LETS GET READY TO MUMBLE WITH jOHNNY AND PAUL!!!

[Beth]

the sound doesn't bother me since Id do without it more than minimum. I gave it a 4 I love Johnny and Paul but this had something missing not that sure what.

I think it had to do with two tops and one was trying to bottom...just sayin'

I gotta say that I do see Paul as more of a top too, so that probably what seemed "weird/off" to you, Joey. Just like Beth said, both guys are tops.

You make good points ladies.

I believe Clay was telling the truth when he said that Paul had been a little preoccupied earlier in the day because he knew this bottoming scene was coming. I'm also sure that Paul was well aware that Johnny packed a bigger dick than many other models. Maybe he even did have a sense of dread going into the scene. lol Of course Paul put in his usual stellar effort, even if he would have preferred being on top instead. haha

I will be honest. I'm honesty beyond tired of Johnny Forza he's had way too many scenes and he has not gotten any better. Yes he's very pretty to look at and has a body of a god but everything else is a turn off. I liked him in the beginning but not anymore. Paul is a god and deserved better then this.

Well Y&C I can relate to your sense of Johnny fatigue. I do think he has really improved over when he was doing some sub-par scenes a while back. He still doesn't do well at oral. But he's shown more effort and some improvement on that front also. I think the issue now is more a bit of overexposure. I think if his scenes were spaced out farther apart (Like 1 every 4-6 weeks) that he could still stay more "fresh" in viewers' eyes.

Am I the only person who didn't have any trouble hearing this or did they fix it?

 

[tampa24]

Mark, I have spent my entire adult life working in the broadcast field and I think you'll find that the mics are probably fine. What is lacking is GAIN! If you do not have the ability to increase gain and monitor levels during the filming of the scene, the audio can easily be increased in your post production facility. A relatively inexpensive control board with good VU meters will show your "post" department just how much gain is in the recording and how much it needs to be boosted by the control board to get to an average of Zero VU. Anything that is above that can be reduced or lower levels can be increased with the simple slide pot on the board.

This issue definitely needs your attention until everyone is on board with how to provide consistent sound levels. Thank you for taking this seriously. Far better for viewers to have to lower the audio level on their computers than to have to strain to try to hear what is being said by both the models and by Clay.

Thank you for that Chase. The sounds issues in this scene were not horrific. They were just not of the quality one would expect from such a prominent studio. I am in no way an expert on sound equipment, but my instincts lead me in your direction also. Since Mark just purchased new sound equipment a while back, I'm guessing that that part of the equation is taken care of. It seems much more likely to me as a layperson that the sound issues could be more readily resolved in the editing room. When they are splicing and dicing the footage, one of their other jobs is to make adjustments to the audio quality.

As trained professionals there are ways they can boost or otherwise calibrate audio during the editing process. If the audio is below par and they are releasing in that state, then that's on them. If they know the sound quality is poor and they can do nothing to fix it, then it's up to them as quality control experts in videography to communicate that problem upstairs through the chain of command. It shouldn't be up to the viewers to point out obvious weaknesses. This is one of those issues where simply throwing more money at the problem is probably not the best or even easiest course of action.

I am soooo glad someone else had the courage to say this! I have been feeling this for a while and have expressed the sentiment in many of my posts! I'm feeling similarly about Adam too! Not so much in his failure to perform as much as the lack of enthusiasm.

I really enjoy your posts betyoudidntknow. I don't always agree with your opinions and perspective, but I love the points and the questions that you raise.

By coincidence over this past weekend I was exchanging views with a forumite who is not currently posting on the forum, (for his own reasons). But I said to him that the two guys* on the site right now who I believe are basically straight in their sexual orientation are Johnny and Adam, and those are the two guys who you criticize for "lack of enthusiasm". To my way of thinking, I don't expect straight guys to be enthusiastic about having sex with another dude, but that is my own minority perspective on this forum.

* I also mentioned Ayden as a third primarily straight guy who is probably a one or two on the Kinsey Scale (1 Predominantly heterosexual, only incidentally homosexual, 2 Predominantly heterosexual, but more than incidentally homosexual).

I am always appreciative of your thoughts and comments too! I gain a lot more understanding when I ask questions. I know sometimes it can sound a bit "analytical" but, I don't profess to know everything about this world of sexuality. You are always very helpful....Thanks mikeyank!

LOL, I see you fellow New Yorkers are sticking together and continue to sabotage each thread with the same old story. Get over it guys, there will never be another BSB1 or 2.5 and no more Jimmy (thank god) or other such losers.

My pleasure, betu. I know that you are a fan of different kinds of porn scenes than turn me on, but I enjoy the fact that there are so many diverse opinions and perspectives here. Someone once said that I've been here "forever". Not quite, but I've been here a long time, and I enjoy sharing my points of view on the various topics that interest fans of Broke Straight Boys

 

[morgey]

When I gave up on Broke Straight Boys my main complaint was the sound quality and I see things haven't improved very much over the last year. When there are two or more people talking the echo in the room makes it impossible to decipher the conversation. At least the intrusive cameraman/director is gone. I won't be missing his mumbling.

This was an older scene shot before I got there...I noticed problems with audio levels day one upon entering the studio....problems that I adjusted and corrected - I'm using the same microphone...booming it in a different fashion and am hard wired in cannonXLR direct to the new camera. I also do my own post (editing) and you're right, any problems with levels can also be boosted in post to a certain degree - I haven't had any problems with audio at all...again, this wasn't even shot recently nor was it shot by me. Hope you enjoy the NEW audio in the scenes I have shot as I think hearing every little breath can be sometimes just as important as eliminating shadows and getting good shots...although the problem was already fixed I still appreciate any feedback. Thanks,
Johnny

No. This scene is an older one that was released in August.
