Glossary · production

studio-tier

Production at the scale where shoots are crewed (director, DP, on-set sound, post-production, scripting) and performers are paid a fixed per-scene rate. Distinct from creator-platform production (typically solo or self-operated) and from major-feature production (rare in contemporary adult content).
