There is a new porn site phenomenon on the Internet that literally millions of amateur 'wannabee' porn stars and directions are using to get their videos, their personalities and their style of porn art out there for everyone to see. It is called Xtube and it has taken the 'underground' Internet ' amateur/homemade sex video scene by storm. It is kind of a high tech throw back to the very early days of the late 80's and early 90's when the only avenue to get your crass, uncouth, bumbling but 'real sex' homemade VHS videos out there was through underground swinger's magazines such as unReal People, Odyssey and the Swingers Connections regional magazines that those in the know knew where you could contact people of like minded thirst of every sexual deviance imaginable.We now live in the Information Age...The Internet age...instant communication throughout the world. And like the dude in the USA in the tv commercial said when he hit the button on his keyboard...'I just bought stocks in Hong Kong, that's China man!' Yea, and someone in Europe just watched a BLKMaarq Productions video clip on xtube.
Hey, I cut my teeth in the Amateur Industry on Swinger's mags back in the late 70's early 80's, , but it was the Internet of the early 90's where I honed my skills, found my following and became the #1 Amateur Interracial Porn star on the Internet...The title of which, even semi-retired I still own. But I am not here to talk about me but about how those experimenting with the new phenom of Xtube and this new explosion of amateur/homemade porn on the Internet can make their work so much better. I have been through the 'growing pains'...so listen up all you porn star and porn director 'wanna-bees'. Xtube is happening, and this is the place for you to show your stuff...everyone and anyone can do their thing out here, as long as it is legal, and it is a free site...but there are a few kinks that are so prevalent you wanna bees need to work out to get good at what we are all trying to do. Let me count the ways...LOL
There are three ways an amateur/ homemade porn video is shot. The first and best way of course is having a camera man there with you, so you can concentrate on doing your thing as he or she shoots . #2 is the POV....(point of view)...we called it 'point and shoot' back in the day), where one of the participants holds the camera and attempts to focus on shooting as they do the 'wild thing' for the camears. And lastly there is the infamous tripod style where you either place your camera on a stationary tripod or set the camera down somewhere after positioning it and hoping through all the bouncing up and down, you don't fall out of the view finder...yea, right!...lol...
Success with using either three of these means of shooting your movie revolve around how you position the camera, but that is not the first mistake most beginners make. The #1 thing you need to pay attention to that irks me to no end when people do not do it, is your lighting! There is nothing more frustrating to watch than a good porn movie where everything is dark and you cant see anything. And that is such a major bummer. And some people do it over and over. The action is great, the sound hot, but you can't see a thing. It's like Dustin Hoffman said in 'Mad City', "You're giving the people radio" and they want a movie! Might as well record it to your mp3.
#2 of course is the angle at which you shoot. Many newbies shooting POV get so caught up in the moment of what they are doing and the camera angles are on the knees or mid thigh or top of the head much too long, or with the tripod style user who places the camera on the dresser or end of the bed or a chair or even the floor, in such a way that you are constantly falling out of the scene and don't get the good stuff. Every time you change your position, the camera angle changes unless you get up every time before the switch and re-positioning the camera the right way. That is a lot of work. And you chance losing concentration as well as your woody. You have to stop, get up and then start again, but it can be done and some of the best videos I made in my early work was shot like that. Yea, you have to re focus and sometimes break up a good run of strokes, but the end result takes priority over your pleasure. That is when it becomes good pornographic art work. And the rough edges can be cleaned up in the editing room.
The 3rd biggest mistake newbies make is the sound issue. Either there is dead silence or neither of 'players' have a thing to say...Bummer...! I was the first in the business to start the dirty talk thing... people want to hear moaning and groaning and real life sex! But if you do find yourself with a final product with no sound, with all the new editing software you can add a sound track and that will make a difference, trust me. Their are very few things worse than a hot amateur porn movie with all the right visuals, but no sound. Unless it's the first one your watching...lol...Hey, I use to look at the pantie section of the Spiegle and Sears catalogues...lol.
Those are the big Three...take care of those three technical problems and you are almost there. Ignore them and you are off to a bad start. Remember, you want fans to keep coming back to check out your work.
Yea Xtube is allowing tons of new talent to show off their stuff and get noticed. There are video clips from every scene imaginable. Interracial, straight, gay, cds/tgirls/shemales, (the Third Sex as Handi Peters labeled and foresaw many years ago), along with people showing off their exhibitionist side, or thier own personal talent like taking the 12 inch dildo all the way...both guys and gals. This is the amateur/homemade porn site of the moment on the Internet. Inexpensive cameras cameras, fun editing software and the Internet...what a lethal combination...
In part 2 I will give you my take on some of the porn art work out there...and Google BLKMaarq and you will find my link to Xube and lots of other good stuff about yours truly. Hey, I did not get to be #1 for no reason.
O, and before I sign off...prompt to my girl Hillary Clinton and Michelle Obama...I will do my political thing at the end of the DNC...Let's talk about sex right now...:)
...too be continued...
