    Question about 4K videos

    Hello, I'm content producer and several of my clients and some newest who are contacted with me recently, are asking me about do the shoots with the fucking 4K.

    My question is, really there are so many users having screens on their computers or laptops that fully capture this format? and besides today that everybody is looking porn from their mobile devices??

    except NaughtyAmerica who frequently update with 4K videos, other big brands do not. (Bangbros, Brazzers and all Mingueek sites, etc...)

    and they are precisely average companies who are asking their producers for do the scenes in 4K. Why?

    if I or some of my cameramans invest in a good 4K camera we need to shoot a whole year to amortize the video camera, or at least try to do about 30-40 shoots and make not less than 300 euros of profit per shoot.

    and then maybe the 5K format appear and they ask me for do the shoots in 5K camera LOL

        Well charge them more for the 4K shoot. Tell them it's on a scale: SD, HD, UHD.

        Good luck!

            Offering the best resolution for their product has always been the norm. 4K will soon be the new standard and you'll have to adapt to keep customers happy.

              This is the answer!

              Shoot at the bleeding edge because the content can always be rendered down to any format you wish. You can always do that but you can NOT increase.

              You need to start with the most data possible.

              Years from now the 4K will still be usable where as the standard def and even HD will be antiquated.

                  Of course I know, and companies should know that If I have to shoot in 4K I have to charge some plus of 100-150? compared to previous budgets, otherwise I have to be a lot of time working just to pay the camera, and if I hire any cameraman who has bought the camera also he will want a plus of 100? at least.

                      just I'm curious about how many users right now really are able to watch porn in 4K...

                      in recent months I have received requests to produce contents from several companies because they like my work and are interested in some new spanish faces, but fuck, they ask me to shoot in 4K, and they are small companies even newcomers...

                      I'm based in Barcelona and in this place there are several well-known brands producing, like Teamskeet, Bangbros, Mofos, Brazzers, Evil Angel, Sex-art, etc, etc... and my workmates (cameramans, photographers, etc.) are working for all them and don't shoot in 4K, so don't have this kind of camera. Really so important?

                      also big european studios like DDF, 21sextury, Legalporno, etc... don't shoot in 4K, but hey! the crappy Woodman scenes in cheap rooms yes, are shooted in 4K and likes to brag about it!

                      By that I mean that right now (I think), it's more a brand strategy than a real need for users, and small companies (and some big like Naughtyamerica) are intended to highlight on the rest announcing their videos in 4K when very few users actually have their screens adapted to this format.

                      let's be honest, the users in a very high percentage want to enjoy porn from the privacy of their mobiles or laptops and the current resolution is more than enough for their masturbations.

                        Very true indeed. We have 4k content on some of our high end sites. Does nothing for sales whatsoever.

                        What's the going rate in Barcelona for a b/g shoot these days? Cheaper than CZ?

                            I'm shooting everything in 4K and I don't charge any more for it than 1080P. Cost of doing business.
                            You also have to spend a few Gs on a new editing machine. BTW

                                  I'm looking into buying a new laptop once windows 10 comes out. one feature that it absolutely has to have is a 4k touch screen. I have seen that 4k is becoming pretty norm as far as laptops. I'm guessing it won't be long before most people have 4K.
                                  I'm looking into purchasing a 4k camera for new shoots and all of my new sites will offer 4k, I doubt it will be 100 mbs/sec after render.

                                    So I'm right, users value the content, not if it's in 4K...

                                    Always it was cheaper than Cz, especially when shooting with new girls, but now there really are some very good girls and we are paying them the same european standard rates, the good thing is that here we don't pay agency fees because we do the agreements directly with girls. When I come to Cz or Hungary or bring girls from other countries to Barcelona it's better do it with agent of course.

                                      Pushing the 4k angle does make a difference if done right

                                      I agree that most don't have the tools to watch it properly though but that's a matter of time imo.

                                        4k is the future , but as you just said , you should charge more for your content , otherwise you're just amortizing your camera...a good 4k cost a lot , but i think it is a good investment

                                            I remember years ago 3D also had to be the future and some companies shoot in this format but it really did not work, and the reality is that it keeps shooting as usual. So I prefer to be cautious and looking what are doing big companies like Bangbros, Brazzers ... and now they are not updating and shooting 4K...

