Thanks RoscoeBC
Yes there are limitations to everything. Interestingly, we actually have to compress even the still images. The main reason being bandwidth and display resolution. All of my still cameras are easily capable of producing high resolution images that are beyond the ability of a typical computer monitor to display. So I actually reduce the resolution of the images to that which a very good monitor can display. In full resolution the images are good enough to print posters or large prints from. The web based images aren't high enough quality to print from (At least large images) without becoming pixelated, but then again, these "smaller" images don't push the bandwidth sky high. With our web based images you still get a very clear and crisp photo (within the limits of your monitor, of course)
You are correct about the video side of things. When I want to drool over the latest and greatest in video cameras, I tend to slobber over the Red Cameras. These things have such high resolution that every frame captured is also a very high resolution still image, too. But the tremendous amount of data collected is way beyond our current storage capacity and would kill our bandwidth limits, if we tried to transmit it over the internet. You wouldn't be able to display it on your home computer in it's full glory, unless you happen to own a cinema level computer and movie screen. Our current video camera is capable of 1080P resolution, unfortunately we can't always display those images at 1080P, especially on most of the video hosting sites we use. Perhaps someday we can offer a higher resolution video images, but I do kind of chuckle when I think about the good old days of video, when the average camcorder had resolution measured in "lines per inch". I used to collect old videos from Wamtec, that were obviously rerecorded so many times that the video quality was hardly viewable, but we loved them anyway.

By RoscoeBC - Sun 13/07/14 08:57:52 GMT Hi Tess,
Just my opinions...
I didn't mean to slight the resolution of the videos as video goes, I just don't expect much resolution from video. You can do a pretty high resolution still photo and save it to a reasonable size file, which won't be a nightmare to host, download or display. Try to do video at that resolution, and not only will the camera cost a fortune, but so would the hosting. Downloading it would take a great internet connection, or take forever, and my computer at least certainly couldn't play it back smoothly anyway. From the shooting to the display, the technology and cost favor stills for resolution.
I find that in shoots that I have both in video and stills, I like the two for different reasons. If the composition, lighting, model, makeup, and outfit are gorgeous (and you guys typically score high on all counts), I want to look at the stills to see every detail. Video frustrates me. Trying to get excellent composition in a frame grab from a video is tough, it's a moving target. But, if the model's appeal is more in her flirtatious gestures and moves (maybe she is actually more of an actress than a model), that is vary hard to capture and communicate in stills, much will be lost without getting some video. I suspect some of your models know where their appeal is the strongest and instinctively play to that camera.
I guess that is one reason I was curious about the relationship between the stills and the videos, is because I like to switch back and forth to capture the experience. Plus there is just curiosity about the people and the operation behind the scenes. We mostly see the names, and the results.
Thanks for taking the time to shed a little light on the operation. :). |

By Tess with Always Wet & Sexy - Sat 12/07/14 13:01:11 GMT Hey Roscoe,
Resolution.. agreed.. but unfortunately the C4S limits our size of video and will allow us just so much size wise, possibly resolution too.. not sure really… as when i shoot it.. it looks crystal clear.. i notice however when i go and upload the clip once edited.. the quality is a hair less than what i shot originally.... but definitely good enough for some great clips!! I notice the "fuzziness" more on the sample clips on youtube.. so remember ..the reason it is on CS4 is cause it is amateur shot with a D7100 Nikon… and other video cameras as well… not with professional equipment as some of our producer friends…
aww the relationship between Ed and me… He is the "A Splash of Glamour" the photographer… and I am "Always Wet & Sexy"…. Its a long story but yes we are the same … We took the video clips off of our Splash store as it was not doing as well there and took up a lot of space … The fruition of the whole video clips was due to so many requests that we shoot video too… Ed is not a videographer… and neither am I for that matter.. but we decided that i would shoot behind the scenes of his photoshoots.. It actually was brought up about 4 years ago on a trip to Virgin Gordo by our grip.. He mentioned that it would be "cool". So , yes Ed is the photographer that the models are usually focused on him when I am videotaping .. There are some models however that are keenly aware that i am taping and will play up to me as well …Savannah for instance..
As far as our photo sets and clips being "together", this is where we started "doing our own thing" as to coordinate his work with my work in two separate offices and underwater vs no underwater and who are we going to put up next etc..became a huge sticking point..so I said.. lets separate the two… all videos have photo sets.. but not all photo sets will have videos..
As you can see with Alexis photo set in her polka dot dress we shot… Ed put her photo set up back in 2013… i on the other hand waited and put it up last week… We will make an effort to point out the photo sets or vice a versa when we upload either photos or video….
And finally, Ed would like to merge the two Always Wet & Sexy and A Splash of Glamour… once and for all.. but timing and logistics just haven't been our friend.. We are also trying to get a messy site up as well…and as far as "is he keeping me all to himself?"… yes… i do not model.. i am meant to be assisting and not posing.. and yes .. he has gotten me in the pool many a time..for fun and pleasure ;-)…( I have to test out the wardrobe)…lol.
We have many stories to tell… but the latest clip I shot , does have photos too.. and i will try and investigate the resolution problem.. but remember this is amateur video i.e. the videographer is like a voyeuer behind the scenes watching the photoshoot..and is not a pro like Ed.. but the whole idea is that you get the feeling you are beside Ed watching the shoot..
Anyway, I am rambling so hopefully I was able to enlighten you a bit as to our history… you can see more in his blogs we put up now and again on Splash..... and thanks for the comments..and feedback..
Tess

More resolution! More resolution! Will there be a still photo set?
I've been trying to figure out the relationship between Always Wet and Sexy videos and the Splash of glamour still photo sets. Do you always do both still and video? Seems to me I've seen stills with no video (which I understand if the stills are the primary objective), and videos without stills (which I don't understand, I may be wrong, but I perceive Edwin to be a still guy first).
Second question, are you in any of the sets, or is Edwin keeping you all to himself? I'd love to be able to associate a face, or a lady in a soaked evening gown and heels, to the name :). Doesn't have to be see-through :). Don't try to tell me Edwin hasn't gotten you into the pool, that might move him down a notch or two in my hero status :).
