Interesting discussion... I've seen so many comments about bad video filming quality over the years.. whereas I personally actually don't really care! (as long as you can somehow recognize in the video whats happening :D

When watching real movies, quality is really important for me, but with porn (what I think wetlook is for most of us) it's more about the action and emotion and less about seeing super sharp and perfectly lit pictures... I was always wondering, are there other people who think like me?

Good point. Many people who shoot videos have no knowledge of how to do it. With so many cell phone cameras out there people think that you just 'point-'n-shoot' and get an instant great video. Pros shoot from a tripod or image-stabilized camera. They are always aware of the lighting and where it comes from. A pro should never shoot from the shady side of a subject unless they are going for just profile shots. I'm no expert on shooting wetlook but when I see the mistakes I can usually ID them because I make the same errors shooting photos.

So, you get someone with a new cell phone and a friend who wants to get wet and they start shooting. Then they think that they can sell it. Not as easy as it looks.

Question about video

I've been a customer of various wetlook producers for some time and gathered a collection of videos from various sites. In fact so many, that I realized I need to organize it somehow to make any use of it. I started to put videos into folders, rating them by how much I like a certain video. This got me thinking the following.

Why did more than half of the videos go to the "not so great" folder? Not because of the models or clothing - the models are almost always great and the clothing at least "good enough". In most cases, the reason is some technical issue about the video. Low resolutions and blocky videos have mostly disappeared, but even in the new videos the settings of the camera sometimes don't seem to match the lighting, so the scene is dark. More often, I find myself disagreeing with the zooming decisions of the cameraperson or unhappy about shaking picture or the viewing angles. I feel that I cannot see what I would like to see in the video.

Filming wetlook is obviously difficult. I'm no video expert so I cannot say how to do this "right", if there even is such a thing. I don't intend this as a rant either but hope that it could be a discussion opener. For me, the ultimate experience would be if I could select the zoom and the viewing angle myself when looking at the video. I realize this is not easy and might involve significant cost - a VR camera perhaps, but I'm not really interested in 360 degree view but rather in alternative viewing angles and zooms, so some kind of multicam setup could do. The question is, do producers see this as something that could possibly be done in the future?
