Adult Vids going HD: FINALLY!

Looks like HD is going to finally get tapped by the porn industry. Hopefully this will help drive down the prices like it did with all the other technology.

HEADLINE: Adult vid leads biz to promised land: HD

BYLINE: Claude Brodesser

BODY: Adult-film helmer Joone made history last week, becoming the first porn director to release a movie in high-definition DVD.

Whether his "Island Fever 3" will be remembered as fondly as the Buggles' "Video Killed the Radio Star" (the first video ever played on MTV) remains to be seen. But his skin flick does raise interesting questions about the future of the DVD biz --- adult and otherwise.

Much has already been made about the changes ultra-sharp HDTV will wreak on newsdesk anchors --- every nick and blemish magnified, foundation that looks like pancake makeup --- but no one spared a thought for the plight of porn stars --- until now.

"I had to tell the girls, 'Make sure you get a lot of sleep the night before --- I don't want to see bags under your eyes!' " Joone recalls.

The helmer says HD DVD is changing everything about the business of porn: HD costs roughly 20% more in post-production, and the bulky HD cameras mean shoots last longer, even if the actors can't. Overnight, skilled makeup artists have become a must; frequent applications are required for performers who, uh, sweat a lot.

Homevideo execs at the majors and Microsoft --- which helped with HD posting and mastering on the project --- will no doubt be monitoring sales of the HD "Island Fever 3."

That's because Joone's last experiment, the Virtual Sex series (in which one can change the aspect ratio so it appears the viewer is actually having sex with the star) helped popularize mainstream DVDs. With it, suddenly everyone could be a director at home.

"The way I see it, independent film sort of died in the early '90s when Miramax got bought by Disney," Joone says. "HD is changing that. I'm hoping people see sex as just the commercial that pays for the movie."

Cool Since porn on tape helped drive down the cost of VHS, I'm hoping it does the same for HD! Now we just need a HD Spice channel.

DirecTV has one. I think it's on channel 98 - High Definition pay-per-view porn. I haven't bought a movie, yet, but I hear that having HD porn is not necessarily a good thing; sometimes it is better to not see everything so clearly...

It's true that generally speaking, porn drives tech. The internet absolutely wouldn't be what it is today without porn.

That said... I just really don't need to see porn in HD.

HD for porn, where you can see that ass-pimple even more clearly.

That's the first thing I thought. I could see HD porn actually lowering sales.

This is my concern as well. There might be a bad side to pron in HD. The old blurred VHS tapes do wonders for some of the not-so-hot women in the industry. Hopefully they will be selective on who is in these HD films.

Can't wait to see them though!

you just never bought the right porn It never really did anything except give you more hours to watch from different angles. Audio still was of the main angle so it wasn't synced very well.

I think it's a great idea, even if imperfections become more visible. Hell. It's people up there. If I was after total perfection, I'd stick with hentai ;-)

I don't even have a HD tv. They're still too damn expensive. Since everything is pretty much driven by either porn or sex, this will hopefully help drive the costs down.
