Then you film a hot skinny teen girl (dime a dozen) either masturbating or "romantically" fucking while using copywritten (stolen) music in the background.
I don't see anything expensive about those shoots at all. And I've been looking at a LOT of them because they are being submitted to my tube site like crazy. So far ZERO sales. 
But the point is...why would you think that is an "expensive" shoot? Nothing special about the camera work. The lighting costs are ZERO. I'd pay the girl $300 for that solo shit and $1,000 for the hardcore. The guy in the hardcore would be lucky to get $100
Don't get me wrong...I'm not criticizing the content because I like it a lot. I'm just saying...it's not expensive at all to shoot. A typical shoot in LA is way more expensive. |

And the shooter isn't even trying to get good angles and different shots. It looks like they kinda just tell a guy to fuck a teen and to hell with different positions or even having the model or the guy keep their hands out of the way of the shots. You can't see jack shit.
It's damn near ready for late night on Cinemax. lol
So if you did overpay a shooter...you would definitely be throwing your money in the garbage. Those scenes could almost be shot with a cam on a tripod and a remote control to zoom.

Then go and do it and anyone else who thinks they can do it.
This argument would work perfectly if in 2005 all the online content shooters were selling their work to offline paying up to 10 times what online paid. They submitted and were rejected time after time. Their work wasn't so good. On so many levels. I'm not a class of one, there are 100s of shooters who were selling to mags and not bothering to sell online. Go figure out why yourself.
Just because you can sit in a Formula 1 car and drive a Ford on a motorway, it doesn't mean you're Louis Hamilton. Simplified but you get my meaning.
