Gamble says V-POV was inspired by his admiration for one of the industry’s all-time greats—the late AVN Hall of Fame producer/director, John Leslie, whose iconic series The Voyeur is his personal favorite.
“I’m never going to be John Leslie, but it’s kind of a nod to him, creating a line that has that voyeuristic feel,” Seth explains. “It’s a metaphorical thing for me. I feel I’m giving that nod to someone that I looked up to.”
He also points to his mentor Axel Braun, Michael Ninn, Andrew Blake and Bree Mills as influences.
Gamble tells AVN that Mills, who is the chief creative officer for Gamma’s Adult Time, helped him refine the idea for V-POV.
“We were sitting down at a lunch and she was showing me some clips and inspired me to have a format of how I wanted to do this,” he says, noting that the sex in the V-POV series is shot in the same fashion as his cinemacore offerings—with one camera.
“It’s always been my favorite,” Seth says. “It feels like you’re more engrossed in the sex scene but the look doesn’t change. It’s a cinematic look.”
Gamble describes the one-camera gonzo style of shooting sex like “a dance” between the talent and videographer—something he began learning from performing greats like Mark Davis 18 years ago.
“You get the best looks and the best angles and you stay in chemistry and keep that energy with the scenes,” Seth professes, adding that the 20-minute scenes include three minutes of each POV position.
“It’s a lot more challenging pulling it off with cinema lenses.”
Gamble, who will soon reach 2500 scenes in his career, says for the LucidFlix launch he is sole male performer but that he’s looking forward to hiring other top male talent going forward.
“I want to get the most extreme and best chemistry I can get,” he says. “I want to keep a safe, healthy environment. Consent and safety are the main priority—and the quality of the content.”
LucidFlix will add new scene updates every week. Gamble teased the first Lucid Shorts release, Sinematic, which will be unveiled in mid-January.
It features Kimmy Granger in an homage to Sharon Stone’s notorious scene in Basic Instinct; Gianna Dior in a scene inspired by Raging Bull; Charly Summer and Jill Kassidy in a Wild Things tribute; and Aidra Fox channeling Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany’s.
“I’ve always been a huge cinephile and these are scenes from some of my favorite films,” Gamble says. “I wouldn’t say they’re parodies, I would say inspired by.”
He also has a new site in the works that will be called VHSex with amateur-style content that is being shot “like a 90s sex tape.”
“It will have an old-school, Pamela Anderson-Tommy Lee type of vibe,” he says.
Gamble will be launching a trade program with the girls featured on VHSex, so they can cross-promote their OnlyFans.
And he tells AVN the next cinemacore title is called Enigma.
“I’m very proud of who I’m working with,” Gamble says. “I want to build a company by talent and for talent that they feel a part of. I want the crew to feel like they’re a part of what I’m doing, too. That was something that was super important to me.”
