Still a lot of behind the scenes/photoshoot style video?

I've been a member and it is a very high quality site but I found too much of the above. Any recent members' experience?

Editing older material???

Anybody here now or recently?

Lost the best part of my stash/vids from this site - among others Emma and Bulle.

Only reason I at this point want to rejoin is getting that material back - BUT: the quality THEN, including the vids of models mentioned were rather la,la,la...

So do Explicite Art - like some other sites - edit their older vids into better quality???

I agree about the camera work but not for the same reason. I just get very annoyed when the camera angle is CONSTANTLY changing around, it is very frustrating and happens too frequently in many of the videos.

My membership expired last week and I was a member a couple of years ago and little has changed. It makes sense for them to remain this way because they are still getting customers. Their search options aren't the greatest but you can do a search using the models name and get access to all her content with one click. IMO they have the best download options on the net when it comes to video and they hold their own against many other on the photo side as well.

The only thing that I can fault them is that their videos are too short. I'd prefer longer videos.

Tom you have to understand that not everyone has the same preferences. Some people like all close-ups. What I don't understand is why you say, "price is too high for just photos". They have over 1,200 videos. And while I can respect anyone not liking a style of video or the way it is filmed, for someone like me, who has never videoed anything, it becomes a non-factor. Similar to how say a mainstream movie critic criticizes a movie not being in HD. I don't even have a HD tv. The old adage of different strokes for different folks applies and that's why you should review it in the 60s if that's your feelings about is since I'm sure there are some people who have the same preferences as you. I'm just not for sure about criticizing others scores based on your opinion. That goes into the whole, "I'm right, you all are wrong".

I agree with you totally on the camera work, for the most part its just totally bad. They do manager to get it right in a very few videos --- like the "Emma - Hardcore" (not Emma Gun, the other Emma that they only have one video of) was done well. And they do have some fisting which is a plus, but the site really really needs to find somebody that knows how to run a video camera.

If they shot their videos the same way they do their still photo shoots, then they would have something. But they don't, in the videos, for the most part, its just face and ass all the time.

Maybe they have improved since I was a member, but I doubt it, this is a French site afterall, and of course the "French know everything."

I have no idea why people rate this site so high

I've joined this site twice. First time was maybe 4 years ago. Then I joined it again back in December of 2008. I was very disappointed both times.

I guess I should have done a review the last time, but I'll tell you from my experience back then, I would have rated this site in the mid-sixties range.

Their navigation is horrible, or at least it was in late 2008. And their camera work is awful, practically all they show you is close-ups of either the girls face or her butt ... and that's it.

They do have very good still photos, but the site price is way too high for just photos. If they would greatly improve their navigation and especially their video camera work, then maybe it would deserve a "90," but it sure didn't deserve anywhere near that the last time I checked.

Personal impression.

I thought this site to be the very peculiar one.
I think that the impression changes greatly by the person.
Therefore, I stopped grading it.
I became a member for three months.
And, I saw all works. There are very a lot of movies and photographs. However, the movie has some very short things.

There are quite a lot of works of anal sex.
I wanted you to teach that beforehand.
I do not like anal sex. However, it might be happy for a favorite person. One woman disliked anal sex, and there was a crying movie. I was not able to enjoy the movie quite.
I do not understand the reason to stick to anal sex.

Next, there are a lot of very beautiful photographs. Because other seniors also are commenting about this, it doesn't write a lot. However, there were some things that I did not have in the favor either.
The woman is a heavy make-up, and it poses unnatural.

Download is a little slow.

I posted a comment at PU (this site) on Aug 11, 2009 about how photoflashes by photographers ruin some of the videos. I also said that the artsy style of the photography is an acquired taste. The site has both good and bad points. So it's up to the viewer whether he wants to pay for a site membership.

Regarding lack of response to emails requesting help, that's a problem at other sites as well. And I have posted at PU when I did not get a response to emails requesting help at different sites.

So your experience is not unique. And it's helpful when you state your opinions clearly, so other PU members can decide whether a site is worth joining.

I did not disagree with your review. I was merely pointing out that some PU members enjoyed the site and gave it good scores (in spite of any minor problems they may have had).

But your experience at the site was poor, and that results in a lower score.

Well, yes, personal tastes differ, though I've seen more reviews of this site that complain about the iffy camerawork. I did read good things about Explicite (on a different review site) and signed up on that basis, only to find that I had chosen a very flaky time to do so - the site was malfunctioning for several days. OK, problems happen, but the attitude of the owners is important, and their lack of response was the key factor. I felt more like a cash cow than a valued customer!

And you can try to sign up via Epoch AT the site - but, man, here it's even worse: Euro 29.95...

I regret that your experience was so bad. This is a pretty good site in general. This is the type of site that you join if you want to follow the development of a girl as she is starting in the porn biz. I don't know of any other site that does that.

I don't know if you read a few of the PU reviews before you took the plunge. I notice that a few mentioned that the dialogue was all French.

You might want to post in the forum the type of sites that appeal to you and the ones that you avoid. I'm sure that you will get some great suggestion

Camera Work/Direction Needs Improvement On Newer Videos

I rejoined this site after a couple years (and giving a very good review). I think Monsieur Root thinks of himself as an "artiste". For porno, the camera work and direction is not proper to the genre. It seems that every view of the "action" is limited to 2 or 3 seconds before you get a cut or edit to something else---very often a close up of a stunt cock's face. I feel like I'm back in the 1970s when directors were afraid of showing too much sex lest they be charged with obscenity,so they did quick cuts and plenty of male facial closeups. We don't need to worry about that anymore. Consumers want to see the sex, and they don't want to see male faces.

Maybe you'd like it better, I don't know, since you're into vids. For me, who thought they'd gone to 3000 px photos as a standard, it was a downer. Only OCCASIONALLY do they do them at that size.

Worse still, the downloads are SLOW, SLOW, SLOW! Like 60-70 kbps. Even the thumb pages, even the individual shots at 800px (for modest closer inspection) are slow. Imagine waiting 15 minutes for one gallery of 100 pics at 1800 pixels.

Maybe the routers will work better next time, but this first return visit has been like a return to my DSL days with a lousy ISP.

Both paysitediscounts and TBP have a special price of $24.95 listed for this site, but repeated attempts from different links from those sites always bring up a join page with ccbill that lists $29.95.

What's the deal? (I mean, if there really is one ...)

UPDATE: Thanks to Khan stepping in for my not-so-computer-savvy-this-morning brain, I got the problem fixed and the discount.

When I was a member this past spring and summer, I'd say a little under half the video updates were "behind the scenes" style; most of them, BTS and otherwise, has a photo set they obviously corresponded to, but were mostly shot separately, so you don't get flashbulbs going off except during cumshots.

I should add that they did not use capchas and were quite download manager friendly at that time, so these would seem to be recent changes.
