Do you ever wonder what happens after you fill out that custom video request form and send it to your favourite amateur porn creator? Maybe you just imagine her lounging around in some lingerie and a full face of makeup, just waiting for your request to hit her inbox. And maybe you imagine her effortlessly filming that custom video in exactly 15 minutes and sending it to you straight away? Well, I wish things were that simple. But they’re not. So let’s take a look at what really happens behind the scenes of filming a custom video!

Step 1: preparation

Every good custom video filming process starts with preparation. We can’t just shoot a video in a messy room with poor lighting, wearing our sweatpants and call it a day. I mean, unless that’s what the custom video buyer specifically asked for. 

When the creator has read your script, she has to answer the following questions:

• What’s the location of the video? (Bathroom, bedroom, outdoors etc.)
• What outfit should be worn?
• Are any props needed? If so, which ones? (Paddle, floogger, nipple clamps, dildos etc.)
• Does she need to use your name?
• Are there any specific lines that she will need to say in the custom video?
• What angles to use?
• Does she need to buy anything specifically for that video?

Step 2: getting ready and setting up

Once the details of the video are clear, it’s time to get ready. This process can include things such as:

• shaving
• doing makeup
• doing hair
• picking and putting on the outfit
• setting up the camera and the lights
• tidying up the filming space
• manicure and/or pedicure
• picking props
• buying an outfit or a prop if needed
• coffee (optional)

You can already imagine that this process does take up quite a lot of time. In an ideal world, we would always be perfectly shaved, with our makeup and hair done, full of energy and ready to film. But the reality is often quite different. Which is one of the reasons why you have to be realistic when picking the delivery time. Don’t expect to have your custom video within 30 minutes of submitting your request, if you want to have a great final product.

Step 3: filming

Moving on to the hard part. While in some rare cases it is possible to film a custom video without any cuts or fuck ups, it is usually not the case. Filming a 15 minute video without saying a single awkward thing that just doesn’t belong there? Challenge not accepted. I simply cannot do it. And the perfectionist side of me will refilm a specific part until it looks exactly the way I want it to. 

Realistically, if you have ordered a 15 minute video, the actual raw footage will likely be no less than 20 minutes long. Sometimes it just takes multiple tries to get things right. Sometimes you have to change angles. Sometimes the flow just isn’t right which is where editing comes in.

Step 4: editing

Did you really expect to receive a raw, unedited custom video? While some creators don’t generally edit their customs, most of us do. Why? Well, editing helps to create a better flow within the video, colour correction can make everything look more aesthetically pleasing and sound editing makes all the difference. Basically, editing is what brings the custom video from good to great. Because your favourite amateur porn creator will likely want to deliver the best product possible.

 Oh, and don’t forget the fact that we still have to watermark our content! Yes, even custom videos. While you might be a good and honest customer who isn’t aiming to resell our work elsewhere, not everyone is like that. Unfortunately. 

Step 5: delivery

Honestly, there isn’t much to this step. Once everything is perfect, we just hit submit and wait for the feedback. Of course, not every fan comes back with feedback about the custom video, but we really appreciate those who do. Feedback helps us improve our content and understand better what you’d like to receive next time. So, help us help you!

FAQ about custom videos:

1. How fast can you make and deliver the custom video? This will depend from creator to creator. However, the standard delivery for customs is 3-4 weeks. Of course, some creators will offer faster delivery which usually costs more. If you don’t feel like waiting for 3-4 weeks, you can always add faster delivery before placing your order.
2. What will the video quality be like? The standard video quality is 1080p which is usually expected unless stated otherwise. Some creators do offer 4k quality, usually for an extra fee.
3. How much does a custom video cost? To start off with, each creator has a per minute rate that they charge. Usually longer videos will be a better deal because the per minute price tends to drop slightly. Next, you need to figure out if a creator simply charges a base rate for all custom videos or if yours will need some extras. For example, while someone will count the use of a butt plug as being included in the base price, someone else will charge extra for them to add a butt plug. And, as previously mentioned, price depends on delivery time and video quality, too. 
4. Is my custom video going to be exclusive to me? The real answer is – if you paid $50 for it, probably not. Creators do often resell their custom videos because there are plenty of other guys out there who have the same fetish as you. So, why leave money on the table and not resell it? If you really want to leave a custom video for your eyes only, you will have to pay the exclusivity fee. How much is it? Again, that will depend on the creator.
5. Can I get a refund if I am dissatisfied with the video? It depends. If the creator has technically done everything you asked for, the answer will probably be no. They did put in the work and do deserve to be compensated even if the video is not exactly the way you imagined it. However, if the creator has completely gone off the track and not respected your wishes, you can probably negotiate a refund. This heavily depends on what platform you are on and the creator themselves. 

Final words about custom videos

Hopefully by now you have seen how much work it really takes to create one custom video of good quality. Even if the video itself is only 15 minutes long, it can take several hours to do everything related to it from the beginning to the end. That also explains why custom videos are significantly more expensive than premade videos. You have to compensate the performer for the time and effort they put into making this specific video according to your wishes.
