Improving Video Quality - Gonzo.com & Sineplex

Postby Vawkes » Wed Aug 10, 2016 6:13 pm

Hi. I've been a member of LegalPorno (LP) for a few months now and I have been really enjoying the content available on the site. Although, I just wanted to share my views on the picture quality which the three main studios are currently releasing. Overall, the quality is of a very good standard and as someone who downloads only 4K videos, LP offers some of the best around in this format.

[Giorgio Grandi]
Perfection! The highest quality video I have seen, particularly in regard to 4K video. Of the scenes I have purchased and downloaded from the Giorgio Grandi studio, they have all been superb in picture quality, in addition to the excellent content which is performed.

The example screenshot below is of Proxy Paige. It clearly shows great quality in terms of lighting - I'm thinking Giorgio uses an adequate amount of daylight to naturally illuminate the scene? Details are sharp and crisp throughout and the video always looks incredibly realistic, as in you actually feel there.

[Gonzo.com]
The Gonzo studio is generally good in terms of video quality, but can be rather hit and miss sometimes. The main issue I have is that scenes can at times look rather dull and lacking in true life colouring. However, other videos can look the complete opposite to this where they are much more vibrant, but perhaps more guilty of being too bright and overly white. I'm would imagine this is mainly due to the locations chosen and the lights being used.

An example I have used is of a recent Suzy Sun scene. It does look good with a lot of sharpness to details, but I'm sure you would agree that the scene looks overly grey and washed out. Natural colours do not look really exist with the white couch and skin colours all looking too similar. This most certainly has to be down to poor lighting at the location. Unfortunately, too many scenes from the Gonzo studio look like this.

[Sineplex]
A great studio who are filming many superb scenes, however, there is one major issue that frustrates me. This being that certain areas of the picture on screen can be out of focus, which I can only imagine is due to the director's style choice and the choice of camera lens. Other than this problem, I find Sineplex's scenes to be of great quality overall. My only other suggestion would be for some improved lighting. Scenes filmed on the couch in front of the wooden windowsill can lack a little brightness, depending on the time of shooting and how good the natural daylight from the window is.

The example screenshot of a Sineplex is actually an outdoor scene, but highlights my main issue about camera focusing. The centre of the picture is incredibly clear and is rather faultless. However, if you look towards the edges of the video and look in particular at Chanel's face, it is quite clearly blurred and out of focus. Also the trees behind her and the corner of the green cushion are the same. I find it is important for the entire screen to be in focus. In this example, I want to see the facial expression of Chanel as she is in the doggy position. Making this part of the screen less in focus does not add anything to the rest of the picture.

Therefore, I'm only offering some small constructive feedback to improve two sites in particular:

Gonzo.com: Find some consistency with lighting. A brighter scene, illuminated with natural daylight looks much better than the dull, grey video picture we often see.

Sineplex: Either change camera lens, or actual camera. This style of filming is just losing great content being created at the scene, especially if you are trying to film two women at once.

Overall, whatever Giorgio Grandi is doing, he is doing it right! Hopefully, Gonzo.com and Sineplex can create the same great video quality. Perhaps Giorgio could even share his key tips for delivering a perfect production and share these with the other studios to improve their quality? LP is a fantastic site and I believe they have a great future ahead.

I will just copy-paste here if you excuse me:

I hate strong overexposure (julesjordan, blacked, tushy) and I can't stand blur and color filters (21sextury, some Gonzo scenes).

Best examples of what I like from LP are most of Sineplex SOS movies (RS223, RS248 etc) and GIO as long as he avoids color filters and too much light (best combo is GIO207). I also liked the idea of "darker" movies (SZ1413, 1414) but I suggest more low-key lighting instead, more shadows and contrast. It shouldn't be just dark (SZ1394 is impossible to watch)


This topic can be useful: viewtopic.php?f=96&t=12554

Sineplex: please do not go high-key too much, bring in more rich, natural and ambient color. Best examples are RS223, RS248 - keep it like that ;)

Gonzo: you film amazing beauties, but consistency and improvements are needed not only in terms of lighting but also in terms of filming style. I suggest more full shot (at least 70%) so we could actually see those beautiful female bodies from head to toe, their amazing physique and of course outfits :cool:

Closeups are good, but only sometimes for penetration or to show 'results' of good action (some gapes, cumshots etc), but NOT ALL THE TIME, please ;)
30% closeup is good enough for me.

My 2 cents ;)

GG: Since approx. 2 months ago really nothing to complain about IQ wise.
By far the best camera used, now imagine that with cinematic lens :eek: :cool:

Gonzo: Hit and miss. Sometimes burnt highlights all over the place, sometimes dark shadows AND burnt highlights, I'm confused.

But sometimes the IQ is very good, like:

Sineplex: Hit and Miss with Miss most of the time. There were some with better colors and exposure, ie: RS236, RS252, RS258,
but still overall IQ and dynamic range is shit. I really wonder if it's the camera or the operator
My favs - Florane Russell, Kristy Black, Kattie Gold, Linda Sweet, Charlotte Sartre, Chelsey Sun, Lady Bug, Rebecca Sharon, Eloa Lombard, Amina Danger

Giorgio's new look is awesome! :eek:


Gonzo is looking pretty much perfect these days too! Their colors pop again :cool:

Billy Star's latest is as prime example of the improved quality! ;)

Sineplex is looking much better these days too! The blue halo seems to have disappeared :)
