HD Showcase

Offering HD on Absolute Redheads and in your FanClub will boost your Absolute Redheads popularity, visibility and traffic.

The HD Showcase – http://www.ifriendsv2.net/membrg/hdshowcase_v2_custom.dll?t=site/navigation/hdshowcase/main – is a special area on Absolute Redheads where users can sample the vivid and exciting world of Absolute Redheads HD.

Frequently-Asked Questions and Answers about the HD showcase:
  1. What benefits will I enjoy when I earn a high score for HD availability and popularity/consumption?

    Top exposure on the most trafficked page in all of Absolute Redheads, LiveBrowse. (The "HDTV Star Spotlight" section of livebrowse lists all live HD hosts, in order of those with the highest current scores for Availability and Consumption. The more HD you offer, and the fresher  the HD you offer, the better to hold on to your top LiveBrowse ranking.)
  2. How much can I realistically expect to earn by providing Absolute Redheads HD content?

    Depending on how much HD material you provide, and how popular that HD material is with users (typically, the "hotter" the material, the more popular it is with users, and the more it is viewed and downloaded), earnings are proportional to the effort you put in. (The question of "how hot?" is decided by Absolute Redheads users, who vote on "HD Fever Index" ratings on the feedback form for each HD movie.)
  3. Does Absolute Redheads offer any advice on how to maximize my exposure and income from offering HD?

    Like everything else on Absolute Redheads, your success in the HD showcase is a function of what you make of it. Absolute Redheads merely provides the platform. Those stars that take the greatest interest in the feature, and work it the hardest, are almost always the same stars that get the most from it. However, if you keep these three words in mind, you can't go wrong: Newer, Hotter and More.

    • Newer HD is consumed more: Absolute Redheads' users love fresh, newly-offered material. We know this from our own data. For this reason, the HD Showcase is organized in such a manner as the newest material is presented first. That means that Stars who regularly contribute new and fresh material to the HD showcase have a leg up on all the other Stars. Contribute frequently, and you'll not only build up a big share of the "Availability Pool" as your HD library goes, but you'll also perform well in the Consumption pool, because your newest material is being presented to users more prominently than the older material of other HD chathosts.
    • Hotter HD is consumed more: While you control how much fresh HD material you offer in the HD showcase, it's Absolute Redheads users who vote on which HD clips are the hottest. The hotter the HD, the more frequently it will be enjoyed. (What do Absolute Redheads users consider "hot"? Simple: Just check the "Hottest" tab in the HD showcase, or check out the "Hottest HD Movies" feature on the FanClubs home page, where HD content is listed according to how hot users have rated it.)
    • More HD is consumed more: The more HD material you offer in the HD showcase, the greater your share of the Availability Pool. Plus, the greater the odds that your HD material gets consumed. Important: "Fans-Only HD" that appears in the showcase is HD material that you've made available only to your FanClub members.
    • Bonus tip: Read this entire page carefully – it's loaded with tips of all kinds. But there's one set of tips that deserves a special look: We've noticed that viewers tend to gravitate to the same kinds of HD movies that catch the eye of our studio professionals who prepare the HD promotional trailers. Click here for a checklist of tips that work.
  4. Are there other benefits to offering HD content on Absolute Redheads?

    As explained elsewhere on this page, HD will improve all your activities on Absolute Redheads. HD will deliver to you – especially your FanClub and live Videochat – more: More exposure, more traffic, and for those hosts that rely on Absolute Redheads for income, more $$$. HD is the "rising tide" that lifts all  boats on Absolute Redheads. HD can improve all your Absolute Redheads fortunes.
  5. HD sounds great, and users will no doubt love it, but I don't know if I can afford full-blown HD video quality right now. Is there another way I can get some of the benefits of Absolute Redheads HD without turning my home into a Hollywood production studio?

