After recently watching Zack and Miri make a porno, I couldn’t help but finally make a video on an amazing book that I picked up a while ago to review for you all – Make Your Own Adult Video by Petra Joy w/ David Bramwell.
Not only was the book well written, easy to follow, fun, insightful and a quick read, but it was also wonderfully laid out with pictures to help demonstrate the way cameras work and the subtle differences lighting, angles and other effect can make.
When it comes to the step by step process of making an adult video this book does a fantastic job of allowing you to make quality and professional looking material while also encouraging you to fully customize it to your specific tastes.
All in all, this is one of the most informative and fun books I have ever seen on the subject and I encourage those of you who are interested in making an adult film to check it out.

I do transfers from film and video to DVD and other digital formats.
I’ve had a few “adult” videos come in to be transfered to DVD. I guess the stars want to be able to enjoy their performances well after the last VCR has been sent to the landfill.
I also had a family bring me some old 8mm film movies. They wanted to review the footage before I made the final set of DVDs. They said “Dad threw some pretty wild parties.” They wanted to make sure the grandkids didn’t see anything X-rated.
So this is not a new phenomenon….but probably a lot more common than in the past.
