Surfer Pictures International, Inc. has made adult entertainment history, becoming the first company to broadcast adult HDTV movies on the Internet.
Producer/director Mitch King, whose team of technicians made the breakthrough on Sept. 16, said the HDTV broadcast quality images were available for viewing at www.surferpictures.com.
"Surfer Pictures has always been about quality and capturing the best images possible. We have been shooting HDTV now for over two years and (on Sept. 16) we made adult entertainment history when we made our HDTV adult films available on the Internet," King said. "Using the HDTV software and hardware, working around the clock, we have developed a way to shoot HDTV at true 24 frames per second, exactly like 35 MM cameras shoot, and then edit and encode at 24 frames which is also a historic first in the industry."
King said his company is building an exclusive Website, hdtvsex.com, where viewers will be able to watch HDTV sex by the scene or the whole movie.
"We will also have available the world's first HDTV adult DVDs that can play today in the high-definition format on your current computer system," King continued. "This is something we have been working on for two years and is another technological leap in the adult entertainment industry."
Surfer Pictures, which debuted earlier this year with Club Tropixxx 1 & 2 and Hawaii Heat, recently shot three new HDTV movies entirely in the tropics, Hawaii XXX, Surf Sluts and Project Pornstar. The company plans to release these titles, which were shot with the Panasonic HD camera, by the end of the year. Each show is cut to original music.
Hawaii XXX is billed as "a pure and natural style feature designed to maximize the talents of the performers." King said that Surf Sluts is unique in that it is like "a movie within a movie" and will become an ongoing franchise for talent developed through Project Pornstar and Surfer Pictures.
The reality elements of Project Pornstar will be fully realized through an upcoming Web content site, projectpornstar.com, designed to ultimately generate a stream of new talent for future Surfer Pictures productions, King said.
