Just Dave, I shoot for a small company called Brazzers.com, heard of it? AMA

Question

Why dont you guys release BEST OF PORN STAR dvds??? Figured it would be a good idea.

Plus You should make xxx parodies like others....with your production values and talent would make money I would think?
 

Killer B

I Like Big Tits! (song by Joe Walsh)

I think what he means by :

Why dont you guys release BEST OF PORN STAR dvds??? Figured it would be a good idea.

... is DVDs of just one pornstar's scenes. Like the "A/K/A Filthy Whore" series used to be. I'd love to be able to buy DVDs with 4-6 scenes of just my favourite girls on, or even just have a discussion thread about the ones that are out there, like Immoral's "Party With Rikki Six" but I doubt there would be much interest.

But yeah, Brazzers could have more of my money if they made these DVDs. :wallet:

How Insane is Phoenix Marie really?! LOL

You are one of the very best female performers in this business. You make all of the performers around you step up their game. Everyone who works with you always brings in their "A" game. This is a known fact with all of the directors. You have proved this to me and others every time you come to work.


And I like you. We always seem to have a blast on set.

Since Manwin has pretty much taken over and now controls the entire porn world :D

will the pornstars be moving around? ... for example will Stormy Daniels (who pretty much works for Wicked) be doing directing and staring at Brazzers and vice versa. I see that Kirsten Price has made the move to Brazzers.... will Jesse Jane who is a contract star at Digital Playground now be featured at Brazzers? Will Kieran Lee, Johnny Sins, etc become free agents by going to the other websites as guests?



Dont know whats up with all of the above. Im more concerned with what is in front of my camera.

But I do know Johnny Sins is a free agent, but he is very popular at Brazzers and all of the directors love working with him. I know Shelby from Naughty America Hires him. Johnny a very solid performer, he is good people an a class act.


welcome to the forum dave :hi::wave:

Than you my friend.




How has the whole condom law fiasco affected how you shoot in LA? Do you go out of the county for shoots now? Or have you always shot elsewhere?

I cant comment on that in detail, but lets just say my scenes are still super solid, dirty, are what the fans want to see and the same as before all of the political Drama. How does it get done??? It still gets done "right", my friend.


Welcome to the board Dave - love your work.

I think you should post that male talent audition show you did for the Brits ;) There are a few trolls here that really should see it. LOL



If you ever get to Colorado Springs, let me know. I'd love to buy you a beer and pick your brain. :)



HAHAHAHAHA!! You remember that shit? Here you go-Hope the link still works http://www.sexspanker.com/sincit.wmv


Colorado Springs? Awesome! My Black Belt buddy Bill Hoskins Brazilian Jui-Jitsu to Special Forces out there. He's pretty good! Shit! I helped teach him. lol




:hi: Welcome to the freeones forum dave :wave:

Congrats for the awesome work :hatsoff:

In how many countries is that you've already been made shot of a scene ?

Just LA. and Florida. I have been pretty busy here in southern Ca.


Love the pics.Welcome aboard.Hope you have a great time here.

Will do,

Thank you!



Welcome to Freeones Forum, Dave! I have 2 questions. 1) How does someone get hired to work on a porn set when they're not the performers? 2) How much do they get pay?

Very hard. I worked for free for a little while. I used to hold C-Light for my buddy Craven Moorehead, then I got into shooting stills for Chico Wang/Diabolic, Way back when.

But I owned another mainstream Laser Lighting company and had the income to donate the time to learn what I needed to learn.

Was tough, but I started out on the internet side 1st, so when DVD shifted towards the internet, I was in a definite advantages position compared to my DVD counterparts, because I understood, Traffic, Conversions, Conversion rates, click throughs, etc.

If you are in LA, Message me, I will see what I can do for you. But keep in mind, you can "You Can Never Be The Hammer, Before You Are The Nail". In short, you wont come in as a director, nobody does.

What's up, Dave? I would love to see that video that papagmp is referring to. :troll2: I'm an aspiring porn star/producer/director. Performer first then producer/director. First I'm gonna try and get in with a hot babe who says she'll only work with me. If that works out, I'm gonna save up the money I earn to buy the equipment I need and start my own studio. If that doesn't work out, I'm just gonna start my own studio. I'm also gonna swing to train myself.

