New Video Format
Hey goon squad,
Half a year ago or so I became a subscriber of Aznheroine. They are a couple that produces Superheroine content thats filmed POV on a iPhone. I was inspired by their occasional use of the vertical video format – sometimes its nice to watch something on a smartphone thats made in a smartphone format.
In case you don’t know AZN – link below
A year or so ago I announced my LoFi themed films – as I have shot them (this part may not make sense as I have only released 1 of these films so far) the format/quality of the films has changed with each film. What went initially from a natural light setup as now evolved into something more produced and colorful. One experiment I did on a recent LoFi shoot was a vertical filmed iPhone video (which was shot alongside the more standard format film).
And I began wondering – how many of you may prefer this format in place of horizontal LoFi films.
I want to give it a name – to properly promote it so people understand what exactly they are buying without having buyers remorse.
TUGGY VIDEO
I thought the name ‘Tuggy’ would be appropriate as well as playful – being that it explains exactly how the format is intended to be used… you can hold your phone vertically with one hand – while doing a Tuggy with the other. (the photo above is a screenshot of a upcoming ‘Tuggy’ video)
‘Tuggy’ Videos IMO would be relatively short (the magical ten minute window to complete the simple objective) they would be simple and straight forward in nature (no elaborate plots, just good ole Tug inspiring content) and THEY WILL BE CHEAP. So you buy it casually, use it casually and get to Tugging.
‘Tuggy’ Videos would be quick and cheap for me to make, could maybe in the future show up on a weekly basis and could fulfill a need of a cheap price bracket usually only held by smaller producers.
I would like to hear more about if this kind of content is something the audience would like to see. So please share and discuss your opinions below.
Last post regarding recent work
I have bought a Silk and Gwenom suits for AZn heroine since I liked her content!
Not neccesarily a fan of the aspect ratio she uses, still prefer to watch videos horizontally, but I do enjoy how her heroines wiggle and contort in pain without neccesarily having to show a highly choreographed fight first.
Many SHIP videos could use that kind of reactions and the heroine flailing in the floor or trying to crawl away after a devastating move, so I love you promote small producers!!
A couple days ago on SHF, Christina Carter said she had been saving custom orders some money here and there by filming on her phone instead of with a crew, but I’m thinking she probably meant full vista horizontal rather than vertical closeups like this. But maybe both can work? And you’re right, the colors pop tremendously on some high-end cellphones.
I mean of course both could work but – the only benefit for me of shooting on the phone would be to hold it vertical POV as a cinema camera is too heavy to hold and not wide lens enough to get a decent POV BJ
Watching something that looks like it’s shot of a shitty phone. God no. Just why? It looks terrible. It looks cheap. If you want to save money don’t shoot anything at all. Or do and be shocked when you don’t make any money doing it. It least it saves my money. I’d never buy it ever.
Ironically – I decided to pursue this as a potential new avenue because of how good the footage looks. I actually like how to iPhone showcased skin tone against the colored lightning setup vs how skin toned was rendered on my very expensive camera setup.
As someone who has been doing pro camera work for the better part of almost two decades I like to think I have pretty good taste when it comes to visuals, IMO the Tuggy videos fall within what I’d consider an enjoyable visual standard
I’m always fine with cheap videos. And I like the concept.
Cheap. Sucky. Tuggy.
Is this an upcoming release?
It is
I am reminded of the difference between minimal and natural as explained in Boogie Nights: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=leZgZGG1E1Q
I loathe vertical video. And get off my lawn.
But if anyone can make creative lemonade from vertical video, you can, so I might give yours a shot.
I don’t see the value in the cutesy name, either — you still have to label and describe it and add a boldface NOTE which somebody’s still gonna miss — but if I was going that way I’d go all the way to QikTug.
I still like the name Tuggy, cause I like to be cute
Cute as a pail full of kittens.
I can almost see the cartoon mascot.
“Tuggy” is pure genius…
Yeah the vertical way of holding the phone it could be used to make more movies with Ashley pissing. With the vertical phone, you can show the piss stream longer than with the horizontal phone.
If it ain’t a custom: I will never pay out of pocket to make piss content. Just a heads up
Lmaooooo this comment has me dying
For the love of god, please tell me that was a joke.
I dig it.
Maybe the villain forces the heroine to humiliate herself on her social media, etc.
Yea Damien that’s a potentially novel idea similar to what you did with “End of SHL” could provide some great context and I always enjoy public humiliation and seeing audience reactions
Maybe one day I should just do an actual live stream – like people can watch a heroine actually get humiliated live in real time
The sound effects for regular movies are edited in afterwards so that slaps, for example, can be faked. That could prove challenging in a live stream.
Not unless soundbites are used in real time like some podcast where they throw noises in to enhance the show
I didn’t know this, thanks for informing me
ooooh! sarcasm 😉
It could work interactively on a camsite like cb. You could have a tip menu for groping, spanks etc. Users could RP as villains paying to humiliate their hated enemy.
would purchase something like this in a heartbeat
Are you referring to a livestream?
I am, I would be all in on this
i dig this idea a lot… and love that photo of Supergirl (Claire if i’m not mistaken?). I enjoyed the LoFi release with her and would love to see more of her – she has a great body and love seeing a mature heroine taken down a peg, even better if its by a young female villain 🙂 also i like the idea of something short and sweet. a solid beat down, some groping, fondling, and then a quickie (simulated or not) to give a tuggy to, and i’m a happy man. there’s been a lot of really impressive looking… Read more »
I’m always willing to give something a try but I don’t think I’m particularly interested in this point of view of at all. This will definitely be a preferential thing for a lot of people, I’m sure. I don’t really watch this kind of content on my phone at all (in fact, I strictly keep it off of my phone. Something about having any porn/kink history on the device I carry with me everywhere while I’m seeing anyone and everyone and use for work and stuff). And I can kind of see what you said about the level of intimacy… Read more »
Where buy button?
I’ve been subbed to Aznheroine for a while too (albeit on her OnlyFans page). One thing to point out is that her videos are more superheroine “reactions” so you won’t see any “violence” in her videos, its just sort of implied. However, she is incredibly sexy (her moaning sounds of anguish in particular are awesome!) in the way she reacts and writhes around. Her videos feel very “amateur” but they seem extra hot because of it – like you’re in the bedroom with her! And that makes me super curious about these new videos from you Damien…. We all love… Read more »
AZN def has to be strategic as to not violate TOS for the services they are using, so there are words or content they simply can’t show or say.
But I agree, the handheld POV video format does have a sense of intimacy you won’t get out of my bigger projects. I personally really enjoy the format, so I wanted to play with it
Yeah you are right about the TOS. I ordered a custom from her and I remember she saying no choking of any kind could be shown on the video. Just a reaction afterwards.
Still really enjoy her content for what it is, her moaning is definitively next level, and you are right about the intimacy part. That’s why I love some selfies thrown in with any photoset I custom order
