Who is shooting in 8K
 

A little overkill but i know some sites are shooting in 8K. Spam away sponsors

I would be shooting my stuff in 8K simply so I could zoom in and not lose quality in the edit, but I noticed you said sponsors, and I'm not shooting porn...

8KCash.com have launched 8KTeens.com and 8KMILFS.com

I had two 8K domains: 8KTeen.com and 8KTVPorn.com that I was letting expire when I got the email newsletter from them announcing it. I promptly renewed my names - one or two days before they would have been deleted.

I'm not a tech expert, but I think the value of 8K resolution might be in viewing on a virtual screen through AR or smartglasses, which we'll probably all be doing in a few years.

worth watching in 8k if you´ve a massive screen...

personally my 42 inch is good for HD :2 cents:

You don't shoot in 8k so your members can stream 8k videos, you should 8k so that you can crop 1080 or 4k if you need to. Also future proofing.

That sounds a bit too much . . .

yeah you need a 20 TB drive for 1 scene lol. nop thanks

:2 cents::2 cents:

You shoot in 8K so you can see every pore and terrible skin care routine an average porn star actually has.

Whoops said the quiet part out loud.

Also if you are shooting VR as the resolution is split between the two sides. Most of the top VR porn studios shoot in 8K now, some are experimenting with 12K. I think I read recently that there is a new 16K VR camera available that the studios are probably going to start using soon.

And even watching a VR movie in 8K (so 4K) the image does not look pin sharp at all, because the viewer is so close to the screen, and the image takes up the entire FOV.

As I said, in 5 years time everybody will be watching movies on virtual big screens through AR/smart glasses. Millions already do in bulky VR headsets such as the Meta Quest 3 or the Apple Vision Pro. And yes, millions will jerk off to watching porn wearing lightweight smart glasses. In that case, 8K will become the standard.

BTW, I sold the domain name 16KPorn.com a couple of years ago for $550. I think I sold it cheap.

Haha, true. Then again, they said the same thing about 4K, and probably HD before that.

It's very true in 8K VR though - pornstars who look good in 2D can look rank in VR. You not only see them in high-resolution 3D, they are close to the camera/viewer too. You get to see just how many layers of makeup they have on. And when they have duck lips or had nose jobs, it's a huge turnoff.

I was at a seminar at Phoenix Forum when someone said that about HD :1orglaugh

Are you sure you mean 20TB and not 20GB ?
I always thought that 1 minute of 8K was around 2GB, depending on the fps settings.

Porn is an intimate watching experience, not sitting in an amphitheatre and watching with 30,000 others...

For porn, 2K is as good as is needed. Anything above is just a waste and gadgetry :2 cents:

I do NOT get this crop or future proofing :helpme

I shot half the scenes for my old paysite in SD, content not really usable anymore :1orglaugh

They were both right. I also said the same thing about 16 X 9 and I was right about that as well.

It's simple. The higher the resolution, the more you can crop if you deliver in 1080 or 4K. you can cut between wide and tight, move the frame and generally do more manipulation, but you always have the higher resolution master. And with tech today, if you have your original in 16 X 9, you can interpolate into some pretty good looking 4 or 6K video.

Oh definitely, my reply was more tongue in cheek since I believe quality is key to everlasting content. That's why Playboy can bust out a film roll from the 1960's and make it look like today (save for the torpedo tits and beehive hair cut).

Don't knock that shit. It sells. :)

I went to a party at his place. Man, did he stink of perfume. Second weirdest night of my life.

We have ALL our content on our site going all the way to 2003 when we started. We started HD in about 2007, yet we shot then our "old" ( pre 2007) SD content in 4:3 ( as most did) BUT framing in 16:9 safe. Once HD become a norm we just took the 4:3 reframed to 16:9, and because we had a good quality lighting, our SD content is still selling and never had any complaints.Most viewers do not notice the difference.

One thing I do not get... why would I crop anything? We shoot and edit a movie...once finished no need to do anything to it... we deliver in 16:9 and in 1080

I get what you are saying for sure. But if you shot in 8K, but you deliver in 1080, and say you want to update as time goes on, you have that capability. Also, should you decide, say you want to start producing some 1080 by 1920, you will be zooming in and auto centering and recentering to produce those videos. So starting with 8K gives you a lot of latitude.

I was shooting native 16:9 in about 2003. It created a boisterous discussion about looking too "professional". I understand shooting safe for 16:9, but that is exactly the argument for shooting as high rez as possible, because you are zooming to fill the frame. I preferred shooting native 16:9 and it still has legs and now there are all kinds of ways to upgrade the definition, but 4:3 just dates your product.

Hey I've been promoting you for years! Probably a decade now... god VR really has been around for quite a while.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh . . .

BTW, I knew that and thank you I appreciate that. Rumours of its demise of VR were greatly exaggerated. VR sells well and has a loyal following. The beauty of VR is that it is not attractive to Tube thieves.

I understand the crop and the resolution... my question was meant " why?"

I shoot something, edit it, and send to the World, why would I want to re do stuff later by cropping it?... Maybe to see the pussy closer? Makes NO sense to me. Its like wanting to crop Mona Lisa.:2 cents:

In the old days TV was 4:3, but theatrical movies were 16:9 for at least 20 years prior. We made and sold movies to both , that is why we shot 16:9 safe ( NOT because we were smart).....we have nothing in 4:3 since about 2005

now everything is in 16 :9 so I do NOT see the reason for cropping.

4.3 is good for the amateur market.

One reason for cropping is to repurpose in 9X16 which is very important today.

9X16 is only for idiots who do not know how to hold their iPhone properly... Maybe only importnat for Instagram and crap sites like that.

When I'll see a theatre or TV broadcasting in 9X16 I will finally quit ....

I'm not sure if you know this, but there is a booming industry in what they call verticle film making. But aside from that, look around. Everyone is doing it. It is what people today are becoming used to. No point in passing up the doom scroller traffic for a little extra work.

Not later! This is necessary in order to have more opportunities for editing: different plans, frame improvement, sliding and much more. You just don't understand what you're missing...
My camera only allows shooting in 6k. If it were possible to shoot 8k, I would. The final format after editing is usually 4k.
