Variety is the spice of life. Don't be afraid to do what makes you happy with your product. You're putting it out there for free to all of us, and you'll never please everybody.
That said, I tend to like gradual buildups in overall "hotness" of scenes. Since that is a very subjective term, my preferences are definitely hardcore-professional porn leaning. Stripteases and solo girls are nice for the first few rounds, but towards the ending I get more turned on as it moves into straight sex, anal, dp's, gangbangs, kink, fetishes, cumshots, etc... Unless of course, you're making a video themed for more softcore material, like Brewster's QT video.
As for length, I don't think it matters so long as it's conducive to the pacing of the video. If you want a long video, I prefer more rounds as opposed to longer rounds. Sometimes you can get away with showing one scene for 10 minutes to stretch out the length of the video, but it can get boring for some people, especially if it's not something you're into, or if the scene lacks a lot of flavor. (Few positions, long periods of focus from one angle, static model acting)
The music you choose plays a huge role in the pacing of the video, as it determines what kind of beats you can get away with. I gear towards steady, rhythmic stroking more than sheer speed, but I think I'm a minority in that regard. I love endurance rounds, but for some reason they always get shoved towards the beginning of a video. If used later on with more hard content, I think they can force a lot of people to the edge.
Finally, making the music "sync" with the scene is one of the most important and difficult things you can do in a video. For a great example, look a the opening round of CH12. Luckily for you, andyp, you're really talented at making this work, but I've seen a few rounds in other CH's where when not done correctly, it can absolutely kill the mood. Careful transitions, subtle use of visual effects, and properly timed cuts are really important here. This is all about editing, and the rewards of doing it well are limitless.
Sorry if I sounded a little over-analytic, and these are just my opinions, but I think these are the things that really draw me into the video and connect me with the action, which naturally leads to better jerking off overall. Quality over quantity and all that.
Hi AndyP!
I just wanted to THANK YOU for remember those of us that have older and slower computers by making available the lower version!
Sincerely yours,
Kevan.
Round 1-5 were amazing after that it was kinda up and down...
the exercise ball, the Gym and the rain scene were kinda meh. The Exercise ball scene was too much of a letdown after a very very hot 5th round. In the Gym scene you didn't see enough of the girls imo... and the Rain scene was mainly jerking of to buildings since there wasn't much action
until round 5 the action is building up constantly but after that it kinda gets into a hole and it's up and down after that.
Round 6 was kind of a let down. She had a very pretty face but i'm not much of a fan of oversized tits and overall there wasn't enough action for a non-warmup round. Round 7 was ok didn't arouse me much though for some reason maybe it has something to do with the point brewster made... Round 8 was on the level of the first 5 rounds again! nearly lost it! Round 9 was good but i wasn't a big fan of the splitscreen. Problem is you don't know exactly where to look and you end up looking all over the place and in the end you kinda can't get into the grove...
Now the Reward Round was finally one of your better again (since i haven't been much of a fan of that old lady you put in your previous 2 cockheros), but it was kinda too long... and she was very repetitive
Overall it was Good I gotta agree with brewster tho... It was kinda too long, too up and down so that midway through the video you get a little bit bored (too strong word but my english isn't the best so dunno how to describe it)...
Sounded like a lot of criticism but doesn't mean that the vid sucks! it's very good actually just pointing out some stuff i didn't like...
Thanks for your long in depth feedback,
My mind set for the break and for rounds 6 and 7 came from an idea in the suggestion topic. Go hard then go soft, almost denial, maybe it worked maybe it didn't, I'm constantly experimenting.
Some questions then, what would you consider the ideal number of rounds?, and would you consider gradual build up, better than up and down?
Cheers,
Andyp
hey sry for the late response
regarding length... i think CH14 was about perfect in that regard (well i skipped the reward scenes). I personally enjoy gradual build up more.
but hey in the end everybody's got a different opinion... and I still had loads of fun and admired the remarkable work you've done with this one!
so i'm happy with whatever suits you and i'm already eagerly awaiting your next project!
Round 7's Flo Rida is actually a very good music with excellent rhythms
i felt it's kinda wasted on that BJ scene tho
should be a dancing scene or some kinda "ass/boob" related scene i think
most things are alr said, so I can make it short:
- again another great andyP Cock-Hero (I love ur stroke bar ^^)
- great chicks, hot scenes, good music and nice beats
- I liked most of the rounds (brakes were also very good), but some of them were a bit too soft/boring for me.
- For the next episode my wish is: More story :) Like in the good old times 2 girls telling u what to to (the yellow one and the pink one... u know what I mean ^^)
