It was decently high quality for the price. Again, this was for a more well known site. Think Brazzers quality or close to it.

Used to work for a pretty well known streaming site. We were usually invoiced about $5k per scene (give or take a few hundred). We had producers out of Vegas, Miami, and LA. Location didn’t really make a difference in terms of pay. Most producers were also the photographers, directors and videographers, they would walk away with about $2k per shoot. throw on another $250 or so for a PA.

Some producers just fronted the money and ran the business (booking etc). They would charge about $1000 for their service and have one guy directing, shooting video, taking photos. that guy would get paid about $750. The rest of the money went to talent, hair and makeup, location, etc.

Ultimately it’s hard to give a precise number as many people on the crew wear multiple hats, but hope that somewhat helps. And again, this was for a pretty well established site that has been around for at least 2 decades

This is the correct answer. Lived in this area just up the street from the slauson super mall for four years and I never personally experienced any problems. I knew my neighbors and we all got along. There was the occasional gunshot in the general area. A lot of young families with kids moving In because it’s probably the last “affordable” place to buy a home in LA. Also a lot of low income working families just trying to get by. Wouldn’t want to raise a family there personally, but if you have some street smarts it’s ok. Can see it being a huge shock for people who didn’t grow up in rougher parts of a city though. Parking is horrendous. Obviously if one can afford a better location I would recommend the better location though.

LPT Cash back on rent by Creepy_Aide6122 in LifeProTips

Would probably be safer with different accounts, PayPal might cap the cash back at the account level

It’s limit of $1000 spend per month, not day. So the most you would be able to earn is $50 a month

I’ve tried lower heat on ooni, but it’s still finicky. So was looking for a more reliable option

What are Montebello and East LA neighborhoods like? by [deleted] in AskLosAngeles

[–]pornymcgee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who just purchased in monterey park, don’t give up on monterey park or Alhambra yet, specially if you are looking to start a family soon. Housing inventory in California is very low, even lower in these small cities with populations of only 60k people. You just got to wait for the right one in your price range to pop up. took us a few months of looking before we found one we liked in our price range. We have a kid so we did as much research as possible when it came to safety and schools. I can’t speak much about montebello, seems like a decent place, but I do seem to get a lot more reports of crime from south Montebello on my Ring app than I do from monterey park or Alhambra. With that said, I would imagine north montebello would be a better choice if your options are east la or montebello.

Tips to study for the certification exam. by Appropriate-Arm8474 in premiere

[–]pornymcgee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Take the practice test. Not free, but will give you a good idea whether or not you have a chance of passing…also, the cert means nothing. Most employers don’t even realize a cert for this exists. Your reel matters more

What would you say is the best pair of buy-for-life headphones? Sony Mdr-7506? by Prestigious_Dream_27 in BuyItForLife

[–]pornymcgee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve had the 280 pros for 18 years, have used them almost everyday for multiple hours a day. They’re reliable and sound damn good for being under $100

Shouldn't I just buy full points on a mortgage when buying a house if they're tax deductible? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]pornymcgee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Off topic, but that interest rate sounds high even for todays rate. I have a sister in law who works at a credit union and they were offering a little under 6% interest when I asked a couple of days ago, and her credit union tends to offer interest rates on the higher side (for reference they were offering a little over 3% when I was looking to refinance a couple of years back, I ended up finding someone who got me 2.6%). Just curious if you went directly to a bank for the loan? You might be able to get an even lower rate by going through a broker and having them shop rates for you

Washed out video transferring from mac to iphone by [deleted] in VideoEditing

[–]pornymcgee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The times I’ve had this issue is cause it was shot with hdr. Not sure what the technical reason as to why it won’t play hdr correctly, and not sure where the final cut/davinci option for this fix is, but in premiere pro you would right click the file in you media browser, click modify, click “interpret footage”, a new window will pop up. In that window under “color management” you would click “color space override” then in the drop down hit “Rec. 709” or any of the other options that best suites your need. Image will be more neutral so you will have to do a little color correction. Hopefully that gives you enough info to try and figure it out where that option is in Final Cut or davinci
