Couldn't I pay a girl to shoot a sexy adult rated video with me? That seems to be legal. As long as I had her sign the appropriate contract stating she was of legal age and it conformed to the laws in my state for adult video production, couldn't that work?

Either by statute or precedent or authority, it is prohibited or severely regulated everywhere else in the area.
This issue has been raised time and time over, and it has been litigated in both Kansas and Missouri. Even if the production was for private consumption only and not intended for resale or distribution, on either side of the state line, specifically, it is prosecutable (and it will be prosecuted - and you'll lose) if ANY of the parties involved in the production are paid . . . And, as other members here can attest from following previous cases (for instance, Dirty Dog, who is intimately aware of the legal aspects of adult entertainment locally), they'll stack charges on you until you're facing a serious felony, and then after they are done with you on a local and state level, they'll refer it to the US Attorney and they'll take a whack at you also on 2257 or the Mann Act or RICO, or whatever they can pull out of their hat and indict you for . . .
