Now that youāve decided to take the plunge, itās time to make your first gay porn video. This isnāt about trying to look like a big-budget studioāitās about capturing something real, hot, and authentic.
Donāt stress about being perfect. The biggest amateur stars didnāt start with pro gearāthey started with confidence, good lighting, and raw desire.
You donāt need to break the bank. Start with what you have, and upgrade later.
Bare Minimum Setup:
Smartphone with 1080p video (clean the lens!)
Tripod or stable surface to place your smartphone
Ring light or soft lamp
Upgrade Path:
2-point lighting setup
Editing software (CapCut, iMovie, DaVinci Resolve)
Your room doesnāt need to be fancyābut it should be clean and inviting.
- Move clutter out of frame
- Use warm lighting (not harsh overhead bulbs)
- Fully charged phone or camera
- Lube/towel on hand
- Model release signed (if needed)
š§½ Your space is part of the fantasy. Treat it like your set.
Editing isnāt requiredābut a little can go a long way:
- Trim boring starts and endings
- Add your watermark or name
- Cut in close-ups for extra heat
- Donāt overdo filters or color corrections
Apps to try:
CapCut (free + mobile-friendly)
iMovie (Mac/iOS)
DaVinci Resolve (pro-level, free version)
Before you post anything:
- Be sure youāre over 18 and can prove it
- Get written consent from your collab partner(s)
- Make sure no copyrighted music is in the background
Double-check that nothing private (like photos, IDs, or mail) is visible in frame
š Filming in the dark or with only a ceiling light
š Shooting vertical when platforms want horizontal
š Ignoring audioābad sound ruins the mood
āļø Posting without model release if someone else is in the video
In the next step, youāll create your name, brand, and online presence so fans actually remember (and follow) you. Whether you want to be known for bareback, domination, muscle worship, or something totally nicheāweāll help you make it sell.
