Dear studio ElegantAngel and director Mason aka SamNO please invite beautiful actress Rachel Starr to shoot with you and your studio, I think it is great idea shoot second part "Rachel Starr is bad ass 2" after 10 years!!!!!!!!!!!!please dear studio and Mason!!!!!
Question regarding membership differences between Elegant Angel and Club Elegant Angel,
I see on Club Elegant Angel it's more archived footage of their library vs. Elegant, but in regards to Elegant, I see that you can download a specific scene from a DVD or the whole DVD, and if I want to download a particular scene, am I able to grab the picture set along with the scene? I'm very big on wanting to download the pictures that correspond with the scene.
Good to see I am not the only one dreaming about Rachel´s anal revival with Michael Stefani, probably the only reason he returned

If you are talking about the new/current Elegant Angel site (elegantangel.com), I believe you are mistaken because that site is streaming-only. It's been discussed in this thread previously, the fact that the new EA site does not allow you to download scenes. On the other hand, it does appear that the old site ClubElegantAngel.com does allow downloads.
Elegant Angel used to be to the top but once, they were just stream only I just havent kept up with them at all. No way I would pay to just stream. I would and did pay to download though.
ElegantAngel.com does give me an option of only buying individual scenes, but I'm assuming that if i do buy it, I'll only be able to stream and not download it. Sucks big time. Thanks for the help and information.
ClubElegantAngel.com might be my way to go.

^ Keep in mind, not only is all the stuff on the Club site old, but a lot of it might not even be available in HD (high definiton).
^ As far as the HD thing, I would say that's not really accurate. I was a member of Club Elegant Angel last year; the content ends with stuff that was on late 2015/early 2016 Elegant Angel DVDs, and goes back to the early 2000s. Generally, stuff prior to 2008 seemed to be SD-only, 2008-2009 was a mix, and everything from 2010 on was available in 1080p, which is exactly what you would expect.
Agree. I joined because I wanted to see if their scenes were HD, and was pleasantly surprised to se many HD scenes. A lot of the feature movies that made Elegant Angel a big studio were all in 1080p. Unfortunately they had nones of their newer content.
A new 'Big Wet Asses' with not just one but TWO (Carmen Caliente/Kay Carter) scenes with absolutely no anal? The glory days of this once dominant studio are long gone. Seeing that pretty much killed that franchise altogether for me smh. Then again, Chanell Heart getting the 'Big Black Wet Asses 14' cover (in a period of her career where she had actually shot anal scenes) did the same and I liked the next two installments, so who knows? Still a serious letdown, though...
^ I was aware of the Carmen situation (since she's never done anal and they would have announced it if this movie would have it), but Kay Carter has done plenty of anal, why cheapen out on this?
"performers of the year" movies too aren't what they used to be. Initially we got double DVDs with lots of bonus scenes (ok, that's probably irrelevant in VOD every other scene on the network can be considered a "bonus" scene), but now we have 4 scenes, one of them a lesbian scene and if we're lucky one anal scene... (plus the fact that in the olden days there were 4 new movies each month, in 2020 we had 20 new movies (and lots and lots of compilation DVDs each month - no shortage of those 4hours or 20hours compilations). And in 2021 currently we are at 4.
Elegant Angel releases so many compilations that I never know when they are releasing new scenes. I wish their picture quality hadn't decreased in the 10 and 11 year since they pulled off their incredible "Superstar Septembers".
Not really sure what Elegant Angel is doing with Big Wet Tits 20; this movie has been out for over two weeks on DVD now, and is still not available to purchase for download at any site I can find. I don't remember this being the case with past EA releases, at least not any that I was interested in. I mean honest, who the f*** buys DVDs anymore? Disappointing and inexplicable...
^^ Just a hint: all those DVDs with the 4hrs or 20hrs label on it are compilations. And basically every DVD with more than 4 scenes.
Just have a look at https://www.adultdvdempire.com/152/studio/elegant-angel-porn-movies.html
Cumshot Eruptions: without bearing the 4hrs or 20hrs label, but with two dozen actresses listed, it's a comp. If you then go down the list, the next non-labelled compilation is "The Greatest Squirters Ever 6" (the "Greatest" in the title apparently also implies it's a comp)
^ Apparently they want to steer you to their streaming options. Welcome to the 21st century and what studios actually think how users should consume their product...
