Brandy says:
One of the reasons movies are so bad, in my opinion, is that there
is not one person who sees the project through from beginning to
end. The writer is never involved in the shoot and neither is the
editor. And the director rarely participates in editing, he just
delivers the camera masters. So it's up to the editor to know who
is who or just throw up the names.
S. Andrew concurs by saying:
That's pretty close to the truth.
I'd like to think I'm a rare breed of editor who not only likes to
research what the accurate stage names are but also try to place
both the name and the performer's image on the screen at the same
time so that new actresses are correctly identified. I also enjoy
creating a title sequence to run the opening credits over. I feel
it lends a movie much more production value than just running
credits over a colored background.
Recently, the movies that have openings I'm most proud of are:
Brooklyn Nights, Odyssey Group
Guess Again, Fantastic Pictures
The Ultimate Squirting Machine, Fantastic Pictures
Tim says that putting faces to names in opening or closing credits
is a fairly common occurrence in gay porn. Although a trend among
some low-budget studios and producers has been to stop doing this,
for the most part gay porn films routinely contain such credits.
