Firstly, congrats vindicare on getting this up; most of the people seem to be enjoying this one quite a bit.
With that said, I'm going to have to say that - for me - this was one of your easier CH episodes and a little less enjoyable from my end.
Overall, you did a great job of editing and you've really mastered your technique in terms of your format and style - just the choice of some girls, themes and music that kind of put me off a bit on this one.
As I REALLY appreciate the great critical feedback you gave me on my video tease, I'm going to break down each of your episode as well to be as helpful as I can.
Round 1: A pretty decent warm-up, the girls were ok, the beat and music selection was quite good.
Round 2: Not a huge lesbian fan but when you had those two gorgeous girls in a scene, well, I'll watch.
The "Benny Hill" speed up when the girls were trying out different outfits was pretty darn funny - was that your doing or how the video was originally done up?
Round 3: I think this was my favorite round of the bunch as there was a good variety of sexy girls without being too distracting and the music and beat variation were really good.
Round 4: I think I know what you were going for here and I'm going to guess you're a big fan of Kelsey Monroe. For me though, this was the 2nd least favorite of the Rounds and nearly put me to sleep because of the slow song and slow imagery. That and...

- she doesn't get nude at all? Sounds crass, but for me to jump in, i need to see some nude skin!
Round 5: Ok this was my least favorite round because... well, it was just so odd. Sure there's sexy imagery all around, but it comes and goes and comes and goes so quickly. It just felt a bit ADD-centric. Good song tho.
Round 6: I was torn on this round because Marry Queen (the near-perfect Euro blonde featured in this round) is sooooo gorgeous. But your song selection!?! It's probably me but stroking to such a mainstream hit from that artist was... well, it just didn't work out.
Round 7: A pretty solid round - wasn't really digging the song, but it had an ok beat and the slender hottie here was definitely welcome.
Round 8: This was a fun round, both because the beat variation and music were really good. For the most part, the girls were really nice. My only gripe is that...

- it seems sometimes you added the brief hardcore scenes out of "thin air" - that is, 90% of this round you had a steady diet of the same hot girls but when it came to the 10% hardcore stuff, they were completely different girls and only for a 3-5 second clip of hardcore footage. I know it's sometimes near impossible to find hardcore footage of the same girls; but to me thematically, I think it would "fit" better if you could feature the same girls in all states of sexy action - solo, lesbian and hardcore if possible. For example, you had Tiffany Thompson (one of the most gorgeous newcomers this year) doing a sexy strip and masturbation scene with a turbo vibrator; you could've also used a scene from one of her hardcore videos to replace some of the hardcore footage in this round. To me, that would've made it "fit better" and overall, made it a much hotter piece.
Boss Fight: Funny setup, it was somewhat enjoyable. I didn't find the girl that attractive, though her pouty English accent was pretty arousing.
Vind, I hope you take my critical remarks well: the production values of your Flux series - with the great transitions, fun "breaks" and overall format - are something that have a lot of fans here really entertained. I guess I'm more of a "purist" in that, while I enjoy all the trimmings, the meat of the meal better be really good. For me, I think you fell just a little short from your past offerings but keep in mind, you set the bar yourself and set it quite high. So I always have high expectations of your video teases. I also might be in the minority as well since the overwhelming responders in this thread have absolutely loved Flux 4. But figured you did me the great favor of in-depth feedback and figured I should return the favor; I know I'm not quite as overflowing with feedback that you gave me, but hopefully my feedback will be useful for you when debut Flux 5.
Thanks again always for your hard work (even if you, andyp and utopia got screwed in the TOTM voting this past month). Looking forward to Flux 5!
