All I can say is :haha: !
I always wondered if some of these people look in the mirror and become disapointed when they see what is truly there.
Many from Hollywood are complaining about the same thing.
One thing is for sure: the automotive paint booth for humans will once again become popular!
I just got my first HD TV and wow what a difference! I can see that it would take a lot to hide imperfections in this format than in previous TV standards....
I sure wouldn't want to be on my TV screen!
it really is too FUCKING unreal - personally, I hate make-up (not just on me) but on models - it comes off and leaves a mess on everything unless the make-up artist uses fixatives and all kinds of other chemicals and, its real scarey looking into the face of another model who is all made-up - and its all such a waste to spend all of that money when it comes off
my bitch - for a morning full of it already (awakened by helicopters to early this AM)
Funny, a year ago I asked about models with Pimples on their ass.
The answer was "The surfer likes that" "makes it more real" "It's so hot"
Be Who You Are!
it is absurd to think that we must go to these extreme measures to shoot - I know that most of our models think it is a complete turn off to work in full make-up - !
shoot in HD, put up the videos at a smaller but still big version. then you don't have to worry regarding sites. and guys looking for hot mature daddies expect and WANT some lines and weathering. it's not only okay, it's a good thing.
Matt 26z - i am seeing real HD around the web. admittedly it can't be played without downloading first and it is HUGE. my son's computer drops a lot of frames trying to play a huge movie with a 6mb bitrate, too. but they're out there and the lower versions of it are even more out there. silvercash and several other programs have launched scaled down but still big versions. they are 1280 x 720 and play at 1.9mb, which is still purty big.
check out http://www.gaysexresort.com/new.html and choose the HD preview video, not standard. then go full screen with it.
Ugh. Who would've said that?? That's not what my customers like to see. Ugh. But anyway, I've been saying since the start of HD that I didn't think watching porn in HD would be that great because of just the reasons stated in the NYT article. If we shoot in high enough quality to begin with, and keep that high quality throughout the editing and manufacturing process, it looks good enough to me, in my opinion, and I am in no hurry to switch to HD. Having said that, I'm sure that everything will be HD in the years to come, but for right now I don't think our customers are going to care about it.
I certainly don't want to see HD porn. Personally, I like the grittiness of the old '70s flicks. That's grainy quality is what makes them so hot.
I've said it before and I'll say it again... contemporary porn is too well shot. It's overlit, it's overstaged and it's overdone. Who has sex in bright lights? Who wants to see every nook and cranny of someone's body? I like sex in the shadows. It's more real.

i saw articles about this in both mainstream and webmaster articles.
there ARE ways to set most camcorders to record in a more flattering portrait mode, and that should help. certain lights are more flattering and there are probably things you can do in the video processing as well.
the way i look at it, if HD makes us more money, it's worth hiring a makeup artist for a few hundred a day. i'd avoid students and bargain makeup artists without seeing plenty of their sample work, though, as you could end up really LOOKING made up or even worse, have every spot covered with cover up showing clearly so you'd have spots :shock:
, I heard on a mainstream site that cameron diaz's face looks AWFUL in HD, even with makeup on... it exposes all the stars flaws that they try to hide