I wanna explain my mindset about the porn business and then I wanna know if you think it's wrong, and if so, why is it wrong and what's a better mindset to have? Okay, here it is: Sex sells. I see lots of women in my area that I would like to see having sex. The way I see it, Amateur porn is the heart of Gonzo Porn. John "Buttman" Stagliano and Seymore Butts were just filming their friends and people they met on the street. You could still do this now. You would just have to do it online. Jules Jordan started out making films as a hobby, which is the way I'm looking at it. Same with Johnny Toxxxic. Someone said to him, "You should be making money off this." Max Hardcore would just go and pick up a chick and ask her if she wanted to see his films.

You show me a guy who has lots of wild and nasty sex with hot babes in front of people as a part of his everyday life and I'll show you someone who is halfway to being a pornstar. I know about maneuvering around the camera, opening up, stopping, changing positions, cumming on cue and all that. You show me a guy fullin' around with a camera and his wild and sexy friends and I'll show you a porn producer. If you have a video camera, you can have a company and if you have a company, you can have a business.

It annoys me the way people in the business seem to roll their eyes and snub their noses at people like me. I guess that's because they run into it so often. I have a d.i.y. attitude. It's like music. The heart of it is the underground. It's like George Carlin said "We're all amateurs. Some of us are just doing it more professionally." Am I wrong? If so, how so and how can I do it right? Thanks. I love your work and I appreciate you takin' the time to read this long post and think of a good answer.


Dont let anyone tell you, you cant do something!! Fuck em! Fuck Em all!!

But keep in mind, if you are willing to put in the time, you will get rewarded. But this business isn't all about banging hot girls day in day out. It serious work, research and more work.

Everyone told me I was crazy, I couldn't do it. Shit! Everything I accomplished in life people told me I could not do.

If you live in LA, I might be able to get you PA work.


If you are smart enough to find me and get a hold of me, and you don't creep me out with messages, lol, I will give you my number and answer all of your questions. Nobody ever wanted to help me, but I'm not that type of guy. I help anyone who asks.

Dave, since Brazzers seems to be sticklers for quality and offering HQ 1080P downloads, I'm curious to know if Brazzers has any plans for the transition to 4K and whether or not they will offer 4K downloads in the near future. Also, do you know anything about the older Brazzers stuff that was released in lower resolution but shot in HD being released in HQ 1080P/720P downloads? 4K monitors for PCs are going to hit next year along with many 4K TVs and I'd like to know what's cooking since even the most basic GPUs now support 4K video playback.

Great question!!

Yes, 4k is coming sooner that you think. 2 crews have 4K capable cameras right now and Im looking into one within the next 6 month. The one I'm looking at right now is the Sony F5 With what I need with it to shoot my style it will cost about 32K.

Test drove it a few times already. The Sony reps were like WTF when they saw me strip it down to box, handle, lens and Monitor only. Then I went "hand held" and throw it around in the style I shoot. They told me: "You know you hand holding a Cinema camera right? How do you hold it so still?" 11 years of shooting adult makes an arm real strong and real steady. lol

Its coming, I just think that editing needs to catch up with the processing of 4K footage. As an editor, I can tell you that 4K files are super massive.

Why would they allow random people at porn shoots???

I do.


Hardcore Brazzers Fans, That i know are fans of what I and I always talk to on that board all have open invites to my porn shoots. I have had a few on set and so has Brando. There are a few Hardcore Brazzers fans here that know that I'm speaking the truth.



Oh Dave - I'm so glad you get to deal with Mason Popoff.... LOL

So, tell me, in your professional opinion, is he the type that writes poetry about his flaccid cock or the one that cums before he ever gets hard?

Have him do the CD case test - oh wait, he needs friends to help on that one..... ROTFLMAO

Shit!! You know me! Too funny!!!


Everyone says they can do it!! lol


To save Dave some time, here's his 2012 Brazzers forum post setting up the attached video link. It's must viewing for any dude dreaming of porn glory.

To all of you people who bash male talent or think that being a male porn star is easy you need to watch this. This was shot about 7 years ago. Yes that's me in the video before i had my knee surgery and yes those are 18 inch arms. lol

As i have stated before, i have tried out about 80 or so guys that said they can do this job. All the guys said and swore on a stack of bibles saying they know they can be top male performers.

So one day i got contacted by an English TV host and crew asking if they can follow me around for a day and film me at work trying out new male talent. I said i will also need a real male talent just in case this new guy fails. He said how about you try 3 guys, surely one of them can do it. I said i will still need a "real performer" because these guys all will 100% fail.

He thought i was being a Dick. I said OK, i got $1000 saying that me trying out your 3 new guys will result in my time being wasted. He said "you are on mate".

