Other than that, I liked all the new stuff you tried out and it worked quite well - I was especially fond of the "yearbook" ending. Thematically, you did a tremendous job. I would only caution not to go "too crazy" on style vs. substand - you found a really fun balance here that I look forward to seeing in your next CH-style project.
Thank you! Balance was important; I wanted people to enjoy the story and actually last to the end, but keep a lot of the Cock Hero elements that make these videos so damn fun to watch. Glad you enjoyed it!

I'm experiencing this myself, I edited my first PMV that I intended to make a CH video but I took a few days off and went back and watched it and wasn't feeling it. Might go back to it at some point but your video really got my creativity sparked and I'm dabbling with a story driven CH like this one and Canto I. Hoping it will be good enough that I can interest someone to provide some voice acting, but we'll see. Good luck and can't wait to see what you do in the future!
That happens to me all the time, especially when I start a new project. This one took quite a few months before it really took off (started during the summer last year, shortly after Prime Fitness finished... didn't actually start editing until November). Creativity is difficult to pin down, but once you find that special angle you want to approach your project with, things start to take off! My best advice is to avoid stopping midway, once things are really going. It's hard to recapture motivation!

Nitpicking; what I strongly disliked about the ending was how you took this yearbook idea that I perceived as credits and tried to make it as a "Bonus Round" by implementing the voice actor moaning etc throughout the whole thing. It just didn't do it for me. The best way I can describe how it made me feel was it took a great production and cheapened it. There is a small chance I felt this way because I had already finished but I don't think that was it. At the risk of overstating here, it felt you let her do this bonus round just because she didn't have as large of a role in the production and you wanted to find a way to give her extra screen time sorta speak. To me, it really just felt like it didn't fit.
First and foremost, THANK YOU SO MUCH for writing such an in-depth review, and really going into your thought-process. I appreciate it so much, seriously. And I'm glad you pointed out the nitpick, since I know I made some controversial choices in this. Porn is subjective, and you can't please anybody 100%. Girlypleasuresforyou is super special, and what separates her from a lot of other voice actresses is that she genuinely loves porn. She fucking loves porn. And she loves to masturbate into the mic. One of the first audios she did that really captures this is here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/gonewildaudio/ ... dgingmast/. She wants to watch porn with others and is totally game for mutual masturbation. When I discovered that, I knew I wanted to do a mutual masturbation moment with her genuine orgasm, and I figured the ending would be perfect for those who had trouble cumming from the main story. You're right, I didn't feature her as much as Ami, but I knew a long extended masturbation sequence with her at the end would be a lot of fun for some. I'm glad you lasted as long as you did, and came at the end! Hearing about the long-lasting explosive finales make all the hard work worthwhile!

*Freestyle.... freestyle is not CH, I want to be told when and how to stroke, otherwise i might as well just be masturbating to any video. This somewhat took me out of the moment in these sections, and actually ruined the ending for me and the entire last scene, which was really disappointing because it had been building so brilliantly up to that point. Was dying for it to just push me over the edge with a super hot scene.
Final thoughts:
*Thought you could have made more use of the voice actresses by actually using them during the scenes to ramp up the filth and try to push you over the edge aurally as well as visually too. Enjoyed the bridging parts for the story, but its the sex that really counts
*Thought this was a great CH, the first two rounds blew me away before it got a bit weird in the middle and the freestyle thing, but still definitely the best CH I've seen on here in a long time. Thanks for all your work.
As soon as I heard the Chainsmokers, I knew they needed to be in a Cock Hero. My process may be a little different than others. I pick the theme and music first, split up the songs I like into their various chapters, and essentially make Porn Music Videos for each chapter/song... and then mash them all together. I introduced Freestyle as an option to:
1. Not make it hella awkward when the song softens for the bridge. Having a beat continue during these lulls felt very out-of-place. Also, being forced to EDGE or STOP during these times would not have worked due to how often they came up. I believe Freestyle was the best option.
2. Highlight the words said by either the voice actresses or the porn actresses in the video (or both). That way, their speech would not have been drowned out by background beats.
3. LEVEL THE PLAYING FIELD. Prime University is meant to be a full story that encourages people to make it to the end and see Riley's full four years at school. That's why I wanted to give moments where people can either stroke as wildly as they want to stay hard, or ease up a bit to regain control. The story is meant to showcase one girl's sexual evolution, starting off relatively softcore, then ramping up to wilder stuff. I tried to emphasize a theme of sex-positivity and experimentation. Every scene that had alternative kink
- Spoiler: show
- such as orgies, gangbangs, bondage, anonymous sex
was accompanied with LOTS of enthusiastic consent. In the sex-positive communities, there's a saying: Your kink is not my kink and that's okay. So even if it wasn't your kink, I hope you appreciated the journey that lots of horny kink-curious people go through when they decide to explore sexually!
You were right, the second voice-actress' recording equipment wasn't as good as the first's (though strangely easier to edit due to its consistency). However, I loved her voice because it was so wildly different from the teenage Ami's, the sultry nature of it all. I raved about it in my response to Numz. I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
