bargin Member 157 Posts 12/07	Posted - Aug 28 2008 : 9:21PM Let me first say that I know nothing about filming and I don't know if this is a camera problem but I would imagine it is. I honestly hate the redness that can be seen in many of evil angels movies, especially Manuels film, but also jay sin and maybe there's more but I can't think of it right now. I want to see the natural skin color of the performers and not that red tone. Does anyone really like this? I also wish the evil angel movies would be clearer, they are kind off blurry. This is a big reason why I loved redlight district because they had excellent picture. Below is picture example: Evil Angel screencaps: 1 2 Perfect picture screenshots: 1 2 I really hope Evil Angel will make some changes. Fixed subject line... Edited by - heynow on Aug 29 2008 [Link]
MikeSouth Deactivated User 511 Posts 11/02	Posted - Aug 28 2008 : 9:37PM that could be a lot of things but the most likely culprit is using the camera in auto mode when at the very least the color balance should have been set manually the saturations is WAY to high. id have to look at the video with a vectorscope to tell for sure but thats what it looks like BTW you need a www. in front of those links [Link]

I've assumed that it was on purpose, to give a bit of a different effect; but it's certainly possible he just doesn't know what he's doing when it comes to balance. Maybe Tricia could answer that for you (I'm not sure if Jay posts here). [Link]

RandomPrecision Senior Member Enjoy! 8175 Posts 3/06	Posted - Aug 29 2008 : 12:18AM Mike is probably right. Incorrect white balance has been a problem in gonzo porn for many years. It's not something that's entirely unavoidable and it probably shouldn't be as widespread as it is. But, that's the nature of the equipment that's being used, the people who are using it and the subject matter that's being shot. Large areas of human skin are one of the most challenging subjects for a video camera. A camera that's just set to auto mode and left there is probably going to have big problems with the kind of stuff that's typically shot in a porn flick at least 30% of the time. I don't know that that's what they're doing but it does look that way sometimes. [Link]

Gunzo Senior Member 1377 Posts 2/05	Posted - Aug 30 2008 : 6:39AM Looks like lighting to me, but these do not look that bad either way (I don't like it too blue/cold nore to red/warm). [Link]
Walter Burns Legendary Quoter IAFD, supporters of beastiality. Just say no. 7564 Posts 11/02	Posted - Aug 30 2008 : 10:15AM Doesn't look like an incorrect white balance to me. That usually results in either blueish or yellowish tints, not bright red like this one. This seems to be just a matter of way too much saturation. Here is the first picture again with the saturation lowered. The colors don't look half bad, certainly not effected that much by an incorrect white balance. But ouch, that still is one red asshole.

Ramsey Senior Member Trina Michaels fan 10332 Posts 10/02	Posted - Aug 30 2008 : 10:52AM Yeah the quality of the picture can make or break a movie especially now with BR. That's why I can't wait to see the picture quality of the first Evil Angel BR. But Buttman movies were always top quality so I'm not worry about that. [Link]
shark1 Senior Member 1219 Posts 5/04	Posted - Sep 2 2008 : 12:06AM I have really noticed this with EA titles for months now. It is a shame, I need natural flesh tones and almost all their movies now feature orange flesh tones which is much more prevalent in Jaysin's movies. That completely ruins the scene for me, but it does help my pocketbook Such a shame to see all those great scenes go to waste though. Jules Jordan Video does this as well. [Link]

Click to expand even at that everything has too much red in it, manual w/b would have fixed that, your idea that it makes it blue or yellow only applies if all you do is cycle through the presets [Link]
