The models are of age? You have all the required consent forms that the government insists you keep on record forever? Proof of identity, immigration status, consent forms, proof of age?

The hotel shouldn't object if you say you are having friends visit as long as you don't destroy anything or are noisy enough to bother the neighbors.

I can bring in my own bedsheets/pillow case (and similar items) for the video to replace what they have in the hotel (that way no one from the hotel can say that we filmed on their bed and what not)

Des... thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for :) I was also thinking, just as a precaution, I can bring in my own bedsheets/pillow case (and similar items) for the video to replace what they have in the hotel (that way no one from the hotel can say that we filmed on their bed and what not), then I'll put the hotel sheets,etc. back after filming.

Regarding the first thing you said... Yes, the models would be of age. I know of the 2257 Compliance Form, I will have to make copies of their state ID or driver's license to keep on file, I do know there is a model consent form but I don't have all the details to this. Would you know where I could find the exact forms required for this?

Thanks. Just trying to do my research before all else.

Even though you classify yourself as a fetish site, you're still considered a porn site and will be given the same rules to follow as a porn site online. You're going to need an attorney anyway if you're going to run this as a business. So at that point I'd talk to him as to the legalities.

I think as long as the hotel is not identifiable in the film/photos, it should not be a problem. I would just be careful not to include anything in your shots that would make anyone say, "oh they shot this at "X" hotel". If the hotel is easily identifiable (i.e., the view through the window, or unmistakable architecture or design, etc. - because the city does have readily identifiable hotels), you might have a problem. I think anything that could make the hotel appear to approve in anyway of the content of the film/shot where the hotel is identifiable could be grounds for a lawsuit. (Just like you can't have a Coke can sitting on the nightstand either, because trust me, once you start distributing your film in any way, shape or form, the company will absolutely sue you for unauthorized use of their product - I would think a readily identifiable hotel in New York would have similar rights.) If you want a more reliable answer, you really need to consult a lawyer.

This. I can tell you right now, if my father found out that his hotel had been used for a porn shoot and it was instantly recognizable, he would chase you to the ends of the earth to sue you for damaging the image of his hotel.

Sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong place, but thought I would give it a shot. I live in NYC and I'm considering starting up my own nylon fetish site with stories plus videos. I have no problem finding models, my only issue is finding a place to shoot. I would go with photography studios (believe me, there are plenty of affordable ones) but none of them have any furniture in it whatsoever. I need at least a bed, table, some chairs, a couch, separate rooms (bathroom, kitchen, bedroom, living room). A photography studio is just one big blank space and nothing more.

So I found some affordable hotel suites around NY that have exactly what I'm seeking. The question is whether or not I would find myself in some kind of trouble with the hotel if I were to bring in two female models plus my equipment (which is not very much). Now I can understand if I was shooting a porno (which I am not), but these would be nylon fetish videos that contain female teasing/denial, bondage, domination, roleplay, some sensual kissing/touching, as well as light facesitting (CLOTHED, never nude). The models would never be fully naked.

Would this be a problem if I were to do this in a hotel suite in NY? If yes, then where would be a more suitable place to do something like this?
