ORIGINAL: LadyConstanze You might be able to rent a street for a shot cheaply in Eastern Europe, but that does not protect you when it comes to the laws, it might actually be a lot cheaper to pay somebody who's able to insert CGI than pay the fines or bribes... And you know, a struggling economy would not mind paying somebody a bit of money for reporting a violation they can cash in on... Or you might find it cheaper still to just pay some dude 500 euro to film it and run fast if the law shows up. I certainly think thats the simplest, cheapest and therefore IMHO most likely explanation. This will only be solved if an authoritive source in the industry fesses up (unlikely as yes CGI ruins the illusion and NO admits liability) or someone with the skills and tech rips the movies and convinces all of us they know what they're talking about and telling the truth (equally unlikely as this is the internets). I think we're at an impasse, but what the heck. Thaz I don't know how authoritative I am, but I AM in the industry - BondageMaidens.com - and I personally haven't heard of anyone using CGI in Bondage porn. Adult porn done by the majors like Evil Angel budgets $12K to $25k per shoot; Kink seems to be the biggest budget studio around, and I think their shoots run $3000 - $5000 per day. Most studios are much lower budget than that. If you look closely, you'll notice even Kink is now doing one-camera shoots - we're probably the last studio still using two cameras. There are several reasons for that, but the main one is it takes a lot more time to edit with two cameras, and again, bondage is a niche market, so budgets are tight. In any case, CGI isn't necessary - when I've done public shoots here, I just picked a spot with no kids and easy escape routes and had a helper carrying an overcoat. We'd strip her, shoot for an minute or two, clap the coat on her, and disappear, then repeat either on the next block or a half hour later. Put all the short clips together and they appear to be all one shoot. Two weeks ago I watched some friends of mine do a hook suspension of a model at the entrance to a mall in Little Tokyo. That involved doing the makeup and costume before hand at the studio, then hooking her up, then (Carefully) loading her and the rigging into the van; the rest of us followed in cars. Now, aside from Producer, my title is Rigger; I'm the male lead in our shoots. But these guys are light years more advanced than I am. They threw their lines over beams and had her six feet in the air in about a minute flat. We all took photos like crazy, they took her down and gathered up the rigging and we were out of there so fast a crowd didn't have time to form. ... Submitted for what it's worth.
