for websites, you can get top-name (no contract) girls for in the range of $500 to $1000 per scene.
they typically will not do 4-guy gang bangs, but you could still get a top name porn star doing anal for $1000 per scene.
the guys get paid much much less. The best male actors get paid $300 per scene.
so if you did it for a WEBSITE (the talent charges more for DVDs because they make more money) it would be $1300 for a one-on-one scene with top level talent.
add hosting, development, and bandwidth costs and that is your cost for a website.
the DVDs cost on the order of $30,000 to get produced to the point where you can have the DVDs professionally produced in large quantities.
that includes paying the talent, editing, paying for sets (they actually typically rent out houses), graphic design for the cover and DVD, and creation of the DVD menus and whatnot.
that is a generic cost. it could be much less. That is about what it costs to produce a top-tier DVD in 2011
I am not talking about a mega $1 million title like Pirates....
more like one of the many many "top tier" DVDs that are produced in large quantities by large studios every year.
that would be 3-4 scenes, with maybe 1 or 2 top level porn stars and 2 mid-level porn stars.
again, you can do it for less or for more. but its definitely in the multiple $10,000 range.
after that I have no idea how distribution and rights work. I only have an idea of how much it costs to pay the actors.
Note:
I read websites like Lukeford for my sources on pay.
also real porn stars actually post on
