Ask The Pornographer - 2015

[Soilwork]

Hi Jasun,

the three main types of lamps used when shooting with a film/video camera are Tungsten-halogen lamps, high-frequency fluorescent (Kino Flo) and the HMI lights.


What kind of lamps do you use for your porn shoots or other kind of filming? Tungsten-halogen lamps? Kino? HMI lights?

I'm not a fan of Kinos. Not sure why, the light just feels cold to me. Although they do throw a very even soft light that softens shadows.

when I'm in a studio and have a lot of space and power I use Tungsten but those are VERY hot and take a lot of power, so on location shoots I've just stared to experiment with LEDs which so far... I'm pretty happy with the results.

Can I come work with you?
I can pay my own way...room and board and food.
I will clean up cum an be your go to bitch.....dude....

Your lifestyle seems like my paradise

Jasun, have you ever met or worked with Frank DeFeo? If so...I've been really curious to know what his orientation truly is...One source says he's straight, and another one claims he's bisexual but prefers women.

Sorry, but LEDs are what kind of lamps??

What is an actor's schedule like? Do they work intensively in short periods of time? Or do they work by regular intervals?
I assume they need to rest between their performances, but for how long?

 

[star-warrior]

Why don't you make a porn opera where the actors have to sing about how big the cock is and how he's feeling good, and if he wants it etc?

If someone has already done this, perhaps you could do it better?

I support that!

I mean... when we shoot on location we all stay at the same house and it's catered, so no need to pay for room and board. I also am a big supporter of the idea that people get paid fairly for the work they do.

I'll keep you in mind if my current PA quits....

no, never worked with him.

Those. They use a lot less electricity and are a lot easier to transport.

I mean, I never shoot more than one scene per day and usually I'll give them a day off in between if I can. Usually a regularly-working porn star will work maybe 3-4 shoots per month.. some more and some less.

Remember I do one production run per month, usually 4 days in a row with four men who all do two scenes each. For many of them they do maybe one or two runs like that for different studios unless they're exclusive and then they only do maybe 6-8 scenes per year (most exclusives have regular day jobs and porn is the a hobby).

Because

1. one must train for years to become an opera singer, and most of them aren't in the kind of shape one needs to be in to be a porn star.

2. That idea isn't even remotely hot. Funny... but not hot.

3. I'd have to pay royalties to the song writer and that would be a nightmare.

4. it's hard enough to get good dialogue, can you imagine trying to get people to sing while they're fucking?

Excuses, excuses, tut, tut, tut.

Being such a great lip synch artist, as well as some of your fellow car passengers, it wouldn't be that difficult to come (lol I said it) up with something.

Time for a funny question.....If you're a fan of Futurama, then you'll get it...if not, a little bit of Google-fu will help


Would you ever want to condemned to death by gay snu-snu?

While I agree with all of your other points, there are a number of very hot, handsome male opera singers who regularly (and I assume enthusiastically) show off their bodies onstage. I saw a production a few years ago of Andre Previn's opera "A Streetcar Named Desire" where the singer portraying Stanley was shirtless for most of the opera, as were many of his hunky friends. Google "Barihunk Images" for a look at some of these studs who also sing.

I mean... I'm trying to logistically figure out how you'd do that and it wouldn't be easy. Aside from that... again.... not remotely hot.

I think that's the one episode I ever saw.

Ok and how many of them want to make gay porn?

I'd shoot most of those guys, sure, but honestly the idea of an opera singer singing about "how big that cock" is... really un-hot

 

[xboxfan34]

LOL wouldn't a bunch of extremely muscular Hans Hoffman/Steve Benthin-esque power bottoms with huge asses riding your dick endlessly until your pelvis shatters be an awesome way to go?

no, I want to die on international TV accepting my Oscar and be killed by falling parts of the International Space Station.

I want to go in a way that's going to be so unforgettable that every other death will be graded on the "Jasun Mark" scale.

Like most people measure their self worth, you know?

 

[xboxfan34]

Okay, time for a more serious question....

Have you ever felt odd while watching gay porn because you think the couple fucking are actually really cute together? I saw a video with Bronson Gates with this guy named Roman Wright and the way those two interacted with each other before they started going at it I thought was SO adorable

I agree. Simply responding to the contention that few opera singers have good enough bodies to do porn. Opera companies know their audience and know that good-looking men on stage help fill the house--and the word has gotten out to the singers.
