In a white room... on a white couch

This latest Crystal scene everything is sterile clinical white again. The girl's body is 100% white.

Instant skip for me when a scene looks like this, that's why I quit watching 90% of American gonzo porn.

In the preview pics it was nice and natural:

The final thing is more like this:

:confused: :confused: :confused:

Please GIORGIO fix this and bring back ambient light and rich natural colors.

Thank you!

I am sorry but I am hardly going to step back. I believe DSLR color (thats how its cal this setting) can make the "gonzo" one step higher then before. IMHO porn doesnt need to look natural, but it needs to look beautiful.

Your scenes look amazing at the moment Giorgio, well lit, pin sharp but with good use of focus, the girls look incredible and the direction and action is superb. You have combined the more artistic style quite popular now with harder action.
Do not change a thing (ok, a little more fisting is always welcome) your recent scenes look as good as anything I have ever seen.

Clearly there are two parties out there, one who loves the "legacy" look aka GG Exclusive look (vibrant colors, lower key light) and other who
loves the "new" much desired polished classy glamorous high key look.
A lot of people including me even a few years ago were predicted way before Greg Lansky launched Blacked that bringing glamorous into hardcore porn is "the next level" of hardcore porn/gonzo (I remember Giorgio last year talking about gonzo being dead and now he's talking gonzo again :D , see I told you...).
IMHO I think there's no way back for Giorgio, I even think going for HDR in 4k is the "next step" in porn (apart from going for 360 videos)

Technically, I don't wanna go much into the detail, but Giorgio apparently makes a good use of high dynamic range capability of his new camera. Didn't watch Crystal 5 on 1 yet, but from the trailer, I might be sometimes too bright in highlights, but I will see in the full scene..

^ I don't know much about those terms, this is the way I see the current situation:

^ :D :D interesting expression...
So it seems you are like the legacy look.

I like kinda both, the only think I liked about the legacy look better was it looked more "fleshy", more "lively" (despite having some dark shadowy area which I hate in porn).

And I also didn't liked the previous new look before the new camera and a first few ones with the new one.
I just think you must evolve and come up with new ideas to keep up with trends and customers' demands.

I think we can discuss the nuances for ages, but anyways the final decision would be always up to the producer.

I think HDR would be awesome and so some 360 footage. If not 360, then at least use GoPro from the girl's POV (great for cumshots and DAP).

^ Aping identical US crap at every turn is not the best approach if you ask me.

Well, I hope when mainstream copycats die in a sterile white light box, porn will turn around and go back to the roots: Assman series, Seymore Butts, Euro Angels, so on and so forth.

People will praise and admire new directors, because by that time they will have forgotten what natural color is.

I love the look of your scenes Giorgio! :cool:

It is beautiful indeed! :eek:

The white room / white couch is the best! (with colorful decor of course) ;)

Keep up the great work! :D

Giorgio's scenes look absolutely fantastic! I hope everything stays the same for the foreseeable future.

GIO218 Lara's perversions:

Looks like the extra white bleaching was removed and it looks much better now,
color is more natural and details are more crisp and clear without any white or grey filter.

It is still a bit too white and bright from some angles but in general I see improvement :cool:

Good job! Keep it up! ;) ;) ;)
