codecs
in the past few days i have learned more about video codecs than i would have ever really liked to. but i have come to the decision that i should not seek out a job as a professional editor, and i should really think about investing in a mac (in the breakup, the mac went with my ex and consequently so did final cut... so im trying to make the best of cutting my school projects with avid and its fucking bullshit proprietary software).
anyways, i kind of want to jock a recent porno release that im in: a film by the infamous Eon McKai, titled "On My Dirty Knees." while his work has been ultimately groundbreaking in the adult industry at many points in his career, i would personally say that this marks another milestone. i dont think he, personally, has put out anything as interesting since his vivid alt, debut, Girls Lie. Of course, there was the Doll Underground, which was good, but didnt sit as well with me because its a corporate porn release with a sort of vague anti-consumer propaganda message that no one else involved really held as their own... i think it gave it a somewhat illegitimate tone(still, what other pornographer would have treaded such territory?).
but back to On My Dirty Knees: it mimics the themes of Girls Lie by fabricating scenarios from the lives of the actual female talent, which in this case are only two girls: Andy San Dimas and Violet Skye (both unbelievably hot if youre into skinny pale girls with black hair). in doing so, it deals with extremely contemporary situations that really couldnt have existed until the last several years. its like comparing porn to music. as the process of producing content becomes cheaper, the market gets oversaturated to the point that there are no longer key players in the industry. not only that, people post themselves fucking for free, so theres almost no reason to pay for pornography anymore. especially when the amateur stuff is more dynamic and interesting... real people, real sex, real orgasms, acknowledgment of what turns on average viewers, or even niche viewers.... yet the story with andy and violet acknowledges the easier access to chances for exposure, their bodies/sexuality still act as commidities by financial and escapist means. in essence, a young girl can move in places not granted to those (heterosexuals) of the opposite sex. as a sexual commidity and adventurer, she has easier access to money, travel (way out of her home town... i.e. what college is to the young academics), and micro-fame through the manipulation of the micro-famous (who's exploiting who in these scenarios?).
aside from that, its just a good movie in aesthetic terms. killer soundtrack by Heshen, some fancy editing on eon's part, and all the scenes are pretty fucking good (though i must admit i dont watch much of the sex part.... they still look hot in fast forward motion).
