Shooting Your Own Porn Movie Can Be Fun
Would you shoot your own porno?
After watching a ton of porn, I decided to figure out how difficult it would be to film myself. I got one of those Flips (great for anything, actually), and recorded the whole scene that way. We also used an iPhone for the initial interview shots. Those things are pretty amazing.
I asked two male friends of mine if they’d be interested. To be on the safe side, I made them sign waivers saying they couldn’t promote me as the director or producer, and I signed a waiver saying I wasn’t allowed to use the film without their permission. My guess is that it will stay in their “home movie” collection.
Tony and Carmen are lovers in real life, and I contemplated doing a bareback scene. They agreed to that, and it would have been more fun for them, and easier for Tony (he’s the top). After giving it some thought I decided against it because I don’t want to promote unsafe sex.
There’s a short interview at the beginning, and they say they are lovers, and that they live together in Harlem. Instead of having them say what they were gonna do, I told them to surprise us. Basically, for the next 25 minutes, I let them do whatever they wanted. (The only proviso I made was they had to suck, lick, and fuck.)
They did all of this, and I used hand signals when I wanted them to change positions or acts. Tony really sucked Carmen hard, while fingering him a lot. That part was so hot I wanted to have Carmen shoot in Tony’s mouth, but was worried he’d be spent.
Anyway, they fucked, and it is hard to get a good angle. Both of them are Italian, both are cut, and both have pretty amazing bodies and cocks—they didn’t say anything, but my guess was they’ve filmed themselves before. There were a lot of stops and starts, in part because I hate watching guys put condoms on, and after awhile Tony needed a break. Doggy style worked best, because the angle is much easier to film. Missionary was difficult and dull. These guys are lovers, so when they fuck, it’s intense and close! Tony never wanted to back away at all, or stop kissing Carmen. It’s all shot on a white bed. We used natural light, and the quality is pretty good.
Overall, the final product isn’t bad. If I get very bored one of these days, or very ambitious, I may just start making films. I’ve seen much worse online.
