Seems like a few hundred is easier to make just being a woodsman in a porno. Plus you get sex and STDs.

How much does a bukkake scene pay? (not for the target - for the load blower)
In middle school, many busloads of us were shipped to a downtown L.A.sports area. They called it a field trip. They put us in the stands and filmed one of the Rocky movies. I'm sure LAUSD made some serious bucks off us yelling and creating chaos for 8 hours. They paid us in a few Mcdonald's happy meals.
It got really boring quickly.

I was once a child model for a saw-chain (the cutting part for a chainsaw) manufacturing company in Oregon when I was around 9.
The photoshoot was for an ad that had me pointing to a saw-chain sharpening file/mechanism while the chainsaw was was sitting on a freshly sawed tree trunk, except that it was just the bar and chain and no "chainsaw". I kept asking why there was just a chain on the bar....the photographer said something about image cropping and focusing on the important part, but it still made little sense to me.
My modelling career did not take off and I have no idea if any proofs remain or if dear old dad still has a copy of the ad around somewhere, and yeah, I made nothing for that shoot since it was the company that my dad worked for that made the saw-chain (and bar) and the photographer was a friend of the family. (After the shoot, we went over to the photographer's home in Newberg for dinner. Oh, and years later, the photographer's eldest daughter was in a few punk rock bands in Portland and Seattle of local fame....she and I still keep in a touch for important things like funerals and, um, hmmm, ok, just funerals.)
PS
I may show up in a few movies here and there as non-paid scenery for any number of 1/2 seconds, so yeah, not really.
PPS
for erBB and report back!

movie/extra work is a big deal in my part of the world coz lots of stuff get made here in the home of the biggest sound stage outside of Hollywood (think Iron Man 3, Florida Man, One Tree Hill, The Black Phone, Boys Of Summer, We're The Millers, Providence , Breakwater etc etc etc). i know lots of people who do it and they don't do it for the money. My kid hung in there for years, worked his way from extra to PA to grip and just got his IATSE card.
yeah, the pay blows - like $8 per hour with time and a half over 8 hours. like i said, most people don't do it for the money.Well that answers the “will there be snacks” question
Depends on # of people. There's typically a flat "load blowing" rate. Standard is around $300. But divide that by the number of blokes it can certain cut down on individual profits.
This guy does this for a living. And by the look of his face on this pic he was probably just selected to be an extra in a porn movie.
