I don't even watch GG previews anymore, the flashing editing is intolerable, and even when there is a fave,like Francys Belle, it looks like typical porn by the numbers and the actual girl is irrelevant.
Nick Rock started off good, but has fallen into the GG "style" of checklist porn. Boring.
Some of the Giorgio Labs are decent, exclusive of the GG ones which are a YAWN/Fast Forward; but much is getting pretty vanilla, why bother. Included here Oliver Strelly, Mutt and Jeff (or whatever the two guys names are. The Erica Korti stuff that includes her as a dom is usually pretty good, but the rest is just more of the same.
the ONLY improvement I've seen at analvids is the inclusion of the Valter Karo Studio. It's mostly 1:1 or 2:1, but those numbers are fine with me. I don't need a circus with too many clowns. The standout is the camera work. It is excellent. The action is hot and flows normally from one position to the next. Lighting is good, shooting natural light and a warmer tone from the sterile cold overexposed studio lighting that seems prevalent at analvids. The guys fuck the girls hard and it is well captured, compositons are very good, with few momnets of a mexican jumping bean cameraman. He has NO dildos, but fingers instead.
I hope Valter Karo does not get contaminated by the capes, and dildos and 15 on one, and awkward positions and lousy camera work and insipid direction.
His stuff is good now, will it last?
I can't say I've seen improvement is the standard fare and certainly NOT from the majors.
This whole thread makes me wonder of this it a "friendly fire" thread trying to drum up interest in creatively-failing directors and camera work.
You are hitting nails left and right here.
I can't watch GG-trailers either due to all the cutting and I don't really like the style of content he tends to shoot either, so I guess I simply fall outside of his demographics.
VK-studio has definitely been a breath of fresh air with cute girls and stand-out camerawork, for the Russian studios at least. Their best new girl's haven't started DP yet, so that's something they will have to improve to keep me interested.
Gonzo was good when they had the best male performers, and that alone was able to compensate for uninspiring settings and styling, but with the crew they currently employ, the things I don't like outweigh the positives in most cases. Yummy on the other hand has a good crew, nice locations and solid production values, but with the exception of Candy Crush, the models don't really interest me. The studio definitely has potential but need to scout more teen talents IMHO. NT-studio has probably improved the most, but they started at a very basic level with regards to production values and still doesn't reach Yummy level. They do have some nice girls though.
I thought N&F studio showed great potential when they first started out, mostly due to their styling and scenarios, but content-wise they have gone completely sideways from what I'm interested in, so I don't really care anymore, besides from watching the occasional trailer.
NRX is probably where I have spent most of my tickets, but for no other reason than the outstanding models they manage to recruit and their willingness to progress quickly. Camerawork has been a mess since the start, but Mia Piper's scene was a big improvement from the previous NRX-scenes I bought, possibly due to the fact that it was a 1on1, but I'm hoping the improvement will carry over to scenes with multiple performers as well. A lot of things are often hit and miss though, mostly due to some average male performers and too much focus on inventiveness, rather than competence, when it comes to the actual fucking. I think that if NRX were able to book some veteran male performers such as Ed Junior and Ian Scott, once the pandemic situation calms down, and just let them do their work on their best girls, sales would go through the roof for those scenes.
