I have to take this moment to just flat out complain about people using their wide screen cellular devices that are plenty capable of doing hi res video, only they do it in PORTRAIT MODE! It sucks! This is no way to present video.
For instance today there was a terrible plane crash in Reno Nevada today at an annual air show. I plain nose dived straight to the ground only 200 feet from onlookers.
This was devastating and I quickly went to YouTube and found only 3 videos had been uploaded so far. The clearest video you can tell was from maybe an iphone or android phone only the person didn’t turn the phone sideways to take advantage of the widescreen recording. This makes the video awful and you cannot see a lot of what is going on. Here is the link the the video and also a screen shot to show you what I mean.
Look at the wasted space on each side of the video. This sucks!
Look at this same thing on Facebook. Its soo much better in widescreen.
Example This:
And when clicked:
IS MUCH BETTER THAN THIS:
And when clicked:
See it sucks! We are missing a lot of whats going on here.
Sorry my Facebook friend. I had to use you as an example. You were the first video I could find recently.
So everyone…
REPEAT AFTER ME: I WILL NEVER TAKE A VIDEO WITH MY PHONE IN PORTRAIT MODE. I WILL NEVER TAKE A VIDEO WITH MY PHONE IN PORTRAIT MODE.
I WILL NEVER TAKE A VID…..
You get the idea, so STOP DOING IT !!!
