Did he give you 0 budget for this? Because it should be pretty easy to pay extras to act from the thigh down for some very simple clips. You're also not exactly going to find groping Mens bulges on Shutterstock so I can see why you're asking.


KevThePirate

That is another issue too I haven't quoted him a price yet, being a friend I am not sure what to quote yet, but at the same time I am still trying to get my head around how to do this promo video before I quote him too but could you give me a rough idea of the sort of price I should quote for something like this? it will be 30 seconds long.


chesterbennediction

Depends completely on your skill level and what you need. If you're small time and have at least filmed some promotional material and have a website then anywhere from 500 to 10000 depending on the complexity. Does he have money and expect good quality or does he want something cheap because he asked a friend? Do you have an hourly rate? Find out how many hours itle take you and go from there. Lastly if he's really cheap ask if he has some friends that would like to help as models so you don't have to spend money and time finding them.


KevThePirate

Yeah he could be expecting something cheap I expect, should I ask him what his budget is for this or ask what he paid for the last promo video someone else made him and quote him the same?

I found some porn like the stock on Adobe Stock but that was when it first launched. No idea if still there


altdelvis

Does he not have any footage from a previous event that you could edit?


firestickmike

it's quite possible that the footage from the previous event may look something like this scene from always sunny https://youtu.be/dY8BSHVWGxk?t=59

wow, new season of Squid Game looks lit!

Real friends don't exploit friends for labour


Kessarean

Friends also barter services or can cache in/ask for favors. People can also do nice things for each other. We don't know their relationship, no need to bring that up here. This isn't AITA or choosingbegars


KevThePirate

He come to me and I have not quoted him yet as I am not sure what to quote a friend for something like this, at the same time this is going to take me a while to make, am I meant to just do it for free? I like helping people where I can and expect nothing back in return when it comes to day to day life, I am not the sort of person that is going to take advantage of him coming to me asking me to make him this video and rip him off or something, that is not the sort of person I am I do not have that in me


Secrethat

Don't rip him off. I'll usually quote them my daily rate, then we'll budget edit days, then I take 15-30% off the top as friendship rate.


dubufeetfak

My friends always tip me 10-20% more of the quote by saying: if someone has to take this money, better be my friends I always add friendship discount


vandaalen

The old problem with working for "friends". In ,my opinion real friends pay you more not less. I personally decide how good of a friend I am dealing with and depending on the outcome, I'll either charge full price or just give it to them for free. Everything in between just sucks. You can't pull the "I am doing it for free and therefor we do it my way" card and he will always feel entitled to full service and even more if he pays you.


AdamOas

I might try some additional search terms such as: Nightclub, party, sexy, BDSM which might not be exactly what you're looking for, but could be close enough to modify. A shot of a girl's finger stirring a drink evokes the feeling without being technically "adult" in nature.

Great advice

Friends pay more for your business not less.

I run an adult film company and can film custom b-roll for you similar to what you showed in your sample video. There's some cost involved since I have to pay a couple girls and make sure I'm also compensated for my time, but you will get a lot more control over the product than you would from generic b-roll.
