Would you buy a XXX movie that had both sex and skydiving in it as well as a funny story?

How about a couple of old ladies... leering at the young hot guys:D



I'm afraid that leering just isn't enough for me. :D:D

You hit the nail on the head Lisa Marie: the stories are lame and the acting is usually bad. That is the exact reason why we are not shooting this like a "regular" porn movie.

I have to disagree with you on what brings people to the sport. While I agree that events like JFTC bring attention to the sport (not to mention support a wonderful cause), I think that often times, it is the visual that stirs something in one's soul. When my husband and I go to work on an adult film set (behind or in front of the camera), we always bring some of our most recent videos. In the past few months alone, we have brought a bunch of tandems and 3 AFFs to our small DZ. These individuals got interested from watching our footage.

You say that "people talking about our passion" brings people in. Well, despite how I feel about it, I do have fans, many of whom have followed my career since 1999. A large majority of these fans will buy any new movie I am involved in. While the average skydiver may come into contact with x amount of different people in a day, I can reach a significantly larger number. I have fans who never even thought of skydiving before, who email me after reading an interview I did, and decided to go do a tandem. They thank me for the experience when all I did was mention a love of mine in an interview.

You mention the disgrace of the sexual aspect of skydiving. I am sorry that you have had experiences that have led you to feel this way. I personally have not, despite the fact that people know what I do for a living, something that could easily make me a target for harrassment.

My personal view of sex is that it should be empowering to women. The sex in our movie will be both female motivated and dominated.

While I realize that I am not going to change your mind, and you are absolutely entitled to whatever personal opinion you have, I will ask you one favor. Because you are a skeptic, I would love to get your opinion of the finished product. When the movie is complete, may I send you a copy in order to find out if it changes your opinion at all?

I haven't seen any of your films, but if you're talking about something like Candida Royale's films, they have some humor, decent acting,plot, and a view of sexuality that makes me feel happy about being human & not like I need a shower just from watching. I'm just old enough to have enjoyed some of the better porn of the seventies and eighties and have been generally turned off by the depressing ugliness of most contemporary porn.

If you can make something with some great visual sex and a better jumping story than "Dropzone" or "Terminal Velocity", I'd love to see it.

"Porn makes more money than mainstream Hollywood."

That quote seems to be in everyone's head. Unfortunately 95% of that money is made by the big guys (Vivid, Wicked, Digital Playground). The small guys are lucky to make $10,000 over cost on a movie after one year of sales and resales.

If my movie makes even $15,000 over cost but brings 30 people out to do tandems and 20 people to complete AFF, skydiving has already made more money than me.

But, as I mentioned in my earlier post...this isn't about the money. Our only goal is to recoup our loss and make enough money to make the next one. For us, this is about the creative process.

I don't want to make more money than the big guys, I just want to put out a better movie.

That is exactly what we intend to do!:)

P.S. I agree with you 100% about today's porn. Much of it seems to be about shock value, or how many things can we fit in a hole, or how far can we push this girl before she breaks.

To me thats really sad. I've seen some good porn and bad. I hate that some of the movies out there really are for "shock" value. I also think you and your husbands idea for a video is great!

Id view it, just pm me and Ill keep an open mind. I personally can not see it bringing people to the sport but if you have fun doing it (no pun intended lol) then go for it. I just think the skydiving porn movie has been made ten times over

That is an interesting comment***

You asked, but your poll didn't have but two no choices, I gave MHO.

Have you ever watched an adult film?
Quote



Yes a number of times.

Was it gonzo style (all sex) or did it have a plot and a story?
Quote



Both kinds

If the latter is the case, did it hold your attention (i.e. did you watch it from start to finish or did you just "finish" and then turn the movie off?)
Quote



No the bad acting and lame story lines get fast forward or now with DVD you can cut to the sex scene
and skip the crap.
Even the wife don't like that crap.

Now, if we can take that entertainment value and add the one thing to it that everyone does and enjoys, I don't see how that is a bad thing.
Quote



Again someone try to find a way to make a buck off of skydivers by putting skydiving in to a porn movie then posting an "advertisement" disguised as a poll.
In other words getting the word out your going to make this film, like your not hoping jumpers will be keeping an eye out for it or going to your web site and your looking for actors as well in your poll.
ADVERTISEMENT! not a poll IMHO.

***Yes, we want to combine two of the things that we love to do and make sure that not only the most perverted skydiver could enjoy it, but also your average married couple from middle America.



Again trying to make money off your love for the porn and your love for the sport.
Sorry but sounds to me you both were sitting around trying to think up a new story line angle and came up with marketing to skydivers as well as regular porn shoppers.
Only skydivers would sit thur the jumping scenes, my wife and I wouldn't, we would even think of renting or buying anything with jumping on the cover of the box we both think it is LAME.
Married couples from middle america will hit the FF 8 times out of 10 to get to the fuck'n & suck'n.
IMHO

Quote

And, if our movie gets a few more people in this country interested in jumping out of a perfectly good airplane***


The number of people who will sit thur the film the whole way to even see the jumping is quite small and out of that number how many do you really think are going to pick up the phone and call the local DZ. Not many!


