Shooting for video/DVD is much the same... at the rate you're willing to pay, you're looking at $10,000 production costs for a standard five scene DVD. Typically, a new release from a new producer may sell 1000 units. IF you can find a distributor, and IF you can negotiate receiving $10 per DVD you'll break even. Now to be honest, I don't have a lot of experience in shooting content for video/DVD releases, so I might be completely wrong in my figures... but if so I'm sure someone here will correct me...

My feelings are that $300 for a BJ, $400 for G/G, $800 for B/B and $1000 for B/G/A is fair pricing for 98% of the talent out there.



Thanks for the information.
I was thinking of $20,000 in production costs for a DVD (2 girls and one guy in each scene plus crew) but I was hoping for sales of at least 2,500 units leaving me with a profit of $5,000 or higher per DVD.

I guess I was being overly optimistic with the number of units I could sell as an unknown producer.

I'd still like to go ahead with this even if it means the risk of losing money.

Any idea on how much adult cable companies pay to air movies?