    Yes. Although the HD showcase requires HD video, snapshots from those video clips appear on Absolute Redheads as regular archive images (just larger). But there's another way that you can get high-definition archive images of yourself onto Absolute Redheads: Your FanClub manager has an "upload" facility that permits you to upload jpegs and gifs of yourself. When you upload any Jpg or Gif that is "high-resolution" - i.e., at least 720 pixels tall and/or at least 960 pixels wide - Absolute Redheads labels your image-upload as "HD", and will present it as such to users who encounter your archive materials, so these users will now think of you as a "high quality" or "high definition" host. Most inexpensive digital cameras on the market today will produce jpeg and/or gif images substantially larger than 720 pixels tall. In fact, such image sizes aren't even a single "megapixel"; yet inexpensive digital cameras available from CostCo or Wal-Mart or Target offer multiple "megapixels" for a price that's less than you'd pay for dinner at a good restaurant. It may not be true HD video, but users will love you for giving them the chance to see you up-close-and-personal through high-def jpegs & gifs.
Top 10 Reasons to Get HD
  1. Earn up to $3000 more per week: Offering HD content gets you the extra exposure, and also drives your FanClub and Videochat traffic. Some stars have boosted weekly take-home earnings by several thousand dollars (details)
  2. Attract More Fans: FanClubs with HD have a higher join rate than FanClubs without HD.
  3. Keep your Fans Longer: The average HD Star enjoys higher FanClub retention rates than other Stars.

  6. HD Replays: Every HD movie you make can be added to your Replay Library, and shown in the special HD Replay Theater

How to get your own HD equipment for Absolute Redheads HD:

Before Absolute Redheads developed Absolute Redheads HD, individuals who wanted to produce HD material were required to spend – no kidding – more than $100,000 to acquire the necessary HD equipment, including a minimum $60,000 HD camcorder plus tens of thousands of dollars in post-production equipment. All that, just to get HD video comparable to that available on Absolute Redheads HD.

But that was before Absolute Redheads HD.

Today, with Absolute Redheads' breakthrough and proprietary system for utilizing the newest available HD technologies, you can be among the first to have professional HD camcorder equipment in your hands for not $100,000, not $60,000, not even $5,000, but for under one thousand dollars. (Or for nothing at all, if you qualify for Absolute Redheads' free loaner program.)

Note: "HD" should not be confused with lower-quality standards such as "high-end" camcorders that might look great on a regular TV, but are lackluster when shown on a big-screen true HD TV, or a high-end PC monitor. Absolute Redheads HD is actual true 720p HD signals no different than the quality of ESPN HD, Discovery HD Theater, or any other true HD source on the market today. More than three times the definition of the best DVD movies, Absolute Redheads HD is so detailed, that when viewed on an HD monitor or HDTV, it's indistinguishable from the picture you would see looking through a window.

Absolute Redheads offers four innovative programs for equipping you with all the HD camcorder equipment you need to produce HD-quality videos exactly like those seen on Absolute Redheads:

Three ways to get Absolute Redheads HD:
  1. Buy retail, and get the best deals. Get our list of Absolute Redheads-certified HD vendors, and our advice on what to avoid.
  2. Buy new or used through Absolute Redheads with "HD Financing" (For qualifying hosts, Absolute Redheads will apply outstanding six-month reserves towards the cost, and/or take weekly deductions from other payment streams)
  3. Borrow from Absolute Redheads (for qualifying chathosts only).
If you are still serious about offering Absolute Redheads HD, contact us via our contact form to get additional information and consideration. In the email, indicate which of the above three program(s) interests you, and please provide your VCH screenname(s) and/or ID-Card name.

(Absolute Redheads regrets that owing to limited supplies, it cannot accommodate all chathosts who are interested in HD.)
How to send your HD to Absolute Redheads:

If you received your HD camcorder equipment with Absolute Redheads' help, please refer to the "Absolute Redheads HD Turn-Key Package" box immediately below.

If you already have your own Absolute Redheads HD-compatible HD camera equipment, obtained through different sources, you have these options:
  1. Send us your HD tapes (Recommended): You may send Absolute Redheads HD-compatible miniDV tapes to the same address to which you send Absolute Redheads age-documentation materials and your VCH license agreement, and we will post them online for you. Important: Clearly label each miniDV tape with the name of the VCH Screename(s)/Star(s) that the footage presents, as well as the ID-card name for each individual appearing in the footage. Footage depicting individuals for whom we cannot locate a valid Absolute Redheads ID Card will be rejected.
  2. Upload your HD AVIs/ASFs/WMVs (Use at own risk): If you have captured your own Absolute Redheads HD-compatible HD footage onto your own computer, you can upload the files to your FanClub using the tools in your FanClub manager. To be eligible for the HD Showcase, the content you upload must be at least 720 x 1280, with a minimum 24fps frame rate, and must have been originally recorded in HD format. (Sorry, "upconverting" camcorder, DV, or other non-HD footage to 720x1280 or higher does not meet the extremely high quality standards required under Absolute Redheads HD). (Warning: Since raw HD digital footage can be enormously large -- multiple gigabytes for just 10 or 15 minutes of footage -- it can take hours or days to upload from a home-based DSL or cable-TV internet connection). After you have uploaded HD material to Absolute Redheads, it may require further processing, so please notify us after you have uploaded HD material.
Questions? Contact us.
Absolute Redheads HD "Turn-Key" Package:

