How To Be A Second Life "3D" Porn Model - Serenity Juneberry

3D TV and Cinema is a huge deal right now. It's the next big thing ( so why not see some big things in a whole new light!? :P ). I have seen 3D porn movies, and they blew me away! So, i thought it would be fun to experiment with it and show off my assets! You may have seen 2 posts on this blog, and i have just completed two more photoshoots, with 3D in mind.

It's not that hard to film in 3D in RL or to take photographs, and in SL the equipment is free of course in terms of your camera. Because the physics in SL, and angles, and perspective is the same as in RL the same principals can be used for 3D photography in the SL world.

All you need to take a 3D image in Second Life is a little practice on the camera control, static poses ( this is vital, i'll explain later. ) and finally photoshop.

Taking The Picture.

Step 1. Get on a NON ANIMATED pose ball, or animation script. Find your desired angle, and frame your picture in the traditional way.

Step 2. Take your snapshot, and save to your hard drive. Then, tap the right side arrow on your "Rotate camera Around" control. This will allow you to take an image with a slighly offset angle left to right. Take this snapshot and save in the same way.

Doing this creates the whole principal behind 3D photography. The first image represents your left eye, which you will make Red later. The second image represents your right eye, this one will be blue/cyan.

Trial and error, and practice will see you dial in the correct amount of camera movement between the pair of images.

In Photoshop

Step 3. Open the images in photoshop. Where you see the thumbnail and "background" down to the lower right in PS click and make it a layer. Once it's a layer, click on it again. This opens the "Layer Style" box.

In "Advanced Blending" you'll see check boxes for the RGB channels. Look at your snapshot numbers. the lowest we want to make red. So uncheck, both green and blue channels. You will see your image turn red. With the higher numbered snapshot, do the same, but uncheck the Red channel. Leaving Blue and Green. This will leave you with a cyan tinted image.

Now, just simply drag and drop one layer on to the other. I drag the red to the blue, but i doubt it matters. Line up the images, and view with your Red and Cyan 3D glasses.

If you have shifted your camera enough, you'll see depth in the image and a 3D effect. if you've over done it, you'll see the image is not so clear, it'll be blurry, and hard on the eyes. You'll have to fine tune this yourself while doing your photography to get a nice balance between clarity of image and 3D depth.

With your glasses on, you can now process the image to suit your tastes, also some processing can help the 3d effect, such as brightness, and contrast, or de saturating. All images are different, experiment and find the best looks. save your image, same as always, in whatever way you do things.

And you're done. :)

If you have a real desire to be in a 3D pic..I am more than happy to chat in world. Or via comments here.

Director Spotlight - Natalie Xenga's - Una Notte a Roma

I have to say first off, i think it's a shame, that somebody i well and truly regard as being among the top movie makers on the SL porn scene right now, seems to be keeping under every bodies radar. Hopefully, this post, along with the exposure on Emanuelle Jameson's Second Life Blog, can see her getting the credit she deserves. Natalie seems to me to be a huge talent, in photography, and is now transferring that great eye to movie making.

This is not a highly topical review, this movie has been out since early March. I had been waiting for it to make an appearance on Naughty Machinima before featuring it here, so to boost it's views and help it further.

I can't wait any longer though! 

Una Notte a Roma

Natalie Xenga's or NXP's movies are hard to criticise, the end product is highly polished, and make for exceptional viewing. However, even a casual viewer can see there is a lot more going on here than just aiming a SL viewer camera into a SL apartment. This is where the appreciation, and admiration should begin to unfold. Natalie does not just make a movie she craft's it, and i can bet she's spent many, many hours on a production before and after the filming takes place. Possibly the filming itself is the easiest, and quickest part of the whole process.

Going by my own experiences, I'm assuming, green screen, and layers are used to create a world within a world. As i said when Paradise Isle was shot, it's ironic, Hollywood uses green screen to put actors into a virtual world, and now it's being used to bring about the complete opposite. Virtual actors are being placed into the real world, via post production methods like Natalie's.

In this case, Jinx and Natalie as stars of this movie were placed in a totally real world and a very inviting hotel room in Rome.

Some SL porn movies are extravagant sex shows, in your face, hard core, and deliberate exhibitions. There is though another kind of erotic movie. This type places the viewer almost in the role of a fortunate voyeur. In "Una Notte a Roma" we almost feel we are invading the privacy of this loving couple. It's warm, cosy, romantic, and very intimate. This does not mean the sex is low key, it's as adventurous as any, and it unfolds in a very natural way.

