You can try Celtx, it's free, a pretty useful program. Not only for scripting,shot lists,etc, but if you have pics you can drag/drop them to create a storyboard. www.celtx.com hope that helps Stussey www.masscontrolmedia.com stussey@masscontrolmedia.com

It's kind of weird how this thread has grown. Everyone has their own opinion and should be respected. Normally I wouldn't go looking for jobs in the porn industry, but being in Atlanta, I'll take a weekly paying job over not knowing where my next check will be, even if it is porn. The company that I'm working for uses Sony Sony HVR-Z1U's. From what I've seen, Sony's are pretty popular in the porn world. They actually do take a more traditional shooting style than some others I've known. I think it all depends on the niche that you're going for. But I can understand how someone would think that shooting porn isn't the same as shooting a movie. But to be honest, I've worked on some no budget shorts that weren't very artistic or attempted to create a great shot. I guess it's all in who's watching it and if it's for you or not.

I started out in music recording almost 20 years ago, when recording, for the most part you recorded dry and added effects later. Then I got into post, learned my way around editing/effects and such. Then I got into the production side of things. As an editor I hate hearing 'we'll fix it in post'. But found myself doing it on projects I knew I was editing myself because I knew what I could get away with. The question I have is when you're shooting, how do you decide if you're going to do a certain look in the camera or in post. I'm not really talking effects per se. But things like color temp, etc. thanks for any thoughts on this.... Stussey

Being that I've ventured into that realm couple times to film in gaps here in Atlanta, I know 1 company that shot on Digital 8's and didn't really edit. Quality....no...but people bought it. Lately, the companies are jumping into HD, Sony's seems to be the popular choice. Once again the camera is only as good as the lighting. If you light the hell out of scene with HD you'll need every soft filter/diffusion you can get to lessen the appearance of blemishes. I guess it matters if you're shooting hardcore of Skinemax style of porn.
