Video Masturbation shoot days can seem a little chaotic – there’s a lot of shoots happening, several models, lots of paperwork, clothes, mics, lighting, cameras, cables and props to manage, so your Shoot Producer will be quite busy making sure the technical requirements are met, while making sure everyone is comfortable and happy.
You can help a lot by keeping the space neat and clean – putting your rubbish in the bin, cleaning up after yourself after making a cup of tea, keeping your personal items in one area, packing up your stuff as soon as it’s done with; that kind of thing. Your Shoot Producer will probably appreciate a hand to carry the gear to their car or down the stairs at the end of the day, too!
It’s great if you help capture some Backstage images (both taking them, and appearing in them) with all the other models on set that day.
When you arrive 🚆
On the morning of the shoot day when you arrive, you’ll participate in a Grooming check (same as for your Solo shoot). Before each shoot (typically three) you’ll need to complete a set of Homonoia paperwork for each of the shoots and a “Before” handwritten bio, and the wrap up stuff afterwards, again the same as for your Solo shoot (including the “After” handwritten bio, but one for each of the Video Masturbation shoots you make).
Before each shoot, you’ll work with the Shoot Producer to select clothes to wear – just the same as for a Solo shoot.
There’ll likely be a break between each shoot you make, while the Shoot Producer sets up a new scene (perhaps in a different room, perhaps for a Double shoot for someone else). In the down time, you can work on your handwritten bios, chat with the other models (quietly, if another shoot is being recorded!), or go outside for a short walk – but be sure to let your Shoot Producer know, and be back by the agreed time so the next shoot can start without delay.
Bringing a book or similar is a good idea for the downtime – or just your phone, so long as it’s muted.
But when nobody is making a Video Masturbation shoot, it’s a lot more social and fun. There’ll be some group Backstage pics too, and you’re welcome to make some Backstage selfies as well.