, I will feel that I have made a contribution to the sport and community that has welcomed me with open arms.
Quote



While I'm glad you have found this sport to welcome you with open arms, I think you are adding to bad image most people see us as, by doing this and joining the same club as the others who have already done this. IMHO


Seems to me like that would put money back into the sport...in other words more skydivng dollars.


If sex and skydiving sells so well why not go open you a nudist camp dz with all the money you make then you can give back and have all the naked skydiving wuffo's and skydivers you want and a lot of free actors as well.;):P

I don't really care if you make your movie and sell it, but my wife and I wouldn't buy it or rent it, we don't care to suport people who would try to cash in on the sport in this way, I'll buy a Mike McGowin or Norm Kent film if I want to see a good skydiving film.
If my wife and I want good porn we'll fast forward to the good shit and skip the lame acting and bad story lines no matter who made the film
JMHO's

I agree with Strato.
I doubt that many of the people who are not skydivers will watch the ff scenes and will only skip to the sex scene. Fact is that 99.9% of porn is lousy acting (if you can even call it that). 99.99999% of porn actors(?) could never make it in the legit entertianment industry. You seen one fuck film, you have seen them all. Waste of good jump money.
I would hate to see skydiving being related to porn.
Not a good image.

I would watch it, but then again I watch anything with skydiving in it. Thats why I have in my collection Drop Zone, Point Break, Terminal Velocity and so on.

As for participation, as others have said, If you need someone that cant skydive that well and is hung like a gerbil then im down. Hey at least Im mildly good looking...............well better looking than Ron Jeremy at least;)

Nothing is being offered for sale. This is little different than someone asking "Should we do some Dublin Boogie T-shirts?" That's fine. "Buy your Dublin Boogie T-shirts here" isn't OK.

>Again trying to make money off your love for the porn and your love for the sport.

I spent three years making money off skydiving. Hundreds of others instructors do just that. Many people make money off a combination of their love of skydiving and photography. Not a new thing at all.

Why would you support people who cash in on the sport in that way?

Because it's about the sport, not attached to the sport, or should I say using the sport.

I sell my skydiving photos too, to people in the photos, I guess I should start using photo shop to add in some fuck scenes in the back ground of those shots so I can make more money by selling them to big-jugs mag.:P

While I understand that others may not agree with my point of view, that is fine, I still wouldn't buy or rent this kind of crap, I see it as using the sport, others don't, no big deal.

Do you buy skydiving clothing? Do you wear boogie shirts? Clothing has nothing to do with skydiving yet people put all of these skydiving pictures and things on them and sell them for $25 bucks. Are they cashing in on our sport? Yes. How is this different?

I'm just curious where your line is. Personally I don't think I'd buy this video. I'd just RENT it! :ph34r:

I think it's a fun idea, especially if it's made well. Hell, it's better for our sport than the drunken boogie videos where skydivers are making asses of themselves and smashing bottles on their heads.

I'm trying to understand your point of view. Scotty Carbone sells food to skydivers at alot of boogie's in the southeast. That's not about the sport, it's attached to it. I don't know anybody who has a problem with him doing that; actually I think he's more welcomed with open arms, than anything.

What about selling skydiving DVD's to the many people that aren't in them?

How about some of the ads in Parachutist that have hot chicks marketing some product? I don't remember what the product is right now, but I remember one of the girls was pretty good looking.

If the movie is entertaining, hell, I'll buy it, sex or no sex. No, this movie probably won't win any Oscars (maybe an Adult Video award?), but I'm not going to be so closed minded to say I won't buy it before the script is even written...

If there are people I know in it as extras, then I'll definitely be inclined to buy it, just for that fact!

I can see me now, 'hot girl orders pizza' scene:

[Jeff] - (doorbell ring) "hi ma'am, I have your large meat lovers pizza; that'll be $14.99."

[Nicole] - (looking through purse) "oh no, I can't find my wallet."

[Jeff] - (looking her up and down) well... maybe we can work out some other kind of payment.

[Nicole] - (stepping closer, biting lip and looking seductively at Jeff)

(fade in porn music)
:D:D

Seriously though, not trying to flame you - just trying to understand your point of view.

Skydivers drink, that is a fact. Skydivers have sex, this is also a fact. Skydivers as a collective do not do anything any different that the rest of the population - except that we jump out of planes for fun. So many people out there drink, have sex, and watch porn, but it is ok for them to do those things. When skydivers do it, well, shame on us!

Make your film, Nichole. I would make it a point to buy it and enjoy it. Put some hot women in sexy lingere and have them do a 4-way, not just one on the ground, either. Maybe that can be your plot. A 4-way team of hot, lingere wearing women who are strippers turn competetive skydivers!!! They work at strip clube to pay for their skydiving habbit.

BUt you need romance, too. A female tandem master/instructor gets hot for her tandem student, and to keep seeing her he goes through AFF.

People will watch your movie(and I believe that most, if not all will enjoy it), they may still think skydivers are drunk, fornicating misfits. So what? They do the same things we do, they are just ashamed of themselves and scapegoat skydivers to feel better about themselves........

At least we have the intestinal fortitude to do what we do for fun.........
