Spoiler: show
As an Avid CH watcher I really wish more credits were used in general tbh. In part because you're using other people's work/content to make these videos and, in the least, the performers should get credit for your usage, but also to pay respect to the people that make your creation entirely possible, ya know? And for those who don't have access to these forums/don't know they exist like I didn't for the longest time, sitting around Pornhub and asking 'Who's that at 4:39' and hoping someone can answer is a real pain. I do understand its added work, but I also see it as: you've already got the scenes, just write it down and put it in a couple of slides at the end of the video

Regarding difficulty: fast beats don't make it difficult, imo. Intricate beats of varying speed, fast AND slow, combined with steady beats at a moderate pace are some of the most difficult beats in CH. I think a prime example of what I mean by this can be found in CH: World Championship Round 1. If you haven't played it, definitely worth a try. The anal round has been commented as being a 'clear spike in difficulty' yet, when you play it, it's not actually much faster than previous rounds. It just uses a skillful beat pattern. So I definitely agree: don't do 'triple beats for a minute' cause yeah, that's boring and I can do that all day tbh and I'm not a fan of tiring my arm out either. But I am a fan of being pushed past the point that my endurance can hold out, where no amount of flexing of the pelvic floor etc can hold you back. That's when the orgasm is glorious imo.

I think the problem is most people think difficult = fast and that's just not true. If I didn't completely lack any ability in video/music editing, I'd put my ideas for a CH on paper and prove you can have a difficult CH that isn't all triple beats! Not putting the onus of making a good hard CH on you, cause you should always make what makes you happy, but in my long ass quest to find the CH I can't beat, I've come across tons of mind achingly easy ones, so I'm always gonna be like 'Make it harder next time!'

In any case, I get real critical on CHs cause I watch a ton of them and I'm an artist at heart, but please don't confuse my critiques as not liking what you've done, cause that's not the case. Based on this one alone I will probably watch every thing you ever put out, I'm just offering an artist's feedback, if you will. Maybe one day I'll find someone with the video editing skills to match my vision and I'll put my money where my mouth is :lol: :lol:
Now I'm gonna play this one again
I'm breaking the spoiler chain. :-)

I honestly appreciate the feedback, so you don't have to worry about me taking it the wrong way. I just thought it deserved a reply.

I also had no experience in video/music editing when I started working on this, so I don't think you should consider that an insurmountable obstacle. You can start small. Pick the simplest idea you have (in terms of execution) and try making one round. If you ever feel like you're not progressing or you're not enjoying the process, you can quit and there's no harm done.

I made this video. Here's a MEGA link.

I'm not sure if I should make a new thread. Maybe the OP can edit the first post and add the MEGA link, in case people don't bother to scroll past the first Pornhub link.

About the video: it's a deliberately slow progression from softcore to hardcore with a few twists along the way. I don't have any experience with video editing, but the feedback has been great so far.

Oh, forgot to say a huge thank you to pl3b for the BPMTool. I don't even want to know how long I would have needed to figure out how to make a functional beatmeter if it wasn't for his help.
Brilliant work!

While a storyline/concept might be absent, the editing, timing and good use of scenes/music is second to none!
Yes, I most certainly CAN do it again!

It seems it has been overlooked, anyway: the transcode I did for Crescendo (starting from higher quality sources he provided me) is smaller and retains better quality.

To the author: Impressive. Just impressive.

Mind you, I didn't like the black cocks chapter (I skipped it) and neither the brazilian dancing part. Put overall, its really great and its progression is awesome. I wish I had seen videos like this one when I was more sensitive to porn.

Congrats, I enjoyed it.

I tried to contact the OP to edit the first post, but he hasn't logged in at all this month. I'd like to add the credits and the download link for jogekaxe's 1080p version, but I'm not sure how to go about it or who to contact, so I'm just leaving them here for now.

