The range of what studios pay is all over the map. I know of one studio that pays $75 for a solo and has no problem finding models. I know of another one that pays between $1200 and $2000 for a solo. As for BDSM content, I know of more than one studio that shoots it, ranging from light to aggressive, with pay ranges between $150-250 per scene. I know other studios that pay more.

I am not defending Hyde Park by any means, but they are a smaller studio that does not sell thousands of units per title, and sells most of their units at a pretty low price, so it is unlikely their budget would support the kind of numbers you're quoting.

It's this sort of irresponsibility that causes problems. Kyle's pay may have been on the low end of the spectrum, but it is well within the range of what studios of that size pay their models. If Kyle works with a larger studio with bigger distribution, they may offer him more money, but it's wrong to make blanket statements when you don't have the information to back it up, and it's disruptive to the industry to create false expectations about what "the going rate" is.
Chip I know more than YOU think!
People Talk and they talk to me you think YOU know who I am?
You don't, my persona in this world is just 2 years old I have been around Chip I have been around. You would be surprised who I have talked to.
I have LIVED in San Diego my whole adult life!

Dont tell me about BDSM afield and fetish I KNOW!
I know players in it and EVERY BDS&M site on the web. The best players I have steered models to.

Do you think if a model Asks me about Hyde Park I'll recommend them?
And they are NOT producing BDS&M in any event just posing!

Chip I know more about pay scales in this buisness and I agree you will pay what you can get away with all producers are this way Unless your Sean Cody or Corbin Fisher or Titan Raging Stallion. Who Can Afford to pay the Best!

250 dollars a scene is Lativan wages! thats a fact I know bottom feeders who pay 650-750! I have sent models TOO THEM so I know they were paid that rate!

Rufus Ffoulkes paid MORE than Hyde Park!

And where is the irresponsibility on my part?
Models need to know what they can expect to be paid or is this a Trade Secret?

In what world do you tell your models oh I can't tell you what you will make?

They are not ALL Stupid as independent contractors they know they have value they know what they can get at an A studio. If someone can't pay a fair rate should they be in buisness?

And what is a fair rate?

You just posted figures wider than the 750-1500 I stated. I am well aware rates go above that and below I was aiming for the middle.

What I stated is not out of line on pay either and THAT can and has been backed up! I saw the checks I know what the model was paid!

To say otherwise is to call Me a liar.

Believe me Chip I am not being "Disruptive to an Industry" here but it sounds like you want to sweep Hyde Park under the rug and in the closet with the rest of the dirty laundry.

How does this help the good people in the biz?
