Look, I am a big fan of POV movies. But what I can't stand is when a POV cameraman has a good view going, and then will for no good reason, go do this "side" view.

The most recent example is Jenavive Jolie in "About Face #2". Mr. Streams has a great POV view of her ass while riding cowgirl. But then, the camera just drifts off to the side ... WHY???? Laziness & indifference I'm sure.

THIS IS A POV MOVIE. We did not buy it for shot variety. We want it to be almost always a "POV" camera. If you can't do this, don't call it a POV movie!!!!

At least "About Face #2" is more POV than the first entry. That one was truly a disgrace form a POV perspective.

People to learn from: Rodney Moore, Mike John, and lately ... Tony T (who did an execellent job with the POV for Perveted POV #7 & #8).


P.S. -- Don't even get me started on how lackluster Lexington Steele's POV attempts are. Too many closeups, bizzare & awkward camera angles. Lots of good talent in his POV flicks have been underutilized because of bad camera work.

Pov seems hard for people to shoot, some pov stuff is just not erotic enough. Well a side view is not really pov correct? I don't think mike john does side views i know rodney does

In general I love the way Mike John shoots POV. My only complaint is that I have no wish to see his face at any time during a scene.

I understand you're point, if it's POV, but in all other porn positions, the side view rules.

There's simply not a better camera position for showing penetration.

How else can the viewer tell how the girl deep the girl is getting pumped.

I even prefer it for dps, because shots from the back are simply too dark to see anything. I also think directors shooting dps from the back, because it's more difficult to notice if the anchor is going soft.