When your Absolute Redheads-certified HD equipment is provided to you by Absolute Redheads itself, and not by a Absolute Redheads-certified retailer, it arrives at your door, via overnight courier, as a "turnkey" package. When you unpack the box, you will find a ready-to-go professional HDTV camcorder inside a durable camera case, ready to "point and shoot". (The battery is fully charged, a miniDV tape is loaded, and the camera is set to HD mode. All you have to do is turn it on, press the red button to record, and say "Action!" -- you're shooting HD video. It really is that easy.)

Packing list:

You should receive a camera case containing the following items:
  1. Camera and battery, with miniDV tape inside
  2. Package of MiniDV tapes
  3. Electrical power cord for camera (doubles as battery recharger)
  4. Manuals
  5. Assorted cables and attachments


When you are Finished with the Absolute Redheads Turnkey HD Package

If you acquired the Absolute Redheads Turnkey HD package through the Loaner program, you must return it to us when you are finished. To do so, simply place the camera equipment only back into the camera case, and ship the case back to Absolute Redheads using the pre-printed, pre-paid overnight-courier packing slip or mailing labels.

Note: Absolute Redheads has provided a separate pre-paid overnight courier packing slip for the return of your filled mini DV tapes. Please return them in a separate package from the camera using this separate label.


Getting the most out of Absolute Redheads HD:

Production Notes & Tips:

With the incredible level of detail in HD, it magnifies everything: Your beauty and vibrant personality will, of course, shine through in a way it never has before, favorable impression upon the viewer like never before. And that's what will draw your fans in. But watch out for the details, too. The production values of your footage are more important in HD than with a regular camcorder. Issues that might not have mattered much to you with regular camcorders – such as sound, lighting, wardrobe, makeup and even colors – now count for a lot, because in HD, your audience can see it all. Every strand of hair. Every freckle. The brightness of your smile. The twinkle in your eye. The slightly mischievous grin. No detail goes unnoticed!