For whatever reason's Natalie is going about her business with this, and other projects, such as her exceptional music video's. In a low key manner. I feel her views are too low compared to the movies released around it. I think she deserves far more, When you wish to create something special which requires innovation, planning, creativity, and longer production times. It can be hard up against others who are making possibly up to 20 movies for every one of yours. Things can gather pace for a prolific director, casting many people in numerous movies. So, in turn if you operate at the other end of the spectrum, without that kind of exposure, you can at times find it harder to make a name for yourself.

So, i wish her well, and congratulate her on her amazing efforts so far. I always look out for them, rate, and comment. I hope you join me and do the same. We need producer's like on our scene.

The Night Of A 1000 Pornstars

I will glady accept snapshots from anybody wanting to further the coverage of this amazing community event. Just send them to me in world. "Serenity Jueneberry".

Big thanks have to go to Emanuelle for her work organising this huge event, it was both thoughtful, and hard work on her part and we along with the other venues did our very best to make it a success. It was great to party with Ema, and see her at Club Erotique during her visits, her TP's were on over drive as she went from party to party all night!

We raised a fraction under L$30,000 at Club Erotique, it was a great night, but always in the back of your mind was this terrible trajedy, which i was proud to see prompted such an amazing response from the SL Porn Community and Pornstars group.

Also very special thanks to DJ "Rajdreamer Innovia"  He generously stepped up to the plate and provided an excellent set for the party goers. Which i know contributed to the big total we were able to raise at the club.

I have captured some nice snapshot's of Ema and a whole host of pornstars, i hope you enjoy the pics.

March 26th - SL Porn Box Office

This week was a week featuring plenty of re releases following some technical issues at other sites.

This can be a good thing, as those new to the scene can see older work by well known producer's, or it can even be good for the producer to look back and see how they are progressing too. For myself and Scooby Mode re uploading to Naughty Machinima saw us having featured movies with our replacement versions. As the sites policy rightly so does not consider embedded releases for featured movies. The down side is this can rule out some great stuff, but given the technical problems many of us have had to fix with uploading again it seems wise as it would place some prominent movies outside of their control, from a reliability angle.

Some very well known producers feature on the chart this week, and in the "Trending Section" Emanuelle Jameson, Aurora Bentham, Scooby Mode and Rysan. Again though it was featured movie status that helped clinch the #1 spot, for our movie "Web Cam Voyeur". Thanks to everybody who watched, and especially those who may have hit the feature button. It meant a lot to both myself and Arwen. xx

Emanuelle appears in 3 movies in the top five! ( I predict this hot Starlet will go a long way in SL Porn! :P )

It's a feature of this weeks Box Office that we see Ema as recently shot as last week, looking mouth watering in Scooby's colourful ( no..i can spell..honestly, i am just British. ) and vivid Hot Summer Day, along side Yacht Club, a movie which is a real classic on our scene, given another airing due to a re upload. Also featuring of course, the ground breaking, always popular, and one of the hottest SL movies of all time La Cagna Ricca.

It's been a busy week on the Porn scene for some, and not just on the movie making front. I was very proud to be a co owner of one of the clubs taking part in the Japan Relief Red Cross fund raiser "Night Of A 1000 Pornstars" What a great example of a community spirit. Thanks to Ema for a great job managing it..and all the hard work she put in, it was a pleasure to help out the way we did.

The Last 7 Days - SL Porn Box Office

A funny old week! 

I thought i'd seen it all..."My Lover Toy" would not have taken any place here from another movie, as it was not made in SL ( Sex Villa, and it was made by somebody else entirely than the producer who uploaded it, way back in 2008. )

As with Emanuelle's blog, we will have to think twice about inclusions from this producer, as we hope to promote a honest picture of the scene here.

I felt it was a pretty strong week, but slower, and i believe that's a good thing. Two movies with Scooby Mode's new hard ware set up feature, both on the chart, and added to the new "Trending" section to follow. The hugely impressive debut movie, "Maid To Be Made" claims a spot in the top 5 ( If we had a chart for best NM screen names "Do Me Thursday" would be #1!!! ) . Another new producer LeehornGold, has the exciting "Goes Black" series featured too in Trending. Deelite comes in at number 5, which is no reflection on the movie, as it was mid week release. As usual it's high class, sexy, and extremely well produced.

