Whats with the annoying camera lenses used for Grooby vids?

[Goldenguinea]

Yeah I agree I don't care for that look either and I'm fairly sure that Frank is the only photographer that over-uses it (we have it on occasional scenes on some of the Brazilian sites.
The reason it is used at all, is it's the only way to get the cock, the face, the feet, all fitted in - so often they'll do that as one of the cumshot camera angles and edit it with a wider shot.

Thanks for the feedback, I'll mention it to the photographers in my email to them all for changes in 2009.

I call Bullshit on this one. Ocasional my ass. More like the other way around. Most of the vid is shot with the weird lens with the occsional normal lens editted in. Id say at least 75% of the vids are shot that way

I'm calling bullshit on you. I've stated that Frank's site has too much of the fisheye but it is NOT most of the video, the Brazilian sites less - and Shemale Yum, Black Tgirls, Shemale Japan, etc practically none.
As I said, thanks or the feedback, we'll address it - but keep your comments in the realms of fact, not fiction.

I like the fishlens close up, keep using it

You want my fiction? Out of 31 vids shot between July and mid Aug 2008 for Brazilian TS only 8 were made with no fish eye camera. And contrary to your statement regarding the fish eye lense being used to show face cock and feet most of the shots are close ups of the girl's face or cock.

I cant tell stats for the other sites as I lost all my vids in ahard drive crash and Franks and Brazilain TS were the only 2 sites I have subscribed to again so far.

lol. So you never even had memberships to other Grooby sites - yet your original post was a general statement about ALL Grooby clips. Grooby has a lot of fucking video clips man.

I was gonna say I shoot A LOT of content for Yum and I've never used a fish-eye lens. However when used properly and sparingly I think they can be great.

Chill out man. Seanchai said he's not a fan either and is gonna get them to cut back. The proper response would be "Cool..thanks a lot. Appreciate the response." Instead your on a weird mission?

Have some more champagne and join Yum...very little scary fish-eye.

Ive had memberships to all of Grooby's sites except for Shemales from Hell and Joey Silvera. If you re-read my post I said since my hard drive crash I have only subscribed to Brazilian and Frank's. Before my HD crash I had prob 80% of the vid clips from all the sites. I remember seeing it on vids from multiple sites but the Brazilian one was the only one I could back up with file names.

And I only get on a "weird mission" when someone says I'm a liar

[tsntx]

just shoot the scene. It's porn not Star Wars!

idk the way some girls look youd think it was tho

Yeah, even some of the sets that we removed of models out of courtesy ...

i was the first to say that was a fag in drag

dont act for a second that i wasnt

it was one of my first posts


i have no beef w/ you or anything to do w/ you so cut the attitude w/ me that youve been throwing

[GroobySteven]

So do I. My original point and statement stand.

[sucka4chix]

I have had memberships on most of the Grooby sites and the only one that sticks out and literally GIVES ME A HEADACHE is Frank's. That lens honestly kept me from renewing---honestly.

There are ways to angle the camera so to get the whole girl in it. Those to me look as if they are vidcaps that were squeezed to a lower size screen setting. But if Steven says they are digital pictures then he knows better cause its his content.

Steven, are those vid caps or pictures - cause there would be a big difference...

If the fish eye is used in a more expressive creative way it could work. Sorta like "Guy knocks on door, TS looks through the peep hole to see who it is " vs vs.

It sometimes seems photographers that get payed a shit load of money are usually not as creative. They produce content well enough but never push the limits.

Porn doesn't have to be just to the point - Seems when someone tries something a bit different the fans always jump on their throats.

Let's try to encourage creativity and uniqueness because that is how the great content is made. I like porn with a certain visual difference. Similarly to the Japanese culture, which states that food should look as good as it tastes - so should porn.

A dash of creativity allows the viewer to digest the fantasy a little bit better.

Ohhhh and Drink More Wine! Happy New Year
