Big Budget Porn Tactics for Clips

Big Budget Porn Tactics for Clips

First of all, I'd like to say there are a lot of good producers out there working on movies and clips that can all share great advice. It makes me all the more proud that my team and I can introduce our strategies to you today, in this article.

To be honest, I have never considered breaking down the process of making a movie until I was asked to write this article, but my team and I have been producing videos for more than six years. We produced more than 200 scenes for a German TV station, 120 for various labels in Europe, more than 300 scenes for our own homepage at Texas-Patti.com — and we've been producing in the U.S. this past year, now that I’ve moved. Of course, we have also responded to market changes and started to produce clips in addition to the more elaborate films.

We are trying to push the entire industry forward, encouraging customers to pay for products again in an age of freely available content.

The way we produce clips does not differ from our techniques for traditional big movies. When we informed our production team that we were going to start creating clips, it was very important for us not to lose the quality of bigger-budget productions. I think what was most important was continuing to have lots of preparation ahead of time, smooth execution and stellar post-processing, exactly the way we do for a major movie. The same applies to having excellent equipment.

When we produce a clip, my casting co-worker is given the order to find a suitable cast and a good location that suits the script, which is written by my husband or myself, and sometimes a guest writer.

When we have finalized a location and the cast, everyone involved in the project is provided with a production folder that contains all the relevant information for their roles. This is very important for setting up the shoot properly before everyone arrives on set, saving time (and thus money) when the big day arrives. That’s why I believe the most critical part of a production is perfect preparation.

What is equally important, in my opinion, is conducting a proper follow-up review of the shoot afterwards, because you can list all the mistakes and ensure you do not make them again next time. This will help you evolve from set to set, and your team will be better and better.

There is another key ingredient, which I learned from my husband, who was in the Army for 12 years. You see, the Army had a very simple principle: No food, no fight! Basically, if you don’t feed people, they won’t truly fight on your behalf. So, at our sets, there is always plenty of food and drink, because we care about the well-being of the people showing their most intimate sides. Everyone should feel wonderful!

Feeling good also translates into even better sex, and I genuinely love sex, whenever and wherever. That brings me to my next point, which is the most important thing for a good production. It doesn't matter if it’s a clip or a bigger-budget XXX movie, you have to absolutely love what you are doing — which is sex, in our case!

Many people think, “Oh, I can just take a camera or a cell phone out and make a good sex movie.” And yes, those kinds of products sell too. Lots of people have found much success this way, but that is not our style.

We are trying to push the entire industry forward, encouraging customers to pay for products again in an age of freely available content. To achieve that, we have to offer quality to them, in clips and big-budget porn — quality that justifies consumer demand and fetches a good price. However, this only works if we improve, go beyond our old-fashioned approach, and create what should be a sexy work of art.
