one thing i hate about these porn sites brazzers, blacked, realityking, mofos, pervcity etc is their color. are these guys who videotaped color blind or what? these color sucks like crap. for example, blacked has a white pale color, realitykings and mofos are saturated color, why can't these guys filmed in natural light color like wakeupnfuck, immorallive, atkgirlfriend. i swear, all of these sites that have similar retarded color are run by the same group. that's why all saturated pale color are similar in every websites. atkgirlfriend has the most realistic color but the stupid guy records in a low bit rate, so its stupid. i swear, when the color is right, the quality sucks. when the bitrate quality is good, the picture of the movie is stupid. these guys are stupid. i got so tired with their crappy color that i cancelled and only kept wakeupnfuck and abbywinters. abbywinters willa and elin hardcore are so hot with nice color.

lastly, the site that i like best is premiumbukkake, but the idiotic videorecorder film in an oversaturated red color that is so annoying. these guys are all color blind.

how can we tell these websites to stop videotape their films with this stupid color?

for example, lana rohdes has done many scenes. however, only 1 scene that she did that you could see how beautiful her skin was is from the website wakeupnfuck. if you dont believe me, see that scene of hers in wakeupnfuck and compare that scene with her other website scenes, the ones with stupid color, and you can see the difference.

TLDR I saw more bitching, whining and name calling than constructive criticism.

The colour grading is often done under the vision of the studio or director. It's their choice to produce that way and your choice to buy or not buy.

^I would add that he should be thankful because I remember a time when you couldn't see much of the action because the lighting was beyond crappy so we didn't give a rats ass about color scheme since we couldn't see it.

That said. I wonder why some producers use a filter that makes everything look more reddish than it should.

^ There could be several reasons, none of which sound like a job well done.


  • The editing floor thought it "looked good"
  • Improper calibration on the camera for capture
  • Improper calibration of the monitor or whatever display device was used in post production.

I'm sure there are plenty more reasons why colours may be unbalanced.

Yeah, the wakeupnfuck site is run by Pierre Woodman. He's a real high quality ,veteran porn producer.
Almost all of his stuff has the natural look of almost being there in person watching the scenes.
Nothing like seeing natural skin tones and extreme, detailed HD visuals.

The PremiumBukkake site can be as good and sometimes even better depending on what producer & camera crew
are involved in the shoots. They use several. Some are so crystal clear and color balanced that you feel like you're almost there in person
and can see every spec of sperm swimming on the models face and body. Other times it's as if there is a thin film of petroleum jelly on the lens
along with an un-natural, off color tint that softens the scene and makes the result less prurient then intended.

Now that there are more porn sites either converting to or starting out with HD,4k / 5K production methods, I suspect that we'll see more
super high quality natural porn productions that will satisfy our demand for the best visual acuity.

Stay tuned.

I agree with AngryPirate that it's something the producers have the choice to make and we have the choice to consume.

However I think that as customers we are entitled to have an opinion and at least provide a little feedback. Personally I agree. I feel like old Mike Adriano stuff for Evil Angel (early 2010s) looks pretty normal but the most recent stuff, and especially the stuff on True Anal, looks so off to me, that I don't even find it appealing regardless of what's happening in the scene or who's being cast. Sometimes, if there is a scene that's really worth it, I can manipulate my media players settings and my screen settings to bring it back to something that looks decent. Same goes for a few other studios and scenes. I wonder what percentage of viewers actually prefer this type of lighting/coloring where girls
Look super pale and reds look super red, etc?

Thank you guys !!!
I try to keep all as much natural as possible but sometime because unfortunately the weather change or because the night arrive before i finish, I have to accept to continue with low light ( I don't always carry my Light set when it's summer for instance ) and you can have a huge difference of quality.
But also, as I did recently for the XXXX with the twin sisters Sandra and Lady Zee, I just keep the natural atmosphere of the room with the light from the building and of course it's very grainy but I like it sometime ...
And in case I use my light set, I try anyway to keep all as it's seen by my eyes !!!

Yep, biggest offenders are the ones from Cherrypimps. They claim it's all natural when it clearly fucking isn't. Grainy picture and horrendous image sets, so much post processing that it's just unwatchable. Their 4K vids are a disgrace.

Why not drag the video into a video editor like Adobe Premiere Pro and color correct it yourself? Yes it will mean re encoding the video but if the source is 1080p or 2160p you shouldn't notice any quality loss.

^
1) Resolution alone isn't a definitive or exhaustive measure of image quality nor does high resolution guarantee an imperceptible loss of quality. It's all too easy to transcode and make good quality source video look like crap with colour correction if you don't know what you're doing with your settings.
2) Are you not making a big presumption that the OP's computer can encode video quickly? Playing back HD/UHD video smoothly is one thing but encoding can be a whole different animal.

^I think you may have hit the nail on the head. I don't know if most porn producers know how to properly use their camera but I'm pretty sure that most if not all of them have no clue how to edit the content those cameras shoot because editing requires technical knowledge that usually can't be learned outside of an educational institution. It also requires a significant amount of time to properly edit video and somehow I don't think your average porn producer has the time or wants to waste it on editing.

^One thing I have learned is the absolute contempt some producers have for their own product. It is nothing more than a means to an end. The contempt for their own work is only surpassed by their contempt for the consumer. They are filth dealers and they resent the scum who consume their filth, like a burned out dealer pushing drugs to people they despises. The amount of money they spend on flashy equipment, you'd think they could be bothered to spend some cash on a evening course on how to be a barely competent cameraman/director/producer (wait, I can change the lens on this thing?!!!)

I agree, I'd rater watch videos with realistic lighting that shows imperfections on the girls bodies. It only makes it hotter to see these hot girls has some flaws, be it stretch marks or some scars etc.

^It's not just a question of using natural light or artificial that is the most important thing. It's the mix of lighting with the camera and the angle of the shots that make for an interesting looking video. I'm also a huge proponent of proper makeup use in the shooting process. Skin imperfections and scars may be acceptable in some cases but skin blemishes are not and to me if you can see razor burns, pimples and skin rashes on a woman than the producer didn't use a makeup artist to fix those things prior to shooting the scene and more often than not the scene will turn me off.
