Since he took over the camera duties for most of the Peter North lines, they've all suffered. They use a shitty camera that seems to be set to capture less than the standard number of frames per second (always looks choppy - it makes me dizzy sometimes) and they never get the light or color right. Add to that Craven's moronic interviews with the girls that make me want to scream, and you have a recipe for scenes that are almost unwatchable. The last few "Deep Throat This" and "Swallow This" releases have had one or two scenes that rose above all this nonsense, but the general trend has been downward.
I just finished watching (or should I say "trying" to watch) "Swallow This #8". Great cast, including one of the hottest BJ girls out there right now - Isabella Dior. There has to be something salvageable here, right? Nope. Craven's already unsteady hand is getting worse and worse. He literally can't hold the camera still for more than a fleeting second or two. It's CONSTANTLY moving. It was so annoying I just couldn't watch any of the scenes past the first few minutes. Adding further insult to injury is the fact that the image on at least a couple of the scenes (the Holly Wellin scene being the most prominent) is distorted - smushed so that the girls literally look like they're anorexic.
Pitiful.
When you consider how many other great BJ, blowbang and swallow series there are out there, I can't understand why anybody would still buy this absolute and utter crap.
Save yourself the time and money on this one.
And Craven - PLEASE RETIRE.

I agree with you. I don't know what is wrong with Craven, but he certainly is ruining things over the past year.
I wonder what is happening to him? He used to do such a great job directing blowjob scenes. I enjoyed his Oral Adventures of Craven Moorehead series and the early volumes of the Deepthroat This series. Now his newest movies are almost unwatchable.
I hope Craven returns to his old ways, and if not, then I hope Northstar finds a new director for the blowjob series.
Edited to add:
Cumwhipper, thanks for the mini review but I think you are talking about Swallow This 9 and not 8.
I am not really surprised that this new one is not any good. I threw away the last four volumes of Swallow This and the last four volumes of DeepThroat This.
I think I will stop buying the series for a while, it does not seem to be improving. Instead I will use my money to buy the Richard Moulton oral themed movies that have been released. They are pretty good.

oops - Yes, I was talking about #9 (the latest, I guess). They're all running together in my head anyway. lol
Richard Moulton is great! I purchased "Facial Cum Targets" after one viewing, and "Nut In Her Mouth" has some great oral creampies. Clear, well-lit, STEADY camera, with half-decent color (still not all that great, but serviceable), and he really gets the girls to work his cock over thoroughly - rubbing it all over their pretty faces, taking it as deeply in their mouths as they can, and keeping steady ECWC. All the ingredients for great BJ scenes.

Divert from that triad and you're bound for trouble.
The 1% covers everything else, which does include good porn.

IMO , poor camerawork is a major problem in porn , these days. Bad camera operators have ruined alot of potentially good movies because of their poor judgement , shaking , and constant movement.
It baffles me how somebody , who used to be decent , could get worse....

You know, it's understandable that there will be a certain number of bad cameramen out there. I mean, it's not like these guys are going to school for this stuff, at least not for the most part. My assumption is that most of these guys are self-taught.
But, one would think that they would improve over time or get replaced. That's how it would tend to work in most jobs in most industries. But, I guess it just doesn't work that way in porn valley.

Absolutely agree that Craven was hot and now sucks big time. Glad someone finally mentioned it. The North Pole series used to be my favorite and some of the hottest girls are still casted but Craven ruins it all. I won't watch any more and Peter North's an idiot for letting him ruin his series. They still feature the finest box covers though.

A similar post I find the need to reply to in a similar way!! I take it you haven't seen any of Private's latest? I suggest you check out the Hi-Speed Sex, Ibiza Sex Party, and Xtreme series just to see if you would mention them in that list as well.
I think Private is my NHL. It IS one of the 4 sports, and in fact it's my favorite!!
