out darker on video even if it seems there's ample light in the room. I learned this the hard way this past trip.

Already being done Figures. I've seen many a video with CR in the background. Cheaper to produce out of the US I guess.

I want a copy!

I have always wanted to do this myself. I either got caught up in the moment or was too embarrassed to ask or was told NO. I have gotten very few photos and one good Long BBBJ video but thats all.

I've always been interested in producing videos and thought this might be a good opportunity to see if I really do enjoy it. I'm not thinking of tripods and lighting just the process of shooting a video to see if I like it. I was thinking of a compact video camera that has good low light capabilities. The reason I mentioned a release and proof of age is if I got checked by customs I would not have the und***ge issue or consent issue. The consent would say this was consensual and not for pay as in amateur video for personal use only or words to that effect. Maybe this the wrong forum for this type of question. I thought some of you might have already thought this through and/or been there done that.

There is a guy who posts occasionally that is supposedly in the adult video business.

You might want to shoot him a PM. His screen name is Romulus.

I can pretty much tell you right now that as soon as you pull out any kind of document to sign, they're out the door, it will spook them. They don't trust gringos to begin with, so forget signing anything.

My advice is bring a camera and look for somebody you like who doesn't look like a minor (so you'd have no problems in customs, in the extremely unlikely event that they would check). Then while negotiating price, time, and services, ask about the video part. Offer a nice tip (propina) for it. $20-30 extra might make it happen, maybe more, never paid for it.

Good luck.

My wingman brought a DV camera with him on two trips and made several videos with the chicas. He doesn't speak a lick of english and did not negotiate with any chicas ahead of time.

When he showed me the first video he made I asked him how the chica felt and he said he butsted out the camera and started shooting and she was all for it. He tried shooting video of all the chicas he was with some agreed, some didn't. He paid all the chicas cien. NO extra tip, NO negotiating. But I must add that the chicas all loved my wingman!

If you want to shoot video for personal reasons then you don't need a release form. You would only need one if you wanted to broadcast and/or sell copies to the public.

When you talk to the chicas tell them that you are interested in shooting video and if don't agree to it ask them if they know anyone who would be interested and pay them a finders fee. The chicas all talk and they know who does what and they sure will know if there is a chica looking for her big break.

I'm not sure what a fair price would be but everything is negotiable. I will offer a chica about $200 for a video shoot, just for starters.

Good luck.

I shot the better part of a ZB 3-some back in May with my handheld DV camcorder, and though the lighting is bad and my filming skills leave a lot to be desired (I was a more than a little distracted - I REALLY respect those porn guys now), I wouldn't trade it for the world.

This is something I've dabbled in both "professionally" and on my own.

First of all, TP and the others are absolutely right about the release forms.

If you're not planning to release it to the public you don't need a release. All a release form does is say the subject releases her rights to you so that you can do anything with the video that you want. Since you only want to keep it for personal enjoyment and no one else will ever see it, all that is really necessary is that understanding between you and her.

It is extremely unlikely that customs will even know you have it unless you foolishly declare it, so you don't really need for that protection either. If it still really concerns you a) stay away from the chicas who appear like they might be und***ge b) skip any bondage segments you might have had in mind and c) when you travel be sure to store the cassette/disk/memory card seperate from the camera and/or decharge the camera or remove the batteries (that way even if they find the tape it will probably to much hassle to check it out).

Whipping out some sort of professional release form will absolutely freak the chica out and raise her suspicions about your true intent which will already be high enough as it is. After all why would you need that unless you really did plan to distribute the finished product. At best, if those suspicions don't nix the idea altogether they will probably cause the price the go up substantially.

One area where I disagree with TP is on that rate. A chica will either be amenable to being videoed or she won't. If you HAVE to offer as much as $200 for such a session, she's probably not really into the idea that much to begin with and will probably make a bad subject. Don't get me wrong, there will be some who WILL be into it for that much but I just think if they are and they're really cool with it they'd probably have done it for much less. I think Orange is more on the mark. Ask around in advance rather than assuming and springing it on them back at the room where you're options will be less. Find one who is already pretty okay with it. You very well may be able to get it for nothing extra. If you need to sweeten the pot a little an extra $20-30 propina will probably do it. If not just look around some more and you'll probably find someone who will.

I've done plenty of self made videos with mixed success. Good lighting is one issue but there are bigger ones.

As someone else pointed out it is often hard to hold the camera steady, aim it and keep the proper motions going at the same time. Those same motions can cause the camera to jerk all over the place with very distracting results in the finished product and might even cause you to go completely off target. In fact, unless you're shooting all your shots from the first person perspective, your aim can often be way off (as you hold your arm out and point the camera in what you think is the right direction). You could connect the camera to the TV in the room so you have a better idea of what the camera is seeing but then the two of you will have the unnatural habit of looking at the TV instead of each other.

You could also set up a tripod or even just rest the camera and any other steady object. That will definitely take care of the jitters and, if you pre-aim it well (and wide angle it), your aim. But it doesn't allow for change of shot angle unless you constantly get up and change the tripod setting. And it also leaves you with a choice of setting the focus to take in the entire bed and not missing anything or zooming in for a close-up and greatly increase the chance of misaiming. "Por favor, chuparme AQUI solamente (8 inches above and 2 feet in from the right corner of the bed). Yeah right.

After some practice, I've gotten much better at this. Your first few efforts will probably be very disappointing. At best, it still mostly detracts from the session as you focus on getting the right shot rather than just enjoying yourself as you should.

What I have found the best solution to be is to only attempt my own videos with 2 girls. One to participate and one to shoot. Or ideally they can switch off and you can enjoy a little time with each of them in front of the camera or you can shoot both of them together (saving the tripod shots for all 3 of you together). The problem with this approach, apart from the added cost of a 3rd participant, is that most chicas have probably never used a video camera and their camera skills are probably poor to non-existant even when compared to yours. That will probably still be much better than what you can do while bouncing around on the bed. Besides it frees you up to do what you really want to focus on which is the acting.

The last alternative is closest to what you'd experience in the real world of porno, which is to have another guy do the shooting for you (one who hopefully knows what he is doing). In this case it would probably be a friend who also wants to have a turn in front of the camera while you shoot him. I haven't done this except during my brief "pro" career. Let me tell you, not everyone is capable of performing in front of another guy and/or on camera and that is what you really need to be able to respect those porno guys for. I never had any problem with it myself except one time when the "actress's" husband was also in the room. That was kinda weird.

BTW, one last thing, even if someone else is doing the filming you still need to consider what you're doing as an "actor". For example, you might love the missionary position but most likely that will result in the camera only being able to pick up your fat ass and body covering up most of hers, which is what you really want to see. So you need to be aware of what angle the camera is coming from and try not to block the shot of the real star in the video, which is the chica. Remember, when it comes to porno videos us guys are just one of the "props".

Would be interesting to see some homemade videos in the video gallery
