High Def TUBE SITES
 

http://vimeo.com/ex1/page:2

I expect someone to start the first porn high def tube site soon. I was looking for clip sample on the new high def camera I got. (Sony EX1) and I found this high def tube site. Its pretty kick ass how long before this catches on with everyone and bandwidth allows this type of content. I would love to setup a paysite with this type of streaming it seems like the way to go.

Here are some clips shot with the Sony EX 1 on their site.

Does look good, but not many sponsors would be willing to give you HD movies. Maybe a handfull. And really, the bandwidth bill would be out of this world for porn.

I wonder if there is a script for a player like this that lets your user embed your stuff. this would be great for letting your affiliates promote your high def trailers.

does anyone know how to make one?>??

think outside of box, i think OP meant HD Paytube :) i also think its a good idea

Talk to CaveCreek. Get setup on CDN and get a custom player coded. We stream 720p in our members areas.

Wow, I've never seen better looking video when looking at my LCD computer screen. If anyone was reselling content of that quality I'd buy. That would have a significant quality difference with the content of free tubes and IMO paysites' maximum video quality should be around that.

That's exactly how I found Vimeo.... except different HD camera. Great place to check out what others are doing with the different settings.

I have a feeling something like this will appear very soon. :upsidedow

HD footage is great only when you use appropriate cine technics for your shoots - tripods, cranes, dollies, rails etc. Handheld shoots are all shaky mess even at SD resolution, at HD they're unbearable to watch.

HD footage is even better when using 35mm adapters, like this one for example:

Nice DOF, which you can't get with semiprofessional camcorders because of thier small martix sizes. But 35mm adapter gets the job done.

I use a steady cam 85% of the time tripod rest of time. Unless its a pov that just wont work except for handheld. I really don't see how Hd would show more shakiness than sd.

Sounds great. You belong to a small minority though, most just don't care and shoot handheld thinking it's OK because its porn, and all others are shooting same way.

Unless its a pov that just wont work except for handheld.

Small cranes are the best for POVs. They're not a big deal bigger than tripods, but far more versitle.

Also Glidecam can do the job, not as smooth as stedicam, but better than handleld anyway. Also some of the more expensive tripods allow more flexiblity, you can shoot nice POVs with them - probably not all the POVs you want, but still quite a lot of possible angles.

I really don't see how Hd would show more shakiness than sd.

Because of higher resolution, that's obvious. Same camera movement will show more pixel shift at HD and will be more noticable.

Do you have Parkinson's syndrome? Handheld HD footage looks just fine if you have sufficient and expertly placed lighting.

Since you say so OK. Steadycam and other cine equipement manufactures must be loosing tons of business now. Handheld is OK, no need for that fancy stuff anymore, just run and gun. lol

I look forward to high-res tube sites coming soon!

Now you can start filming higher quality content that can be given away for free!

HD Tubes - BRILLIANT BUSINESS PLAN FOR SURE!!!

No running and gunning involved if you are filming a gonzo porn movie with two people fucking on a bed or a couch. Just need a cameraman with a little experience and a steady hand. If I was filming a feature movie with dialog and people walking around various rooms while they were talking or interacting, or action sequences or other complex moves, I'd consider using more sophisticated tools like I have in the past.

That being said, your assertion that handheld HD footage doesn't look good unless one uses a jib or a tripod is ridiculous and the idea of using a small crane for a pov scene is as laughable as it is impractical in most cases. I would even make the argument that a experienced porn cameraman with a steady hand can get better, more fluid angles and more dynamic looking footage than any jib or crane, which, although they can be useful, are really very limited in the angles they offer.

Even those aspiring and imaginative kinds of movies require to at least introduce models to a viewer, camera shaking will be quite noticable at this point. When you get closer to models shakings will get less noticable, but they will still be there. Also when you run from one point to the other, camera movements will be quite noticable, no experience is going to make up for that. No matter the experience, handheld = shitty amateurish look of your footage and I just can't stand it.

If you're using jib or a tripod that's not handheld anymore. And surely using any of the above is absolutely practical, modern toys are lightweight and versitle.

What is really ridiculous, that is the whole idea of a handheld gonzo porn.

sounds like an expencive project!

That's some great looking video Jay. It almost looks like the hummingbird is CGI animated.

Incredible!

Yeah, that's just what the world needs, free HD porn tube sites. :Oh crap

LOL, are you a sales rep for jibs and cranes? The thousands of best selling gonzo DVD porn movies and web site scenes shot and released every year, all shot with handheld cameras by top directors, and released by top-selling DVD studios and multi-million web companies are are clearly doing it all wrong then I assume? You sound like someone who has never filmed a porn movie who is just spouting off about some theory that he has no experience with. That's the funny thing about GFY, some whack job with some off the wall theory arguing it as if it was fact eg, 9-11 conspiracy nuts, Gideon's copyright nonsense and a host of others.

What's wrong with that? You say that like it's a bad thing.

Aren't we racing to destroy the online porn business once and for all?

With HD tube sites we can probably kill this industry off in half the time!

Race to the bottom! Adapt and die!

Exactly. They're just doing it the easiest way, and since there's nothing else to buy, people buy. But porn has not always been all gonzo way. Older movies shot much more cinelike way were much better and smarter than what we get nowadays. And they also had their stellar titles and top producers/directors. But sadly the progress in technology led to degradation of the whole porn genre.

I shot enough to know what I'm talking about. Ordered from content providers even more.

There's room in the market for all kinds of porn movies, including those with story lines and those with just simple fuck scenes. There's more porn overall and more good porn than ever nowadays catering to every fetish. I wouldn't obsess about the tools though, a talented director can make a strokeable sex scene with or without any particular special equipment.

To each his own, with that I agree. Not really much to my own taste recently though, unfortunately. 99.9% of the movies are either handheld/gonzo or never ending zooms, which I also hate.

The curse and the blessing of the porn genre is that no matter how badly a scene was shot, it is still jerkable and sellable. You cannot get away with it in mainstream, but in porn you can.

check out some full 1080 hd:

cheap 1 chip canon
natural light
no steady cam
no tripod

this would burn more bandwidth, user would get more content and eventually would make less sales...

clip looks good!