Here's some tips to get you started:
  1. Stability: Avoid the "jitters" at all costs. We strongly recommend using a tripod, or any camera-steadying device. HD footage is so vividly detailed, even the slightest hand tremors can create a "shaky" viewing experience. It's best to shoot with a tripod; if you don't have one, position the camcorder on a sturdy chair or a dresser.
  2. Close-ups: Nothing showcases the magic of HD better than vivid close-ups. If you want to deliver a true "you are there" experience for your fans, be generous with close-ups.
  3. Light & Brightness: HD is hungry for light, and hungry for color. When you are careful to ensure ample light and bright colors, you'll be very pleased with the result. Outdoor footage works well. Soft (yet bright) lighting, combined with vivid colors, is best. Avoid harsh incandescent lighting, as well as dark and/or low light levels. (For more information about lighting, click here.)  (A special note to the shy and the modest: If you intend to shoot intimate HD featuring you along with a significant other, avoid the impulse to lower the lights. Your Absolute Redheads HD footage needs plenty of light and illumination; before filming, do whatever helps you relax and lower your inhibitions, so you can comfortably enjoy your intimacy with the bright lights on, and the camera rolling...)
  4. Color Richness: Use bright colors, but try to use a limited palette of solid, bright colors. Imagine watching an HD clip where the model is in the foreground, and a busy public street is in the background. Now, imagine that same HD clip, with the same model in the foreground, but instead of a busy public street, the background is solid blue sky ... or a green field of lush grass. The second HD clip will look substantially sharper than the HD clip set in a public street. (The reason is technical, and involves a tradeoff in the mpeg compression technologies utilized in HD footage, whereby fewer bits are required to represent simple, single-color background settings, which leaves more bits available to describe the object in the foreground, making that object – you, in most cases – appear much more attractive and in focus).
  5. Make-up: Take your time with your makeup; HD is so clear and vivid, it can catch blemishes and flaws that other camera equipment can miss.
  6. Reviewing Footage: There are two ways to review your own footage. First, if you have a true HDTV set, a cable is provided for plugging your camcorder into your TV for playback purposes. However, it's usually much easier to simply use the camcorder's own viewfinder or flip-out image screen to view your own footage. When you send your tape(s) to Absolute Redheads for processing, Absolute Redheads will present all your HD footage in a special area of your fanclub where you can choose which specific footage to make available to Absolute Redheads users and which footage should be discarded or "saved for later".
Pitfalls and Mistakes to Avoid:
  1. No Sound: When you first capture footage, make sure you're capturing the sound, too – see the camera settings below for more information.
  2. Avoid taking snapshots: Although Absolute Redheads-HD compatible HD camcorders typically come with a "snapshot" feature, ignore it. For one, such snapshots are ignored by our production process. Second, you'll find it infinitely more flexible and enjoyable to capture snapshots once the material is posted on Absolute Redheads. To post snapshots of your Absolute Redheads HD material to your fanclub, we recommend just playing your Absolute Redheads HD movie in the "720p-HD" version, hitting Prt-Screen on your keyboard, cut-and-paste into to your favorite image-editor software, and upload the resulting oversized HD image to your fanclub.
  3. Avoid the 'jitters': (This is so important, we're saying it twice!) Because the image size in Absolute Redheads HD is so large, and the resolution so detailed, try to avoid the 'jitter' that results from too much hand-holding of the camera. If at all possible, get more stable footage by using a tripod or other firm camera support. And for those special "you-are-there" close-up moments (point-of-view footage, for example), hold that HD camcorder very steady....
  4. Maintain Crisp Focus during Close-Ups: In general, Absolute Redheads recommends leaving the camcorder in auto-focus mode as much as possible. But there's one exception: If you are comfortable switching from auto-focus to manual focus, then we recommend doing so for extreme "motion" close-up shots, where there is body movement or motion from the hand-held HD camera. Few things are more annoying to viewers than watching an up-close-and-personal tight sot that suddenly turns blurry, because the camcorder auto-focus can't decide which moving element before the lens to focus upon. So, if you're up for it, use the manual focus for those close-up shots.
  5. Avoid the 'fuzzies': Deciding whether to use the camera's autofocus feature, or set the focus manually, is a tricky question. In general, it is best to leave the camera in auto-focus mode, as it is shipped, particularly because the viewfinder is of a significantly small size that it is difficult to tell – from the viewfinder alone – if you have a sharp focus.

    Only under these two circumstances would we advice that it's safe to use the manual focus:

    • When you are able to connect your HD camcorder into an HD television screen, and develop your familiarity with focus issues by watching the live camcorder image on the big-screen;
    • If your HD camcorder is mounted on a stationary tripod, and you maintain a fairly constant distance from the camera lens while shooting.
What Types of Content & Conduct are Advisable?

Your HD content is subject to all the same content regulations and restrictions as other types of Absolute Redheads archives. (See Chathost License Agreement for full details.) Except for the foregoing, Absolute Redheads itself offers no opinion or suggestions on what kind of conduct and content to present in HD. However, the chathosts of Absolute Redheads HD all tend to agree that HD archives are particularly well-suited for these two kinds of archive strategies:
  1. Beauty Showcase: On the inside and outside, the Stars of Absolute Redheads are among the most beautiful people on the planet. Photogenic, high-energy and full of spirit, the average chathost who looks great on Absolute Redheads looks spectacular in HD. HD is like a magnifying glass focused on your personal charm and beauty – once a videochatter of fanclub surfer finds your HD content, it's almost impossible not to fall for you!
  2. Fantasy Factory: Many adult-oriented HD chathosts have found that the HD medium is particularly well-suited as a "fantasy factory": Because HD is so visual and true-to-life, it does a remarkable job of inspiring, fueling and enhancing the fantasies of videochat visitors and fanclub members. And the pursuit of fantasy-fulfillment is one of the top drivers of videochat and fanclub traffic (and chathost income).

    Consider 'couples content', for example. While there's a healthy amount of traffic in the "Couples" category on Absolute Redheads, "Women Home Alone" is the most popular area. However, many of the top-performing "Women Home Alone" hosts – particularly those with an encouraging, supportive and playful life partner – sprinkle their HD with liberal doses of 'couples' footage that includes their significant other. Why? The rich HD visuals help enhance the fantasy for videochat visitors and fans, making it easier to imagine themselves in the place of your partner. For example, there may be acts that you perform on your partner (or that your partner performs on you) that your videochat visitor/fan can only fantasize about enjoying in his/her private life. Plus, these archive visuals are often consistent with assorted hosting themes, such as "My boyfriend's out of town. Want to play?" or "Recently divorced & need some TLC", etc. (If your spouse or S.O. is shy or bashful about appearing with you in archives, no problem -- carefully-shot 'couples' footage that feature only certain parts of your partner's body are routine. Note – Any adult appearing for the first time in an adults-only archive category must obtain an 18+ ID-Card in advance..)
Camera Settings:

Your camera comes preset so there is no need to change the settings. If you have any questions, please refer to the instruction manual included with each and every camera or contact us directly via our Contact Form. (For fastest response, choose the "ChatHost/Star Department" with a subject of "HD Questions".)