The big two this week, is a well deserved number 2 spot for PrinceJD, with the beautifully shot "Stranded", and a very well deserved number one spot for Pixie Rain. She has a huge amount of fans, myself included. She's a star, and i wish we saw more of her at Naughty Machinima.

I re uploaded our movie, Web Cam Voyeur yesterday, following the Blip.TV cull this week! Hoping for a trending spot. I'm sure you can cut me some slack and acknowledge it's definately trending! Throw me a bone..i never review my own movies either! LOL ( good job really as i am my own worst critic..i may even give myself 1 star. :P )

My Lover Toy - How To Get A Hit Movie With Somebody Elses Work.

I have lost count of how many times Katia has deleted me trying to tell viewers and visitors at NM such as Ruff, and Pelon, and hundreds of others who are under the impression, due partly I'm sure to her broken English, that she never made the movie "My Lover Toy" . She claims she is not intending to take credit for it and has informed everybody via her comments. This message seems lost in translation,  and in addition she seems to be happy to sit back and accept the praise by guys like Ruff, and be happy for Emanuelle to blog her, clearly believing she had made this film. Without setting any of them straight. I do not believe any of her comments have made it clear she never produced this movie.

We use NM to upload our own movies, if you are not going to credit a creator on your movie, or clearly credit them in the description, i don't believe it's fair. Katia has clearly mislead people with this movie. She has removed all my attempts to pass on this information.

This animation has been doing the rounds since 2008 at least, I'd seen it many times over the years, it is widely distributed online, on porn video sites, and 3d animation porn sites.

Last week, i considered stopping the Box Office feature due to fixed views, and boosting by refresh, i really don't want to add uploads of other peoples movies, to the list. along with that, and alt accounts to rate movies higher too, it's getting impossible for a new producer especially to stand out.

To think this video may get more credit, more views, and Katia may recieve more attention and praise than somebody like Pixie Rain, with her magnificent "Showdown" just makes me concerned.

I am giving her the benefit of the doubt, and i'l lsay publicly i'm willing to believe she never set out to claim this as her own. However, she's done nothing to put the record straight, and refused my offers to post a notice stating her apparent true intentions.

So, here's a proper movie, by somebody worthy of high praise and congratulations.

Showdown - Pixie Rain

Stranded - PrinceJD Galicia

Stranded : Starring : PrinceJD Galicia, Krystal Pearl.


Directed & Edited : PrinceJD Galicia

I was very lucky to receive a advance copy of this movie earlier this week. From the very first shot i loved it.

The warm sunset, and long shadows all serve to make it a beatiful romantic setting. It was a well constructed movie set, and all the elements combined, i felt really took you there. ( Krystal got taken there..again and again by the looks of it! )

I entered into the porn scene at around the same time as JD, me as a director/actress, him as a actor. I was also lucky enough to star in his directing debut. JD is a wonderful director to work with, patient and laid back, but still with an eye for detail and desire to make things as good as he can. JD is really evolving, and i feel anybody watching this film would say beyond doubt JD has really found his style, and well and truly found his feet as a director. Another plus for the audience here, is JD's use of a High Definition uploaded video. Due to the increased detail, and colour palette of HD video we are able to enjoy more subtle lighting effects and it gives JD lots more scope on the more artistic side, allowing him to use a wider range of lighting too, which may have been lost, or even make for hard viewing on a small embedded, or low quality screen window.

This production really saw great use of the viewer. When we talk about effects, it's not to showcase showing off for the sake of it, or undermining those who cannot do so. They come to the fore front and add the icing on the cake if they enhance the scene, or aid story telling. You can make a fantastic movie without these top of the line viewer effects, or post production effects. In Hollywood terms, a classic from the 1950's will still beat a very average CG effects laden movie from today. You can have style, and put effort in and create something special. It's just fortunate that Director's such as JD can manage both here in "Stranded".

We are treated to some lovely angles, scenes here. Some very artistic and creative, such as those shot through the lace drapes. Both avatars really suite each other, it's not often you can say a couple on a SL movie seem to have chemistry or look so right together, but Krystal and JD looked fantastic and looked wonderful together, making the whole picture very natural and beautiful.

Congrats JD..We all want more!
