[RELEASE] Cock Hero - CRESCENDO

[Pseudonym]

This was great! Your unique style and great selection of girls made this video very entertaining to watch.
Thanks for your work Crescendo!

I have one question:

Spoiler: show

The part where one of the girls masturbates on her bed with laptop - Was the footage on her screen part of the original video?

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.

Take as much time as you need. I'll be waiting.

Thanks. That's high praise, coming from you.

To answer your question,

Spoiler: show

Yes, the footage on her screen (where you see the laptop and the Windows Media Player icons) was part of the original video.

I spliced in footage from the original version of the video she was watching because I wanted a more hectic ending for the round, with faster cuts but staying within the limits of that scene. I'm not sure how it turned out in the end (didn't really have a lot of footage to work with) or if it works for most people, but figured it was worth a shot.

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

If you ever feel like elaborating, I'm definitely interested (and I promise I'm not fishing for compliments ). It's just that specific feedback is really valuable.

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.

The video was removed at the request of xTakedowns and they claim to offer services to Evil Angel, DDF Network, DORCEL, BLACKED.com and others, so it could be anything, really.

I was doing another run to find more specifics to talk about and praise, but if I'm totally honest, this awesome pacing and hotness actually got me and I lost
So... now I've spent time finding the ones responsible to bring them to justice! Like.. getting to know your enemy!

So here are my excuses, if someone wants to see :

Had to log in for the first time in a while to say this is my favorite new cock hero in a very long time. I hope you're planning to release more, although I know it's a huge time commitment. Either way thanks for your contribution, after a few playthroughs it's still my current favorite.

I'm glad to hear it still holds up after the first playthrough.

I am planning on making another one but it's definitely going to take a while. I have to make the project fun for me, otherwise I'd burn out.

[just a quick note - your original pornhub link was reported and taken down. This is why we can't have nice hot and sexy things. (note, it has been reuploaded on pornhub by some other enterprising pornhub user).]

I've been meaning to reply to this CH video for awhile but you know - real life stuffs and such.

Whenever a new CH creator decides to make and publish their first CH video, Two things that I almost always notice from first time creators is syncing footage to the rhythm of the music and a lack of pace throughout the whole video. The latter is not surprising, as it often takes feedback from viewers and a couple of tries at new videos before a creator find a good pace.

And for me, that is what is most impressive about Cock Hero - Crescendo. The rhythm and pacing of this video is really, really good. I'm all about the build-up in CH-style videos and nearly all the sequences you chose were right up my style. For a first time creator of a CH-style video, it feels like you've been doing this for awhile!

Also, your creative attention to detail is great - I was really impressed by the sequence starting at 11:25 where you combined two sequences seamlessly and creatively (i.e. the sexart + lifeerotic). For a first time creator, that's really amazing to see.

I like most of your music choices and I feel like you gave a lot of thought to choosing music that had various changes of pace (i.e. slowing down, speeding up, breaks, etc.,).

I think the only round I didn't really enjoy was the round starting at 41:50.

Spoiler: show

I'm not a big fan of bukkake and dont' really find it hot and sexy, so despite have hot asians in that round, it wasn't very challenging for me at all.

I really look forward to seeing more CH-style video works from you Crescendo - the only advice I'd give you is while you should definitely take your time, be sure to at least work on your stuff once a week, even if it's only for 10-20 minutes. That's what of my biggest challenges in creating videos in the past - I would set aside like 3-4 hours in one day, then i'd stop working on it for like a month and then when I get back to it, I've totally forgotten what I wanted to do.

[Crescendo]

It's now both on Pornhub and Spankbang (edit: both removed). If the uploaders lurk here, thanks.

Supermokkori, the Stroker Ace series has been very influential in the way I think about pacing, scene selection and trying to make every round feel different, so it means a lot that you were impressed by the video.

I was a bit worried that the sequence at 11:25 might be confusing to some and until your post, the only feedback I got about it was a comment on the initial Pornhub upload asking "what's with the Windows Media Player buttons?" so I just assumed that it was a swing and a miss on my part. I'm glad that it stood out to you.

The 41:50 round was another gamble and I was aware that some people might not enjoy it. I saw it as a quick descent into depravity before a more subdued, relaxing final round. Hopefully it's not a complete turn-off for some people.

Thank you for the advice (and for the review in general). I think that's a healthy rule of thumb, to make progress every week no matter how small.

Hi folks, quick question. I tried to download the MEGA link 720p, it didn't let me pick a folder. The transfer took nearly 2 days, and while it's showing completed, I have no idea where it went... Did anyone else have this issue? (I'm currently using Firefox) Do you need to use the Mega app? (I've never seen this happen with Mega before, but the interface is definitely new). Thanks!

[book_guy]

Mega doesn't always seem to "work right" with the file-location picking. Be assured, this isn't an entirely novel problem. Plenty of users find Mega counter-intuitive in this or another similar aspect. Mega is busy encrypting by THEIR encryption engine, thus circumventing some of your system's lock-outs, thus screwing stuff up, thus etc. etc. ... but only sometimes.

So, it's possible that you "downloaded" it only in order to be able to use it WHEN MEGA IS ON-LINE. They kind of force that option in some of the defaults.

But that option isn't required, and usually it doesn't happen, so it's really likely there's a big file on your hard drive somewhere. To find it? Best solution is to search your entire hard-drive, every file, with search parameters based on the proper characteristics of date and size. Good luck!

I was beginning to think I would never find a CH I liked more than Evolution, this one is right up there IMO.

I can't add much more that hasn't been said already, the attention to detail, matching the songs with the action, making sure the big hits in the song match appropriate increases in intensity....videos like this show why CH is definitely an art form.

I can't wait for whatever you make next, fantastic work on this.

[Turbid1218]

The best one I've seen in a long while. I love when a creator is not afraid to use lots of softcore/teasing material and slower beats with a long buildup, it really adds to that "crescendo" feeling.

Thank you. I really like Evolution too, so I'm in good company.

Thanks. The way I see it, making a CH video that will please a lot of people is a losing battle. There are too many elements that come down to personal preference. People can get turned off by the music, the scene selection, the lack of hardcore, the lack of softcore, the lack of story, too much story, fake tits, small tits, too much IR, any IR at all, having a beatmeter, not having a beatmeter, etc. I saw a top-voted comment on a video that said "Ruined by IR, into the trash it goes". That's dismissing hundreds of hours of work because the creator included an interracial scene.

Viewers either get hooked by a CH video or they don't, so you're better off catering to those that come along for the ride. My biggest gamble is that viewers will notice and care that the hardcore action matches the beats. For me, those hardcore sections where everything is in sync feel more intense even though the beats aren't particularly difficult. For others, the second half of the video is too slow and unsatisfying.

Agreed, I think it's much better to have a narrow focus and clear idea of what you're trying to do. If the style of the editing/music is particularly well-done, it might even win me over when the content itself is not my particular cup of tea (for example, not a huge fan of BBC and facial/blowjob material).

But I definitely noticed you syncing up the beats with the hardcore action, that's the rare attention to detail I really respect. More of that please!

The guy who posts that must feel super strongly about it. That’s the exact same comment I’ve gotten from him on both of my videos. It’s like he’s gotten himself a catch phrase. :D

Any chance for an updated Pornhub link? I can't get this Mega link download to work... :P

It already got removed twice from Pornhub so I'm not sure if it's worth it at this point. Anyway, I sent you a PM with an alternative.
