Well I use Sony FX1000 which is kinda standard level for all other websites as well.
I have my own tricks to make the video supersharp and extra crispy, plus i got acquainted with my camcorder very closely so i exactly know what im doing… ( in most cases lol) I’m still learning. At Jr nationals for example i learned not to use auto settings ever again. In direct sunlight when on auto, the camcorder automatically uses shade filters which lower the brightness, not to overexpose. But then the camcorder also raises the sensitivity which causes speckles of griain which in my opinion misses the pointtotally, why would i lower the brightness witha a filter only to raise sensitivity which lowers the quality of the footage. Oh well – lesson learned. I had to use auto because sun was so bright i didnt see shit on LCD, in order to be able to control exposure manually. So now i got to buy the shade cover for the lcd and SHOOT MANUAL, and that will solve the problem. 🙂As for the titles on the pages thanks for bringing that up, i already fixed it. When i create new profile pages i usually use the old ones as a template in this case it was Alica’s page and i simply forgot to change the title. 🙂

Personally, I like the focus on the more muscular fitness models, although that does put you in competition with Krivs Studio. I love the fitness-type women who still have peaked biceps like Angela Kegler, Yenny Polanco, Rauchelle Schultz, et al, so nice job in picking them. My only real issue is that some of the videos seem to be improperly deinterlaced (the first one for Rauchelle Schultz, for example), and there’s some general slightly odd coloring/digital noise that I don’t really feel qualified to pin down. I’d be fine if you reduced the resolution to 720 instead of 1080 since there are other encoding factors more important than the raw pixel count, but that’s partly just because my PC tends to chug a bit on full 1920×1080 videos.
The 3D is an interesting idea that I’d have to wait until getting some red/blue glasses to give more comment on, but I do think the same pictures/videos should always be available in non-3D versions, since that’s going to remain a niche thing.
I don’t have many negative comments about the shoots themselves, except that it really annoys me when there’s a model with beautiful muscles who never actually flexes, most notably Monica Escalante in this case.
Let’s see… I really like the outfit in Theresa Hendricks’s shoot (sexy!), but the camera was kind of unstable, I think that was the case in a couple other videos too.
Overall I really like the site, it could use more content but obviously it’s just getting started, so I can’t hold that against it too much 🙂
If you’re taking suggestions for future videos, I love it when women flex while wet (from a pool, etc) or oiled up, or when wearing tight clothing so we can see the muscles through the material (biceps especially). If they have nice glutes it’s great when they show them off by clenching or controlling them (Alina Popa seems to be especially good at this). Also, I don’t know how easy she is to get, but Deidre Pagnanelli seems to have come out of semi-retirement and is actually looking amazing these days, and would fit well on your site. Keep up the good work!

Thanks for taking time to reply 😉 Some of the videos were shot with the crappy JVC camcorder which didnt produce crazy quality – therefore grain, and it was so small it wasnt stable in my hands. Rauchelle’s clip was one of the first i ever edited from the new SONY camcorder, it was deinterlaced properly it’s just that it was shot at 60i instead 30p, thats why it is interlaced in first place, couldnt do much about it in premiere.
About Monica, well she clearly stated that she doesnt want to flex, we had to respect that. However she is so beautiful and I told her to move and make her muscles flex in the movements…so i think it works :). Some people like that, and its impossible for me to hit eveyone’s tastes hehe. But we will try to have all bodytypes featured. Big muscular bodybuilders, sexy figure girls, and muscular fitness girls. 🙂
Some of the girls we do oil up, but you have to remember that they are there to compete, and if we shoot them before the show they wear protan and we cant oil them up without ruining the tanning.
We shot Rauchelle again last weekend and her biceps was even more impressive this year since she competed in physique, not in figure. And we shot her after the show so we sprayed her with very shiny spf100 sunscreen which makes the skin literally glossy.
Latest 3D clips are shot with the 3d camcorder, first ones were shot with 2 camcorders on tripods, so putting them together was a pain and somehow the allignment hurts the eyes slightly. But we shot atleast 5 minutes in 3d with EACH girl with a proper 3d camcorder, so there will be plenty. Imagine Rauchelle’s biceps poppiing in yo’ face haha – its coming!
Best regards Tigersan
