The people impressed with image quality are not usually the guys with a credit card in one hand and their dick in the other one.  |
Paul, I don't know what kind of skin problems the girls you hire may have. Maybe you are casting for models at leper colonies, he he. But I have never seen any serious flaws in the skin of my models that would make them unattractive and I film a lot of girls every month. As long as the model isn't some skank that has serious cellulite or other obvious issues and you have nice lighting and a decent makeup artist I think the models and especially the overall image of the video will always look better not worse in HD than SD. Filming in some flavor of HDV or HD is just a matter of routine now for many porn producers, and you really sound like a Luddite arguing against HD porn. That's not to say one couldn't film a hot scene in SD nowadays, but I would argue that it wouldn't look as good as the same exact scene in higher resolution.
