Help SLR Originals nailing down the angles consistently

One import general remark about positions is to be able to match the perspective of the scene with reality and align your body to that of the male performer. When this is done well it will feel far more immersive and natural. When it's done badly it's really hard to get a feeling that your in the scene and not watching something on a screen.

I think every position should be checked with something like a quest pro with the passthrough on 50% opacity. Can I match the perspective (align the floor with my room) and still sit, lie down, etc. and match my body to the actor? Can I do this while having my body in a relaxed natural position? Is the size of "my" body correct, are my legs roughly at the same size and is my virtual dick at the right place ?

I still see this going wrong all the time (it might be hard due to males having heads and all ) but imo this is the foundation for a good angle. I still often find positions where you cannot match the perspective: without breaking your neck, whithouth looking in the world at a strange angle, without being like a drone hovering just above the head of the male or when you match the floor your body is almost underneath you, etc.
Another thing that you'll often see is that the male body is in the wrong position relative to the origin of the camera. E.g. your body in the scene is to small, your head is not where it should be, the up down angle in relation to your body is unnatural or even impossible.

I think the SLR Originals are doing a pretty good job at this most of the time. But there are also times that it can be improved. Still, doing a "passthrough check" like mentioned in the above is essential imo.

fenderwq youre right and thats another area that could be improved. the up-down position of the camera relative to the body as well as the forward-back position need to look believable for maximum immersion. sometimes in standing positions the camera is too far forward of the body.

LordCrash People have different opinions, expectations, fantasies, perceptions. There is no way to make everyone happy with every scene, so simply allow different approaches and different ways of shooting stuf

What he said.

Philip I don't want that. I want a greater variety of positions, not one standard format. It gets boring. It would be nice to have the positions work better for immersion. To me, nothing breaks immersion more than a poorly shot scene of the woman coming in for a kiss and you can clearly see her kissing and tonguing air about 6 inches from where my face should be. I also wish directors would give us guys some credit, does a woman's fake moans and constant "oh that's sooooo big", etc. is a total turn off. Better they say nothing.

I like the kissing up close as possible but kissing into the cam, cuz sometimes the model will kiss where about the mouth would be if the camera had a mouth,

kiss into the cam

anything too far away and it's virtually worthless

More examples of good angles

This thread is the perfect example of people's diverse preferences. Everybody's providing such different angles.

You will alienate many users if you only offer a restricted set of angles. Shoot long videos featuring multiple angles in each sex position. Allow users to watch what we like. Please don't take options away from us.

Philip This thread is a perfect example how people read between lines. I'm not suggesting taking away any "angles" positions, just merely making those that producers shoot consistent across production in how they look

There are positions and there are angles. You DO want to take away certain angles by making them "consitent". That's the whole point of this thread, isn't it?

Consistent angles = only one angle for a certain position in the future

Maybe you should just accept that not everybody is happy with this consistency idea in general.
