Am I the only one that hates when scenes are shot in broad daylight, on a white couch, with bright white lights... there is no ambience, no contrast, no character to the set. Sorry i just had to vent about that.

Yep watched a few scenes recently which had this issue. It has to be filmed right and at a good bitrate or it can be a mess.

I agree wholeheartedly. The white backgrounds and props combined with the soft focus camerawork(I'm sure there's a more technical term that I don't know) makes these movies feel like couples, softcore porn from a while back. Tushy is the biggest perpetrator of this in my opinion, but there are plenty of others who do the same. I personally believe the best lighting and camerawork ever was in the late 90s/early 2000s with the Red Light District and Platinum X productions.

A "good bitrate" at filming isn't a magical solution nor does it guarantee the published video won't be a mess. A "good bitrate" in filming can be meaningless if the input video is butchered in the post production process whether it's transcoded to an inferior means of compression or if colour grading/white balancing/etc is fumbled.

The whole production process has to be on point from the capture of the scene on set to when the raw video goes through the editing room where the final video output is produced. For the scene to be "filmed right and at a good bitrate" can still result in a mess if those cutting, splicing and correcting the video don't have a good enough technical standing of video editing.

I agree. I watched 2 scenes recently where both scenarios happened. One was the lighting kept hitting the faces of the people which was a major issue and another where the scene seemed to be filmed well but bitrate was exposing certain textures in the scene.

Going back a few years bitrates were 12Mbps at 1080p and seem to be fine and was just down to filming techniques if the scene had issues. Today bitrates have dropped for bandwidth and improved codecs. The biggest issue today is 4k where most of the major studios are producing well shot scenes but the content is at 15.1Mbps which is not high enough for any 4k content. I subscribed to few sites where one uses high bitrate 30-50Mbps and the others 15.1 and it is night and day in quality when scenes shot well. With many scenes filmed in white light or bright colour scenarios or outdoor scenes it is getting exposed at higher resolutions.

I love ample white light and no distractions. I love what Tushy does.
