Sad Production Dude
“You worked behind the scenes of adult video? That must’ve been so much fun!” I’d usually hear something like that whenever someone found out I edited porn and used to work on set. What they don’t see are the headaches and diva attitudes I had to deal with just to make ends meet. Here are…
Editing Porn
Other than being the male talent on set, editing porn is pretty much every straight guy’s dream job. Or is it? Actually, I guess you could be gay and love editing dicks going into the buttholes of other guys, no judgment here. Anyway, I first learned about digitizing content in late 2003, with the help…
Fast Times at Ulysses S. Grant High
In two years, it’ll mark the 30th anniversary of my high school graduation. Good ol’ Class of 1998 here. I have not attended past reunions for two reasons: my weight, and I haven’t exactly lit the professional world on fire. I didn’t enter adult video until 2003, and, according to my math, that’s a whopping…
The sex car chase
It was Summer 2004, and Chico Wang was in the middle of shooting the Anabolic series Oral Consumption. He had taken over the series that featured women eating man ass, sucking dick, and getting feet shoved into their mouths. Each one of his scenes had a touch of his odd sense of humor…and today would…
Industry Losses and Reflections
If you spend enough time in any field, you’ll inevitably experience the loss of those around you. Simply put, the longer you live, the more likely it is that people in your life will pass away. I began working in this industry in late 2003, and over the years, I’ve lost touch with many colleagues…
Editing For New Owners
Billy Watson called me in late 2024 and said, “Dude, I’m selling the sites. The sites he was referring to are ManoJob, TheDickSuckers, and MrPOV. I was brought in to edit for Billy’s sites in August of 2007. Mind you, he was also shooting for Dogfart, so his plate was pretty full. I returned to…
The Shoot House Invasion–2005
It was April 2005, and Boogie Nights 4.0 was running wild; that’s the name of the home Chico Wang used as a living quarters and shoot location. I started with Chico in 2003, and his Boogie Nights 2.0 was somewhere up in the hills. Anyways, this current location near Topanga Canyon is where we shot…
Behind the Scenes
Part of my job was to ensure that any given shoot went as smoothly as possible. While there were things out of my control–talent flaking, talent unable to ‘arise’ to the occasion, location being an issue–I felt a sense of great pride in capturing content that stood out from other places. Most studios record the…
You must get laid a lot!
Not really. Well, except for all those Minion scenes, I was always the shy guy. On and off set. I wasn’t getting laid a whole lot before entering the industry in 2003. I guess my weight held me back, and my self-esteem suffered as a result. But that’s not to say I didn’t get my…
Stop doing this in Porn
I’ve been on thousands of sets and cut almost as many scenes. There have been times, as an editor, when I’ve scratched my head and wondered how some lack common sense. Or a basic understanding of civil and criminal laws. Here’s a list of things I wish pornographers would stop doing: I’m sure there’s more,…
