Velvet Ecstasy
Have you ever liked reading a book or watching a movie so much you want to talk to the people or person who wrote it? Sir Rodney often feels that way about porn sites. But it’s not the performers who fascinate us the most – it’s the people behind the camera that Sir Rodney is most interested in. Victor, the star, photographer, editor, and webmaster of our Top Pick Velvet Ecstasy is living the American dream, pursuing work he loves.
Velvet Ecstasy has been among our favorite sites since we first saw it three years ago. There are nearly three hundred twenty-minute original fuck scenes for download, some of which are deeply beguiling. Although Victor is hesitant to mention a favorite when we asked him, he talks about “Pepper Oil,” a red-tinged, slow motion tease from a tasty brunette, because of its artistic elements, the lighting, music, and unhurried sensuality of the model.
Victor finds his models through ads in the local alternative paper. He hires one in every ten of women and couples he interviews, which he culls out of dozens of responses each week. “I know which ones will work out pretty much right away,” he tells us. “I used to spend half a day getting to know them. Now I know who will work out.” Although he prefers amateur couples, Victor has started to use more and more professionals. “Everyone gets paid, anyway.” Victor confesses. The professionals really are easier to work with. For this reason, Victor is seriously considering a move from Arizona to Southern California, where many of the professional models are based.
Although many (more than 25%) of the movies on Velvet Ecstasy are shot from Victor’s point of view, gonzo-style (as we say here in pornland). Victor agrees with Sir Rodney’s assessment that gonzo has its limitations; it is not the ideal way to shoot a scene and Victor says it’s harder to shoot that way, too. “You don’t really get to enjoy it, you’re thinking about the lighting and the camera and how it will all go together. It’s more work, actually.” Lately, Victor has been collaborating with a local male performer.
If he had a million dollars, Victor would plow it into the business. He LOVES making porn movies. He loves women. With more serious production money Victor could really get the best performers, build sets, and shoot the action with the best equipment. Most of all, Victor wants a bigger audience for his movies.
