  • SLR Originals is getting back to 8K Canon production

doublevr Part of the problem is that production team got greatly disconnected with user side of things. They really enjoyed shooting on Canon, yet didn't realise how poor the quality is. Also I'm surprised video-editing team didn't notice it either.

The quality on the Canon wasn't poor at all. Why do you spread such false information?

Some people had issues with the scale, especially on their Quest 2 rigs, but the picture quality was much better than anything you ever produced on your 6k rig. That's just a fact.

Hunky-Dory you are probably just a porn consumer and not more familiar with the production side of things, but that's ok. Just dont assume a camera is not "good enough" because some amateur producers give you bad image quality out of a camera. They dont know how to use the camera, let alone expose and shoot properly on RAW with correct color correction.

    Ageed that this comment is tone-deaf. You admitted that the Canon rig is "not made for porn" and that the sweet spot for scale is 1 - 2 meters away. If that is the case, the camera is, indeed, shit for VR porn. You can't just go on about image quality and color grade and ignore an issue like scale in VR. VR is all about tricking the senses into immersion, and 5' 2" girls looking 7' tall screws that up so bqadly that extra image quality and color correction don't ameliorate the harm.

      Will65 you need to read back on the thread before you make baseless points. I was merely telling him that his criticism of the cameras contrast and colors being bad, which is absolutely wrong. This is a cinema camera and just because these amateur porn studios dont know how to properly use a cinema camera does not mean the camera does not perform well in those aspects. I actually agreed with him on the scaling, because its not meant for closeup subjects, so get your intel right

      Will65 You can't just go on about image quality and color grade and ignore an issue like scale in VR. VR is all about tricking the senses into immersion,

      People need to learn that "tricking the senses into immersion" can work pretty differently for different people...

        Hunky-Dory I am out of touch? You apparently know nothing of the technical capabilities of the actual camera you are making claims has shit contrast and colors????? I agreed with you on the scaling part, not the other issues. I was letting you know that those other complaints are due to amateur users, not the camera's shortcoming.

        Also, by the way, i have no affiliation with SLR so I could care less about your subscription, it has no effect on me. I do this crap on my own and I own and operate all of my equipment and dont sell any of it anywhere. As far as SLR is concerned I am just another consumer of their content just like you.

        There is no standard VR cam suited for VR porn since there's simply nobody producing these cams specifically for porn. All good rigs are custom made and tailored to fit the purpose.

        LordCrash that may be true but I can only speak as a consumer and I have found most of FuckpassVR and VRHush content for months utterly unwatchable with the Canon 8k camera. Not only is the scaling way off in most scenes but the women’s bodies and the surroundings are actually distorted out of shape. The picture quality is often grainy and shit as well.

        You don’t need to go to this awful camera when plenty of other sites manage to make scenes look great without it.

          You don't need to get back to SLR's shitty 6k camera either...

            LordCrash People need to learn not to argue about perception with people with advanced degrees in perceptual neuroscience 😉

              spacepirate I don’t really stick around long enough to notice! You can literally see pictures on the wall though that convex inwards towards you and, in doggy style, the girls ass is totally misshapen. That’s without even mentioning the whole giant size issue. The owner of VRHush/Fuckpass said months upon months ago that they’d stopped using the Canon 8k for their new US scenes (the Euro crew never used it) but that they had some stuff already in the can to be released. Unless he lied, it’s crazy how much of a backlog of scenes they shot with this that they’re still releasing these botched scenes so many months later. Does no one quality check their own scenes? Surely the issues should’ve been picked up after a few scenes not after 100.

                Perfect example for people with advanced degrees who still know pretty much nothing,

                New cam alert, sounds pretty good, guy say 8k live streaming

                Here's another cam, called calf, guy says no stitching needed and you can edit videos in your vr headset with the app calf, I downloaded it and it's kinda like a vr tiktok 🤷‍♂️ it's free on side quest by app lab

                Teche looks good but it only does 30fps, and CALF would be almost unusable for VR porn, have you seen the weird artifacts it adds at the top and bottom, it's like a bad AI fill. The footage is ok for subjects not within a few feet from the camera but can you imagine how bad that would look from a POV.
                I think its great that more and more companies are putting out new cameras, I love it, but these are just not it. The only real good cameras by these chinese companies are the FMDUO cameras which are insanely expensive but can do 12k in 30fps or 8k in 60fps.
                I'm still willing to bet that a few more manufacturers will get in on the action and we might get a better camera in the next year or two.

                  Oh. 🤦‍♂️

                  Still cool looking cams tho.
                  I'm waiting for these cell phones to be able to film vr 180, that be cool. If it ever happens. 🤷‍♂️
