Q: Is the sex scripted?
A: The sex is not scripted; what you decide to to is up to you and your co-star. If you have plot ideas, let us know before your scene. Dialog is created the day of the shoot and/or improvised. Shine also lends ideas or suggestions to help encourage models, however ultimately you’re allowed freedom to have sex anyway you’d like.

Q: Will I do my own hair/makeup for the shoot?
A: Yes, there is no hair or makeup artist on set because we value each model’s individuality and trust their own style. Also, not every model wishes for hair/makeup attention. We do hire make-up artists for talent performing as characters in our feature film shoots.

Q: How long does a shoot normally take and how much of that is usable content?
A: The shoot is 2 1/2 to 3 hours maximum time on set. In this time, personal set-up (getting familiar with the space, talking to co-stars, doing make-up or situating sex toys), paperwork (signing model releases and 2257 information), snacking (food and coffee/water/juice provided), and taking character profile shots are done first, followed by sex. The sex shoot runs 30-1 hour depending on how the performers go at it. After a break, an informal Behind-the-Scenes interview is filmed (“How did it go for you?” “What was your favorite part?” “Was it what you expected?” etc). The video episode itself is typically 20-30 minutes long.

Q: How many people are normally on set?
A: On a typical shoot, there are 3 queers/women on set; 2 videographers and a photographer. The environment is relaxed and professional, and often very funny.

Q: Is proof of STD/STI testing required?
A: Safer sex practices for your scene are up to you and your co-star. We encourage models to negotiate and plan their scene based on what’s healthiest for each individual involved we prefer to let our models decide on the safest option for themselves, much like we all do in our sexual activities off-camera. Here’s more about safer sex resources.

Q: Can I see the model release form ahead of time?
A: Sure, just ask us and we’ll email you the model release; it’s a standard form.

Q: Is there anything I need to do to prepare for the shoot?
A: Staying healthy is a plus! Keep hydrated (drink plenty of water each day), eat well and maintain your regular exercise routine (please don’t starve or over-exert yourself if you feel you have to change the way you look for the camera — we are very body positive and want you just the way you are)! It should go without saying, but please don’t come to the set intoxicated OR hung-over from partying the night before. Get plenty of sleep days before your shoot and avoid sunburns or new tattoos. Other than health, you can count the days by decide on your stage name if you don’t have one already, and fantasizing about what you’ll do on set for the shoot. You can flirt with your co-star and test out any toys you want to bring.

Q: What will I wear?
A: Wear what you feel sexy in! Don’t feel pressured to be anything you’re not — whether it’s pressure to be more feminine or masculine, shaved or hairy, etc… we hope that you’ll come to the set looking like your best confident sexy self. Some people think about their clothing as what they’d wear to a club if they wanted to look really hot. Others play up a character they have in mind, like a queer college kid, or a hot mechanic. Whether you’re wearing something that makes you (or your co-star) feel on fire, or, like you’ve just slipped into something more comfortable, what you choose to wear is entirely up to you. Though it’s general best practice not to wear obvious brand names, or to wear all black or all white clothes, for lighting reasons.

Q: Will I get free access to the site?
A: Yes, every model on CrashPadSeries.com receives a life-time membership to the website. You will also be given the option to receive a special 40% affiliate rate. See our Affiliates Page for more info about this commissions-based program.

Q: How long does it take for the shoot to go live?
A: The Episode will go live anywhere from about a few weeks to a month after the shoot date. It will go up in three parts — photo, video, behind-the-scenes, so the total update spans the course of three weeks. When your character profile goes live, you’ll be given a model membership.
