I think the "Jimmy is a VR genius" bit is overdone.
Firstly, the two videos available are Melody Marks and Jessie Pony - two of the best VR actresses around. Each have a sense of the medium and acting skills that far surpass many of the "first time in VR" models that SLR seems to favor. A lot of the polish of the scenes is because of them, not anything that the director did.
Secondly, these scenes are more notable for what they don't include than what they do - there isn't 15 minutes of armpit licking and foot-waving nonsense that Nash forces into every video, so they come across as more natural than vids where the model seems to be trying to mechanically progress through every kink imaginable.
Finally, some credit is due for using the correct angles that viewers have been asking for from Nash FOREVER. His SLR videos have become an exercise in annoyingly close and low seated positions, followed by giraffe-neck missionaries and laying positions that have your head coming out of your sternum.
What I mean by saying the Jimmy isn't a VR genius is that most, if not all, other directors from big studios also do these things correctly. It is only Nash that seems to refuse to learn from feedback and continues to use the worst angles while forcing in BS to try to appeal to every person in every video. Jimmy's videos are fairly banal, really, but they seem like such a breath of fresh air because we are so used to Nash's tortured efforts that a vid that is simply technically correct and not full of over-the-top nonsense and angle/position mistakes that other studios corrected in 2018 seems amazing.
VRSpy is a perfect example of these issues - the stories are interesting, the models are great, but the camera positions are awful, the armpit and foot crap is annoying, and too many of the vids are out of focus or have shitty color issues (often yellow). I want to like them, but they are always disappointing.
Nash used to be the best, but he needs to get out of his own way. The fact that Jimmy is making him look bad is the strongest evidence to date that he needs to examine his own hubris.
