The rise of HDTV, and now high-definition DVD content, has made many adult film stars nervous even though adult entertainment publishers can’t rush fast enough to push their content out in high-def or on HD-DVD. Worries about every scar, scratch, and imperfection being magnified and projected on walls and on 50-inch TVs have adult movie stars worried about the future of their industries and some even rushing to get cosmetic surgery to cover up blemishes, breast implant scars, and the like. Meanwhile the studios have taken a side in the high-def DVD debate (siding with HD-DVD) and are pushing out downloads and videos in high-def as much as possible.
Families with new high-definition camcorders and news anchors being broadcast in HD have already discovered just how revealing the picture quality is. But few professionals bare as much in front of the camera as adult-film stars, and many are nervous abut the new technology.
“We’re all terrified,” said Stefani Morgan, a star at Vivid Entertainment Group, one of the largest adult movie makers. “I want to be a fantasy. I don’t want to show flaws.”
High-definition picture quality is so good that watching sports on HDTV is like being on the field. Adult industry directors compare it to being in the room.
“I think high-definition is good from a fan’s perspective because it puts everything so beautifully,” said Jenna Jameson, founder and the star of Club Jenna. “But from a woman’s perspective, we hate it because you can see every little piece of our body,” she added.
I don’t think the ladies are the only ones who should have something to worry about, frankly. Even so, the adult entertainment industry has always been a frontrunner in both video and web content delivery and technology (as odd as it is to say or believe that) and word is that there might be ways to produce high-def content that’s still…modest and forgiving to the actors and actresses on screen.
