Typically, porn is on the cutting edge with tech like this, but in this case, so many other types of videos were created with dSLR's first. Makes total sense to us for porn to step their shit up already.<br /><br />But yes, it doesn't just come down to tech, this new style of porn we want is all about taste, style and nuance, you've hit it on the head. Thanks for sharing!<br /><br />-RyeViolet+Ryehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05830163516421367560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7413346588619993246.post-76012360123013051582012-03-06T21:19:59.918-05:002012-03-06T21:19:59.918-05:00Thanks Johnny, that's incredibly kind of you t...Thanks Johnny, that's incredibly kind of you to say!

Somehow, although the market has done a great job of catering to every fetish and taste there is, it's done a piss-poor job of catering to GOOD taste, to the fetishization of subtlety, nuance, style.<br /><br />You guys are leading the way, and the people you're highlighting are, too. X-Art is the closest I've seen in VOLUME production of porn to what you're talking about, to what I like. But I'm grateful for the effort you guys are making.N.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15740203652762792344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7413346588619993246.post-85084797214368148392012-03-04T23:10:42.825-05:002012-03-04T23:10:42.825-05:00Very tasteful, you guys are fantastic at editing, ...Very tasteful, you guys are fantastic at editing, filming, music choices...

Which isn't what we're into at all. We wouldn't have started this blog at all if we didn't think shit should and CAN change.<br /><br />And your suggestion about making "real art" is just plain silly. We all know art is in the eye of the beholder. For all you know, we already are making art in some people's eyes.<br /><br />Plus, if it's projected on the wall of some fucking museum, it's gonna be frowned upon if I start jerking off to it, which is the end goal we're really shooting for here.<br /><br />Also, Mast Brothers is INCREDIBLY overrated.<br /><br />-RyeViolet+Ryehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05830163516421367560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7413346588619993246.post-85228330451162987482012-03-03T21:26:24.433-05:002012-03-03T21:26:24.433-05:00I understand wanting to apply shallow depth of fie...I understand wanting to apply shallow depth of field to a million porn penises but seriously, the premise of this post is like asking why can't all chocolate be Mast Brothers chocolate when 99.9% are clearly satisfied with Hershey's. My advice is to try making real art, not porn, and make it erotic and exciting, and get it in a museum. Porn is always going to be bad, but at the same time, its badness is what makes a genuine hollywood sex scene something special and exciting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7413346588619993246.post-16375145794119875422012-03-03T09:03:40.659-05:002012-03-03T09:03:40.659-05:00I mean, as a Brooklyn hipster who is willing to ge...I mean, as a Brooklyn hipster who is willing to get naked and have sex on camera, I tend to disagree with you. I do agree that most of the porn-watching audience is probably fine with the status quo, but just because the majority says something doesn't mean we have to stick with it. What about those of us who do care? What about women who like to watch porn, but can't find anything that is geared toward them? Dont we deserve to have access to honest, nice-looking, different porn that appeals to us? <br /><br />That's what we're here for, and that's what we're hoping to inspire in others. <br /><br />- Violet.Violet+Ryehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05830163516421367560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7413346588619993246.post-32602565749282143362012-03-03T07:21:11.512-05:002012-03-03T07:21:11.512-05:00Let's face it, people willing to get naked and...Let's face it, people willing to get naked and have sex on camera don't have the same kind of production talent as indie hollywood and brooklyn hipsters. They haven't mastered the camera, lighting, sound, nothing. They are propping the genitals up and filming it. When someone talented starts making porn they probably won't make money with artistic stuff either.

But just hearing all of our voices in unison makes me think that there are enough people being underserved by the mainstream porn industry for us to have a little revolution. Best case scenario, we help change the way people approach sex, sexuality, their partners, etc. And if not? At least we've got some sexy shit to watch!<br /><br />- Violet.Violet+Ryehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05830163516421367560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7413346588619993246.post-24054616647673122752012-03-02T06:21:47.792-05:002012-03-02T06:21:47.792-05:00Just wanted to say thanks for the shout out.

Even when I find something promising, there's always one or two little details that make it a no-go item for the blog. <br /><br />I do believe that porn is getting better though, and the existence of blogs like yours along with independent producers like Camille and Lilyanne are a ray of hope.

We went to YouPorn and I remember asking why all the videos lasted 3-4 minutes. He looked at me as if I was mad, and said, 'because that's how long it takes for a guy to come'.
