High Def Cameraman & EDIT / dvd

[John-vid]

Hi Bill,

Thanks for the support, you need it when you know the world is full of jaded people, (me included).

Nothing ventured nothing gained, but i dont hold out much hope either.

I will probably have to fund something myself at some time,

but I am interested in making something, to test out the Technology, ie High tech porn... I know ppl only want to see sex,

but i just want to present it differently,

Ive done experiments in the past with 3D video, but standard definition, doesnt really give a good 3D effect, but now that HDV is here and an affordable TOY, it can breathe new life into "People Fucking"

Erotic Art meets High Tech, I Have the production skills to turn a sow's ear into a silk purse, but i really want to start with "fantastic footage" and work from that.... the possibilities are endless, and surely this is the best way to try to get accepted for distribution or other work.

but I cant do it all on my own!

The Beauty of HDV, is your not using the same expensive HD cameras, as sky would have invested in, but something way better than digi-beta.
and you dont need "Dalsa" or "ViperHD" for low budget with High production values.

but you can output it to HDTV or what ever you want, I would prefare to give it out on a DVD, encoded in Windows Media9 HD format. there is some ability to keep track of the files, within the encoder which is cool.

I am sure any porno filmaker that was making a good living from it, would have already invested in HD, but it it was the lower resolution JVC HD camera then they will be having to get something better.

you can fit a DV image in the HD frame 3 times width ways, but it is "virtually" 4 x bigger image, and looks great, I just ain't seen to many FLESH TONES

Hi to

PhilmCc I thought your post was negative at first but I just had a look at your festivalerotique site, and i liked the look of it, looks classy,

any plans for any events that will look like that let me know I'd love to get it in HD...

Ah JADED people, the BGAFD forums do a special line in them!

I?m sure if you keep pushing you?ll achieve your goal but don?t let the b-stards get you down

What a strange place porno land is?

Unless your shooting in a top location with new props & of coarse a pretty model with good make-up & wardrobe etc. Then correct me if i'm wrong but wouldn't HD make all wrinkles, skin rash, marks on furnature & every other defect stand out!

They say you can't "polish a turd". But i'm sure a little soft lighting & soft focus definitely helps! Some of the best porn i've seen was shot in the 70's with relativly LD equipment or new stuff shot with a filmic effect or the removal of a field in avid for a 16mm look......just a thought for the tech heads.

As I havent filmed any 'flesh' with HD I wouldnt be able to comment but I do want good looking girls without blemishes, but I also would like to experiment with Soft Lighting, like a very soft ring light(LED) or something simillar.

I was thinking of deserted islands in thailand...would be cheaper than UK and better light.

but who knows maybe I am dreaming

[John-vid]

and not to mention the fact you could buy '10' HDV cameras for the price of a digibeta....

and how many porn movies shot in standard definition have models with spotty arses anyway, so all this talk of HD showing up the blemishes will just mean either selecting people with no blemishes,

or giving a free bottle of popprs away with every title, so they can get into the rawness of it all