Those showcases were an event. Loved those so much. I was so hyped for those. Now Elegant Angel is hardly on my radar. I pay for porn but I am not paying for streaming only and I am not buying a dvd, I havent used a disc of any kind for years.
I see downloads are not supported on ElegantAngel.com, but what format are the videos streamed in? If it's unencrypted HLS then many browser add-ons can intercept the stream and download them, but if they encrypt the streams and/or use a custom player then it's not possible.
^ I stumbled upon a thread in the "US DVD trading" forum here, and there it was mentioned because of alleged piracy issues... Apparently EA think that on AdultDVDMarketplace vendors are selling bootlegged versions, so they rather forbid selling altogether.
Which sounds in line with the other actions they have taken, a.k.a. watering down the product, going streaming only (where possible), and if you look at some instances of EA's twitter, the guy (or guys) there sometimes keep on tweeting to various tube sites about them stealing their content and such.
Little new product, but of course each month lots of compilation DVDs... Still wondering who is buying all these...

Ok, that at least makes sense. I have purchased a most of my Elegant Angel collection on ADM but they don't have a problem with bootlegs.......EVIL ANGEL has a problem with bootlegs! However, the ADM folks are really good about nailing sellers who sell bootlegs so I don't know what their problem is when its Evil Angel who I've gotten lots of DVD=R garbage.

^ only thing I know, there will be a scene featuring Jayden Cole and Adira Allure. With Scarlett Sage retired, we'll get some fresh faces. Definitely hoping to see Serena Blair and Milana Ricci, and won't miss Darcie Dolce should she not be booked.
i am wondering why this company does such a thing. if many woman were in kayla kayden's shoes they would be pissed for many reasons but the biggest reason is: fame and awards. i mean who would be able to compete with kayla this year for the same things that won angela white multiple awards incl performer of the year. hands down kayla would win putting out dps and gangbang(s) so this company is preventing her on winning the awards.
She posted on her only fans that she has sole control over the scenes to release on her only fans and that Elegant would not be releasing them. So it's really up to her at this point.
i am pretty sure for some of her scenes not all. she said on twitter she did about 6 dps. so that means 5 of them will likely be elegant angel's portions of a showcase for a future (2050? lol) release
Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I'm hunting for some of the music that Sam No/Mason has used in their teases and trailers over the years at Elegant Angel.
If anyone has access to or knows of the production music that was around at the time, I'd love to find some of it for an ongoing project I've been hired to do.
Elegant Angel has risen back to prominence again over the last 2-3 years.
They have clearly sprung back into relevance again, I do like their Gonzo content.
I enjoyed the Alyx Star and Prince Yahshua scene from Naturals 4.
The intro was smoking hot and I do like Alyx Star being paired with Prince as they put on a fantastic scene together and seemed pretty into each other.
LT Turner scene with Aubree Valentine also delivered big in my book.
I love purchasing Elegant Angel VODs through Adult Empire.
Hope they can bring in more fantastic models and deliver more ground breaking scenes like the recent Alyx Star scene.
Pat Myne and Sid Knox have great mindset when it comes to directing and have brought back relevancy back to the Elegant Angel brand.
LT is also heavily underated in my book as a director.
Silly me, didn't realize (didn't search) there was a thread for this studio. I'll share some of my recent feedback and opinions and from the past few years too.
As I've been growing my physical DVD collection, Elegant Angel is one of the few studios I can comfortably depend on to release a disc that (so far) won't have video or audio errors. I like that their DVDs aren't overstuffed with content to allow for higher bitrates and I'd probably own even more of their releases but to my surprise DDBusty's compilation DVDs of Elegant Angel content might actually have even better video quality; if only because most of the original extra features (e.g. trailers, BTS) aren't included to allow for more disc space. If a Elegant Angel title has a cast I really like I'll buy it but if there are names I'm so-so on, I don't mind waiting for DDBusty to possibly release a compilation with an better ensemble more to my liking. I don't like to double dip unless I really like a specific performer.
