Considering the number of Porn movies released weekly, you need a very wise business plan before you dig in or spend one dime. The comp is stiff out there for porn dollars. Most porn is in the hands of the Mob, but there is plenty of room for new starts. My advice would be to write loose scripts that make sense, are heavy on the "scenes," and, consider that the days of ugly 'stars' in these things has come and GONE. Only very pretty, very well built men and women make a hit. Finding these people is the real problem. You didn't state what kind of porn you are making. It is no accident that most porn is made in the LA area, for still, kids come here from all over hoping to make their 'break.' It just doesn't happen, they are down and out, turn to prostitution and porn for money. The area is loaded with them. A good place to start for models is prostitutes, male or female. They will charge whatever they can get, but the going rate is about 1500-3000 for first movie. Consider that you will need about 10 models?? for a movie. They are shot with a very good camcorder. Digital cams are rarely used because of the expense. Lighting, 2-3 'stage' hands, settings and props, and you are in business. Now, once you have the editing and master ready, you need equipment to burn the DVD'S. That, you can send out and have done. Las Vegas is full of video houses that do that. Las Vegas is another place to find good 'stars'...people who came there, went broke, and can't find the money to go home. Best of luck.

HAHAHAA thats funny. If you really want to go for it go to a porno website and email their webmaster and try to get some info(although I dont think they would like more competition). Also thats a business venture and it will cost a lot of money Im thinking about 45,000 dollars.
