Hi, I am curious what it takes to be behind the camera in the porn industry. I'm a 25 year old director, and with financial storm clouds brewing, this seems like an ideal job. I am multi skilled, and talented as a director, editor, motion graphics artist, photographer, writer, 2d/3d animator, and production designer. I have frequently watched porn and thought, "I could do that better." I just don't know where to start.

Good luck.
I can't count the number of times I have seen what amounts to this exact post on porn boards over the years. Thousands?
Might want to mention a few things like where you're located and what you have done so far.
You got a web site? What film school did you graduate from?
Where could we see your work?

I have no idea how to get noticed and I'm sure others will have better answers. I just wanted you to elaborate a bit. Too often people will say they are a "director" (or whatever) but give no reason to believe them. Some porn fans think they know everything about making a porn movie just because they've watched one before. My post was just to ask about a few details. Again, good luck. (I'm an astronaut).

Spikey you've come to the right place. There are many porn vets on this board that can help you. I have been in porn since 2000 and I've directed over 500 films. The first thing you need to do is decide what you want to do that makes you different. Then capitalize on that unique gift for all the world to see.
The unfortunate truth is that you'll have to start in gay porn. Everybody does it. It's the only way to break into the business. I suggest you start sucking cock immediately because if you aren't any good at it, nobody will hire you. This might sound tough for you but trust me. If you don't start sucking cock and taking it up the poop chute nobody is going to take you seriously. Film 5 or 10 scenes of you blowing guys and taking loads and send those videos to Jeff Steward and Tony Malice at JM Productions. If they like what they see they'll sign you to an exclusive contract.
Good luck with your new career.

Yes, I getcha. I mean, I watch porn, but don't really consider myself an active "fan." I see the industry as a place to use my talents, rather than a place rub elbows with stars.
Hmmm, I suppose I need a porn demo reel?
This thread is beyond god-like.

Well sparky I am sure you can make a better porn. No worries your 2d/3d animation will come into play here in porn. When your parents see your directorial debut of granny bangers #10 has hit the Internet they will send the link to everyone they know. At that moment you will look at your parents and smile knowing that their $40,000 for MetArt went to good use.
Stop using your debt as an excuse to try and get laid!
