> It is very unusual to find second cameramen on porn sets these days: the internet is killing porn-makers who take pride in production values. It’s because the money is now in the pockets of the tech giants in faraway cities such as Montreal, owners of sites such as PornHub that are crammed with pirated content illegally uploaded by fans; PornHub is currently the world’s 38th most popular site.
So much wrong with this paragraph, I hardly know where to start.
First of all, custom-made pornograhy is exploding as a market because cameras are cheap.
Secondly, multi-camera work is not indicative of high production values. Typically single camera work gives the director more control over each shot, and is more time consuming. So cheap-fast camera work will involve multiple cameras, then post-shoot editing to stitch things together.
Third, people make porn in Quebec. I think the only place people don't make porn is Utah--though it's the #1 place for people to retire to afterwards.
Fourth, PornHub is owned by MindGeek which also owns Brazzers, Mofos, DigitalPlayground, Twistys, RealityKings, and has many relationships with other producers. You see a lot of full length movies on Pornhub, not merely because people are breaking copyright laws but because those movies are the ones released as part of the required relationship (or released on other free site), and thus aren't really worth chasing down and taking offline.
Ahh.. rant over.
I will add though Anatomik does good work, and I'm glad to see the more mainstream media paying attention to them.
- adam_seeliger 9y agoYou watch a lot of porn. Not judging, just impressed.

- true_religion 9y agoYes, I work in the industry. MindGeek owns like 80% of it. They even owned Playboy Digital for a little while.
- microwavecamera 9y agoI was just joking around, apparently I offended some people. I don't know anything about the industry and honestly never heard of MindGeek, but now that you're explaining it it's actually pretty interesting. How much is MindGeek worth?
- BrandoElFollito 9y agoLess today, but discussing at IT conferences with people from the porn industry was awesome. They had particularly extraordinary solutions for video - this was one of these bleeding edge solutions wher you had to cram a reasonably good steam into a modem+ bandwidth.
- paulcole 9y ago>I think the only place people don't make porn is Utah--though it's the #1 place for people to retire to afterwards. Is this true? And if so, why?
- true_religion 9y agoIt's kind of anecdotal, but the reason is Utah has good schools, nice houses, inexpensive land, and residents who do not admit to watching porn, much less try to accost people they think they recognize there.
- Thriptic 9y agoIt has historically had a high concentration of Mormons and this has shaped the state's culture.
- paulcole 9y agoHuh? Was this meant to explain why ex porn stars move to Utah?

There was, a few years ago, an article in the local newspaper abount Mindgeek by a journalist who had just found out about it. Apparently the technical challenges are pretty interesting and they maintain a low enough profile that it's possible to work there without the stigma from the general public.
