HDPOV.com IS the samples.
Site has not launched yet, but 90 second scenes trailers are definitely there for "consumption"

Curious, is there a reason why all those POV scenes are shot at night outside or in rooms with dark un-lit backgrounds? Just seems like an odd stylistic choice to make for every scene on the tour.

Well since that is the stylistic look of the entire site, I felt it appropriate to show proper samples of the content that users will be getting if they sign up. Literally every scene on the site will be shot with that style: ring light on the camera and one light on the side.

I get what you mean. The style does nothing for me because of how awkward it normally looks.

Well, you've answered the question quite literally so I can't fault you for that. I suppose you could even take it one step further if pressed and say that's what the specs said or that's what client wanted if that's the case, which would seem odd to me. But it still begs the question- why? Why did anyone make that choice instead of say, a mix of different lighting scenarios to feature on the tour such as a few bright daylight scenes, some indoors under daylight or mixed lighting, some at twilight, one or two in the relative dark etc. Something about the sameness of those dark scenes just seems kind of claustrophobic to me or something and not even in a moody purposefully done way. I'm not saying the sex action is bad. Just the repeated dark backgrounds look unusual to me. Just my opinion.

I agree...it's not something that "everyone" can do, or has a knack for.
As Rob said above, one of the male talents that Rob & I have shot, and another one we shoot sometimes that just came to mind, can't do it at all.

Interesting. Our friend Harmon seems to think that's worth laughing at.

Hopefully this clues him in, but somehow I kind of doubt it will.

I have to agree with you here. I'd stick to natural light any day over strobes, ring lights, etc. Looks like it was shot by a first timer with their new slr with the flash on.

Not saying it's bad, just not my style.

Strobes??? Huh? I thought we were talking about video not Stills.
Jim,, I am the one that made the decision and developed the look for the video content on the site. In fact I developed this look a few years ago for erospov.com

Like Molly Hatchett says in "Flirtin' With Disaster"...
"It ain't for everybody"...

All I know is, that it works for me and I have a TON of my own DVDs with it on VOD sites, my own websites, etc...and people like 'em!

Truthfully, POV was never my favorite style, from a viewer's point of view of course. The webmaster in me however has always known of it's marketable value. I just never got into it much personally. But I've come to realize over the years since it first became popular that when it's done by someone who knows what he's doing it can be downright incredible.

I think what likely put me off was all the really BAD pov that's been floating around since post-2000. Grainy, poor lighting, horrible camera angles, poorly executed sex even. If the chemistry is off with any of that in fact it becomes a train wreck.

Just giving overall examples. I think XArt's style is by far the best. All natural. Just my opinion though

Ya...with the sudden influx in the early 2000's of "anyone can snag a video camera @ Best Buy and do POV"...web camming from home, etc...w/o the right tools/lighting, or some sort of photo/video shooting background, it can get sloppy.
Although, I must admit, sometimes I have done that intentionally...but not usually.
And I do realize some folks do that intentionally, as well...but you can tell those instances, from people who just don't know what they are doing.

I like POV as long as you can see almost the whole girl sometimes. Too close does nothing for me.
