It's in your bag

Please stop the vertical video madness

December 11, 2018 By Scott Leave a Comment

Hands up if you've ever visited the home of someone who mounted their living room TV vertically just for the fun of it… Now, hands up if you are guilty of shooting video vertically with your phone…

Now, of course I'd hate for this blog to become a rant blog, but if you'd ask me what my major pet peeves are with technology, number one would be lousy battery life, but number two would have to be the amount of vertical video still being shot in 2018.

Part of the problem comes from the phone makers who seem incapable of designing their camera software to force the video into the correct format, but it really isn't too hard to turn your phone 90 degrees to ensure the rest of the world doesn't have to suffer when they watch that one clip of your adorable baby, or you doing something really stupid, like rocket powered jetski boots, or shooting video holding your phone wrong 🙂

So, next time you feel the urge to film something, think of my rant, and turn that phone before you hit record!