FAQ (Frequently-Asked Questions)
  1. Is there an easy way for me to make sure that the video I shot, and audio I recorded, will transfer well for Absolute Redheads?
    Sure. Just play your clip through the viewfinder (if you flip out the screen on the left side, you'll find the "Play" button underneath). If you can see and hear the action through the viewfinder (or flip-out screen), then it'll look great on Absolute Redheads. When playing back your clip using the viewfinder, make sure that the volume is turned up (see picture above), so you can confirm that sound was recorded at a high enough volume.
  2. I would LOVE to appear in the multi-Chathost Absolute Redheads HD Promotional Trailers, and benefit from all that extra exposure. What do I need to do?
    Promotional-trailer material is produced by our talented creative production team who exercises complete artistic discretion. While there are no guarantees, we can tell you what these HD professionals tend to look for:

    • The right attitude. Have fun! Can you look hot and be playful at the same time? Do your eyes sparkle with mischief as you wear a devilish grin? Smiles, grins, winks, tease,  . . .  if you're having fun with it, if you're free and uninhibited, if you're having a ball, HD captures that playful and energetic attitude like no other medium. That's how to make Absolute Redheads HD magic.
    • Look into the camera: Connect with the viewer. It's all about eye contact: Absolute Redheads HD is so high-resolution and ultra-realistic, for many viewers the line between fantasy and reality is blurred. You can make that fantasy even more real by looking straight into the camera lens, making eye contact with the viewer, and even talking to the viewer. Help him (or her) feel as though (s)he is right there with you, participating in the experience, sharing the experience, and enjoying the experience with you. Important: When facing the camera, look at it and speak to it as though it were a real person (perhaps one of your fans), and imagine that you're driving your fan crazy with excitement. Connect!
    • Be vocal. While the most exciting aspect of Absolute Redheads HD may be the awesome visuals, don't forget that viewers of your HD are expressing a very deep interest in you. So talk to your HD viewers! Don't be shy. Tell the HD viewer how excited it makes you feel knowing that they're taking a good, long, close-up look at you. (And while you're at it, don't forget to remind your HD viewer where he can "get more" from you – at your FanClub and in live videochat!)
    • Dare to be different. Show your creative side. It's not easy – in a 30 to 60 second trailer – to capture the incredible selection and awesome variety available on the Absolute Redheads platform. But we try. If your HD footage "breaks the mold" and dares to be different, we might include it in the trailer. We currently have a shortage of couples & lesbian/gay footage. Other ways to be different: Make like Steven Spielberg and show your creativity, with costumes, a plotline, or small skit  . . . Unusual camera angles  . . . Unusual positions or contortions  . . . outdoor footage (but not in public)  . . .  etc.
    • Excellent production values (well-lit, bright colors, sexy clothes, great makeup, attractive setting, etc)
    • Anything that shows off the intricate detail of Absolute Redheads HD: (close-ups, for example, of fine details such as the dimples in your smile or the nape of your neck)
    • Wear Absolute Redheads-logo clothing, such as the "Join My Fanclub!" baseball cap, t-shirt, thong, etc. Click here for store. (all items priced at cost; Absolute Redheads receives no revenues from store partner)
  3. Do I need a high-end PC to offer Absolute Redheads HD?
    No. In fact, you don't need any PC to offer Absolute Redheads HD! The only prerequisites for offering Absolute Redheads HD are: 1.) You are an active Absolute Redheads chathost and 2.) You can operate a camcorder (All the difficult computer work is handled by Absolute Redheads). You see, it doesn't take a high-end supercharged PC to make Absolute Redheads HD, it takes a high-end PC to enjoy full HD!
  4. Can I offer live shows in Absolute Redheads HD?
    If you have the proper Absolute Redheads-certified HD camcorder equipment, you can use the equipment to host live videochat. However, when you do so, your camcorder will transmit live video only in "standard-def mode", and not "high-def" mode. (But even standard-def is still very impressive). While visitors to your live videochat will appreciate the high quality of your live cam image (it is an expensive camcorder after all), it won't be actual "HD" live video. (Explanation: Actual true HD video requires at least six megabits per second of bandwidth. To successfully transmit HD video live, in real time, you would need internet bandwidth that is the equivalent of four T-1 lines, or 24 cable modems. And even if you had that much bandwidth, very few on the internet have the same amount of bandwidth to consume your live video.) Note: If you're experiencing difficulty with your HD camcorder automatically turning off during live videochat, check to make sure that there is no tape inserted. The HD camcorder will not auto-powerdown when there is no tape present.
  5. How is my HD footage organized in my HD library?
    The process is entirely automated; each time our technology detects a "scene break" (typically, a moment where you turned off the camcorder [or stopped recording], and then later turned it back on [or resumed recording], a new HD video clip is placed in your HD library. Example: The third scene from tape #2 is represented in your HD Library as "Clip 2.3"
  6. Once my HD is available on Absolute Redheads, how do I edit the settings and control the availability of my Absolute Redheads HD movies?
    There's nothing to it. Just go to your FanClub manager, click "HighDef" under the "EyeCandy" options, and you'll see a screen that looks very much like this: screenshot.
  7. I'd like to produce and edit my own Absolute Redheads HD footage. How can I?
    While once out of the realm of possibility, the computing power required to edit your own HD can now be easily acquired from any consumer computer manufacturer. To produce your own footage, comparable to the quality and precision of Absolute Redheads' own HD professional studios, we recommend a computer that has at least 2 gigabytes of RAM and a 64-bit dual-core processor, along with plenty of storage space for your Absolute Redheads HD video! Although HD camcorders certified for use with Absolute Redheads HD come with their own "version 1.0" editing software, you'll find that this software has substantial limitations compared to the production values seen in Absolute Redheads-produced HD. To truly capture the depth of HD you'll need professional video editing software such as Sony Vegas or Adobe Premiere, both of which retail for around $600.

