1. I think it's much easier for the producer and the actors to handle.
2. In my opinion, POV style is good for the viewer when it comes to vanilla sex scenes. It is then less hardcore and more softcore or erotic. But when it comes to fetish or gangbang scenes, the non-POV style offers much better opportunities to see what's interesting. For me, fetish and hardcore porn is much more about the voyeur aspect of pornography and less about the pretense of a sexual act.
3. To me, the terms "POV" and "non-POV" are pretty nonsensical anyway, since the technology itself creates the immersion. My "point-of-view" is where the camera is, no matter if another man's body is at that spot. It would just be a pity if in a Gorgio Grandi film, where so much happens, the camera would always film only one spot for such a long time, as it is the case with POV style scenes.
4. I would also prefer a free-moving camera to a fixed position, if it is possible to move it smoothly and also keep it in a fixed position for a short time. I never had motion sickness. I like the feeling when the camera moves slowly.
5. The suggestion to shoot the scenes exactly as always, only with a VR camera, I find not so bad. I had already wished for that from many studios and it could be quite good, especially here.
VR versions of "The Wonder Toys Training Studio" and "XfreaX - Behind the scenes" would also be a dream.
First of all, great to see more people joining the discussion. A couple thoughts:
Non POV - In regards to non POV being better, I mostly agree. I definitely think it's the best place for Giorgio to start filming gonzo larger group scenes. I went back to watch the SexLikeReal (also on SinsVR) Billie Star gangbang - Blonde Big Tits Group Sex Gangbang. It's filmed entirely in non pov with Angelo Godshack and a few others (one at least I recognize from this site). This scene zooms in and out slowly, it pans around slowly, the camera really isn't fixed, and I didn't get sick on that one. So I think that video is a great model for Giorgio to replicate. The key is to get woman's head level closeups of blowjobs from the side, closeups of gapes, etc. The way that scene handles the cum in mouth at the end is also just about perfect. The only thing it lacked from this site's perspective was anal, but from a technical standpoint that's a great model to start with.
POV -I said "only" mostly agree with you because I've seen POV handled really well in some group scenes. For example, the new Katy Rose MMMF scene, GangBang for Student Slut (which is on both SLR and povr I think, and is an anal scene), does a good job showing the action with all the guys, but getting some POV/closeup face/staring into eyes shots from Katy. However, these "staring into the eyes" shots can be done non POV as well, as it always is, like you said. I would just want to leave room for occasional POV experimentation. The camera in that Billie scene, for example, seems to be small/mobile enough that one of the actors could have picked it up and done a quick POV piledriver sequence, for example.
Overall though, I tend to agree for the larger group scenes with a bunch of hardcore content filming just like the Billie Star scene would be perfect.
