since i actually work in this multi- billion dollar industry out here in the valley as a professional photo retoucher (no kidding) and office manager; is anyone REALLY sure they want HD porn?
trust me i stare at raw images of these women 40 hours a week and 90% of these women need HEAVY retouching. sometimes i want to pull my hair out! many of the companies i know of aren't jumping on the HD or Blu-Ray bandwagon either as the DVD sales for adult entertainment are really dropping as most of us have already or are switching to web streams. and then there's the format war. some of the stuff obvioulsy is in HD but, i don't think this will be one war that porn decides... ther'es just not enough money in it to make the switch. you shoot your footage, you take your pics- edit it all in house and put it online. you save tons of money on duplications, printing, etc. etc. the company i work for does a few million in business a year and i'd say about 5% of that is in actual physical dvd sales. it may be a decent chunk of change but, not enough to invest tons of $ in HD equipment (although we do have one HD camera). plain and simple most of the "talent" don't want to be seen in HD and switching to HD won't boost profits enough to make sense financially when you figure in all the costs to do it.
But, anyhow, yeah- be careful what you wish for...
