Why is JAV image quality and encoding still looking like in 2005?

If you follow production companies on twitter they often have behind the scenes photos and videos that they post there, at least I think so.. example being TODOProduce who I just followed because Azuki was doing a shoot with them and they posted a bunch of pics and short video clips.. I'm with you though that would be a nice extra.
I would be nice if the production companies would simply included these simple behind the scenes clips and pics if they already make them.

Thz.la are the best. The morons that upload the poor quality + large yellow font vids are the worse. Half of the time the quality is crap anyway. + the into advertising their Chinese escorts, god.

BTS is not the story behind the movie.

I've seen too many porn actresses who couldn't explain how to open a paper bag. Listen to 2 minutes of conversation then you will know the reason she is in the industry.

Interviewers are no better. Questions are written in Crayola straight from the horse's mouth. Most of these idiots are trying to get on-camera action so he can post it on his website.

would mean they must pay for extra mozaik ?

I think behind the scenes clips and pics must be censsored too

unfortunately that's true. If i was them I wound at least add a bunch on promotional clips and trailers for up coming releasing, popular series and other related videos that JAV idols or idols that in the movie, started in that the studio produce. I know thet already do this to some extend, but in recent years they seem to cut back on it. i guess that just a side effect of the internet an streaming.

Another reason why you don't see too many behind the scenes is simply b/c most staff members probably do not want to be filmed--even with mosaic covering them. Also those 2 hour titles generally take a whole day to film already (most JAV is filmed over one day) so people already just wanna go home after the final scene's done.

Sheesh, you seem like a pretty angry, hateful person. Calling the actresses stupid and interviewers idiots isn't helpful at all. What kind of questions do you think would be better to ask? It's not meant to be too serious of an interview and most of the questions are playful and just meant to get to know the actress a little better. It's all fantasy anyways.
No one is hateful.

Do you believe any porn actress is being truthful during BTS?

How many times does an interviewer ask "How does it feel to do....?"

Popular actresses have several releases per month. Do the math because she will eventually get tired of answering the same question for the umpteenth time.

Your fave is not going to present her cold fusion theory for interplanetary travel in BTS.

You're correct it is fantasy but you may see/hear things that are uncomfortable.

yes, internet already a better place to promote

I remember VHS era, when they still put catalogues for their upcoming releases and other products, now we simply browse the website

one of the most common question is "when, where, how and with whom the first time you did it ?" you can notice the guy gave the actress some code and more worst she gave different answer in another interview :D

We have a winner!

Good interviewer = Good BTS

Bad interviewer = Bad BTS

If someone wants to 'know' any porn actress, do not interview her near a movie set. Time is money.

BTS is not the format to know a porn star.

I almost never seen good questions in porn interviews, most of them are horny brainless guys, you know the kind who like to ask female members in the forum to be his girlfriend, or to have sex chat

I'm agree with you, don't interview them near movie set, and combine it with smart non sex related questions ;)

o_O Have you ever seen any honest insightful interview BTS on Western porn, on Hollywood big movies etc? Wake up, BTS isn't investigative journalism, it's cheap little extra production (under a minute per interviewee typical) to increase profit, somehow. ("Han Solo is such an iconic character, I'm so blessed to play him blah blah (hey I am so charming I can make fart noise with my mouth for 5 minutes you will still be watching this shit)")

Most of Private (the biggest Europorn producer) BTS are junk interview ("I take the most beautiful girls in the world and the best studs and go the best beach in the world and waited 2 days for the perfect sun blah blah"). Couple times I saw director (dirty old man) demonstrating to the busty blonde how to suck cock. That's pretty funny. Sometimes you see director and performers discuss the sexual positions and camera angle. Helps you appreciate it's not just tell some guys and girls to go ahead have sex and turn on the camera. It can be as serious and deliberate as making action films.

One of the best BTS are seen in Jackie Chan's and other HK action films showing the outtakes, especially the failed stunts and injury. It's basically free to produce and both increase your respect for the filmmakers and warn kids not to try it at home.

Another great BTS example is Tanya Hyde's S&M porn. It's amazing to see artists working on S&M garments and even manufacturing special purpose (SEX) furniture on the set. Most of the time you see how on screen persona is totally different than real life (esp. r*** vids), it's called acting boys and girls; but sometimes, Tanya Hyde's porn mostly, you see that in real life, those people are exactly the same as you see on screen: freaks and subs and doms.

I think that an interview for a BTS could work if you just stick to stuff related to the movie that they are shooting. So focus on that things that happened that day. Such as the examples I gave before. Instead of trying to dig into the girls past and personal life.

At most if the girl said's something along the sides of

[example interview]

Interviewer: was this your first time trying "insert xxx"?

Actress: Yes. I think that need to try "insert xxxx' at home now.

Interviewer: Is that right. What do you normally like to do during sex?

Actress: I usally like to "xxxx" and them "xxxxx".

[end of example interview]

So if a question could lead in a personal follow up question. do the follow up question and them get back to some more film related questions.

yes, it can be better interview

you know porn are supposed for 18+ and some countries are 21+

"what or how do you feel at your first time" is cool question for 13 years old, but not for adults

I prefer photos to BTS. Photos are simple. BTS can get (fill in the blank).

BTS-Chasey Lain, Part 1

BTS-Chasey Lain, Part 2

BTS shot by NatGeo (Call Ripley's Believe It or Not)

Please watch clips before responding.

Did you get some of her personality?

Learn something about the industry?

Interviewer ask thoughtful questions?

Actress' responses were believable?

Interviewer post clips on his website?

Hear or see anything that made you uncomfortable?

I prefer to remember Chasey Lain as:
chasey-sm.jpg
I met Chasey Lain at AVN back in the day. I have her autograph. Probably have a signed 8x10 hidden somewhere in the paper tornado. Chasey had a cameo in the "Tales of the Crypt" movie. She was Sasha Grey of the 90s.

We'll agree to disagree about BTS.

"Behind the scenes" features might be a little redundant or awkward for JAV because a lot of times JAV already pretends to be "behind the scenes" footage. Usually a JAV even have an "interview" with the actress or some other "dressing room" scene.

In the very first scene of STAR-598, Iori Kogawa is doing a photo shoot and they show you everything: the set, crew, the camera, the lighting equipment, etc., and then she gets bukkaked. And that is literally the scene: behind the scenes bukkake.