                                              4K is here to stay. For what its worth, and I'm not trying to 'Brag' I have a 4K UHD TV already. Admittedly theres not much content yet, and I'm hardly likely to watch porn on it - Yet I still have it simply cause, to me, its '*future proofing'

                                              *= Yes I know the future proofing of a current 4K TV is debatable (Formats etc) but the point is I still have one - & if I have one - Many others must too...

                                                  The camera costs are down pretty low (Lumix FZ1000 for $900) so why wouldn't you future proof your shoot? Also gives you the option of good quality 8 MP screen grabs. Only real downside is the larger files as you can always just render down to HD. Plus, HD from 4K tends to look very good.

                                                    The thing I HATE about 4k is the extreme aspect ratio, or black lines. Often you will see a close-up of a girl's head on the extreme left of the frame then acres of negative space to the right (like the wallpaper or something). It's a problem with 16.9 anyway but just seems more annoying in 4k. I hate it when the shooter has to tilt his camera to get a full body shot. LOL Often you can only get someone's eyes in a close-up, etc etc. Awesome for home theater systems, of course.

                                                    I've yet to see a porn vid in 4k that blew me away and made me think the scene wouldn't have been just as good in HD or even SD. I don't need to count the zits on a pornstar's ass in stunning UHD.

                                                      That's the same people said about porn when HD came up. Too much details bs, no one can watch it blablabla

                                                      Now look at paysites, anyone not shooting HD is as good as a has been. Members almost demand HD quality content (depending on niche a bit of course).

                                                      4k will be as normal in a few as HD is right now.

                                                        I totally agree. And I for one was one of the models saying not to go HD because I didn't want the close up detail, any lump or bump could be seen, but now we film in HD.

                                                        Looking into 4k more, are simple gopro 4k's going to do the job as well as a 10 grand Sony?

                                                          I'd say no, unless GoPro comes out with something that either has a zoom or isn't a super wide angle.

                                                            Sony a7s can be had for less than $2500.

                                                              If you don't need 422, the GH4 is the better choice, it can record 4k internally. The Sony cant.

                                                                                The OP states a list of several companies that don't shoot 4K. That is incorrect as I shoot for a few on that list and we shoot 4k for them.

                                                                                All content will be viewed on 4k or higher monitors by the majority of consumers. That is a fact and if you disagree that's fine but you are simply not informed.

                                                                                What the consumer "needs" and what they will get from TV and monitor manufacturers is 2 different things.

                                                                                Footage shot in 4k when downscaled looks better than native 1080p footage.

                                                                                4k cameras and storage is inexpensive at the consumer am-pro market level.

                                                                                If one is shooting crap it will look even more crappy in 4k.

                                                                                    My question is, really there are so many users having screens on their computers or laptops that fully capture this format? and besides today that everybody is looking porn from their mobile devices??

                                                                                    except NaughtyAmerica who frequently update with 4K videos, other big brands do not. (Bangbros, Brazzers and all Mingueek sites, etc...)

                                                                                    and they are precisely average companies who are asking their producers for do the scenes in 4K. Why?

                                                                                    if I or some of my cameramans invest in a good 4K camera we need to shoot a whole year to amortize the video camera, or at least try to do about 30-40 shoots and make not less than 300 euros of profit per shoot.

                                                                                    and then maybe the 5K format appear and they ask me for do the shoots in 5K camera LOL
                                                                                    Users of 4k will be high end users at this point. Demographic to be high paying customers. Charge for it. give them what they want and transcode to lower formats for everyone else.
                                                                                    It will change in the future but make more for the extra you do now.

                                                                                      Some pretty inexpensive editors can handle 4k video, although they can only output to HD. Sony Vegas Movie Studio Plantinum ($79) is one. This lets you shoot in 4k for the future, but pretty easily work in HD. I'm not sure, but most likely the edit file could be opened by their higher end product that does 4k (Vegas Pro, $399) if you later want to render to 4k.

Full upgrade to my editing as well. At the time I offered 4K to the handful of clients that were buying from indie shooters and a small price increase. None wanted to pay for it, in fact most around that time asked for a decrease in cost.

                                                                                            On the flip side, corporate leads...small businesses and agency's all started to look for 4K and with the budget and more work. That was the end of me shooting for adult other than for my own projects.

                                                                                            Plenty of inexpensive 4k options on the market these days, no reason for anyone not to make the leap even for hotel room POV shooters.