MEGA link 720p
MEGA link 1080p h265
(these should be the two download links in the first post)

Thanks again for all the kind words. I didn't reply to everyone individually since it would seem a bit redundant after a while, but I do appreciate all the feedback. It means a lot. The fact that somebody takes the time to write "hey, I enjoyed this" makes it feel like your work had some impact, no matter how small.

Just to give you a heads-up, I'm very slowly collecting new scenes and songs. It's an organic process for me and I don't intend to hurry along because it would stop being fun and I'd probably burn out. No promises for now.

The Pornhub video got taken down. I'm not really sure what to do, so any suggestions are welcome. Is there any point in reuploading it or should I just consider alternatives like Spankbang?

I think that: on the other hand adult entertainment, CH's and other similar content presented/used on this site is the greyest of grey areas when it comes to getting credit where it belongs and thinking about who paid for what - so I prefer not to tell anyone what to do or think about that, and on the other hand it's a really easy business, just register/subscribe to your favorite productions and you can easily support the industry if you like! Also, this CH wasn't styled as making you read lots of things so shouldn't we just let everyone handle credits and dues how they see fit.

About difficulty and speed, I had no problems with repetitiveness here, on the contrary, I think this CH was more innovative than most CH's and on top of that had lots of feeling built into it using many excellent designs. Maybe it's a personal thing how speed, feeling, immersion, visual and audio works on each player but this is far from the boring strokefests or ones that wear you out, imo.

Yeah, most of the users of this forum are into CH's, many have artistic backgrounds, everyone likes a good rant about how to make difficult stroking patterns, but in front of this masterpiece that Crescendo is, I came back online just to write only positive things about it because that's all I felt, I find these critiques misplaced and mostly not agreeable. I strongly recommend that you indeed show us how it's done and present us a CH where everything fulfills your standards also.

------------------------

Anyhoo, I found Crescendo's fantastic choices of material, music, high effort editing/syncing, style choices, pacing and other stuff I can't name, make an exemplary mesmerizing experience that keeps you interested and at least for me, the most memorable sneaky close calls maybe ever. Worth mentioning though it happened to include some of my favorite stars / things :smile: It's clear lots of effort has been put into this and it's also clearly paying off, it felt as great as any other great CH imo, maybe even the best in my opinion, judging from the vibes of the first time playing.

I think everything went right with this one and I hope to see them if you make more! Thanks for all your work on this, it's fabulous :love: :w00t:

I think that aurondian's comments might be misinterpreted out of context. He did rate my video a 10/10 and the rant about difficulty and beat patterns was mostly an answer to something I brought up as a hypothetical.

Thank you. I was feeling a bit frustrated and demotivated since the video got singled out and removed from Pornhub. Your review snapped me out of it.

Any idea why your vid would be removed from PH when so many others are on there? What separated yours from that pack I wonder.

It’s happened to several others as well. Most likely, the video happened to contain footage that was picked up by one of the production companies and they complained to pornhub. Pretty sure a lot of this is automated, just like on youtube, but it’s kind of the luck of the draw. I know there are some who reverse videos and such to try to dodge around it, but if they’re using software to detect their content, I’d assume they’ve accounted for that too.
My latest Cock Hero is Sweet Mammaries, a Cock Hero Quickie.

I've also made 4-play, 4-play 2, Getting Down With The Thiccness, Fuck Hard Cum Harder, Filthy Cute and Kittens & Cream. You can stream them all on SpankBang or search up their announce threads here for other options. :)

Yeah, you're probably right. I didn't read everything with thought, being excited with the first play-through :p

I think there's probably a lot I couldn't quite put my finger on yet, and I planned to get back on it after more playing :p Definitely, there's some mastery at work :love: As for PH takedowns, don't worry about it, either it happened to raise some copyright holder's flag running some script or some random guy, who has interest in any of the materials used, reporting it. That's just how they deal with copyright claims, take down that one piece in a million that catches attention and move along, it's nothing personal for sure. If I was a money man, I'd hire you to keep working :lol:
