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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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,…
There’s something an editor can always notice when cutting a scene: talent. I’ve mentally blocked out scenes where the female performer looks as if she’d rather be anywhere but set. A bake sale. The line at her local DMV. Anywhere. Those ladies typically don’t last long, and even the most hardcore of porn fans won’t…
The job of male talent can be a tricky one. Can he get hard on command? Can he ejaculate when needed? Can he show up sober, ready to work, and not creep out the female talent? One would be surprised how that last part can be an overwhelming task for many in the business. Chico…
