  • 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.

    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 👍

      Agree 100%. Different angles are good at different things. There is usually a trade-off between intimacy and showing off the body. The angles that are good at intimacy often zoom in the performer's faces and have them leaning in. However, this distorts the body or tucks the performer's legs away.

      This is why it's important to have longer videos that feature multiple angles in the same sex positions. People will be able to enjoy the scene no matter what their preference is.

      Personally, I like to appreciate the performer's bodies while also getting a clear view of their faces. So I like to see a mix of the angles below:

      Missionary
      1) Intimacy focus - Zoomed in on face

      2) Face & Upper body focus

      3) Leg & Body Focus

      Cowgirl
      1) Upper body & face focus

      2) Leg & body focus

        I love boobs in face , and close body to body positions like this:

        This one is one of the best vr movies ever btw.

        This is also one of my favourite movies. Many body to body positions.

        This is good.

        This is one of the best positions for me. I always save videos that have this position in a special playlist. I also love the similar standing position, but frontally. Unfortunately I couldn't find a screenshot from an SLR movie.

        And this is one of the best moments in VR movies ever. Boobs in face and the girls are spitting

        This movie is also full of amazing positions.

        This is perfect

        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.

          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.

              LordCrash not everybody is happy with this consistency idea in general.

              But isn’t this (which you wrote further up) a call for exactly some sort of consistency? 👇🏻

              LordCrash just copy everything CVR does. VR porn gold standard right there. It's that simple.

              before you go and lose your mind, I do agree with it 100% as I’m sure many others do.

                You left out the first part of my sentence which is imho pretty importance for its meaning...

                LordCrash If you had to standardize angles...

                I'd much prefer no standardization at all.

                Even if you feature multiple positions, you still need different angles. Angles that are good at intimacy are not good at showing off the body.

                Let's take the shot below as an example:

                This is a great sex position for featuring the body, but the close viewing angle is not suited for it. It's virtually impossible to look at the body and the face together.

                Here is the actual view from my VR headset (Quest 2):



                I'm forced to look at the face, the body OR one leg in isolation. I would much rather be able to see the body and the face at the same time.

                Please feature multiple angles, closer ones for intimacy and further ones for showing off the body.

                  dango789 I will say that this also has to do with the headset you are using. I use to have an HTC vive and had to move my head around to see everything. I've had a Pimax 8kx for about 6 months now. You can see everything that you do IRL so you just have to move your eyes. I think this plays a part in the old camera new camera debate too. Just a thought one your screen shots.

                    rerun119 That's a great point! I'm using a Quest 2, which I gather to be one of the more common headsets.

                    It'd be awesome if we could have angles good for both intimacy and body that accommodate for the most common headsets.

                    The forward leaning CG in "Si, Mi Amor" was amazing (link below). Best i've seen. Eve Sweet's face was close to camera (near my face) and her tits and penetration were still in clear view (around the 29:40 mark). Very intimate and amazing visually. Wow!

                    Same great forward CG camera position on another recent SLR release, "Giving Her Comfort" with Valentina Nappi. (around the 28:28 & 37:10 mark). I hope a minute or two of this forward CG will be in every SLR release going forward.