If I were to make a ranking list of the A/V quality of all studios who release DVDs, Elegant Angel/DD Busty would be in my top 3 and that's not an exaggeration. Thank you to whoever authors & does disc compression and if anyone does Quality Control who actually cares about making a good looking disc. Can't stress enough how many underwhelming and terrible looking DVDs there are on the market. Maybe someday when costs plummet more, Elegant Angel will give porn on Blu-ray disc another try.
I noticed Elegant Angel/Adult Empire owned VOD sites have 4K options for newer scenes. Assuming content hasn't been shot in 4K fairly recently, I would like to see all 4K eligible scenes for sale. There are several scenes I would happily purchase even if I own the 1080p or DVD copy of already.
I also noticed there seems to be a new label, "Elegant Angel Select" on Adult Empire but doesn't appear to show up as an option in the studio search list on elegantangel.com (hope someone can fix that) Curious if any of these scenes will be bundled on DVD in the future.
Doubt I'll get an answer to this but noticed some Elegant Angel content gets renamed and distributed over at Hustler. Don't know if there's a partnership between companies (same owners?) or just licensing out content and getting some licensing fees from those deals.
Awards aren't everything but I feel like Elegant Angel has been woefully underrated for nominations and wins.
I guess with the pay to win system most events have (via ad buys which are basically bribes) TPTB at Elegant Angel would rather not participate in the unethical game. Still as a fan can't deny it's annoying AF when another movie that isn't as good or a star showcase from another studio with a less attractive girl wins instead.
Re. the "elegant angel select", that appears to be the label only for single scenes online before they are put into a movie.
E.g. several scenes that have since been put on the "Hard Bodies 4" title (from Elegant Angel) were released as single scenes for "Elegant Angel Select".
Though I haven't seen a Elegant Angel physical release in quite some time, my local rental place had the last in spring 2022 (some L.T. title), but for example no signs of "performers of the year 2022" ever getting a release.
Add to that that TPTB at elegant angel ban their merchandise from being sold on various retailers (AdultDVDMarketplace for example), I don't know what their business strategy is.
Their online presence gets split between elegantangel and clubelegantangel, but scenes also appear on VOD like adultdvdmepire, but no news for physical releases anymore (and some twitter rantings about tube sites (and their owners) stealing Elegant Angel contents).
I have given up hope on that studio a few years ago...
At one point they were my favorite but I have not kept much tabs on them once they just did streaming only and now it looks like its vod. If it was as simple as the other sites where you can subscribe and download I would have. They just have largely become out of sight out of mind for me because of how they operate.
Looks like new webscene releases are more common now and not just from upcoming DVD/VOD features
All scenes might not be tagged yet but this link seems to be the best way to track Elegant Angel exclusives as Adult Empire's UI will mix in content from other studios they own
I still would like to see past & older content get 4K remasters. Unlikely Adult Empire will license out content to rival platforms but I'm curious if platforms like AEBN or Porn Box would have higher bitrates and/or 48kHz audio; I'd happily re-buy and double dip for some of my favorites. For some reason my Bluetooth headphones don't receive 44.1kHz audio very well (audio through TV or PC speakers, 44.1 kHz sounds fine though just not with Bluetooth on my Blu-ray Player) and it is annoying enough that I've been tempted to edit/sync the DVD audio of scenes I own (which are 48kHz) to the 1080p & 4K downloads I have...
Now that Elegant Angel is back to being one of the more active studios in the industry again, (one of my favorites again in fact, happy to say) a question to all: If they were to bring back the 'Buttwoman' series, who would you all think to be worthy of the title from the modern era performers? I'd say either Savannah Bond, Tommy King, Violet Myers, Willow Ryder or Hayley Davies, who's new but I'm liking a lot.
They just made one last year. I'm hoping for a new 'Battle of the Asses' as well, hopefully with either Emma Magnolia, Hayley Davies, Jessie Rogers, Kazumi, Mona Azar, Princess Emily, Savannah Bond, Tommy King, Violet Myers, and/or Willow Ryder headlining.
