"There are a number of factors to take into account. The biggest with amateur footage is often lighting. The typical bedroom, hotel room or living room is in no way ideal for making videos in. That's why all pros and serious amateur videographers have lights. Those lights are often balanced to daylight so that natural light can be mixed with the artificial light. These days many of us understand "colour temperature" due to the "white balance" on digital cameras. The thing is, most people prefer not to have sex under bright (even harsh) light and find soft, medium light to be more sexy...but your camcorder won't like it unless it is specifically designed for low light (unlikely). By no means less important are the skills of the videographer. A tripod is often essential unless going for the "handheld or gonzo" look. The best scene I ever filmed was a MMF with a mate and his fiancee where I had one camera on a tripod and whichever guy was not playing with the lady had a handheld. No phones. They might record 1080 but they will never be as good as a mid range camcorder with a decent optical zoom lens. The phones will also tend to record more compressed video at a lower bit rate. My 1080i camcorder will record up to 10 gig per hour of footage. That means no pixelated people when they move, no MPEG artefacts, and high quality sound. The golden rules of handheld video making are to be as steady as you can. Pan and move around slooooowly. Use the zoom sparingly, do NOT under any circumstances keep zooming in and out. A wider handheld shot can look better than a shaky one at 10x zoom. NEVER use a digital zoom as it will just reduce the picture quality (a few models excepted). Finally invest in editing software. Nothing is worse than "in camera" edits unless you have a script and really know what you're doing. Editing software allows you to cut out anything you don't like, crop the picture a little, alter the colour balance, change sound levels etc. Now...all this isn't easy. It can take 10 hours to edit together one hour of decent video footage but the difference when you watch it back is like night and day. All this involves skills. That's why pro film-makers and videographers make money. " Best filming / photography tips I’ve seen on here | |||

Best filming / photography tips I’ve seen on here " that all being said about lighting etc etc...in a swinging environment..I rarely have it 'set' up...I'm happy to hand my camera over to another... I personally love the look of professional studio shots..but it is very rare that they are play shots...and it usually comes across in the fabbed pics..the most expensive camera in the world or the best lighting whatever... dont really grab people. I love the editing part..I know I can make a shit pic look good...it might not be professional looking but I never had to set up shots etc | |||

"Hello to you wonderful fabbers. Would like some advice on best way of getting a good quality recording of us playing. Obviously like most of you I’m sure, we have used camcorders and the like and even used multiple iPhones lol. We only want the footage for our own use but would be nice to have some high quality film rather than hubbys attempts which frankly, would have been smoother being shot by Michael j Fox. Now do we ........ 1)Get someone in to film ? 2)Stop bitching and use our phone like most people ? 3) get some new ideas from you lot Thanking you all in advance and happy shagging " We are wanting the same, and figure the best way is to have some else film us, maybe you could film us and then we film you....? x | |||
