Porn Industry Tiptoes Into 3D Video

itwbennett writes "The 3D porn experience is coming (eventually) to a home theater near you. Most adult filmmakers are moving slowly toward 3D video because of higher production cost, the small number of 3D TVs in the home, and, of course, the glasses. Rob Smith, director of operations at Hustler Video Group says he hopes that market penetration of 3D TVs in the home is high enough that 'by the fourth quarter of this year it will be at the point where we can justify doing a 3D product.' The average adult movie costs around $25,000 to $40,000 to make, and 3D movies cost about 30% more, says Ali Joone, founder of Digital Playground. But Joone thinks the biggest hurdle for 3D isn't so much the cost as the glasses: people don't want to be encumbered by eyewear when viewing a film, says Joone."

  1. Speaking of money shots... by maillemaker · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Speaking of money shots, why is it currently in vogue to finish all sex scenes by having the man ejaculate in the mouth and all over the face of the woman?

    Does anyone find this a turn-on? To me, it's gross and degrading. I love looking at nekkid women, but I'll pass on the blowjob and cum-on-the-face scenes. Lack of empathy, I guess.

    You know, like keeping the camera in focus and not moving around and getting the camera guy to shut up?
