I used to date a girl who did amateur stuff in Montreal and she mentioned most shoots were super low budget, often just in apartments with a couple lights and a basic camera setup.
Its no surprise... I mean even US shoots have gone downhill in quality. I am a fan of the old Vivid/Wicked girls and sometimes i watch classic porn and its crazy how they were going overboard to make it appear "special". Now sure there is some of this stuff still done in modern porn sometimes, but considering Brazzers and co release so much scenes so often a lot are very simple in some house living room, bedroom or bathroom (or a fake class that has like 4 students lol).
In Montreal it seem the "good porn" is all on OF. I used to look at Pegas and AD4 every 2-3 weeks to see if a new girl appeared that i am interested to but i kinda stopped as for a while i had zero interest in the girls they propose and while the production quality seem "decent", at least for Pegas, too often the direction is lackluster to me. And it seem the good OF girls have no desire to shoot for them and keep it 100% their OF. Either Pegas etc can't afford them or they just do not want to work for a "mainstream company".
As for OF i seen various degree of production quality ... often its filmed with a basic camera (like a good Iphone or such) and its lighten up "decently" but thats about it. Do not expect anything crazy. But well even Keiran Lee on OF is all the same, like a camera in a bedroom and thats it. He does have better direction tough in general.
Ultimately with OF i am even surprise the websites in Quebec keep existing... They don't really offer a lot. Yes you may get 3-4 scenes for a month of sub (and OF its usually 1 scene for that price) but you never know who is gonna shoot for them and like i said 9/10 i have zero interest for them myself...
