getting started in industry - help needed

[lbglamour]

Right here goes, after sometime uming and rrring ive decided to start up my own site.

what type of camcorder is best to get started, have got hi8 but been told dv better for quality.

Then setting up website, who is best to buy domain and services of to set up set.

Then who is best to collect payment for paid site.

The rest getting models, references etc, type of material i've got ideas of this and other sites etc

so basically just need to get right type of camcorder, right domain and host and here i go in to the wide world of porn.

Who to take the money, start with CCBill

hosting try Powerstorm

Type of camcorner, go for a 3 CCD/Chip DV camera, ideally one with headphone and mic sockets, and if poss an accessory shoe.

You have 2 options a 'get me by for now' camera for around 400-800 or a 'good starter camera' for around 800-1400.

The Canon XM2 is my top pick budget which will last well into your getting setup, if you have money to spend the XL2 or XH A1, I'm a canon fan

The rest is experience, and research

Search the name Joe A on here, along with hosting, billing, payment etc etc and look thru the results lots of info from him.

Payment - CCBill or Verotel Ticketsclub (www.verotel.com)

Camcorder - you can start with a decent HDD model. Sony's start at ?300.

Camera - Nikon D40 is a good starter at ?250ish in the sales.

Hosting - too many to mention....

Remember it's all about content with porn. Spuffco.com, my site, has used the cheap equipment i've listed when i started and had no complaints. Just make sure you have good composition, good light and some great, nasty content

Hi,
I have a website up for sale that you may be intereested in. I had intended to turn it into a members site but due to other commitments I no longer have time for this.

The sale includes the site, all the models shots (I have many more shots of models to update that you could also have) the domain name, and you could have the email address keith@theedgemodels.co.uk which is tied up with the server.

The site can easily be developed into whatever you want. This is an inexpensive way to get you started. Check the site at

Go to Curry's/Dixons & pick up a Sony/Panasonic Mini Dv Camera that works well in low lux (low light) they range from ?200-?2500, if you are just starting get a budget camera if its amateur based material your shooting. Practise shooting in different lights indoors/outdoors & experiment with sound by using the onboard mic & if you have a socket an enternal mic as well. Invest in a cheap cover for the ex mic if outside in the wind as a good sex scene can be ruined by wind noise so try out different things & see what works best.
Go to http://www.moonfruit.com for a free site (up to 15 pages) and when you are ready upgrade with them & start a pay site, while using moonfruit use others space & not your own e.g. go to image shack etc for your images & free uploading sites for video (some allow up to 200mb).
Link from these sites to your moonfruit site hence saving money.
For models go to http://glamourfinder.com/cgi-bin/home.cgi where there are girl/guys to suit all budgets, also try http://www.adultwork.co.uk as again theres plenty to look through.
Whilst getting known put short 30 second video clips on Adultwork & some pics & it help fund you to you get on your feet.
Us & lots of others buy amateur footage so theres always that avenue to,
have fun & enjoy it as thats the main thing in this game. If you need anymore help feel free to get in touch.
