#2I hope they're careful about the custom videos they make. Just last week the RCMP were searching for the woman who made a video apparently confessing to an Anthrax hoax -- who it turns out was paid to make the video via Fiverr.

#3It a little weird to me to call it porn, all of the described bespoke videos include nothing of what could be considered a sexual nature (to the conventionally minded I suppose )- you could display them on network TV in the USA when children are watching without the FCC's wrath (unless they showed the women peeing graphically and they really didn't describe the nun video very well). They sound more like customized therapy videos.

Funny, I expect that if one marketed such services as "customized therapy videos," one would confront immediate objections that the service was facilitating heinous pornography.

I suppose they're only "safe for TV" because they're so unusual to be custom-made in the first place. The moment your preferences move away from sex, most of the market abandons you. So long as they have a sexual significance to the people who pay to view them, though, I would call them porn.

What do you mean by most of the market abandons you?
I'm actually confused on this one.

Yeah, I found that confusing, unless The Guardian is just being extremely coy?

With technology like this being developed, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14182262 , we may see more stories like that, at least until law enforcement becomes more aware of it (and hopefully doesn't start locking things down.)
On a more positive note, these "reality editing" technologies would probably find lots of successful application in bespoke porn.
Re: Bespoke porn: Nothing is too weird. We consider all requests
#9> It is very unusual to find second cameramen on porn sets these days: the internet is killing porn-makers who take pride in production values. It’s because the money is now in the pockets of the tech giants in faraway cities such as Montreal, owners of sites such as PornHub that are crammed with pirated content illegally uploaded by fans; PornHub is currently the world’s 38th most popular site.
So much wrong with this paragraph, I hardly know where to start.
First of all, custom-made pornograhy is exploding as a market because cameras are cheap.
Secondly, multi-camera work is not indicative of high production values. Typically single camera work gives the director more control over each shot, and is more time consuming. So cheap-fast camera work will involve multiple cameras, then post-shoot editing to stitch things together.
Third, people make porn in Quebec. I think the only place people don't make porn is Utah--though it's the #1 place for people to retire to afterwards.
Fourth, PornHub is owned by MindGeek which also owns Brazzers, Mofos, DigitalPlayground, Twistys, RealityKings, and has many relationships with other producers. You see a lot of full length movies on Pornhub, not merely because people are breaking copyright laws but because those movies are the ones released as part of the required relationship (or released on other free site), and thus aren't really worth chasing down and taking offline.
Ahh.. rant over.
I will add though Anatomik does good work, and I'm glad to see the more mainstream media paying attention to them.

I think the idea is that the viewer is presumed to be getting a prurient thrill out of the video, even if it is filmed in a way that only works for that one person.
