I haven't had time to watch the scene yet, but I'm sure that parker999 was accurately describing his subjective experience of the scene as a viewer. Although some viewers will likely have a similar experience to his when they watch this scene, others will have a different experience.
Earlier today I contacted Blacked.com support as their site states that they welcome feedback. Therefore, I passed on my disappointment of how scenes from all three of Greg Lansky's sites had become incredibly dark and lacked the lighting they initially shot with. This was the response I received from their support team:So there you have it! Apparently from Greg's mouth. They have been experimenting, but they plan to revert back to the brighter filming style which Blacked and Tushy initially started out with. Hopefully in the next month or so we will see the improvements. Awesome!
Much better costar will be difficult to attain since Jason is the highest rated on that website by a lot and dominates the top rated scenes by quite an insane margin. I've seen quite a few issues named with the scene, some being the dull, sepia tone used for it, others being the camera angles and still others being the finish at the end due to lack of enthusiasm and adverse reaction by Ms. White. Can't say I disagree with any of that 100%. To be honest, I'm of the mind now that Lansky kind of phones it in and coasts with a lot of scenes. In some scenes, like the Marley Brinx one for instance, he pulls out all the stops. You see like a bunch of different, amazing angles in the missionary position. Then the next three scenes he uses the same 1-2 angles the whole time and doesn't ever zoom out the camera. It makes perfect sense, to be fair. Very few people give something their all 100% of the time. He's allowed to not put full effort in on some scenes and let the chips fall where they may. I'm still happy for all the great scenes he's put out and will be a lifetime fan of his work.
My guess is the "darker" look is intended to appear more cinematic, like mainstream content you would see on premium cable or in the theater. Pretty much every mainstream show or movie does heavy digital color correcting, deliberately narrowing the palette. It doesn't necessarily make the image darker, but it does make it appear more soupy/foggy. It's a trend that has really gotten out of hand over the last decade. To their credit, in the last few months they have achieved what I would call a more mainstream cinematic look. It's as close to film as I've seen for a porn site. I think it's definitely good that they have pushed it in this direction for the sake of experimentation, but it's not one I am totally sold on yet. So I am inclined to agree with your request for them to revisit their roots. I think right now some better ways they can achieve a more cinematic feel is in the writing process. They do a great job as it is, far better than anyone else I can think of in terms of selling a plot, but I still think they could experiment a lot more. Also, a lot of these pretty models are clearly not professional thespians. There are some really cringey line deliveries here and there lol. I know it can't be easy finding a performer who can do it all on top of being gorgeous. I think Riley Reid is one of the best all around performers, in terms of looks, sexual performance, and acting. Chanel Preston is a triple threat as well. Super hot, great sexual performer, and definitely one of the best actresses I've ever seen in porn. She could easily make a mark in SAG if she's not already a part of it. I'm hoping Blacked can continue to push the envelope and raise expectations.

^I would add Lana Rhoades to that Keisha Grey and Leah Gotti black scene as well. The Elsa Jean, Sydney Cole, and Rachel James scene is the best black ever done but I think those girls could blow it out of the water.
Even though Blacked would never book a girl that looks like me- I'd still like to request myself for bookings anyway :) Seems to be all cookie cutter types on there these days though :/ Gone are the days you can look different and be successful in porn Contact macimayxo@gmail.com Twitter @Maci_MayXO
I understand and agree with your interpretation in describing their scenes as a representation of cinematic filming, rather than just being darker. Some scenes or camera angles actually looked alright if the lighting was sufficient, but it is something I would certainly not like to watch on a regular basis. Perhaps Greg Lansky could add to his current brands with a new site in future, that concentrates releasing its scenes in this current cinematic filming style.
I don't know why blacked wouldn't book you, you are beautiful!!! They use the same type of girls over and over, people complain. I will make request for sure.
^ Lansky has already said, to me directly when I asked him, that he wants a specific look for women on BLACKED. He has had Angela White, Valentina Nappi, August Ames, and a few other round and beautiful women on BLACKED. But a majority of them, a vast and overwhelming number of them, are a size 2 or smaller. Basically Victoria Secrets models and not rap video girls. I suggested this myself and people were literally ready to throw their tablets and keyboards at me. I read things about them not wanting "fat girls" or "fat women" on BLACKED. I don't agree with them in the least and still like BLACKED. But having Maci in a scene would be great to see!

What's immediately upliftifting about the upcoming Kylie Page scene is that she sports natural nails!. (Kylie Page has had acrylic nails in all her past scenes, which has prevented me from "getting with her"). I hope this means BLACKED has turned a page...

Please bring back Riley Nixon back and have her do some rimming in her scene.

I'm sure you're right - the nail place Kylie Page frequents was probably overbooked (by other Silicone Valley girls) around the time of her BLACKED shoot. I shouldn't expect natural nails from Lansky, I know better after so many years. I'll just have to cherish the few scenes WITH natural nails. The upcoming BLACKED scene with Kylie Page will probably be the only Kylie Page scene I can get into, too. I have a feeling she won't let herself be seen without fake nails from here on out!. Edit: Kylie's scene can still disappoint - if it ends in a creampie!. Edited by - ulrich on 8/6/2016 12:17:01 AM

BLACKED, please book Alex Harper and Raylin Ann - I'll just make sure to overbook every nail salon on earth!. Edited by - ulrich on 8/5/2016 10:31:32 PM
Yeah it's quite unfortunate. I'll never appear on a Lansky site because of my tattoos (even though I recently dyed my hair back to brown), and curves (even though I'm not fat, I weigh 130). I'm never going to be a size 2 and that's ok. I embrace myself for who I am, not someone's "perception" of what the consumer supposedly likes (and by the looks of it on here, people want to see more diversity in Lansky's scenes) My only hope is if enough people clamor to see me on his sites, then he'll book me, but I definitely don't look like a victoria's secret model lol Contact macimayxo@gmail.com Twitter @Maci_MayXO

Kylie Page, huh? She's totally new to me. She's hot and the scene looks good, but I gotta admit that when I was looking at the pixelated images, I was thinking/hoping that it would be AJ Applegate; I saw a white girl with blonde hair and a big booty and thought maybe, just maybe, it was her.
^ except that AJ has done not one or two but many many IR scenes lol

I hope that the Kylie Page scene has titty-fucking in it -- not a lot of chances for titty-fucking on BLACKED!. So, when a girl like Kylie (with such large, natural boobs) comes along, titty-fucking would be most welcome. Edited by - ulrich on 8/6/2016 6:39:43 AM

Blake, Bella Rose and Cleo Vixen currently top my list of blondes I want to see on Blacked. Kylie was also on that list until yesterday! Edited by - pllop71 on 8/6/2016 9:21:15 AM

^I want her back with or without rimming, but after seeing her rim in a Velvet Ecstasy trailer I knew that I had to request that act for a future Blacked scene. I love IR rimming.
I hope DVDstuff is right, i mean maybe not immediately, they could do another scene for Vixen.com or other, but in 2-3 months i hope to see Blake Eden and Kendra Sunderland go on to Blacked. And to plan this way Greg Lansky could start to speak with them now. P.S. Brett Rossi started to do B/G and after 2-3 month she went Blacked... so we hope and suggest
