Hi all!

I need some help. How does one get to find a professional erotic videographer???

Me and my gf want to film ourselves making love karma sutra style. I'll edit it etc. It will be our masterpeice and for future prosperity. Imagine 40yrs later viewing it.

Anyway, id appreciate your help.

Depends on the level of professionalism you are looking for. No doubt anybody with a camera would be willing to show and film you, though you may want to ask to see samples of their work.

For any decent type of shots I would imagine that, as a minimum, the person you are looking for would have a halfway decent camera (either a 3CCD standard camera or almost any high-def camera), at least four lights (no, household lighting won't work, it won't look sexy - it'll just look grainy) and they should have a camera that uses memory cards.

The reason for the memory cards is that they allow you to supply the memory card, the videographer supplies the camera, lighting and expertise.

Alternatively, you can pick up a high-def camera relatively cheaply (Kogan brand are good and easy to use, come from Australia and will do 1080p for under $300 including postage) and just get a friend to help. For lighting, I suggest getting some of those cheap 500 watt work lights from bunnings. If you want to look slightly more professional, replace the standard bulbs with cool white bulbs (about $9 for a pair, also from bunnings).

If you have any questions, feel free to ask, I can supply information and how-to's so that you can film yourselves (a nice tripod you can get off eBay from $20) or you can invite a friend/aquaintance over to hold the camera.

And if you really want the video to look great, you can get a Spiderbrace so that whoever is holding the camera can take rock-steady shoulder mounted shots (and avoid the nauseating shaky-cam effect most amatuer videos are plagued by).

thanks loan road!

good advice and i agree with all your tips. Ideally we'd want 2 cams. one on a tripod and cam2 being mobile carried by a videographer. We want it done professionally without missing any of the money shots. Calling a friend is not an option, we'd prefer him/her to be unknown to us.

A steady shot mount is what im looking for and someone who has an eye for shooting porn to get the close ups and angles etc. I can organise the lighting and that way it would end up costing less. But i dont mind paying what it takes to have it all prepared by a professional.

The problem still remains: i cant find where these erotic videographers are listed.

Any ideas where i can find an independant (no freinds) videographer? Or must i knock on the doors of the porn industry lol

Cheers

Ian Robertson is good. He runs girlsgodownunder.com but is based over east.

Your best bet at the moment is to watch this thread. Odds are that by the end of the week there will be a stack of people saying "I'll do it". I know there are several floating around offering photography services, though I haven't seen any offering video services.

Drop Mary-Anne a message here on the forums. I'm sure she knows a few people as she's had work done at Langtrees. Pretty much anyone who is halfway reputable will be more than happy to provide samples of previous work and / or references.

I'll admit I haven't gone looking which is why I don't know of anybody to recommend...

I can help you guys. But I'm not an erotic videogrpher.

I would suggest you to do it with 2 Panasonic HD cameras (HDR Range) with bounced lights.

The video would look amazing if you do with with 2 Canon 5D Mark2 / 1D or 1Ds.
But it's pretty hard to handle all alone.

It's not a good idea to let 2 people because it's a private video.

How would the video look with Panasonic TM700?

It should look pretty decent. The 700 is a nice all-round camera with several features suitable to your particular needs:

-It does well in low light, so you don't have to flood the whole room with white light (which will kill the mood),
-It is progressive so you won't get that parrallelogram look when the camera pans (where the image apears to distort in direction opposite of travel - most obvious on the camera on cheap mobile phones),
-and it has optical image stabilisation which will help the person holding it keep a steady image.
