i'd hit them any time

Sigh mostly sure. :Oh crap:1orglaugh:helpme

cool - awaiting announcements


annnnd - congrats on 7k posts :pimp

And while I'm at it - let me say a few words about the quality of the video on Playboy.com. As someone who has been investing heavily in HD camera gear, HD post-production and HD education in general, I can't believe some of the stuff I'm seeing on Playboy.com. The colors are flat and the contrast is flat. It's like they captured the footage to the computer and threw it right up on the site...with little to no regard for color correcting or enhancing the footage. My CaptureGirls HD footage looks 20 times better then most of the footage on Playboy.com and I'm a one-man operation. I shoot it, edit it, color correct it and enhance it all myself. Does it take money? No! It simply takes having pride in your work...that's all! If I can do this - surely Playboy can do this!

By the way, I'm available for consultations if Playboy needs my services :winkwink: My clients don't do business with me because I'm cheap.....they do business with me because I have an eye for quality and I take pride in my work. This is something that seems to be sorely lacking with my friends at Playboy.com :Oh crap

Eric, is there anyone you can forward this thread to that gives a damn about the quality of the content on Playboy.com?

Dude I looked at your site and you shoot really good content if that's your website.

To be honest with you comparing your pictures to playboys your photography work and time taken per picture, editing is far more superior then playboy. I think they should hire you to shoot content.

Thank heaven
For naked girls
Without them what
Would naked boys doooooooooooo?...

Dean,
You do have the playboy standards potential and ambition IMHO but some sentences above in your last post I would have rephrased in other words.
:2 cents:

I'm not an artist with words - I just say what I feel :thumbsup

I wonder... :)

facepalm pic <---

Fitty..............Dear Playboy's :Graucho

You know best. Enjoy the holidays!

Dean,

As stated above in my previous post. I have started this ball rolling. I will do what I can, unfortunately I do not run the playboy.com properties. But They do seem to listen to me at least a little bit. So I will do what I can.

YES! I used my 7000 post here

Eric

Congrats on the 7K:thumbsup

Eric, why do they call you Tender Thighs? :winkwink:

Congrats on 7000 posts! And, congrats on your free-speech comment earlier. And, congrats on your new position with Playboy. And, congrats on having Jelena as a girlfriend (hot-hot-hot). Sounds like this may be your best year ever :thumbsup

You tell em Dean... For the, how many thread so far, time.. You are right and they should give you a job...

Giving me a job won't solve their issues....I'm perfectly happy doing what I'm doing. I don't think I'd do very well in the corporate world. I'd end up telling someone to go fuck themselves and I'd be right back where I am now. Shooting some of the hottest girls in the industry for some of the largest and most successful websites in the world. I got a nice life, don't need Playboy for anything :thumbsup

This thread delivers

Dean your right.. without Arny and Steve, the quality of Playboy is poor to say the least.. I cant believe some of the poor pics for the Playmates they are doing in the "extras" each month, i sometimes think I could get my throw away camera and produce better pics, and i have no fucking idea how to take a photo. When u have girls that are soooo fucking hot, one needs to give them the quality output they deserver

good thread!

Glad to see some changes coming down the pipe. And I agree with dean, she is not hideous but that shot is not flattering.

my ups person has never looked like that.:(

My best friend just got a job at Playboy... Today was his first day actually... He's gonna be the one sorting through the good and bad pics... I just showed him this thread :)

he said 'ok'... ill see what i can do

Just out of curiosity, does your friend have any experience with photography? What is his background? What makes him qualified to be a photo editor? Just curious.....

i could 'deliver' into that girl

i'm afraid i know the answer already

Yeah he's very good. He has a good eye. Educated in photography. He worked for one of the biggest commercial studios here in Chicago. He knows what he's doing... I've been friends with him for a long time now... he has a good eye for beautiful girls. He's gonna be running around doing casting stuff too.

Haha have no fear :)

:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup:thumbsup:thum bsup

in the end, they're just words. glad to see that got through to people.

tender bones for the win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well good luck to your friend. Hopefully he'll make a difference.

Dean,

They don't have anyone over there that cares about quality. In fact, there is almost no-one in this entire industry that cares about quality. Playboy's Video has been pathetic for many years. Back in the day they actually used mainstream directors and cinematographers to capture quality. But that ended in the early 90s. They didn't want to pay for it. Hugh appreciates quality and has always been a big supporter of artists. They have been showcased through the years in the magazine and even lived at the mansion. Painters, writers, photographers, filmmakers. But he does not care anymore and is not making those decisions. :( Its also too big a corporation now. There are many fearful people working there who are afraid for their jobs and are scared to change. I see it all the time.

Don't worry. Quality work will always rise to the top and there will always be a place for it. High end photography, and more so video, in these industry will be coming in a big way after this recession. With the tech that is coming out now we are in a position to do some stuff in adult that has never been seen before. This will sell.

It is a lot harder to sell Ferraris than it is to sell Honda Civics, and you can sell a lot more Hondas, but I would rather sell a few Ferraris personally. And hey, there is less competition at the top :2 cents:

As the great Steve Martin once said, "Some people have a way with words and some people... just don't... have a way... with... words."

Oh... and let me add...

Until Playboy starts putting trannies under their wing, they can expect continued quarterly losses.

considering that a massive percentage of my tranny customers are straight males, i would tend to agree with you on that.

Dean you're correct but it won't happen - tough economic times for one and Playboy in particular is struggling - they have spread themselves too thin - when all they had to take care of was the magazine, quality was easy to achieve. Now they have a website that demands many times the amount of content that the magazine takes - plus Special Editions magazines, plus a bunch of other paysites. Quality of model and content goes down. Ask any webmaster who owns a paysites with large numbers of models and photographers, Shap/Kim/Louis/BillNubiles/Met-Art etc - how hard it is to maintain quality control.

Hef's pick for the 55th anniversary Playmate is bizarre.

wow....what have I been missing out on all this time. lol. :)

I was surprised by his pick also.

After 20,000 posts... you might be on to something there. Keep up the good work. :thumbsup

Dean why are you trying so hard to get banned? Just wondering.

Just curious why you are surprised Tony. I thought she the best looking out of the small group he had picked from. It is nice to see a brunette with natural breasts. Plus she photographs very well.
