It wasn't long after finishing film school that I began to regret my decision. Finding work in the film realm was damn near impossible. In the three months after graduating, I wasn't able to land a single gig. It was in a moment of great desperation that I came across an ad that caught my eye. A boom mic operator was needed for an "erotic film". Now working a boom mic wasn't exactly my ideal job, nor did I ever envision myself working on an "erotic film", but I needed the cash. I called the agency, and they told me the position was mine for the taking. The man I spoke to also made it clear that it wasn't a porno flick, but rather a softcore film that would be airing on Cinemax.
The day work began, I wasn't quite sure what to expect. I'd grown up watching "skinemax" films as we used to call them, and I'd always been curious how exactly they worked. Before shooting began, I had a talk with a cameraman named Dan. He was very open to answering all my questions. He admitted that when he first started making skin flicks the action would turn him on, but after working in the industry for years, the scenes had ceased to be arousing to him. He also made a point of telling me that professionalism was expected on the set.
For that first day, we were only scheduled to shoot two sex scenes. One was just a solo scene of a woman pleasuring herself, and the other was a girl on girl scene. Neither of these scenarios had ever been personal preferences of mine when watching porn, but the moment I saw the actress emerge out of her dressing room to film the solo scene, I suddenly felt like I'd stumbled upon a great job.
I was told the actress' name was Candace, and that she was known to be a wild performer. The first thing that struck me about her was her height. She looked to be the same height as me at six feet. I was also struck by the fact she was black. I couldn't recall having ever seen a woman of color in a skinemax film before. Her face was very pretty and she wore a long weave of straight hair that was falling over her shoulders. Right off the bat I assumed she had a great body, but I couldn't quite tell because she was wearing a robe that hid her figure.
While we in the crew made some final adjustments, Candace spent some time chatting with the director. She was laughing frequently, and appeared very down to earth. When the director was finally done chatting with her, he let us all know it was time to begin filming. Even though I literally didn't have to do a thing but hold a boom mic over the bed Candace would be masturbating on, I was still nervous as hell that I would screw things up.
It was hard enough to concentrate on the task at hand when Candace had her robe on, but the moment it hit the floor it was impossible for me to focus my attention anywhere else other than her body. The only thing she had on underneath that robe were black fishnet stockings that perfectly accentuated her long, slender legs. Where her legs met was a sexy patch of black hair. I almost got hard just knowing I would see what was underneath that patch once we began filming. But I didn't have to wait to see her glorious breasts. They must've been at least a C-cup, maybe even larger, and were extraordinarily round for natural ones. Her nipples were perfect two, no larger than the size of a quarter, well placed right in the middle of her tits, and very dark brown.
Before the scene actually began, some lucky son of a bitch oiled up her entire body. She laughed as the man went to work, making her smooth brown skin glisten. "If I were y'all," she said addressing all of us, "I'd be goin' for this job."
After getting oiled up, Candace took a seat on the bed and the director told us to take our positions. "So lemme see what I'm workin' with," Candace said as she propped herself up against some pillows and spread her legs.
The costume designer then appeared with a large, blue dildo. It looked like it must've been at least ten inches. Candace ran her fingers around it, fondling it sensually. "Ooh," she exclaimed. "This'll do. This is a big ole dick."
The scene didn't begin with her using the dildo, but rather it was just her fingering herself as she sat up on the bed with her eyes closed. From what I saw of the script, the scene was supposed to be inter-spliced with some flashback scene where she was getting fucked by two guys. We shot four or five takes without bringing the dildo in, but the director wasn't satisfied. "You need to really get into it," he said to Candace. "Fantasize about the best sex you ever had. Talk dirty, if that helps. We're going to shoot one long continuous scene this time. I want you to start by doing what you've been doing, then after a minute or so, switch to the dildo. Be creative, and have fun with it. Use it in whatever position you'd like. Let us worry about the angles."
So we started shooting the scene again, and Candace was really selling it. Her pussy had gotten visibly wet, and even her black pubes and inner thighs were glistening from the moisture. Her moaning even sounded completely genuine. Doing like she was told, after a minute of pleasuring herself with her fingers, she reached behind the pillow and pulled out the dildo. Remaining in the same position with her back up against the head rest and her legs spread wide, she rubbed the head over her clit, and eventually inserted it.
At first she slid it back and forth nice and slowly with her right hand as she sucked the two fingers on her other one. After about a minute of that she removed her fingers from her mouth and rubbed her clit while rapidly fucking herself with the big blue dildo. "That's it! That's it!" the director said enthused. "Show me how horny you are."
"Umm," she moaned. "I'm so wet, baby. I'm so horny," she replied.
She mixed up the pace between rapidly thrusting the dildo into her tightness, and shoving it slowly and tenderly as she continued moaning. "We're gonna keep the cameras rolling, but change it up," the director said, implying that she should change positions.