The bet was on and this is the video clip of me trying out his 3 guys that he bet $1000 could do it. Enjoy. lol

I did..

Holly Shit!! Too funny! Got to love the internet for finding shit!

You know me too or you know where I post. lol

You rock!! Memories!



You need to be able to slam a CD case on your hard dick a dozen times without losing your erection or cuming before anyone will take you on for a porn shoot. It's a well known test. Film yourself doing it, and post it here.

Shit!! So cool, but your dead on my friend!!

This thread is tripping me out. I know I shoot porn and a lot of people jerk off to it, but I never really think that people figure out that Im the guy shooting it. or that people go out searching my past posts on other forums. So cool!!

I might just do that. I had such a hard-on the other day when I was looking at Amber Lynn Bach. I've been having trouble being consistent. But I can be. I know what was goin' on in my head that day. I've found that when I'm at my best, I can do it. It's what pickup artists call "inner game". You must be congruent.

As for posting a video, I don't even know how to do that but I think I know people with cameras who know how to do it. Perhaps I can get bthem to help me. Are you telling me if I take you up on this challenge and post it here, someone will hire me?


Everyone says they can do it! The problem is if you can't, the director/producer looses out on 1K on kills and fees that he doesn't get back because you promised that you can. Not say you can't. But if you get to LA, I will get you a tryout. It wont be for Brazzers though. Im for real on that! Ask anyone who knows me. But you also need to keep in mind, this isn't a dating service, you don't get to pick the girl. Its business, all business.



Ask JustDave - it's his story - hell, I lost half my friends when I did it........... the other half are gay.

Funny!! If you know where the Post is, copy it and post it! Its too funny!!

When are you gonna start shooting with TGirls for Brazzers? :)

I'd love to suck a TGirl's cock under water btw. :D




Down? Like on all fours? For ALL the fans?! Damn I don't wanna know what your butthole looks like! :uohs:


Sorry I don't Shoot that. But My buddy Jay Sin does. lol

Just Dave,

Who are some of the porn stars you enjoy working with? Are them some you can't stand; such as being demanding/diva/mental case? I noticed that you haven't shot any scenes with Jessica Jaymes, would you like to work with her someday?

I'm an on and off again member on Brazzers and I do enjoy your scenes more than Brando's. Keep up the good work.

Thank you. Much appreciated. I won't tell you who I don't like, its not professional and I might have to work with them again. lol


But I will answer you in a separate post. Great question.


So Dave, when the guy nuts in the pool, how fast to you have to swim to get the hell out of there?

HAHAHA!! That would suck!! Shooting this type of scenes, nobody does. So i made a nice formula for it that I like.

I get 3+ positions in the water then another 3+ out of the water. Why?? Because thats how I personally like it and if the watcher doesnt Like underwater, I have a lot of action out of the water. Im not so much about positions as much I'm about time. I like my scenes to look real. I don't zoom and I let the guy do what he wants to do when he wants to do it. To a point. I like to get a minimum 30 min of usable fucking. Im an editor, i know what is usable. My scenes to always be longer than most, but i don't seem to get any complaints.


Ohh Yea... Pop shot out of the water for sure!

Here's the link to some of the Brazzers Producer Audition competition videos that JustDave described above. Any guesses as to which one was his winning entry?

http://www.brazzersnetwork.com/tour...e_id=5670&nats=juggsfree:betaBTN:bzn,72,0,0,0


So cool!! Man you are way on it!!


Shooting? :D


Always!!



OK answered everyone!! A few of you will get your own post replies. I should be peeping for my scenes this weekend, but I wanted to get back to you guys.


Hope all is well,


Just Dave

Dave, have you shot any tests with the current generation of RED cameras? I think you'll find them more hand-held friendly than the F5 is since they are closer to DSLR form-factor. All the BTS material for Star Trek Into Darkness was shot on RED Epic because the camera is so hand-held friendly and allows for great intimacy in camera work.

Not yet.

A few of my friends are telling me to get into that system.

One thing I don't like is it will only shoot 4K. Where the Sony F5 can do 24 Megabits, 50, Megabits, 100 megabits, 2k and 4K. I like I can choose which file format to shoot at. I would hate to be able to shoot 4K only.



I know the editors are not ready to ingest 80+ scenes a month of 4K footage. Those are some massive files. The render and edit for each scene would be days.



