This video is an HD encoding test and a test to see if you like the format. Getting an update this week was difficult so I pulled this video from our archives. This is one that was a partial fail (intercourse) but did end with an unexpected double blow job scene.
As you will see in the video I was quite irritated with Skylar. She sent us a beautiful pic she claimed was current but when she arrived it was apparent it was a pic from a few years back. This started the shoot off on the wrong foot. She had also told us she was really into sex but this was obviously not the case as you will see in the video.
Just as I was about to cancel the whole thing, I looked over to see Paige blowing J so I told them to hop on the bed and we would finish with a double blow job scene. The entire shoot was a mess. I lost J's lighting and camera assistance to Paige's blow job so I was trying to do the lighting and video with little success! In the end, I tossed the video in storage until I could decide what to do with it.
Note: Skylar told us before she left she did not like giving blow jobs and we all kind of determined she really wasn't into men.
Since this week was a big FAIL as far as video shoots, I decided to play with HD using this shoot as an experiment. We were shooting video in HD but rendering the video in standard to keep file sizes low. You can still download the standard 1500K, but we added 3000K and 5000K to see if you like it.
The file sizes for the 3000K are approximately 1GB. The 5000K are approximately 1.7GB. It goes without saying the time it will take to download these files is a bit longer than the 1500K depending on your computer's capabilities, your ISP, and whatever internet HUB you travel to get from your ISP to our server. Some members feel the longer download times are a good trade off for better quality.
Loading these larger files on our server will increase our storage cost so we eliminated the clips to balance things out. WMV/MP4 3000K and 5000K files are too large for streaming so I just posted the Flash 1500K.
I test downloaded the 3000K and it took approximately 15 minutes to download on my laptop @ 1100KB/s, which is pretty slow. What can I say, it's a laptop! The MP4 looks good but the WMV shows a slight color distortion during the interview and a little pixelizaiton at the end which is probably just a simple codec fix. I have not tested the 5000K yet so have no idea how it plays.
