How does one go about producing videos?

From personal experience, I'd pitch your ideas to established genre producers first. Some may be willing but more than likely they'll require you to purchase a custom to make your fantasies 100% come thru. However, it's doubtful it'll ever live up to your imagination.

I've written several scripts for a bunch of genre producers and have gotten more than a few of them made, but they rarely, if ever, come out like I totally envision them. But that's what happens when someone else tries to interpret your visiion, at least in my experience. Still, it's more often been a fun and creative experience for me. PM or email me if you want anymore specifics or have any questions. I'm hardly an expert but I'm happy to share my experiences.

what you need to produce a movie is a few things.

The idea is the main thing that you need - you have that.

You need gear, some you can hire, some you can buy, the three items that you should own are the camera, it's the most important thing that you will own, a Tripod is also a important bit of kit to own, also a audio recorder, built in mics on most cameras are pants, and the audio codec's used in cameras is also poor, a good external audio recorder that records in wav format will give you plenty of scope to edit.

Editing software is very very powerful now a days, Premiere Pro is brilliant but the learning curve is quite steep with it, you can achieve just as good results with free software

Next you need is actors, they come in all shapes and sizes they can cost a fortune but can come in very cheaply, look at your local uni's and colleges you will be able to get some amateurs for
next to nothing, some will want to do it for fun, others for experience and some more just do it for the cash.

This next bit is the hardest to get, that is permission, not knowing where in the world you are shooting outdoors can require a permit to shoot, you will need to find out what is needed and how much, because it's a not for profile endeavour you should be able to get away with not having to get one but it's always better to check before you go out and shoot.

enchantederotica idea about doing some test shots is a good one, it's better to make mistakes when testing stuff rather than making mistakes in the final item.

if you can provide more info and a idea of budget, i can let you know what gear would suit you, i've done this a hundreds of times.

I have a few kinks that I'm afraid might sound weird or creepy if I say them out loud. Nothing too raunchy. Like if I want an actress to show up to the set wearing summer clothes and barefoot, would that sound weird?

I think it's a little easier now that our genre is more mainstream these days. I would agree with Markiehoe about being upfront .....and PROFESSIONAL! Explain what you are doing and what your vision is and you might be surprised. Some females wil do it for the pay check only, but it is surprisingly refreshing when they welcome the role.