Just Dave
 
Dunno who told you that Dave, but I can assure you that you have not been given correct information. RED shoots 1K all the way to 5K (Upcoming cameras do 6K) at many different compression rates, in-camera with no add-ons. The Sony F5 doesn't even do 4K without $7,000 in multiple add-ons last time I checked. Drop by RED Studios and they will let you play with whatever you want and answer any questions you have about workflow and accessories. You can get a RED Epic and shoot pretty much however you want, be it 1080P or 4K or even full-frame 5K (makes for great stills). The accessories and form-factor for the current RED cameras is about as hand-held friendly as it gets so you should really give it a try.

Colorado Springs? Awesome! My Black Belt buddy Bill Hoskins Brazilian Jui-Jitsu to Special Forces out there. He's pretty good! Shit! I helped teach him. lol

I had it bookmarked and showed it to guys wanting to audition then either told them to go home and do your CD test or, depending who else was there, told them to "whip it out and get it hard".

In fact, I think I switched to your CD test exclusively after I stated, in pretty conservative mixed company, "if a guy wants to audition for me, he has to be able to whip it out and get it hard in public". 15 seconds later my roommate, who has Asperger syndrome, was standing in the middle of the room stroking his throbbing 10" erection and asking "when can I shoot?" His social skills were so basic that I had to keep him away form the shoots.... he would have freaked everyone on set out. Great kid though.

Funny!! If you know where the Post is, copy it and post it! Its too funny!!

Can't find a link to the entire story but I could probably tell it accurately enough as to be recognizable. But Dirl already gave away the punchline. ;)

Im gonna do that. Your post will be the reason I call Red in the next 15 min. One of my close friends got 5 of his college film student buddies Jobs at Red 12 years ago after he turned down a top level position there. I got is there. You loving Red that much? Do you use it? If you use it and have one PM me and I will give you my contacts so we can discuss. Im a techy Geeky type guys when it comes to gear. So is Jules Jordan and My buddy Chris Streams who is on his way to my studio now. lol

I have used the ONE and EPIC but not for anything relating to the adult industry since I live on the other side of the country and not in Miami, unfortunately. I definitely love the cameras for what they are but there's a big learning curve that I wasn't prepared for because I come from the DSLR/traditional camcorder side of things and most of my background is in photography. The biggest thing you will have to deal with, personally, would be choice of the accessories and add-ons. There are so many of them out there for various rigs and setups when it comes to shooting hand-held/steadicam. RED is about to release a new sensor for EPIC and SCARLET and a new footage processing card in September so you don't need to jump in right now. Just get your feet wet and then go swimming next year when you're ready. If you want to try out a RED EPIC kit without renting one, both Digital Playground and Wicked both have RED EPIC kits in their arsenals, so you might want to reach out to those you know and see if you can throw together some quick tests to see for yourself. RED has launched their RED RAY 4K distribution player and the digital distribution network they are setting up for launch next year is something that Brazzers will definitely want to get in on in the next 18 months as RED has the most broadband friendly solution out there and 4K TVs will be plentiful and cheap next year. Imagine 4K video on demand files smaller than the current sizes of Brazzer's 1080P HQ downloads, shot through the net to anyone in the US with even a low-end cable internet connection. Mind-boggling!

4K is happening, Brazzers will probably be the 1st ones out. We and a meeting in Canada exactly one year ago about it.

Me, I will spend what ever it is I need, but I will research it heavily before i get into a new system.

What you need to keep in mind and Chris Streams reminded me of it yesterday, was that my style and his style is heavy hand held follow the action movement and that all of these high end cameras don't have image stabilization and steady cam rigs are way out of the question. Steady came points the camera straight ahead and getting the angles the way I do, wont work with a steady cam. He was shooting Manuel Fararra's stuff yesterday with a Sony Something or other. Great set up, great lens choices he had with it. And the way he has his color profiles set, it matches a DSLR. But I'm gonna wait and see whats coming out next.


PM Me, will give you my phone number so we can chop it up. Camera Gear and tech shit is way up my ally. lol

I thought there was a contest....

yup.. 2 1/2 years ago.


PS4 or Xbox One? :)



Didn't mean you personally. More brazzers in general. :)


Nope. But I know there is Monster Money in it. My buddy Dirty White Boy shoots Lady Boys in Thailand. And My other friend Jay Sin shoots it here and all over the world. Very few shooters make it and there is a lot of money around it.

I think its cool, just not my cup of tea to shoot. Wouldn't know 1st thing on what the fans would like to see when shooting it.


Props and respect, out to you Dave !!! For real!


Thank you.


I work really hard to give the fans like you what they want to see every time i go to work.
