Get Ready for 4K Porn; They Say It Melts Brains

LOS ANGELES—Actually, Gizmodo said that 4K video will melt your eyes; we extrapolated that idea to porn and added the expectation that it will not stop at your eyes. It’s apparently that awesome. As Gizmodo put it in April, “Your eyes aren't ready for the next level of awesomeness from Phantom's new Flex4K camera that can capture an astounding 1,000 frames per second at a resolution of 4096 x 2160. In other words? Every last detail captured in super, super, super slow-motion… This camera's destined for a life of filming explosions, crashes, and other split-second events that deserve a more detailed look.” Like porn? The answer, of course, is yes, and Gizmodo India can take credit for reporting on the very first outfit to dare to shoot porn in 4K. “Just launched yesterday,” wrote Ashley Fineberg for the tech site, “the adult content website Huccio claims to be the very first company to offer 4K Ultra HD downloads of sexytime movies." Or more specifically, they're "the first to ever master all of our content in 4K and release it in 4K." Unfortunately, Huccio is not resolving at the moment. The launch must have melted their servers. Midday Wednesday, the company said on Twitter, “Our website bandwidth got kicked in the ass. We are working with the hosting provider to get it back up. Sorry for any inconvenience.” 4K will do that to you. In fact, some people may be wondering if porn is the best subject for 4K. High definition video was too intense for some people when it was first released. Too much detail was the common complaint, but as with everything else, shooting in HD was a skill that needed to be mastered, and those that did have produced some truly inspired porn that in many ways exemplifies the best in HD. At Huccio, they’re betting that the same learning curve will be in play with 4K. “I will say that more care needs to be taken during the shooting and post process as you will inevitably see more details. Details do mean more flaws exposed but when done right, as we hope you see in our content, it can look amazing,” Huccio principal Toni Tsai told Fineberg in an email interview. “Huccio is certainly banking a lot on the fact that they're right; the minds behind the site have been shooting all that crystal-clear content for over a year now,” added Fineberg. “You won't be able to see the full fruit of that labor until December 1, though, when the subscription and pay-per-view options go live, at which point new videos will be released weekly. For now, the 4K-curious have to make due with a free membership that includes stills and 4-minute teasers.” The free clips are actually being released in H264 form at the moment, but “once HVEC hits,” reports Fineberg, “those files will finally start whittling down closer to HD-sized territory. Which is pretty impressive considering this (NSFW) teaser is only a fourth of the resolution of its full potential.” “As 4k cameras become cheaper,” Tsai told Fineberg, “I think the porn industry will definitely crossover and 4k will become the norm sooner than most people think. Case example, the new Galaxy Note can shoot 4K! Of course, there will be varying qualities of 4K, so our goal is to provide the best visually. Because we had a head start in shooting exclusively and mastering our content in 4K, our goal is to create the biggest ultra HD 4K erotica porn library for our subscribers.” Sounds like a plan, as long as they don’t keep melting servers.
