This video, especially the sections favored by the most people, relies a lot on clips from series where I could find similarities in tone, direction, chosen camera angles, likely same cameraman and original editor, and in many cases similar backgrounds, etc. It helps the effect I get from rapid cuts sequencing between similar poses with different subjects...
Anyway, can anyone suggest series where they'd like to see the same treatment? You know, should I decide to make another video? They don't necessarily have to be POV, but it would help if they were similar in the ways above, having come from essentially the same film-making crew.
My favorite are FFM scenes where Mike Adriano is the M. Because Mike normally directs the movies he's in, they all have a similar look and feel.

Agreed. I TRY to seed until I'm at least to 1:1 ratio. Seems like the least I can do.

18 seeders now, so that's a bit better. My current ratio on this torrent is 25--I've uploaded 64 GB of data in the last day. I will continue seeding for at least several more days.
Now I'm going to actually play it! I'm looking forward to it. Thanks so much, GernBlanston.

Just wanted to say, i enjoyed this MASSIVELY!
Amazing content, absolutely brilliant. And for content and cuts I would have to say one of my top 3 faves of all time (and I've seen them all)..
But as I'm being totally honest, a little critical feedback if i may..
The beats nearly spoiled it..... at times they were really awkward beats that were difficult to follow and too complicated. Your cuts are so quick, you have to be looking at the action to appreciate them, but that was sometimes difficult because i had to watch the beat meter so much to second guess where the beat changes were coming from.
And also, the beats were sometimes a little out of sync with the music. Not sure how you did the audio beats, but you should learn quantising, where the beats are put exactly into the right places....
Luckily, as i said, your content was so amazing, i was still able to love this video... but it was close!
Just thought i'd give you some honest feedback from a big fan of what you did.
Hope you make another!
PS - the schoolgirl round.... unbelievable ;)

Thanks. I'm DLing and will enjoy comparing the first and second versions. Is there significant change to CONTENT or just to RESOLUTION and other technical details?

The "bonus" round has been replaced with entirely new material, other than that it's materially the same but with louder beat track.

Hey,
I just wanted to leave a quick feedback here. The content of the video overall was good though I did not enjoy the change of quality during the rounds. Though the videos were hot videos with such a low resolution after HD content was weird.
The content itself was hot and a lot of the Jack's POV stuff is phenomenal and on my hard drive but I did not watch it in years so that was great.
The beats in the 1080p version were loud enough but too though to follow during some rounds and the beatmeter, especially because it changes from round to round was not as easy to follow. Maybe it was the transparency, I don't know but I had to focus too much on the meter in many situations.
The cum round was cut a bit too fast imo.
Overall I think this is a very well made video and I enjoyed it a lot though I am sure that in case you make more you can improve many aspects.
Thanks for making this and I hope we will see more videos like that from you! :)

Thanks for the feedback, GoGo...I agree totally on the material that was in low-rez. Sorry I couldn't find higher resolution versions of the content that was in there.
In future, I'll likely do half-meters that span the right side of the screen to the middle, as in some of the newer videos, and feature no backgrounds. I think I should be able to do this with a center reticule that pulses when a beat hits it...that should satisfy my yen for an unobtrusive meter that still serves the user well. That, and I want to shy away from more complex rhythms. They are cool and all, but they kinda get in the way.
If you'd like some advice (and this goes for everyone), my intent is that you listen for beat changes and just follow along once you "get" them. Momentary lapses are a-ok, understood, not a problem, and if you need to pause a few bars to get the rhythm, that's really by design. I more or less want a beat meter that's only on the periphery, almost a subconscious trigger, or no beat meter at all. I want the confusion and attempts to concentrate on the rhythm to allow a person focusing on two things at once (on-screen action and audible rhythm, NOT the beat meter) to let a little more immersion in...but the beat meter, I think, just begs to be looked at during those times, and for me, it ruins what I'm going for. In other words, when your mind is de-ciphering the audible cues, it lets the rhythm in, so to speak...that's what music does. The rhythm, in turn, is a trigger for heart rate, and because the visual data you're getting is tied to everything, you get more 'plugged in' to the experience. But when you add the beat meter, you subvert that, imho, with visual data that is meaningless to the goal. The viewer gets wrapped up in following the meter so much that the rhythm means stupid arrows instead of sexual stimulation. Pulses and blinking lights aren't sexy, right? Audible rhythm is, and so is the stuff on screen.

Do you need an entirely new level, or an existing one? I could do either...but I can't put a time table on a new effort. My life's pretty full as it is, and the way I like to do videos takes a lot of time.

oh yah - and congrats on completing your first CH. the genre needs new blood pushing the envelope. i dont think people realize how big an undertaking it is until they do it - I know I didnt.
Agreed - which is why I have a post in this forum of CH video ideas that never came to fruition. It can be quite time consuming if you're going for quality - kudos to GernBlanston.

Thanks for the new version, GernBlanston! The new beat works great and I was better able to concentrate on the action! :)

I just wanted to say, I'm in love with this! Love the whole thing, but a couple of my favorite parts:
Round 1. It's a masterpiece. I love the buildup through the first couple songs, then from 10:53 until the end...wow! Very difficult to make it through that part...and a couple of times I've happily "lost" at that point when the parade of (fast cut) pussies getting plowed hard marches past. Jesus...such beautiful eye candy.
21:21 "Hi. I'm Chloe Amour. This is what it's like to fuck me!" Then you show us. OMG...so perfect.
Thank you for remastering with louder stroke sound and with the best possible resolution for the source material. I really appreciate that.
You are a master and I hope to see more! Thanks!
P.S. If I had to pick something that I think didn't work very well, it would be the beats during the Skyfall song in Round 1. There were a few places during that song where the stroke beats you chose didn't seem to fit the song well. Also, the song itself seemed to have a sound that is very similar to the stroke beat sound you used and the two similar sounds were not in sync, making things difficult. Or, it could be me...I probably have white-man-can't-dance syndrome.
Other than that, it was all awesome! Like I said, you are a master!