    Your final consideration is getting your Absolute Redheads HD out of your computer and into your fanclub. Because each hour of HD footage can take up as much as 10GB, you'll need a high speed internet connection that can handle uploading that much content; A 1MBps transfer rate is sufficient. If your ISP doesn't provide that level of service, you can always puchase a DVD burner and mail your Absolute Redheads HD content directly to us!
  8. Can I customize the camcorder settings to get a better picture?
    We strongly recommend that you stay with the built-in defaults. The HD camcorder does a very good job at automatically adjusting to different lighting and focus conditions. Plus, if you change settings, you have to be extremely careful not to adjust any settings that affect the capture and recording onto miniDV of your footage. (The last thing you want is to send us your tapes, only to learn that we were unable to use them because they were recorded in the wrong format). If you nevertheless feel compelled to adjust the settings, we have one additional recommendation to suggest: Don't adjust any settings unless you can view your HD image on a full-size HD monitor, and can properly gauge how changes in settings will affect the final picture quality. (Judging picture quality by using only the flip-out viewfinder is a risky proposition).
  9. HD sounds great, and users will no doubt love it, but I don't know if I can afford full-blown HD video quality right now. Is there another way I can get some of the benefits of Absolute Redheads HD without turning my home into a Hollywood production studio?
    Yes. Although the HD showcase and similar areas of Absolute Redheads requires HD video, snapshots from those video clips appear on Absolute Redheads as regular archive images (just larger). But there's another way that you can get high-definition archive images of yourself onto Absolute Redheads: Your FanClub manager (choose "Pics" under "Eye Candy") has an "upload" facility that permits you to upload jpegs and gifs of yourself. When you upload any Jpg or Gif that is "high-resolution" – i.e., at least 720 pixels tall and/or at least 960 pixels wide – Absolute Redheads labels your image-upload as "HD", and will present it as such to users who encounter your archive materials, so these users will now think of you as a "high quality" or "high definition" host. Most inexpensive digital cameras on the market today will produce jpeg and/or gif images substantially larger than 720 pixels tall. In fact, such image sizes aren't even a single "megapixel"; yet inexpensive digital cameras available from CostCo or Wal-Mart or Target offer multiple "megapixels" for a price that's less than you'd pay for dinner at a good restaurant. It may not be true HD video, but users will love you for giving them the chance to see you up-close-and-personal through high-def jpegs & gifs.
