Today we have the next installment in our raw interviews with the video category judges for the SX Magazine Awards. This is our third judge to profile, with only two left after this. Please enjoy reading the full interview with did with Raelin Jestyr, that we used to write the original article presented in our August issue of SX. This was the first interview I ever did, so I look back on it with a bit of nostalgia :). I hope you enjoy it!

In Raelin's words
Raelin Jestyr started in the SL Porn Business about three years ago after a few years of being exclusively being an immersed in a variety of roleplaying sims. However shortly after starring in a few films, she made film of her own on a whim, just to prove to herself she could do it. After that the creative bug bit her. Founding Rabid Jestyr Productions and RJ Studios, Raelin has written/directed/produced several porn Films and and has branched out into photography. There are several new projects on the horizon for Raelin, but the one closes to her heart is passing on the joy of film making.
I got started in movies...
Raelin: By accident. I had stumbled into an RP that involved a sleazy porn director who turned out to really be a porn director.
I enjoy being a producer/actor/actress because...
Raelin: It's fun and creative and something to do!
You are passing on your joy of film making by....
Raelin: I have been taking on a bit of mentorship of some budding film makers. I have done a few quickie get started tutorials, and one fairly in-depth training session. haha i have toyed with idea of starting a little film makers 101 seminar. I think film making is actually extremely easy and if more people were able to get a little guidance it would bring alot more films into the Porn industry here.
I draw inspiration from...
Raelin: All over. Songs, people, jokes, tv.. it can come from anywhere really. I generally get a little kernel of an idea and kick it around for a while. some turn into something and some just get put away for later.
The best way to deliver the story in a movie is...
Raelin: I'm not a fan of subtitles but i have used them. There are definitely alot of limitations to SL Movies, so any method to get your story line across is a good method.
The optimal length for a movie is...
Raelin: 10 minutes or under.. People got things to do!
Full in-world scenery or green screen?
Raelin: Full world scenery. Its almost more important than the characters in any movie.
Producing a movie involves...
Raelin: 10% skill with editing, 90% creativity. The choices you make as you are filming can only be helped so much with creative editing. All the hard work comes before
A successful actress/actor is...
Raelin: Patient and flexible and shows up.
I would work with an actor/actress again because...
Raelin: Personality. I have built projects around people just because they were fun or inspiring before. Other times I work with people based on how reliable they are or how they photograph. But if someone is hard to work with, it makes me think twice about worth with them again
A new actor/actress can most benefit from...
Raelin: Visibility. See and be seen. You are your best billboard, so make sure you get out there where it can be seen. Take any and all castings, go to parties, whatever it takes to put yourself out there.
A new producer can most benefit from...
Raelin: Trying new blood. Sometimes people, including myself get stuck a comfort zone, and you can find yourself using the same people over and over. One little casting change can sometimes make the difference between an ok project and a WOW project. There are a lot of uniques look out there!
