Vivid Entertainment Group is the world's largest adult video producer, featuring a popular catalog of VHS and DVD titles and internet content. In 2006 it was described by Reuters as one of the handful of studios that dominate the U.S. porn industry.
Vivid specializes in high-production-value movies, shot in exotic locations with professional lighting and quality cinematography. Vivid also produces gay porn movies under the names "Vivid Man" and "Vivid Video."
In the past, Vivid has had a strict policy mandating condom use, and the sexual activities shown are generally "milder" than those of Vivid's competitors. Scenes of bondage are rare and particularly mild. Vivid did not follow the path taken by much of the rest of the U.S. porn industry in the late 1990s toward more explicit and extreme activities. Intercourse almost always involves a heterosexual couple. These policies are intended to appeal to a wide, mainstream market (including women and heterosexual couples) that may not rent or buy pornographic movies frequently. Vivid now produces many G/G films.
Vivid-Alt
In February 2006 Vivid made its first foray into Alt porn with the signing of Director Eon McKai and the formation of the Vivid-Alt imprint. Vivid-Alt in turn hired erotic photographers— Dave Naz and Octavio "Winkytiki" Arizala to direct features for the imprint.
The first film directed by Eon McKai under that imprint "Girls Lie" was nominated for a 2007 AVN Award under the Best Director Non-Feature. There were a total 13 nominations for various Vivid-Alt imprint releases.
Vivid Ed
In March 2007 Vivid signed award-winning author, columnist, editor and sex educator Tristan Taormino to head up the Vivid-Ed imprint whose line has produced several how-to DVD sex guides including "The Expert Guide To Anal Sex," "The Expert Guide to Oral Sex, Part 1: Cunnilingus," "The Expert Guide to Oral Sex, Part 2: Fellatio" and "The Expert Guide to the G-Spot." On April 4, 2008 Vivid Ed's two oral sex instructional titles and director Tristan Taormino received an Emma Award from the Feminist Porn Awards in Toronto, Canada.
