On The Hunt taps into the huge membership base of the hookup site Manhunt and issues this tantalizing offer: "You can become a porn superstar". That's the first twist: the site has attracted a diverse group of hot Manhunt members to perform for you. A second frequent twist comes in the form of celebrity porn stars, who travel all over the U.S. to film the episodes. The roster includes Matthew Rush, Collin O'Neal, Jeremy Hall, Pierre Fitch and several others. You end up with an interesting mix of horned up amateurs interacting with their pornstar camera men. There are now almost 290 episodes in On the Hunt (counting bonus videos) and more recent videos are shot with two cameras.
Tour
The On the Hunt tour primes you up with previews of all the episodes: for some you can watch a small sample clip, for others you can get eight sample photos and a description of the action. This will give you a very good idea of what the site is all about.
Usability
Navigation is very easy, with the video and image gallery index starting right on the Member's Home Page, displaying the most recent videos first. Use the "Sort Episodes" box to sort by date or model name or to select by keyword or porn star videographer.
The Men and the Action
The models at On The Hunt are chosen from Manhunt members. These guys run the gamut from muscular inked-up hunks, to collegiate guys, twinks, Latinos, African-American, Asian, a few mature guys, and even a couple of leather men. Action fans will be pleased to learn that there are very few solo episodes. Each video is described in a couple of paragraphs on its own page. We're also told which celebrity camera jockey is filming the scene.
The action usually unfolds in a conventional living room or bedroom, often starting with an interview of the guy, duo, or group. Up until recently the site featured only one camera video shoots, which we found a bit limiting at times. The most recent movies are shot with two cameras. At the same time there is a range of sexual styles, tastes, preferences and a few fetishes on display.
Video Details
There are some pretty hot videos on the site; its obvious that the chance to be filmed having sex is a real turn on for some of these amateur models. Most of the videos have good clarity, lighting, and sound quality, although a couple are a bit low on light. When it comes to overall composition, including editing, variety of poses, and the number of camera angles and medium and close-up shots, there is lots of variation due to the conditions and the skill levels of the celebrity porn star camera operators. The decision to leave the action "natural" and not edit very much -- and the handheld camera which moves constantly -- may take some getting used to.
As of this review the video count on On the Hunt is almost 290 episodes, of which 110 are bonus episodes, with one full-length and one bonus video added each week. The videos average almost 35 minutes each. Sometimes the interview sessions can ramble but you can always skip those if you wish, and the site's video style is meant to be "natural" and not heavily edited.
On each episode page you can stream the video in a small in-browser Flash screen. These will upsize to full screen.
Windows Media files will stream or download at about 1100 kbps, playing in a 850x480 or 640x480 window; there are two smaller options as well.
Mac note: Videos are available in Mac-friendly Quicktime (MOV) format, playing at 1100 kbps in a 850x480 or 640x480 window, with the choice of two smaller options.
Mobile note: There is a specific iPod (M4V) format as well, so you can download and save the videos to an Apple device, but there is no mobile version of the site.
Image and Other Content
Each video page also has a gallery of ten good-sized digital photos. If you want to see more pictures you have to download a zip file of them. It would be good to see all the images in galleries as well as having the zip file choice.
Summing Up
On The Hunt is a fun concept, delivering true amateurs in amateur style videos. If you're looking for some porn with a different angle, this site is definitely worth your attention.
